Sebastian raised the fragments of light in his hands, which shone dazzlingly in the sunlight, like beacons of hope: "Let our stories be a guide for those who come after us, telling them that even if the world is shrouded in darkness, We must also be brave enough to pursue that glimmer of light.”
Wrapped in a burst of light, the three of them, together with the newly acquainted warriors, embarked on their return journey. Behind them is the void that has returned to calm, as if they are witnessing the starting point of a great journey. What lies ahead is a vast world full of unknowns and challenges, but also full of hope.
"Go home, tell everyone about your experience here, and tell them that the light will never go out." Sebastian's words drifted gently into everyone's hearts with the wind.
"Then, set off again, because we are messengers of light." Leah added with a smile, her eyes showing both longing for home and desire for a new journey.
"For the sake of the light and our homeland, we will never give up." Su Mo's words were like an oath and a preview of unknown challenges.
As their figures gradually fade away, only their indestructible faith and endless hope echo in the void. And the place that was once shrouded in darkness seemed to have been infected by their courage and determination, and had an imperceptible warmth.
The cold wind howled, bringing with it a severe cold that did not belong to this season. It seemed that even the air was trembling. The children of light's return journey was interrupted by a sudden snowstorm. In the vast white snowfield, a huge figure slowly appeared. It was a giant beast with its whole body covered in frost and its eyes like deep cold pools - the Ice Demon King.
"It seems that our journey will not be smooth sailing." Su Mo narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. His figure looked extremely firm in the wind and snow.
Leah chanted the spell quickly, and the storm surrounding them seemed to have eased, but her face was solemn: "This power...the Ice Demon King, the legendary King of the Far North, actually exists."
Sebastian's eyes were fixed on the towering figure in the distance, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The legendary monster? Just in time, let's see if the power of light can purify this ancient ice."< br>
The Ice Demon King snorted coldly, and the sound was like a cold wind passing through, piercing into the bone marrow: "How dare you disturb this king's eternal sleep, a small creature. Let you see the power of being frozen for thousands of years!"
In an instant, the surrounding snow quickly froze, forming countless sharp ice blades that flew towards the three of them. Su Mo was agile and his sword was like a weave, cutting through the incoming ice blades one by one; Leah used magic to weave a halo of protection to resist those fish that slipped through the net; Sebastian rushed forward bravely, The tip of the sword pointed directly at the heart of the Ice Demon King.
"You can't stop the rule of ice. This world will eventually be frozen forever!" The Ice Demon King waved his arms, and huge ice cones fell from the sky, trying to bury them completely.
"As long as there is light in our hearts, ice cannot freeze our will!" Leah waved her staff, and the light turned into a shield, blocking the falling ice cones, but even the blessing of the fragments of light made her His face turned pale.
Just when the battle was stalemate, an unexpected voice broke the deadlock: "Huh, just ice, you want to trap me too?" It was a flame mage who walked out of the newly acquainted warriors. He waved his hands and fired a blazing The fireball spurted out and collided head-on with the Ice Demon King's power. For a moment, the symphony of ice and fire shook the entire battlefield.
"Good opportunity!" Sebastian took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and the blade of his sword drew a dazzling light in the air, directly hitting the Ice Demon King's vitals. Su Mo and Liya worked closely together to resist the invasion of frost while looking for opportunities to completely defeat their opponents.
"It's impossible...my power..." Panic appeared in the Ice Demon King's voice for the first time, and cracks began to appear in its body, which was the light of victory intertwined with light and flame.
"The light will illuminate every corner, even the frozen heart!" Leah's voice echoed through the sky. Her staff gathered everyone's power and turned into a brilliant beam of light, penetrating the Ice Demon King. body.
With an earth-shaking roar, the figure of the Ice Demon King gradually dissipated, leaving only a pure land of ice and snow. It seemed that even this severe cold had been purified.
"We... have passed another level." Su Mo gasped, his eyes showing both exhaustion and relief.
Leah walked towards him with a smile and stretched out her hand: "It is precisely because of these challenges that our journey becomes more precious. Every victory makes us believe more in the power of light."
Sebastian stood aside and stared into the distance: "The awakening of the Ice Demon may be just the beginning. In the future, there are more unknowns waiting for us."
The three of them stood side by side again, looking at each other, their firmness and trust self-evident. Along the way, they are not only partners, but also family members, facing all challenges together.
"No matter what lies ahead, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Su Mo's words were concise and powerful. Just like him, he could always give everyone strength at critical moments.
Leah chuckled softly, her smile containing fearlessness for the future and deep trust in her companions: "Then, let us continue to move forward and bring light to every dark corner until there is no more ice in the world. ”
Just as they were preparing to continue their journey, bursts of exclamation and discussion suddenly came from all around. It turned out that at some point, a group of local villagers gathered around them, their eyes full of awe and surprise.
"Look, it's them! The heroes who defeated the Ice Demon!" A young villager pointed at the three of them, his eyes shining with disbelief.
"It's incredible. Those legendary stories I have heard about, I actually saw it with my own eyes today!" An old man touched his beard with emotion written on his face.
The children were even more excited and jumped around the warriors. A childish voice asked: "Brothers and sisters, are you really from the stars?"
Sebastian bent down with a smile and looked level with the children: "We come from a very far away place, but our purpose is to make every place as bright as a star."
Leah gently patted the head of the child next to her and said softly: "Yes, light belongs to everyone. No matter where you are, you can become the light of your own world."
The villagers spontaneously provided a warm haven and food for the three people, and their gratitude was beyond words. During dinner, everyone sat around the campfire and shared their stories.
A villager held a bowl of hot soup and handed it to Su Mo: "Drinking this will warm your heart. What you have done will warm your heart even more than this fire."
Su Mo took it and sincerely thanked: "We will keep this warmth in our hearts. Please also believe that as long as we are still there, the darkness will not last long."
It was late at night, when most of the villagers had fallen asleep, and the three warriors sat around the campfire, discussing their next plan.
Sebastian was the first to speak, with a serious tone: "The 'beginning' mentioned by the Ice Demon just now gave me an ominous premonition. We may be about to face greater challenges, and we must be prepared."
< br>
Leia nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if the awakening of the Ice Demon King is just a prologue, then the next enemies may be more difficult. We need to find more fragments of light to increase our power."
Su Mo clenched his fists, fighting spirit burning in his eyes: "No matter what the future holds, I will not back down. However, we cannot fight alone. We must unite more people to fight against the coming threats."
While he was talking, a young villager hurried over, panting: "Adults, there is a strange phenomenon in the valley outside the village. The sky seems to have cracked, and a strange light is coming from inside!"
The three of them looked at each other and stood up immediately. Sebastian patted the young villager on the shoulder: "Take us to see."
When they arrived at the valley, the sight before them shocked everyone: a huge portal appeared in the sky, and strange energy poured out of it. It was neither light nor darkness, but an unknown force. .
"What is this?" Su Mo muttered to himself, his hand unconsciously clenching the sword.
Leah looked up and stared, with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes: "A new challenge may also be an opportunity. We must figure out whether this force is an enemy or a friend."
Sebastian took a few steps forward with a firm voice: "No matter what, we can't wait for the answer here. We must take the initiative to explore and find the answer for our world and all the worlds."
Liya and Su Mo followed, and the three of them walked towards the unknown portal in the night. Their backs were illuminated by the firelight, looking extremely determined and brave.
"No matter what it is, we are ready to receive it, right?" Su Mo asked, more affirmatively.
"Never give up on the light until the last moment." Leah replied, her tone full of strength and determination.
Sebastian finally spoke, his voice calm and powerful: "Yes, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, as long as we join hands, there is nothing we can't defeat. Let us work together to uncover this unknown secret."< br>
"Let's go, friends, head towards the unknown!" Su Mo strode into the mysterious light door first, and his figure was quickly engulfed by the strange light.
"Wait for us, Su Mo!" Leah followed closely, her magic jumping at her fingertips, as if it was a test of the unknown, and she seemed to be laying a bright bridge for the road ahead.
Sebastian was the last one to enter, looking back at the village that had just given them warmth, and silently thinking in his heart: "I hope our courage and persistence can protect such tranquility and peace."
The world inside the door seemed to be in another dimension, and the bizarre scenery kept changing. They seemed to have traveled through the long river of time and space, and every time they blinked, it was a brand new world. The three of them maintained a tight formation, alert to every subtle change in their surroundings.
"Here, it feels like a mixture of dreams and reality." Leah looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's more like a foreign world in ancient legends, full of unknowns and dangers." Sebastian added, the sword in his hand never leaving his hand, ready to deal with possible crises at any time.
Suddenly, a low and distant chanting sound came from not far away. It was a language they had never heard before, but they felt their hearts trembling inexplicably. The three of them followed the sound and found a group of people in strange costumes performing some kind of ceremony on a vast plain.
"Look, what are they summoning?" Su Mo lowered his voice and motioned for everyone to observe in secret.
"No, this is not a summons, it's more like an invitation to stay." Leah observed carefully and discovered the reluctance and despair in those people's eyes.
At this time, an old man who looked like the leader of the clan noticed them. There was a hint of surprise in his weather-beaten eyes. Then he slowly walked forward and said in an accent mixed with jerky common language: "Foreign travelers, You should not be here. This is our final fight against fate. The door to reincarnation is about to close, and our world will disappear with it."
"The Gate of Reincarnation? What's going on?" Su Mo took a step forward, his eyes full of doubts and concern.
The old man sighed, seemed to have made a certain decision, and pointed to the gradually dimming light door: "This door is the only channel for our world to connect with the outside world. Now that the energy is exhausted, the door will close, and we will disappear together. In the dust of history.”
"Is there a way to stop this? We'd like to help!" Leah expressed their wishes firmly.
The old man showed a complicated expression, both surprised and somewhat relieved: "According to legend, the Messenger of Light can rekindle the fire of reincarnation, but this requires extremely strong will and pure light. Are you sure you want to do this? ?”
"Since we are here, we are destined. For this world and for our world, we are willing to try everything possible." Sebastian's voice was resounding and unquestionable.
So, under the leadership of the old man, they participated in an unprecedented ceremony. The three of them poured their strength and belief into the Gate of Reincarnation. Along with the prayers and songs of the people around them, the door began to shine with unprecedented light. An ancient and sacred power awakens in this land.
Just when the light reached its peak and everything seemed to be solved, a gloomy voice sounded in the void: "Stupid mortals dare to block the wheel of fate. I am the gatekeeper of darkness, the true master of the door of reincarnation."
As the voice fell, a dark hand stretched out from the void, trying to cover the newly revived light. Su Mo, Leah and Sebastian stood up without hesitation and blocked the intersection of light and darkness.
"If you want to pass us, ask about the sword in your hand first!" Su Mo's sword flashed and pointed directly at the dark arm. "The battle between light and darkness is never a simple confrontation of strength, but a victory of faith and hope." Leah's staff glowed brightly, and circles of halo spread, warming every hopeful soul. (End of chapter)
