"We will do our best," Su Ye said firmly, "No matter what, we will not let the devil revive."
The noble stared at Su Ye, and nodded slightly after a while: "Okay, I can give you a chance. But if you fail, you will bear the consequences yourself."
"Thank you for your trust," Su Ye said, "We will definitely succeed."
Everyone stepped forward again, heading towards the Devil's Heart. On the platform, the red light emitted by the black crystal became brighter and brighter, as if foreshadowing an upcoming war.
"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will face it together," Toby said, holding the long knife with a firm look in his eyes.
"Yes, we are partners," Ariel added, "We will definitely overcome all difficulties."
Everyone worked together to prepare for the upcoming challenge. At this time, the atmosphere in the cave became more tense, as if even the air became heavy.
Just as everyone was about to touch the devil's heart, a dazzling red light suddenly shot out from the crystal, enveloping them. A low laugh was heard in the air, like a call from the abyss.
The laughter seemed to come from another world, cold and terrifying, making people shudder. There was a suffocating pressure in the air, and everyone felt an irresistible chill.
"Everyone be careful!" Su Ye warned loudly, and quickly drew out his long sword. The red light gradually formed a halo around them, surrounding them. As the light became stronger, a strange feeling came over him, as if some ancient power was awakening.
"What kind of magic is this?" Matthew asked in panic, with the bow and arrow in his hand ready to shoot at any time.
"I don't know either..." Ariel tightly grasped the shield in his hand, with an unprecedented solemn expression on his face, "but I feel something is wrong."
Just when everyone was on high alert, a blurry figure suddenly appeared in the red light. It was a figure wrapped in a black robe, his eyes were empty and deep, like a bottomless abyss, emitting an indescribable aura of fear.
"Welcome here," the black-robed man said in an icy voice, "I am the guardian of the Forbidden Eye, the Devil's Heart."
“Are you the guardian here?” The woman straightened her back and said firmly, “Our goal is to prevent the real demon from resurrecting. Please let us pass!”
The Forbidden Eye sneered, "Foolish mortals, you don't understand what you are facing. This is a sealed place and also a source of power. If you can really defeat me, there may still be a glimmer of hope."
Before he finished speaking, the entire cave began to shake violently, and countless black smoke gushed out of the cracks in the ground. The dark red armored warriors around immediately took up combat postures, apparently having been awakened to some kind of combat command.
"It seems we have no choice but to force our way in," Toby said in a deep voice, his eyes determined. "We have come this far, and we will never back down."
Ariel also tightened the shield in his hand: "No matter what lies ahead, we must move forward. The devil's heart is there, and we must not let the evil forces succeed."
The Forbidden Eye smiled coldly and raised his hands. In an instant, the surrounding black smoke gathered around him, forming a huge black mist vortex. "Come on, let me see if you are qualified."
As these words were spoken, the light in the center of the vortex suddenly burst into a strong red light. All of a sudden, all the surrounding warriors rushed over, waving their weapons and attacking everyone.
Matthew quickly pulled the bowstring, and an arrow accurately hit a charging warrior between the eyebrows. At the same time, Ariel raised his shield to block several long swords that were slashing at him. However, the number of enemies was too large, and soon their defense line was compressed to the limit.
At this critical moment, the noble who had helped them appeared again at the edge of the battlefield. He waved his hand gently, and several people in gorgeous clothes appeared behind him and quickly joined the battle.
The nobleman held a gorgeous short sword and fought swiftly with the enemy general, and it was difficult to tell who would win. His joining brought new variables to the situation.
Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Su Ye felt a little relieved. "We have a chance now. Let's concentrate our firepower to kill the leader!"
After that, she took the lead and charged forward with her sword. The others responded one after another and launched a fierce attack on the leading general. After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in repelling the main threat. Then, under the leadership of Su Ye, everyone began to attack the location of the forbidden eye.
"Your opponent is us!" Su Ye shouted, and her long sword slashed down at the strange being with a sound of breaking through the air. But her attack seemed to hit the air and there was no reaction - the figure lightly avoided the attack and sent out a shock wave with his backhand, directly knocking her away.
Seeing this, Toby and the others hurriedly protected their fallen companions and launched a fiercer attack. Although the opponent was extremely powerful, they still caused a lot of trouble to him with their unity and cooperation.
At this moment, the nobles were also trying their best to contain the remaining enemies and buy them precious time. However, even so, facing such a terrifying existence was still quite strenuous. Just when everyone was feeling desperate, a strange voice suddenly sounded...
This sudden change broke the tense atmosphere. Everyone stopped what they were doing involuntarily and focused their attention on the source of the sound: it turned out that the black crystal itself had changed.
Several complex and mysterious characters slowly appeared on the surface of the crystal, and then it emitted a brighter red light, and began to spin faster and faster...
The red light in the cave became more and more dazzling, and the rotating black crystal began to vibrate as if it had life. The air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, making people hold their breath involuntarily. The surrounding black fog warriors temporarily stopped attacking, staring blankly at the changes in the crystal.
"What is that? What pattern appears on the crystal?" Matthew whispered, his voice filled with disbelief and awe. The noble frowned, a flash of shock in his eyes: "That is...an ancient rune, recording the true secret of the devil's heart."
At the same time, some passers-by standing not far away also began to talk.
"Look! What kind of strange words are those?" A young man in a ragged cloak asked in amazement, "I have never seen such symbols before."
His friend nodded in agreement, staring intently at the light on the crystal: "This power... is simply unprecedentedly strong! How did these heroes do it?"
There was also an old man in the crowd, he stroked his white beard slowly, his eyes full of wisdom. "This is ancient power. It seems that this group of young heroes can really save us all." After he finished speaking, passers-by around him showed expectant eyes.
At this moment, the guardian of the Devil's Heart, the Forbidden Eye, let out an angry roar: "Foolish mortals! How dare you touch the sacred secret!" As he spoke, he waved his hand violently, and an invisible huge force attacked everyone.
Su Ye struggled to get up, the long sword in her hand making a clear dragon roar. "No matter what happens, we can't stop!" She shouted loudly, "Concentrate on dealing with this guardian!"
Ariel raised the shield to his chest to block a wave of shock waves, and said with gritted teeth: "Su Ye is right, we must take advantage of the unstable state of the crystal to end the battle in one fell swoop!" After that, he rushed towards the Forbidden Eye.
Toby quickly pulled the bowstring and fired a series of accurate shots at the opponent's vital points, but they were all easily deflected. "Damn... Doesn't this guy have a physical body at all?!" He cursed, but did not stop.
At this time, the supporters who had followed the nobles to join the battle were also trying their best to help the protagonist and his party resist the harassment of the surrounding enemies. One of the gorgeously dressed men used his staff to guide several ice spikes to repel several enemies approaching them. "Come on! Just hold on for a while!" He encouraged everyone loudly.
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, a soft and warm golden light suddenly emanated from the crystal. Then the entire space seemed to be purified and became quiet and peaceful. The strange figure let out a shrill scream, and the entire figure disintegrated and dissipated like an illusory bubble...
Just when everyone thought the battle was finally over, the mysterious noble walked towards the crowd with a serious expression: "Don't be too happy yet, things are not that simple." He pointed at the crystal that was gradually returning to normal but still glowing with a faint red light: "The real crisis has just begun. We need to find a way to seal this thing as soon as possible... otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Hearing this, Su Ye clenched the sword in his hand and looked at his teammates firmly: "No matter what, please believe that we can overcome the difficulties together."
As soon as the noble finished speaking, the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became heavy. Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a strange voice came from the center of the crystal. The voice was familiar and strange, like countless people whispering in their ears. Then, a strong red light suddenly shot out from the crystal and rushed straight into everyone's eyes.
"This...what's going on?!" Ariel screamed, and the shield in his hand unconsciously blocked his eyes.
However, there was no entity attacking them. Instead, a chaotic world gradually emerged in everyone's consciousness.
Su Ye found herself standing on a vast wasteland, surrounded by endless darkness and ruins, with only the blood-red moon above her head illuminating this dead land. "This... this is not reality! It's an illusion!" She realized this, but could not get rid of the oppressive feeling brought to her by this strange space.
Matthew, who was also in another scene, was strolling in a luxurious palace, surrounded by gold, silver, treasures and delicious food. In the distance, several people in gorgeous clothes smiled and waved to him: "Join us, and become one of the masters of this land." Such temptation made him hesitate, but he always remembered in his heart that his companions might be in danger.
In front of Toby's eyes, the small village where he lived in his childhood appeared, where his long-lost relatives and friends were sitting together enjoying a peaceful life. This kind of peace was a warm experience he had never had in his many years of wandering, and he didn't want to wake up for a long time...
Faced with this situation, the first person to react was the mysterious noble. "Don't be fooled! These are all false memories and desires!" He quickly mobilized his own spiritual power to resist external interference, and shouted in the consciousness space, trying to wake everyone up, "Focus! Follow my footsteps and break these false dreams!"
Hearing this, the other people gradually broke free from their beautiful illusions. Su Ye tightly grasped the sword and built a barrier in his mind to isolate the outside world: "The nobles are right! We need to return to reality as soon as possible!" As soon as the words fell, the surroundings began to vibrate and distort, and the originally beautiful scenery suddenly turned into a terrifying and hideous image.
On the other side, although Ariel is still struggling against the shadow monsters that keep attacking them in the phantom, he has regained his strong faith in his heart. "No matter how strong the enemy is, as long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome!"
As everyone's will gradually strengthened, the illusion surrounding everyone began to dissipate, revealing the real scene behind it - still the threatening cave environment. But at this time, the power contained in the Demon's Eye was significantly weakened.
After seeing everything return to normal, the noble hurried forward to check the black crystal that was still emitting a slight red glow: "The situation seems to be under temporary control, but this does not mean it is completely safe. We must find a way to completely seal it off as soon as possible."
Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, suddenly there was a dull and slow sound of footsteps from deep underground, accompanied by a tremor in the earth, and a tall and unclear figure slowly approached them...
"Everyone be careful! Something is approaching us!" Su Ye drew out his sword vigilantly, his eyes fixed on the darkness ahead.
Toby instantly put the bow in his hand on the string, "Damn...what is that thing?" He tried to sense the other party's presence through the arrow, but there seemed to be an invisible obstruction in the air, which greatly restricted his senses.
Matthew held his staff tightly, ready to cast a protective barrier at any time. "It seems we need to prepare for the worst. Everyone stay in formation and support each other."
As the footsteps got closer, the entire cave began to shake slightly, as if the ground was being shaken by some force. The noble stood in front of everyone, with a solemn look in his eyes. "Are you ready to fight? No matter what you face next, you must not retreat."
Before he finished speaking, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the darkness—it was a huge and deformed hand, as wide as half the cave, and then a huge monster gradually revealed its outline. (End of this chapter)
