Land of Light: The strongest support system, sweeping through nebulae.

"Look at me!"

Undeterred by the monsters, Yuta delivered a flying kick that sent one of them flying.

"Those who harmed my family deserve to die!"

Camilla's eyes shone with golden light, revealing her Valkyrie side.

"Hahaha, go forth, my monster army!"

The ancient monsters resurrected by Dark Ultraman launch an attack on Reges and his companions.

Reggies reminded everyone to pay attention to the pace and work together to deal with these formidable opponents.

The group used their individual strengths and worked together seamlessly to defeat the monsters one by one.

"Damn it, watch me summon the Crimson Lotus Mountain Monster, the Demon King's favorite!"

Dark Ultraman grinned maliciously, chanted an incantation, and the ground exploded instantly, revealing a huge, terrifying three-headed monster before everyone!

......... ....... 0

"This is your end!"

The Crimson Lotus Mountain Monster let out a deafening roar, and its three heads simultaneously spewed out streams of fire, an unstoppable force.

"It's too strong, how are we going to deal with it!"

Reges pondered for a moment, then looked at his companions with a determined gaze: "I have an idea. This monster is huge and not very agile. We can use that to our advantage."

"As long as it is not stable, it will create a flaw."

"I understand. We'll cooperate in carrying out Reggie's plan!"

So the group acted quickly. Yuta and Ria attacked from beneath its feet, making the Crimson Mountain Monster unsteady, while Camilla circled in the air, firing shots to further disrupt it.

With the combined attack of the group, the giant indeed lost its footing. At this moment, Reges suddenly rushed towards it and slammed a heavy punch into its head!

"It's over!"

The Red Lotus Mountain Monster let out a mournful cry, and its giant body crashed to the ground.

"Impossible! My monster army!"

Dark Ultraman couldn't believe his eyes.

"Loser, repent for what you've done!"

Reges's light terrifies all evil.

Dark Ultraman was unwilling, but he could only leave dejectedly.

“We want to establish a long-term research base to conduct comprehensive research on crystals,” Reges said.

"No problem, we can set up a simple campsite nearby."

"I'll be in charge of collecting food and fresh water."

"I will help organize the research materials."

So they chose to build a simple wooden cabin campsite in a forest clearing next to the temple and began a long-term investigation and research.

Chapter 196: A Worn-Out Notebook

They gathered at the campsite at night to study ancient books, exchange analyses, and try to unravel this mystery.

"I think I've seen the totem on this before in an ancient book."

"You're right, it should represent a shift in spacetime!"

Camilla suddenly realized.

"Hmm, so what does this set of symbols mean?"

Reggies pointed to another mural and fell into deep thought.

"Good idea, let's go and check it out in person."

The next day, the group went to explore a cave on the eastern mountain.

Deep inside the cave, they found a stone mural that was very similar to the murals in the labyrinth!

"It seems that this cave is also connected to the underground labyrinth in some way."

The group began to carefully compare the details of the two murals and finally discovered the connection—they depicted a mystery that transcends time and space!

"If we open the passage at a specific time, we can achieve spatial transformation and enter another dimension from '970'!"

With this important discovery, they have taken another step closer to understanding the mysteries of crystals.

However, more time is needed to completely unravel the mystery.

So the group continued to explore and study in the mountains and forests, day after day.

They discovered minerals with the same scent as crystals in the mining canyon, found inscriptions in an ancient language deep within ancient trees, and discovered unidentified devices in the ruins on the mountaintop...

Reges and his group have been exploring this magical valley for a long time, but the mystery of the crystal is still shrouded in mist.

"We have tried various methods, but we just can't completely break the seal on the crystal's power."

Camilla said somewhat dejectedly.

"It's okay, we shouldn't give up."

"Yes, there must be clues we haven't considered!"

"I believe the crystal will choose the right time to release its power."

Lia said.

So everyone regrouped and set off again, determined to thoroughly investigate every area of ​​the underground labyrinth and find the key to breaking the seal.

After careful investigation, Lia discovered a hidden chamber deep within the maze, containing a thick stone box.

What could it be?

The group carefully opened the stone box, and inside lay a tattered notebook.

"The owner of this notebook seems to be studying crystals as well!"

They eagerly flipped through the notes, which contained a great deal of important information.

"Based on the above, unlocking the seal requires the combined catalytic power of the four elemental crystals from the night of the lunar eclipse... We've found the right method!"

Reggie's eyes lit up.

"What? The night of a lunar eclipse?"

Yuta reacted a few seconds slowly: "But the next lunar eclipse is a long time away."

"Yes, it seems we can only continue to wait."

Leah was a little disappointed.

"But at least we've found a breakthrough, which is already very important."

However, just as the group was about to leave, Lia accidentally triggered a mechanism, and a hidden door suddenly opened!

"Huh, what's in here?"

The group cautiously entered and saw an old figure standing in the center of the room.

"Welcome, brave seekers of the truth. I am the ancient sage Knobius."

The figure spoke.

"Hello, we have come here to break the seal on the crystal stone."

Reggies answered politely.

“I knew you would come here. You are very close to the truth.”

"Prediction?"

"Let me tell you the secrets of crystals..."

The saint slowly floated into the air, projecting a huge three-dimensional star map.

"In the distant past, before volcanoes went out and icebergs melted..."

The saint began to tell a strange and ancient story—

It turns out that in Genesis, crystals descended upon the earth, witnessing the first budding civilization on Earth.

However, the two races later waged a million-year war over the crystal, nearly wiping out the entire civilization.

So the sage Knobius, unable to bear seeing the suffering of the people, resolved to seal the crystal.

The key to breaking the seal lies hidden within the moon's orbit...

"So that's how it is! The night of the lunar eclipse is the most crucial moment!"

Reggie suddenly realized.

"But there are still several years until the next lunar eclipse."

Yuta pouted.

"Haha, I knew you guys would say that."
