Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 268 268:

Outside the castle, the battle between Ling Xiao and his companions and members of the mysterious organization intensified.

Magical light intertwined and flickered, illuminating the entire valley, while shouts of battle and the deafening sounds of magical explosions filled the air.

David manipulated earth magic, plunging his hands into the ground and chanting incantations. In an instant, the earth trembled violently, and enormous stone spikes abruptly rose from the ground, like sharp swords, swiftly stabbing towards the members of the mysterious organization.

Dust billowed wherever the stone spikes went, and the members of the mysterious organization panicked, resorting to dark magic to defend themselves.

Some summoned black shields, while others used dark magic to shatter the stone spikes, but many were still unable to dodge in time and were struck by the spikes, letting out painful screams.

Ling Xiao stood in the center of the battlefield, like a general commanding thousands of troops. He waved his magic wand, alternating between fire and lightning magic.

The blazing flames, like surging waves, engulfed the members of the mysterious organization, leaving a sea of ​​fire in their wake; the thick lightning bolts, like silver dragons, roared and weaved through the enemy ranks, each strike accompanied by dazzling light and violent explosions, instantly engulfing the enemy.

Under Ling Xiao's powerful magic attacks, gaps appeared in the mysterious organization's defenses. However, the mysterious organization was not easily defeated.

They quickly adjusted their tactics, forming small magic circles led by several powerful mages. These magic circles worked together, continuously gathering dark magic power to create a formidable force.

Under the influence of the magic circle, the black mist thickened further, resembling clusters of black flames that surged back towards Ling Xiao and the others. Wherever the mist reached, the air seemed to freeze, and the ground was corroded into numerous black pits.

Alice nimbly traversed the skies above the battlefield using wind magic. She swung her hands, unleashing a barrage of wind blades like countless knives flying towards the members of the mysterious organization. The wind blades sliced ​​through the enemies' magical shields, sending sparks flying.

She keenly sensed the core location of the mysterious organization's magic circle, concentrated her magic power, and cast a powerful wind spell—Storm Vortex.

A massive tornado rapidly formed on the battlefield, its powerful winds sweeping up members of the mysterious organization along with surrounding rocks and trees. Inside the tornado, raging wind blades tore enemies to shreds.

The mysterious organization's magic array crumbled instantly under the impact of the storm's vortex, and its members scattered in all directions. At the same time, reinforcements from the magic kingdom arrived on the battlefield.

Dressed in matching magical robes, they stood in neat rows behind Ling Xiao and the others. The leading general raised his wand high and shouted, "For the peace of the Magic Kingdom, for the protection of this land, charge!"

The support troops shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the sky, before quickly joining the battle. They unleashed a variety of powerful spells, working closely with Ling Xiao's team to create a pincer movement against the mysterious organization.

The members of the mysterious organization were attacked from both sides and found themselves in a predicament, but they still put up a stubborn resistance, and the battle reached a stalemate. Inside the castle, after breaking through the barrier of dark magic, Alice rushed towards the basement without stopping.

She descended the narrow staircase, surrounded by a pungent odor and eerie blue light flickering on the walls.

Suddenly, a group of guards from a mysterious organization appeared ahead.

These guards were tall and wore black armor, holding weapons that emitted a ghostly glow.

Upon seeing Alice, they immediately roared and charged at her, brandishing their weapons.

Ellie showed no fear, and wind magic rapidly gathered around her. With a light leap, she levitated in the wind, avoiding the guards' attacks.

At the same time, she moved her hands rapidly, sending blades of wind flying towards the guards.

The wind blades struck the guard's armor with a crisp sound, but the armor seemed to possess powerful defensive magic, and the wind blades only left shallow marks on it.

Seeing this, the guards unleashed their dark magic. Black beams of magic shot from their hands, like black spears, piercing towards Alice.

Alice skillfully dodged the attacks while searching for weaknesses in the guards' defenses.

She discovered that while the guards' attacks were fierce, their coordination was poor.

So she concentrated her magic and cast a wind-based control spell—Wild Wind Dance.

Instantly, a powerful gust of wind swept through the narrow passage, causing the guards to stagger and fall to the ground, their weapons dropping one after another.

Alice seized the opportunity to rush forward, unleashing a powerful wind-based attack with her wand that knocked down all the guards. She continued towards the basement, finally reaching its entrance.

At the entrance, a massive magic crystal radiated intense dark magic, serving as the energy source for the castle's defenses. Rings of black mist surrounded the crystal, within which mysterious runes flickered, as if guarding it.

Alice took a deep breath, preparing to cast a spell to destroy the crystal. However, just as she was about to launch her attack, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

The man was tall and wore a long black robe. He wore a hideous mask that revealed only a pair of cold eyes. In his hand he held a magic wand, the tip of which was inlaid with a huge black gem, radiating a chilling aura.

"Little girl, how dare you try to sabotage our energy source? Do you think this place is so easy to break into?"

"It's a mysterious man," the mysterious man said coldly. Alice looked at the mysterious man warily. She could sense that he was emanating a powerful dark magic, and was definitely not an ordinary member of a mysterious organization.

"No matter who you are, I will not let your scheme succeed today."

"Iris said firmly," Alice replied. The mysterious figure let out a sinister laugh. "Then let's give it a try."

With that, he waved his wand, and the black mist instantly thickened, sweeping towards Alice. From within the mist, countless black tentacles emerged, like writhing pythons, reaching out to grab Alice.

Alice quickly cast a wind spell, creating a sturdy wind barrier to block the black tentacles' attack.

The tentacles slammed against the barrier with a dull thud, causing it to shake violently. Alice gritted her teeth, straining to maintain the barrier while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. She noticed that the mysterious figure's magical attacks were primarily concentrated at the front, leaving the sides relatively vulnerable.

So, she used wind magic to gently lift her body and fly towards the side of the mysterious man. Upon seeing this, the mysterious man immediately turned around, waved his wand, and a black beam of magic shot towards Alice.

Alice nimbly dodged the attacks in mid-air while unleashing wind blades that shot towards the mysterious man. The wind blades were significantly weakened by the interference of dark magic, but they still managed to cut several gashes in the mysterious man's robes.

Enraged, the mysterious man gripped his wand with both hands, chanting incantations. The black gem shone brightly, releasing a powerful surge of dark magic.

Dark magic spread rapidly in the basement, enveloping Alice within it.

Alice felt her body being bound by a powerful force, making it extremely difficult for her to move.

Just as Alice was in trouble, the battle outside the castle reached its climax. Ling Xiao and his companions engaged in a fierce fight with members of the mysterious organization, with both sides paying a heavy price.

Although Ling Xiao was powerful, he gradually felt overwhelmed by the relentless attacks from the mysterious organization.

David, Tom, and the support forces from the Magic Kingdom are also fighting hard, but the mysterious organization's counterattack is becoming increasingly fierce, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Ling Xiao's side.

However, they did not back down in the slightest, and had only one belief in their hearts—to stop the conspiracy of the mysterious organization and protect the peace of the magical world.

Their figures moved swiftly across the battlefield, magical light flashing in the darkness, as if declaring their unwavering determination to the mysterious organization.

Meanwhile, Alice's battle with the mysterious man in the basement has reached a critical moment. Whether she can break through the predicament and destroy the energy source has become the key to the outcome of this battle.

Inside the castle, Alice was trapped in the dark magic released by the mysterious man, unable to move. Every struggle was like trying to move in a thick swamp.

The mysterious man wore a smug smile, his laughter echoing in the basement, making it all the more sinister and terrifying.

"Little girl, you have no chance of escape under my dark magic. No one can destroy the energy source of this castle; the demon god's resurgence is imminent!"

Alice bit her lower lip tightly, sweat trickling down her cheeks, but her eyes remained resolute.

She knew the weight of her responsibility and knew she couldn't give up now. Wind magic surged wildly within her, trying to break free from the shackles of dark magic.

She focused her mind, recalling her insights from previous wind magic spells, and tried to find a way to break through the predicament.

At this critical moment, a flash of inspiration struck Alice. She remembered seeing a record in an ancient magic book about the struggle between wind magic and dark magic.

Wind inherently possesses the power to dispel and purify. If the essence of wind magic can be brought to its fullest potential, it might be possible to break free from this dark confinement.

Alice took a deep breath, cleared her mind of all distractions, and gathered all her magic power in her palm.

She chanted incantations, and wind magic elements swirled wildly around her, forming a small storm vortex. Though small, this vortex contained immense energy, counteracting the surrounding dark magic.

As Alice continued to pour her magic into the storm, the vortex gradually expanded, and the restraints of the dark magic began to loosen.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious man's expression changed slightly. He increased his magical output, and the black mist surged even more fiercely towards Alice, attempting to trap her once again.

Alice remained unmoved, pushing her wind magic to its limit.

The storm vortex, like a sharp blade, cut through the dark magic, and the black mist was gradually dissipated.

Alice seized the opportunity to leap forward, breaking free from the shackles of the dark magic, and rushed towards the mysterious man.

Her wand gleamed, and a barrage of wind blades shot towards the mysterious man like a sudden storm.

The mysterious man swiftly waved his wand, summoning a black shield that blocked the wind blades' attack.

The wind blades struck the shield with a crisp sound, sending sparks flying. A flash of annoyance crossed the mysterious man's eyes; he waved his wand, and the black gem shone brightly once more.

Dark magic coalesced into a gigantic black hand, which slammed towards Alice.

Alice skillfully dodged the attacks while using wind magic to make her body light and constantly change position in the air, causing the mysterious man's attacks to miss repeatedly.

She seized the opportunity and cast a wind-based control spell—the howling wind.

Instantly, a fierce wind arose in the basement, whipping up sand and stones. The mysterious man lost his footing in the gale, his body swaying.

Alice seized the opportunity to launch an attack, combining wind magic with her own magical power to create a powerful impact that lunged at the mysterious man.

Although the mysterious man was somewhat disheveled in the gale, he was still very powerful. He quickly adjusted his state, waved his wand, and released a powerful beam of dark magic that collided head-on with Alice's impact.

A burst of magical light erupted, and the immense energy surge caused the basement to shake violently, sending stones crashing down the walls. In the fierce exchange, Alice gradually discovered that while the mysterious man's magic was powerful, it possessed a fatal weakness.

The mysterious man's magical attacks required a certain amount of preparation time; his defenses would be relatively weak during that brief moment. Alice secretly plotted, deciding to exploit this weakness to deliver a fatal blow to the mysterious man.

Meanwhile, the battle outside the castle had reached its climax. Ling Xiao and his companions engaged in a fierce fight with the members of the mysterious organization, with both sides paying a heavy price.

Although Ling Xiao was powerful, the mysterious organization kept sending magicians to join the battle, and he gradually felt overwhelmed.

David manipulated earth magic to continuously build earthen walls to defend against enemy attacks, while simultaneously summoning stone spikes to retaliate. However, the mysterious organization's dark magic offensive was too fierce, and the earthen walls were constantly being destroyed.

Tom was casting all his healing magic from the rear to support his injured teammates, but as more and more people were injured, his magic power was being rapidly depleted.

Despite the valiant efforts of the Magic Kingdom's support forces, the mysterious organization maintained a slight advantage thanks to the castle's defensive strength and their meticulously arranged magic arrays.

The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Lingxiao's side, but they did not back down in the slightest. They had only one belief in their hearts—to stop the conspiracy of the mysterious organization and protect the peace of the magic world.

Ling Xiao brandished his magic wand, flames and lightning intertwining as he repelled the enemies who charged at him time and time again.

His face was covered in sweat and dust, and his clothes were torn by magical attacks, but his eyes were unwavering.

He knew that the outcome of this battle was related to the fate of the entire magical world, and no matter the cost, the mysterious organization could not be allowed to succeed.

David gritted his teeth, plunged his hands into the ground, and earth magic surged forth continuously. Ignoring the enemy's dark magic attacks, he struggled to maintain his defense and counterattack.
