Chapter 272 The Path to Breaking the Impasse and Mysterious Assistance
Inside the cave, darkness, thick as ink, almost completely engulfed them. The immense power emanating from the shadowy figures weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, like a colossal boulder. Huanmo struggled to wield his divine weapon, its light flickering in and out of the darkness. Each parry left his arm aching, his spiritual energy nearly depleted. "This dark power... it's getting stronger and stronger. How much longer can we hold out?" he thought to himself, a deep worry creeping into his heart as he looked at his companions' weary yet tenacious figures.
Ling'er huddled in the corner, clutching the book tightly to her hands, her eyes fixed on the flashing runes. Fear was ever-present, but she knew she couldn't back down now. "Brother Huanmo, I must decipher this prophecy, I can..." she kept encouraging herself, her voice trembling but filled with unwavering determination.
Wanru and the woman in white stood back to back, supporting each other. Wanru's weapon was badly damaged, and the white-clad woman's magical light was growing increasingly dim. Wanru spat and cursed, "This wretched shadow, I'll tear you to pieces!" But she knew in her heart that their strength was far too insignificant before the shadow. The white-clad woman softly comforted her, "Don't lose heart, we will definitely find a way." But her eyes also betrayed her worry.
The guardian stood before the group, casting defensive spells with all his might, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. "This shadowy figure seems to be constantly absorbing the dark elements within the cave. If this continues, our defenses won't hold for long," he said anxiously, pondering a way to break the deadlock.
Ling'er was completely absorbed in deciphering the runes on the scroll, as if time had frozen. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Huanmo, I think I've found some clues! The prophecy mentions that deep within the cave, there is a forgotten source of light that might be able to fight against this dark power."
Huanmo was overjoyed. "Really? Then let's hurry and search deeper into the cave!" But looking at the surging dark power, he became worried. "How do we break through this dark barrier?"
The mysterious man pondered for a moment and said, "We can concentrate our strength, and I will cast a spell to temporarily disrupt the shadowy figure's attack rhythm. You can take the opportunity to rush deeper into the cave. But this spell won't last long, so you need to be quick."
Everyone nodded and quickly prepared. Huanmo condensed the light of the divine artifact, Ling'er hugged the book tightly, and Wanru and the woman in white gripped their weapons, ready to charge at any moment.
The guardian took a deep breath, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he chanted incantations. A strange light shot from his hands, hurtling towards the shadowy figure. The shadowy figure seemed to be disrupted, its attack rhythm thrown into disarray.
"Now's the time, charge!" Huanmo shouted, and the group rushed into the depths of the cave like arrows. The dark forces frantically tried to stop them, with black tentacles constantly reaching out. The group dodged left and right, inflicting more wounds on their bodies.
As the group struggled forward, golden light suddenly began to flash on the cave walls. The light gradually converged, forming ancient runes. These runes emitted a gentle power, resisting the dark forces.
“This is…” Huanmo looked at the runes on the wall in surprise, a surge of hope rising in his heart.
The mysterious man's face lit up with surprise. "These are ancient runes of light. They sensed our crisis and manifested themselves to help us."
With the help of the runes of light, the obstruction of the dark forces was greatly reduced. The group quickened their pace and ran deeper into the cave. As they went further, a faint light appeared ahead. Though weak, the light was like a beacon, guiding them in the right direction.
"Is that the source of light?" Wanru asked excitedly.
"Yes, everyone, speed up!" Huanmo said, and the group's pace quickened.
However, the shadowy figure seemed to sense that they were about to reach a critical point, and it let out a deafening roar. Dark power coalesced once more, forming a black barrier that stood before them.
The black barrier exuded a powerful aura of darkness, inspiring awe and fear. Huanmo and the others stopped in their tracks, looking at the barrier before them, their hearts filled with worry.
"This barrier is so powerful, how are we going to get through it?" Ling'er said worriedly.
Huanmo gripped the divine artifact tightly, his eyes resolute. "No matter what, we must try. Let's all gather our power into the artifact and see if we can break through this barrier."
Everyone nodded, channeling their last bit of power into the divine artifact. Huanmo gripped the artifact tightly with both hands, its light blazing brightly. He roared and slashed at the black barrier. The artifact's light collided with the black barrier, erupting in a dazzling display of light and a deafening roar.
The cave shook violently, and rocks fell everywhere. Everyone watched nervously as the artifact clashed with the barrier, praying for success. However, the black barrier was exceptionally sturdy; despite the artifact's powerful light, it could only cause it to tremble slightly.
"No, this barrier is too strong." Huanmo frowned, his heart filled with anxiety.
At this moment, everyone's strength was almost exhausted, and the shadowy figure could launch another attack at any time.
