Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 983 Key

"It seems that getting the 'Key of Destiny' not only unlocked the chains, but also triggered some deeper mechanisms." Leo looked around vigilantly, holding the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with possible crises at any time.

At this moment, the voice of the Forgotten Shadow echoed again: "Remember, Messenger of Light, every use of power comes with a price. Although the 'Key of Destiny' is in hand, the task of maintaining balance has just begun."

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling light emerged from the key, swirling around the messenger of light, and then merged into their bodies. An unprecedented sense of power awakened in their bodies, as if even their souls were cleansed.

"I... felt it..." Lin Feng whispered, with an incredible light flashing in his eyes, "This power does not only belong to me personally, but is also connected to this world."

"We have become the bridge between Frozen Heart and the world." Alvin nodded, his hands emitting a warm glow that seemed to dispel all the coldness. "This power exists to protect peace."

Just as they were immersed in this newly awakened power, an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly enveloped their hearts. Deep in the heart of ice, some ancient and evil power was awakening, which was more powerful than the evil power they had encountered before.

"We must leave here immediately and return to the Guardian of the North." Leia said anxiously. Her intuition told her that time was running out.

On the way back, the environment of Frozen Heart became more unstable, the ice wall collapsed from time to time, and cracks spread like spider webs. They were almost racing against time, dodging the falling ice and sprinting towards the exit.

"Hold on, the light is just ahead!" Lin Feng encouraged loudly, his voice piercing through the noisy roar and bringing strength to his companions.

Finally, when they rushed out of the Ice Heart and returned to where the guardians were waiting, they were shocked by the scene before them. The guardians who had been waiting in full battle array were now engaged in a fierce battle with a group of distorted shadow creatures, apparently because the turbulence of the Ice Heart had attracted these creatures.

"Messenger of Light!" A seriously injured guardian saw them return, and a light of hope flashed in his eyes, "You came back just in time!"

"Prepare for battle!" Lin Feng gave the order, and the four quickly joined the battlefield. Their newfound strength made their fighting power soar. Leo's sword turned into a storm, and each strike could cut the shadow creatures in half; Leah's healing light fell like rain, bringing hope of life to the injured guardians; Alvin controlled the elemental fire to form a fire wall to block the enemy, and Lin Feng, holding the "Key of Destiny", led them. His power seemed to be able to sense and weaken the enemy's shadow power.

Passerby C was watching this scene and was amazed: "Is this the legendary messenger of light? Their power is so amazing, they are simply gods descended to earth!"

Passerby Ding followed closely behind, his face full of awe: "Yes, with them, we have hope. No matter how strong the darkness is, it can't stop the light from shining."

The battle lasted until late at night, and when the last shadow dissipated, the battlefield returned to peace. The Lightbringer and the Northern Guardian stood side by side, looking at the starry sky, knowing that this was just a short rest in a long journey.

Lin Feng turned to look at the oldest of the Northern Guardians and said in a heavy voice, "The road ahead will probably be even more difficult. The awakened power will be the real test."

The old guardian nodded, his eyes revealing determination: "But you have proven your strength and determination. As long as the messenger of light is here, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Amidst the devastation, the messengers of light looked at each other, with fatigue but also a spark of indomitable will in their eyes.

"What should we do first?" Leah asked, her voice tinged with anxiety but also determination.

"Looking for answers." Alvin's eyes penetrated the night, as if he was looking at the distant and unknown future. "We need to know more about the source of that power."

"Any clues?" Leo wiped the blood off the sword. Although he was exhausted, his words were still firm.

"The key of destiny." Lin Feng raised the glowing key. It swayed gently in the night breeze, as if whispering, "It led us here, and it will guide us forward."

"However, we cannot ignore the name mentioned by the shadow creature in the battle just now - 'Shadow Lord'." Leah reminded, with worry flashing in her eyes, "This name means destruction and chaos in ancient books."

Passerby Wu passed by and inadvertently heard their conversation. He couldn't help but stop and said in a low voice: "The Shadow Lord... that is a terrifying existence that only exists in legends. If it really revives, what kind of disaster will our world face?"

A passerby also came over, with a hint of barely perceptible fear and expectation: "Messenger of Light, can you stop this? You are our only hope."

Irwin looked at the two passers-by, his voice warm and powerful: "We will do our best, but the real strength comes from all those who believe in light. Please pass on hope and let more people turn to light."

The four continued to move forward, with an unquenchable flame burning in their hearts, vowing to protect this continent from the erosion of the shadow. On the way, they encountered various challenges and trials, and every victory won them the trust and respect of more people.

In a quiet village, they helped the local residents resist a sudden shadow invasion. Facing the villagers' gratitude, Leo smiled and said: "This is what we should do, to protect every corner from the threat of darkness."

Leia gently treated an injured child, who looked at her with admiration with his big eyes, and whispered, "When I grow up, I want to be a warrior like my sister."

"Everyone can be his own warrior, as long as he has light in his heart." Leah responded gently, her words warming people's hearts like a spring breeze.

As time went on, stories about the Light Messengers spread across the continent. People talked about their bravery and sacrifices, and the shadows of darkness no longer seemed so terrifying in these stories.

However, just when everything seemed to be on track, an uninvited guest appeared in front of them. He was a mysterious traveler in a cloak, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only his sharp eyes.

"Messenger of Light, I am here to tell you a piece of extremely important news." The traveler's voice was deep and magnetic. "The real purpose of the Shadow Lord is not just to rule this continent. His ambition is to overturn the balance of the universe and drag everything into eternal darkness."

The four of them looked solemn when they heard this. They realized that this battle was far beyond their previous assumptions. "How can we stop this?" Lin Feng's voice was firm, but there was also a hint of confusion that was not easily detected.

The mysterious traveler smiled slightly and took out a yellowed map from his cloak: "The ancient prophecy mentioned the 'Source of Light', which is the only force that can compete with the Shadow Lord. The map will lead you to find it, but the road is long and dangerous."

"We will not retreat." Alvin took the map, his fists clenched, his eyes burning with determination. "For this world, we will find the source of light and end it all."

The mysterious traveler nodded, then disappeared into the night, leaving the four to face the unknown journey and the upcoming challenges.

  "Let's go, friends." Lin Feng's words inspired everyone, "For light, for hope, we are fearless."
.

As the mysterious traveler disappeared, the air around them seemed to freeze for a moment, and then was broken by the four people's firm determination. The villagers surrounded them, their eyes full of hope and worry.

"Look, they are our guardian angels!" Passerby A whispered excitedly to others, with stars of admiration twinkling in his eyes.

"I really hope I can follow them and contribute to the light." Passerby B sighed softly, his tone revealing a hint of regret, but more of an endless yearning for the messenger of light.

Lin Feng looked into the distance, the mountains were majestic, and the stars were flowing quietly in the night sky, as if paving the way for their journey. "Every inch of land needs light. Our power is limited, but I hope we can light up every dark corner."

Alvin spread out the yellowed map, with ancient words and symbols interwoven on it, seemingly hiding the secret of traveling through time and space. "The map shows that the source of light is located in the deepest part of the Forgotten Land, which is full of unknowns and dangers. We must not only be quick, but also be cautious."

Leah patted the dust off her body, her eyes gentle but firm: "No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome. Moreover, there are so many people who believe in us now."

Leo sheathed his sword, and the scabbard made a steady sound as it returned to its place. "Then there's nothing more to say. Let's go! We don't have much time."

The four were ready to go, and the villagers lined up on both sides to see them off, offering their blessings and encouragement. The children waved their hands, their eyes shining with infinite admiration for the heroes.

"Come on, messenger of light! We will be waiting here for news of your triumphant return!" The village chief's voice echoed in the morning breeze, full of strength and trust.

Passing through dense forests and crossing steep mountains, the messengers of light constantly encountered areas plagued by shadows along the way. They not only used their power to dispel the darkness, but more importantly, they used their actions to inspire people's inner desire for light, awakening the light of hope in every corner.

Once, after rescuing a small town, a white-haired old man held Lin Feng's hand, his eyes slightly red: "I never thought that I could witness the return of light in my lifetime. You are not only warriors, but also redeemers."

"No, grandpa, everyone has the power to fight against darkness in their hearts, and you are one of them." Lin Feng answered sincerely, and his words made the old man smile for the first time in a long time.

The deeper they traveled, the more they could feel the invisible oppression of the Shadow Lord and the urgency of time. But at the same time, the support and encouragement along the way also moistened their hearts like sweet rain, giving them endless strength and faith.

Finally, on a stormy night, they stood on the cliff leading to the entrance to the Forgotten Land. Before them, a rift valley was like the mouth of a giant beast, breathing out an ominous breath, and the source of light was said to be hidden at the other end of the rift valley.

"What we are about to face may be the most difficult challenge in our lives." Alvin looked into the bottomless abyss, but there was only determination in his eyes.

"No matter what the road ahead holds, I will always be by your side." Leah's voice was soft yet firm, bringing great comfort to her companions.

"Then there is nothing to be afraid of." Leo grinned, and that calmness seemed to be able to crush any fear, "Let those shadows see the power of light."

"Together, until the end of the world." Lin Feng raised the key of destiny. The light on the key echoed the belief in their hearts, as if it was the most perfect declaration of the upcoming adventure.

The four looked at each other, no need to say anything, everything was said without words. They took a deep breath and set foot on the road to the unknown hand in hand, with countless eyes of high hopes behind them and a battle that would determine the fate of the world in front of them.

And deep in the forgotten land, the Shadow Lord was ready to make a move. His laughter echoed in the empty dungeon, cold and arrogant: "Messenger of light, tiny rebel, do you think you can touch my territory? This is the womb of darkness, and the light will only be swallowed up."

"We are here, Shadow Lord." Alvin's voice echoed in the cracks, reaching everyone no matter how far away they were. "Your doom is the rebirth of light."

As they went deeper, the darkness around them seemed to have substance, squeezing their every step forward. Suddenly, a strange light bloomed from the map in Alvin's hand, guiding them to avoid several deadly traps.

"It seems that this map is more than just a navigation tool." Lin Feng whispered, feeling awe for this ancient wisdom.

"Yes, it seems to have its own will and is helping us through this maze of death." Leah responded softly. Her fingertips touched the map and she felt an inexplicable warmth, as if it was also responding to her trust.

During this journey full of unknowns, they often encountered creatures controlled by the shadows. These former residents now only had endless loyalty and fear for the shadow lord. Whenever this happened, Leo was always the first to rush forward, his sword light piercing through the darkness like lightning, and every swing released the imprisoned souls.

"Look at these souls. They should have lived in the sun, but were twisted by the shadows." Leah treated a newly liberated child with a firm look in her eyes. "We must end this."

After countless days and nights of arduous journey, they finally reached the core of the Forgotten Land. It was a huge cave with a beam of light in the center. It was the source of light, pure and bright, in sharp contrast to the surrounding shadows.
