The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Ryan quickly picked up Rose: "What just happened?"

Why are you here?

Rose opened her eyes weakly, her voice feeble: "I...don't know."

"Suddenly, my mind became foggy, and when I came to my senses, I was lying here."

The black particles swirled and coalesced around, eventually scattering in all directions!

In the next instant, the entire village underwent a tremendous change!

Those black particles floated along the ground, and then one by one, things with human-like outlines, whose life was unknown, rose up from the ground!

Finally, it blended in with the black particles!

From the intangible to the tangible, they eventually solidified into black shadows!

Chapter 223 Let Imagination Take Flight

Clearly, what they were seeing was beyond Ryan and Orina's comprehension.

What exactly are these dark figures?

Is it a living person, a summoned creature, or some kind of alien being with crimson eyes?

unknown.

However, one thing Ryan was certain of was that these shadowy figures harbored extremely strong malice towards the creatures around them.

An overwhelming killing intent converged from all directions, almost causing the weakened Rose to lose consciousness instantly!

Orina was the first to make a move!

Under her magical influence, the round-headed cane transformed into a two-meter-tall scepter.

Then, the scepter fell heavily to the ground!

A colossal magic circle appeared overhead, followed by a shower of light raining down from the sky!

These rains of light contained extremely pure light-attribute magic, bombarding the shadows and the ground, causing continuous explosions!

Even the guards on the outskirts noticed the commotion in the village.

They immediately realized that something must have happened to those three people.

But......

They were just ordinary guards and dared not enter that forbidden zone for living beings.

The rain of light lasted for more than ten minutes, only stopping after the entire village was reduced to ruins.

Orina adjusted her breathing and the magic within her body, gathering strength for her next spell.

Ryan, meanwhile, kept a watchful eye on his surroundings.

I thought this attack would at least clear out half of the shadows.

However, after the rain of light, those shattered shadows were reassembled once again under the pull of some force!

Surprisingly... not a single one was killed.

how can that be possible!

Ryan drew his broadsword, stomped the ground, and charged forward, his body engulfed in raging flames.

Light rain has no effect on these shadows, so let's try fire and physical slashes!

Ryan moved through the shadows at incredible speed, while the shadows stood still, letting the greatsword slice him in two.

The broadsword, radiating a powerful aura, swept away the surrounding shadows as easily as cutting grass.

But......

Even though the greatsword had clearly cut the shadow in half, there was no feedback whatsoever; it felt like I was cutting through thin air.

This caused a strong sense of unease to rise in Ryan's heart.

After about ten minutes, the surrounding shadows were mostly cleared away.

Ryan regulated his breathing and wiped the sweat from his face.

But within seconds, these shattered shadows reassembled from the ground, just like before.

Ryan and Orina both came to the same conclusion.

These shadows cannot be killed by existing methods!

Two consecutive failed attacks undoubtedly dealt a blow to Ryan and his team's morale.

After its second coalescing, the shadowy figure finally unleashed its full malice, launching an attack on Ryan and his two companions.

Tsk!

Ryan clicked his tongue, about to plunge his broadsword into the ground and unleash a massive destructive spell.

But just then, a voice in his mind called out to him.

Hey, you idiot.

That wouldn't work on these things.

It is Huiyan's consciousness.

"What, you have a way to solve these things?"

Huiyan's tone was very pleasant, like a child who had discovered a new toy.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that only I can handle them.

Lend me your magic, and I'll take care of everything.

As the dark shadows drew ever closer, Ryan made his decision after only a moment's thought.

During these three months, he would communicate with the consciousness of Radiant Flame whenever he had time. Over time, a very solid friendship was built between Ryan and the consciousness of Radiant Flame.

The only thing that made Ryan unhappy was that, as he became more and more familiar with Huiyan's consciousness, the guy started calling him an idiot.

However, now is not the time to dwell on such trivial matters.

The surging magical power of Radiant Flame, flowing rapidly according to the will of Radiant Flame, continuously overflowed from his fingertips and condensed before Ryan. Soon, all the magical power within Ryan's body overflowed, condensing into a round fireball.

The fireball had no facial features, but the flickering flames on it still revealed Huiyan's feelings.

She feels very comfortable now.

During her travels, Orina had seen Radiant Flame, so she was quite familiar with this constantly bouncing fireball and wasn't too surprised.

But......

What happened next left everyone speechless and in disbelief!

Because the Radiant Flame Consciousness had stayed in Ryan's body for a long time, it learned many principles of magic release from Ryan.

Moreover, like a newborn, Huiyan's consciousness, brimming with a strong thirst for knowledge, is also in the stage of learning and imitation.

And the one who imitated it the most was naturally Ryan.

However, she is still a ball, so she can't move around as freely as Ryan, nor can she use magic circuits to release magic.

This made her somewhat unhappy.

This posture feels a bit restrictive.

Perhaps...

In the next instant, the high temperature and fire serpents overflowing from the Radiant Fireball began to rapidly converge towards the center.

It was so fast that it even created gusts of wind!

The shadowy figures noticed the changes inside the Radiant Fireball and stopped, not daring to approach.

It was the fear of being stared at by a natural enemy.

Once all the heat and fire serpents had condensed, the Radiant Fireball became unusually quiet.

The world around us seemed to be on pause.

thump!

thump!

The heartbeat could be heard emanating from within the blazing fireball!

With each jump, an extremely powerful impact spreads outwards!

The pebbles on the ground trembled incessantly, and the surrounding air seemed to shudder violently.

Everything foreshadows something that is about to happen.

Ryan and Orina stared intently at the fireball, afraid that they might miss the most crucial moment if they weren't careful!

Click...

The blazing fireball cracked...

Then, an arm formed from condensed radiant flames stretched out from within!

"sword!"

A slightly immature girl's voice came from inside.

No warning!

Ryan's broadsword flew out of his hand and landed with perfect accuracy in Huiyan's hand!

Then, the fireball burst open!

A heatwave, hot enough to ignite the air, spread outwards!

The surrounding shadows were all dispersed by this domineering aura!

When the heatwave subsided and the dust settled, a beautiful young girl, her entire body ablaze with flames, even her hair burning, stood in the center.

In his hand, he held a broadsword that had transformed into radiant flames.

Around her, seven blazing fireballs swirled continuously.
