However, as soon as he finished speaking, several members of the Dark Order around him were defeated by Su Meier and Allen, and were unable to fight anymore.
"Your end has come!" Allen said coldly.
However, the black-robed leader suddenly showed a cold smile and said: "Do you think this is the end? The real dark power has just begun!"
After saying that, a strange rune suddenly appeared in his hand, and the whole person quickly disappeared in a ray of black light.
Xu Mo immediately felt a strong uneasiness. He said to everyone: "We must figure out his plan quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Carlos looked around and said, "We must track him. He is probably planning a bigger conspiracy. There may be more clues in this ruins."
Su Meier saw some scattered rune papers on the ground, so she picked them up and looked at them carefully: "These runes write the steps of some kind of summoning ritual. It seems that the Dark Order is really planning a huge conspiracy."
Allen held the sword in his hand tightly and said firmly: "No matter what, we must stop their plan, even if we risk our lives!"
At this moment, they heard rapid footsteps in the distance. Everyone became alert and saw a ragged villager running into the ruins in a panic, shouting in horror: "Help! Help!"
Xu Mo quickly stepped forward to support the villager and asked, "What happened? Calm down and talk nicely."
The villager took a breath and tried to calm down: "Members of the Dark Order suddenly attacked the village, and now everyone is trapped there. They said they would use the lives of the entire village to complete an evil ritual!"
Carlos' expression changed: "Oops, time is running out! We must return to the village immediately to stop their actions!"
"Let's go!" Xu Mo gave the order without hesitation, "We will go back immediately!"
Along the way, everyone ran quickly, and the screams and cries of the villagers continued to echo in the air. Their moods became heavier and heavier, and everyone's nerves were like taut strings.
Back in the village, they were stunned by the scene in front of them: in the square in the center of the village, a huge dark altar had been built. The villagers were tied into a row and kneeling on the ground. The leader in black robes was standing in front of the altar and sneered.
Xu Mo roared: "Stop! You despicable guys!"
The black-robed leader turned slightly and glanced at them coldly: "You have come just in time. We are short of some sacrifices. Now I will offer you too."
Allen rushed over angrily, but before he could get close, he was bounced away by a powerful dark energy and fell heavily to the ground. "Ah!" Allen groaned in pain, but still struggled to get up.
"Ellen!" Su Meier shouted loudly, and immediately ran over to help him up. Her eyes began to get wet: "Don't be impulsive, we need to calm down."
Xu Mo took a deep breath and calmed down: "You will not succeed. The power of light will sweep away all darkness here."
The black-robed leader laughed indifferently: "Hahaha, you are so naive. Light? In the face of absolute darkness, light is useless!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side: "I don't think so." Everyone looked around and saw a white-haired old man slowly walking to the center of the square, holding a glowing scepter.
"Village Chief!" The villagers' eyes showed hope, as if they were seeing the last savior.
The village chief said in a deep voice: "Xu Mo, Su Meier, and Allen, you have done a good job. Next, let me help you."
The black-robed leader sneered: "An old man in his twilight years also wants to change his destiny against the will of heaven?"
However, the village chief was unmoved. He inserted the scepter into the ground. Suddenly, a huge light barrier appeared above the entire square, shining brightly and tightly sealing the dark power within.
The face of the black-robed leader changed suddenly, and he obviously did not expect this sudden change: "What...what is going on?"
The village chief explained calmly: "This is the enchantment of light, where the dark forces will be completely suppressed. And you, in the end, will have nowhere to escape."
Allen stood up again and looked at Xu Mo: "What should we do?"
Xu Mo took a deep breath and said firmly: "Now is our chance. While they are trapped in the barrier, we can defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Su Meier nodded: "Yes, we must seize this opportunity!"
Carlos pulled out his hunting knife with sharp eyes: "Then let's fight!"
The two sides once again engaged in a fierce confrontation. Although the members of the Dark Order tried to resist, their power was greatly weakened by the light barrier, while the morale of Xu Mo, Allen and others became increasingly high.
"For the light!" Xu Mo shouted, the shadow of his sword flashed, and he quickly cut off the enemy's defense line.
"For my sister!" Allen's sword edge was like a dragon crossing the river, unstoppable.
"For the peace of life in the village!" Su Meier chanted a mantra and released powerful healing magic to continue to support her friends.
When the battle reached a stalemate, the black-robed leader said with a ferocious expression: "Do you think this will end everything?"
He took out a black crystal with strange lines from his arms and crushed it hard. Suddenly, an uncontrollable dark force was released from the crystal and broke through the light barrier.
The village chief's expression changed and he reminded loudly: "No! This power is too strong and the barrier cannot be maintained!"
Xu Mo said hurriedly: "We must defeat him immediately!"
Allen and Su Meier also used their strength at the same time to surround the black-robed leader. The black-robed leader laughed wildly: "Despair! Darkness is the ultimate winner!"
However, at this critical moment, the Purification Stone in Xu Mo's body once again emitted a strong light. This light rushed directly towards the black-robed leader and completely swallowed up his dark power.
Allen seized the opportunity, split the black-robed leader's defense with a sword, and stabbed in hard.
The black-robed leader let out a shrill scream, and his whole body gradually turned into nothingness, but he still smiled coldly before dissipating: "Do you think this is the end? The real power of darkness is coming..."
< br>
Before he finished speaking, his body completely disappeared into the air.
The villagers cheered and burst into tears: "We are rescued! Thank you!"
Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders: "The Dark Order has not been completely eliminated, we cannot relax our vigilance."
Allen and Su Meier also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we will continue to fight and bring light back to the whole world."
The village chief nodded approvingly: "You are all trustworthy heroes. Now take a good rest and prepare for the next battle."
Just as everyone was preparing to return to the village to resettle the villagers and discuss the next step, a seemingly ordinary villager suddenly stepped forward and handed over a yellowed sheepskin scroll with trembling hands: "This is left by my ancestors. It mentions An important clue to the fight against darkness.”
Everyone took it doubtfully and saw Xu Mo unrolling the scroll. It was painted with ancient totems and dense text descriptions, which seemed to point to a distant and mysterious place.
Su Meier frowned and read carefully, then whispered: "It is mentioned here that at the end of the deep forest, there is the residence of an ancient guardian, which is said to hold the key to sealing the dark power."
Carlos raised his eyebrows: "It seems that our journey is far from over."
At this time, a young villager ran over, panting: "Everyone, come and see, this is what just fell out of the black-robed leader."
In his hand was a silver ring engraved with complex symbols. Allen took it and examined it: "This does not look like an ordinary decoration. It may be the logo of the high-ranking members of the Dark Order."
"We must trace the source and find their base camp." Xu Mo's eyes were extremely firm.
In the next few days, the team followed the guidance of the scroll and traveled through the deep forest full of dangers. Every step was full of unknowns and challenges. Along the way, they rescued many villages troubled by dark forces and won the gratitude and respect of the people.
"Look, they are the heroes who defeated the Dark Order!" Passers-by said, their eyes full of awe and hope for their group.
Finally, they arrived at the place shown in the scroll - a huge stone door covered by dense vines, with patterns carved on the door that echoed the ring.
"Is this the guardian's residence?" Su Meier asked softly.
Just as everyone was staring at the stone door, wondering how to open it, the Purification Stone in Xu Mo's hand suddenly lit up, separated from the necklace on its own, and flew to the groove in the center of the stone door. The door suddenly opened, revealing a deep passage.
"It seems that this is our invitation." Carlos smiled, with the explorer's unique light shining in his eyes.
Going deep inside, they met the legendary guardian - an old man wearing a white robe with a kind face, whose eyes seemed to be able to see everything in the world.
"Long time no see, warriors of light. Your arrival heralds the imminent final battle between darkness and light." The old man's voice was long and deep.
Allen couldn't wait to ask: "Guardian, please tell us how to completely eliminate the dark power?"
The guardian slowly raised his hand, and scenes condensed in the air: "The dark power comes from a gem called 'Nightfall Star'. It was split into multiple fragments and scattered around the world. Only by collecting them all Fragments, use my holy weapon to seal them again to ensure the peace of the world.”
"This is a difficult task, are you ready?" The guardian's eyes were gentle, but with a hint of testing.
Xu Mo and others looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "For the sake of light and peace, it is our duty to do so."
The guardian nodded with satisfaction and granted them an ancient map and several sacred artifacts containing powerful power. Then, they embarked on a journey to find the fragments of the Nightfall Star.
With each piece collected, they faced more dangerous challenges and witnessed the various crimes behind the dark forces. Along the way, their names spread throughout the country and became legendary stories, inspiring more people to stand up and fight against the darkness.
"Look, they succeeded again! I really hope I can become that kind of hero." In the small town tavern, two young people were talking, their eyes full of yearning.
"One day, we will also contribute our share." Another echoed, raising his glass as if toasting to the warriors in the distance.
After countless battles and sacrifices, they finally gathered all the pieces and returned to the Guardians. On the eve of the decisive battle, the guardian integrated all the fragments into the holy weapon and turned it into a giant sword shining with holy light.
"May the light guide you and defeat the final darkness." The guardian handed the giant sword to Xu Mo and said sincerely.
The location of the final battle is in a place called the "Abyss of Shadow", where the dark power is most intense. As the two sides collided, the color of the sky and the earth changed, and the storm and light intertwined, forming a magnificent battlefield picture.
"For this world!" Xu Mo raised the holy sword high and slashed towards the core where all the dark fragments gathered.
At that moment, the world seemed to be still. Then, a dazzling light illuminated the entire world, and all darkness and evil were swept away.
The dust settled, the sun shone on the earth again, everything revived, and people cheered. Xu Mo and others have become eternal heroes in people's hearts. Their stories are as bright as stars and will always shine in the long river of history.
"You are our eternal light." An old man sighed to the returning heroes, tears shining between his wrinkles.
"No, it is the light in everyone's heart that makes all this possible." Xu Mo smiled and looked at the blue sky, his heart full of expectations for the future.
"But has peace really come?" A child's voice suddenly sounded, which was particularly clear among the celebrating crowd. He looked up, his young eyes full of curiosity and confusion, "The darkness has been eliminated, does it mean that a new adventure is about to begin again?"
The laughter in the crowd stopped suddenly, and everyone turned to look at the child. His question was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Xu Mo leaned down and stroked the child's head gently: "Little guy, your question is very profound. Indeed, every ending is the prologue of a new beginning. Although the darkness is sealed, the road to maintaining peace never ends. The future may There are many more challenges waiting for us.”
"Just like the brave men in the story, they always have to face new monsters and puzzles." Allen added with a smile. The children around him were fascinated, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing for the unknown world.
Su Meier answered from another angle: "What's more important is that we must learn to have the light in our hearts and illuminate every corner with love and wisdom. In this way, no matter how the outside world changes, the light in our hearts will never change." It will go out." The village chief stood aside and looked at the group of young people. The figure full of hope has infinite emotion in her heart: "As they say, real victory is not just about defeating external evil, but also about cultivating inner strength. Children, remember, everyone can be themselves "Hero" (End of Chapter)
