Amidst these chaotic discussions, a young mother held her daughter's hand and approached with reverence: "Excuse me, are you going to fight against the soldiers of the Shadow Council? My daughter has always dreamed of becoming like you. Hero.”
The little girl hid shyly behind her mother, revealing only half of her curious little face, and her big eyes full of yearning. Xu Mo bent down and smiled softly: "Everyone has a sword in their heart to fight against the darkness. As long as you are brave and persistent, one day you can become the light that illuminates others."
After listening, the little girl's eyes flashed with crystal tears and she nodded vigorously. Her mother bowed gratefully and watched them go until they disappeared at the end of the road.
During the trip, Xu Mo discussed the upcoming challenges with his companions from time to time. Su Meier suggested: "We should learn more information about the Shadow Council in advance. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."
Carlos nodded in agreement and flipped through the information in the diary: "I found some clues in this diary that may lead us to where they are hiding."
Allen seemed more practical: "No matter what, our first priority is to rescue the suffering villages. Every time we rescue a place, it is equivalent to weakening the power of the Shadow Council."
As they explored deeper, the scenery of the places they passed became more and more dangerous, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn. On the edge of a deserted town, they found a group of ragged refugees huddled together shivering.
When an elderly man among the refugees saw them, an imperceptible light of hope flashed in his eyes: "Please, great warriors, please help us. Monsters attacked our home last night, and many people Missing, the rest are homeless ”
Xu Mo frowned when he heard this, and a strong sense of mission surged in his heart: "Don't worry, we will do our best to help you. Please tell us what happened and the possible whereabouts of the monster."
The refugees’ narratives provided them with valuable clues and made the team aware of the seriousness of the problem. It turns out that the Shadow Council seems to be secretly carrying out some more terrifying plan in an attempt to control more powerful creatures as weapons.
Night fell again, and they took a break in a dilapidated church. Xu Mo stared at the dancing candlelight with mixed feelings in his heart: "The power of the shadow seems to be stronger than we imagined, but we cannot retreat."
Su Meier caressed the pendant on her chest with a firm gaze: "Because of this, we must unite more closely and illuminate every dark corner with light."
At this time, Carlos was flipping through the map and suddenly made a new discovery: "Here, an ancient ruins, is said to have been a place where evil was sealed. If my guess is correct, it may be the next target of the Shadow Council."< br>
"Then let's take one step ahead and stop them." Allen made the final decision, his voice full of desire and determination to fight.
Beside the campfire, the four people's discussion gradually subsided, and the stars twinkled in the night sky, as if witnessing their determination. At this moment, a rush of footsteps interrupted the calm, and a young man with an anxious face ran in.
"You...you must help us! That...that village has completely disappeared, as if it never existed..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. This was not just a simple destruction, but also involved some unknown and terrifying power. The Shadow Council's actions seemed to be faster and more ruthless than expected.
"Let's set off immediately." Xu Mo stood up, the holy sword glowed with cold silver in the moonlight, and his eyes burned with unyielding flames, "No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we must reveal the true face of the Shadow Council and protect Peace on this continent”
"Yes, we must not let darkness swallow up light!" Allen clenched his fists, fighting high.
"We will go with you!" The young man fell to his knees suddenly, his eyes full of pleading, "My family, and many innocent people, they are all... they are still waiting for us."
"Get up, we are on the same journey." Xu Mo helped the young man up and glanced at everyone present, "This time, we not only want to fight, but also save. Every strength is crucial."
In the night wind, the team of five embarked on an unknown journey to the disappeared village. On the road, the travelers and villagers I met by chance cast complex glances, some with fear, some with hope, and most of them with deep respect.
"Look, that's them! The legendary apostles of light!" The two young farmers stopped their work and whispered to each other.
"I really hope they can succeed. We need more people like them in this world." Another middle-aged woman echoed, with tears in her eyes.
After passing through the dense forest and crossing the pass, they finally came to the blank land - where the village used to be, but now there was only a desolation, as if it was a corner forgotten by time. Everyone's hearts were heavy, and the air was filled with uneasiness and mystery.
"What...is going on?" The young man's trembling voice broke the silence.
"Energy fluctuations." Carlos took out the detector and the pointer swung wildly. "The powerful traces of magic are definitely not disappearing naturally, but... space transfer?"
Su Meier frowned and looked around: "If it is space magic, the energy required... is unimaginable."
"It seems that the Shadow Council has mastered power that we have not touched." Xu Mo said solemnly, holding the sword tighter, "We must find them, expose and stop all this."
At this moment, the ground shook slightly, a tiny crack slowly spread, and everyone quickly retreated. As the crack widened, an ancient book rose from the ground and opened automatically. The pages of text shone with a strange light.
"Is this... a summons?" The young man was dumbfounded.
"More like a guide." Xu Mo walked over and touched the page. The text seemed to come alive. Pictures appeared in front of them, revealing the location of the secret base of the Shadow Council and an earth-shattering conspiracy.
"We must act without delay." Allen clenched his fists.
"However, we must also be careful." Su Meier reminded, "The appearance of this book is too coincidental and may be a trap."
"No matter what, we have no retreat." Xu Mo closed the ancient book with firm eyes, "For the sake of those missing people and for the peace of the mainland, we must find out."
The night became darker, and under the guidance of the stars, the group headed in the direction indicated in the book. Along the way, more refugees joined them, each with a story and hope. In their own way, they silently supported the battle against the shadows.
Finally, at the entrance of a hidden valley, they stopped. Ahead is the base camp of the Shadow Council, and it is also the abyss they must cross.
"Are you ready?" Xu Mo turned around and faced the people following him, including the brave men who gathered from all corners.
"For the light!" Everyone responded in unison, and the sound was loud. It was a call from the bottom of their hearts and the most direct declaration of war against the darkness.
"Then, let's move forward, for the sake of everything we are sworn to protect." Xu Mo took the lead, raising the holy sword high and cutting through the sky, like a ray of light at dawn.
As they entered the valley, the ultimate showdown between light and darkness quietly began. Although the road to the future is unknown and full of thorns, in their hearts, the belief in light is brighter than any magic and is enough to illuminate the way forward until the final victory.
"No matter how it ends, our story will be the best illustration of the victory of light over darkness." Allen whispered to Xu Mo beside him, with uncertainty about the future and trust in his companions in his eyes.
Xu Mo smiled slightly and replied: "And this light will be passed on to future generations by ourselves, telling them that as long as they have courage and unity, darkness will eventually be replaced by light."
At the other end of the valley, the shadows of the Shadow Council were ready to move, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. But in front of this group of bright-minded warriors, even the deepest darkness no longer seems so insurmountable.
"Let's start, for the sake of light, for hope, for every soul waiting for redemption." Xu Mo's words are both a declaration and an inspiration. Along with the wind in the valley, they spread to every corner, awakening more people. What a sleeping soul.
"Yes, for the light!" Warriors of different ages and identities responded, and their voices merged into a force that cannot be ignored, reverberating in the valley and stirring up echoes.
While traveling, an old man holding a baby blocked their way. His face was full of traces of time, but his eyes were filled with eternal hope. "I have heard about your deeds. Although I am no longer able to fight, please allow me to send you blessings. May the God of Light bless you, and may your swords always point to the darkness." He bowed deeply. , the surrounding crowd followed suit, forming a wave of respect.
"Old man, your trust is our biggest motivation." Xu Mo replied solemnly, his tone full of responsibility and responsibility, "We will bring back the light and make you and everyone feel at ease."
Continuing to move forward, they also met a young artist who was painting a mural. He carved the heroic figures of warriors on the stone wall with trembling hands. "I want everyone to know that even in the darkest moments, there are messengers of light fighting against it." The artist's eyes flashed with a strange light, as if he was using his brush to add footnotes to this legend.
"Your painting will be our eternal memory." Su Meier gently touched the mural, her voice soft but firm, "When we are no longer here, it will tell our story and inspire those who come after us to continue to fight."
Just when they were about to arrive at the Shadow Council stronghold, an unexpected reinforcement appeared - a group of nomads wearing strange costumes, riding tall war horses and waving strange weapons in their hands. "We come from afar, heard about your feats, and decided to join you." Their leader announced loudly, which was a support and trust beyond words.
"Welcome to join. Every heart that is willing to fight against the darkness is precious." Carlos patted the neck of the war horse beside him and looked forward resolutely. At this moment, they were no longer alone and helpless, but leaning against each other. The hope of the entire continent.
Finally, they stood in front of the gate of the Shadow Parliament. It was a fortress made of black stones, gloomy and depressing, like the entrance to a nightmare. But no one flinched, there was only unyielding and determination in their eyes.
"We are here, ready to face the final challenge." Allen looked around. His teammates had resolute expressions, and behind him were countless expectant eyes. "Remember, we are fighting for the light, and for those innocent lives, we cannot lose!"
"Let's go!" Xu Mo shouted, and the holy sword shot out of the air, drawing a dazzling trajectory, like a horn of charge, arousing everyone's blood. As the door suddenly opened, they stepped into the unknown world without hesitation and faced the final battle.
Behind them, outside the valley, those who could not participate in the battle in person still depended on each other closely, sending strength to the warriors with their most sincere prayers and expectations. This is a testimony of an era, a battle between light and darkness, and they believe that the final victory will belong to those brave enough to pursue the light.
"No matter what the outcome is, today, we are all witnesses." An old man said to the children around him. The children nodded ignorantly, with longing for the future shining in their eyes. "They will come back, come back with light."
"Look, that's it!" Suddenly, a young girl pointed to the sky and exclaimed. Everyone looked up and saw an unusual light gradually glowing in the sky, as if echoing the determination of the warriors, bringing a glimmer of life to this dark battlefield.
"Is it a miracle? Or..." The crowd was talking a lot, with shock and hope mixed on their faces.
"Yes, it is a symbol of hope." An elder said calmly, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes, "Warriors will never be alone, and light will always bloom in the darkest moments."
While everyone was discussing, the light seemed to sense something, and gradually condensed into shape, turning into a huge phoenix, spreading its wings and soaring over the Shadow Parliament. Where its wings covered it, even the thickest black mist seemed to be dispersed. A little bit.
"Phoenix! The legendary messenger of light!" The artist's pupils suddenly dilated. He quickly grabbed the brush and quickly recorded this shocking scene, for fear of missing any detail. "This will become the most glorious chapter in history!" Within the Shadow Council, the arrogant dark forces felt an unprecedented threat. A low and cold voice sounded: "How is it possible that the power of light penetrated our defenses so easily? It seems that we have to start the plan in advance." (End of Chapter)
