Chapter 696 Allies
With the help of unexpected allies, the situation takes a sharp turn. They must not only protect the crystal ball, but also uncover the truth behind the conspiracy and stop the dark ambitions.

"Guardian of the Neutral Land?" Li frowned slightly, with doubt and curiosity intertwined, "How do you know our purpose?"

"Nothing in the world can escape the eyes of the observer." The guardian smiled faintly, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, "I have detected the dark forces' restlessness, and I also know the key to this relic. Only you have the power to guide light to fight against darkness."

"So, how do you plan to help us?" Su Ye asked. Although he had doubts in his heart, he could feel the other party's sincerity.

"First, we need to get rid of these troublesome shadow servants." The guardian spoke calmly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and instantly appeared behind a black-robed man. With just a light blow, the black-robed man fell silently. His movements were so fast that even the shadow could not keep up with his pace.

Seeing this, Li and Su Ye couldn't help but smile at each other. They knew that they were no longer fighting alone in this battle.

"Awesome." Allen praised and quickly adjusted the device. A new tactical layout immediately appeared on the screen to coordinate the actions of this new ally. "With your joining, our chances of winning are greatly increased."

"Now, let's focus on that powerful opponent." The guardian pointed to the figure surrounded by dark energy. "He is the real core of this attack. We must defeat him quickly."

The three plus a mysterious guardian once again joined the battle. This time, their attacks were more coordinated and fierce, and every attack weakened the power of the dark side.

"Impossible! We are the elite of the shadows, how could we be defeated by a mob like you!" The powerful black shadow roared angrily, and the dark energy was like an out-of-control torrent, trying to swallow up all the light.

"Your failure is due to your neglect of the power of light." A sneer appeared on Li's lips. She and Su Ye stood back to back. The surrounding natural elements and the power of light formed an indestructible barrier.

"It's time to put an end to this." Su Ye raised the Sword of Light, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the black shadow. The sword body emitted a dazzling light, as if it was the incarnation of the sun.

"Wait a moment." The guardian suddenly spoke, raising his hand to signal everyone to stop the attack. "Our real goal is not to destroy these servants, but to stop their master. Let me try to communicate with him, maybe I can get more information about the conspiracy from him."

Su Ye and Li hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to trust this mysterious guardian. They withdrew their attacking posture and watched the next development nervously.

"A wise choice." The guardian walked steadily towards the shadow, his voice carrying a convincing calmness. "Who is your master? Why did you start such a war?"

The black shadow was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Do you think I would betray my master? Dream on!"

The guardian shook his head and sighed softly: "Blind loyalty to the wrong cause will only bring destruction. But if you change your mind, we are willing to give you a chance to reform."

At this moment, bursts of applause suddenly rang out from the surroundings, and a deep and magnetic voice echoed in the secret room: "Oh, this is really interesting. I didn't expect that my servant would be persuaded to betray."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a gorgeous robe slowly walking out. His face was hidden by the brim of his hat, revealing only a playful smile.

"Are you the mastermind behind all this?" Li's tone was filled with obvious anger.

The man smiled contemptuously: "Yes, I am what you call the 'Lord of Shadow'. However, don't think that having an extra helper can change anything. The balance of this universe will eventually tilt towards darkness."

"Then let's see who will have the last laugh, light or darkness." Su Ye gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes flashing with an unyielding light.

"It seems that this battle has just begun." The guardian whispered, looking firmly at the challenge ahead.

In this chaos and confrontation, the battle between light and darkness continues, and that unresolved conversation leaves a deep suspense for the following story:

"If light can really defeat darkness, how will you prove it?" The Lord of Shadows raised the corner of his mouth, the provocation was self-evident.

"Light needs no proof, because it exists in every heart that yearns for truth and justice." Su Ye responded, the tip of his sword trembling slightly, as if even the light particles in the air resonated with it.

"What a touching declaration," the Lord of Shadow sneered, "Then let me see if light can still maintain its purity and power when facing absolute darkness."

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the secret room, mixed with panicked shouts: "Oh no, other forces of the dark forces are attacking the town!"

Hearing this, Li's brows flashed with worry: "We must end this as soon as possible, otherwise the town will be devastated."

The guardian's deep eyes swept back and forth between the Shadow Lord and the three people, and then suggested: "We should split up. Two of you and I will stay here to deal with it, and the other one will go to support the town and delay time."

"I'm fast, I'm going to the small town." Alan made the decision immediately. He quickly adjusted his equipment and prepared to leave.

"Be careful." Su Ye and Li warned at the same time, with concern and trust in their eyes.

Alan nodded without saying anything extra. He turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the secret passage in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint electronic afterimage.

The rest of the people refocused their attention on the Shadow Lord in front of them, and the atmosphere became tense again. The Guardian took a step forward and said slowly: "Now, let's end this farce. You still have one last chance to let it go, otherwise-"

"What else?" The Shadow Lord interrupted him, his tone full of disdain, "Do you think that you few can reverse this predetermined fate?"

"Destiny is always written by the strong." Li's tone was calm but firm. The natural forces around her were stirring, as if the entire underground secret room began to respond to her call.

Just as a new round of conflict was about to break out between the two sides, the ground suddenly shook, and a huge rock fell from the ceiling, hitting the connecting passage between the ancient well and the secret room, completely blocking the way out. "It seems that our 'guest' doesn't want anyone to leave." The guardian looked solemn, and he realized that the situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"The game has been upgraded, Lord of Shadow." Su Ye sneered, and the Sword of Light spun in his hand, emitting an even brighter light. "No matter what your goal is, today, this is your destination."

The Shadow Lord raised a strange smile and said, "As you wish, but remember my words, true darkness will never be easily dispelled."

As he finished speaking, the surrounding shadows suddenly came to life, expanding and twisting as if they had life. The entire space was shrouded in thick darkness, and a battle was about to break out.

"Even in the deepest darkness, there is always light that can penetrate." Li and Su Ye stood back to back. There was no fear in their eyes, only determination and indomitable spirit.

The guardian deployed a complex formation, trying to stabilize the fluctuating space and protect the crystal ball from being disturbed. He whispered, "Get ready. The decisive battle between light and darkness is about to begin here."

Behind this life-and-death struggle, the fate of the town, the balance of the world, and even the nature of light and darkness are quietly drawn into an unprecedented vortex. Fighting, sacrifice, faith and betrayal, all the elements are intertwined, weaving a legend about courage, wisdom and love.

"Remember," the Guardian said in a low voice that penetrated the clamor during the fierce battle, "Light and darkness are never simple opposites. They are the eternal dance in the universe, restricting each other and complementing each other. Today, we will prove that the power of light is enough to illuminate every corner, including the shadow in your heart."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense!" The Lord of Shadows roared, and with a wave of his hand, the dark energy around him gathered into several black chains, which suddenly attacked the three people. The air was filled with a depressing atmosphere, as if even breathing became difficult.

"Get out of the way!" Su Ye shouted, and the tip of his sword created bright ripples, easily cutting off the oncoming chains. Li waved her fingers gently, and the power of nature wove a green shield, bouncing back more attacks. Every crisp collision was a counterattack against the power of the shadows.

"It looks like we have to make a quick decision." The guardian reminded in a deep voice while controlling the complex formation. A faintly glowing barrier formed around his body, and any shadow energy that touched the barrier would dissipate, as if he himself was a boundary between light and darkness.

"The safety of this town depends on us." Li clenched her teeth. Her voice was small but full of determination.

"We will be fine, Li. Because we are messengers of light." Su Ye's words were filled with firm belief. The Sword of Light in his hand seemed to have its own will, and the light became brighter and brighter.

Just as the battle was getting intense, a sudden light lit up from a corner of the secret room. It was a symbol that had not been noticed before. It began to slowly rotate and release a warm and strong light, illuminating the entire space. This sudden change made the Lord of Shadows pause, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.

"Is this... the source of light?" The guardian looked at the source of the light with a look of disbelief in his eyes, "The legendary artifact is actually hidden here."

"No, this is impossible!" For the first time, panic appeared in the Shadow Lord's voice. He seemed to feel an unprecedented threat.

"Nothing is impossible as long as we believe in light." Li said softly, and more light bloomed from her fingertips. The power of nature resonated with the source of light and its power doubled.

"Now, it's time to end it." Su Ye strode forward, the Sword of Light pointing directly at the Lord of Shadow. The light on the tip of the sword gathered into a sharp ray of light, as if it could penetrate all the darkness.

"Do you think you can win like this? Stupid!" The Lord of Shadows roared, his body wrapped in layers of thick shadows, ready for a final fight.

"Perhaps, we cannot completely defeat the darkness with strength alone." The guardian said solemnly, his hands drew a circle in the air, and the light and dark energy around him began to balance delicately, "But we have faith, hope, and each other."

"Yes, no matter how powerful the darkness is, it cannot swallow all the light." Li's voice was filled with firm belief, and the natural forces around her seemed to be encouraged and their vitality became stronger.

At this moment, the light of the source of light reached its peak, and the entire secret room was covered with a brilliant light. The figure of the Lord of Shadows struggled in the strong light, and his power seemed to be being drained away bit by bit, and the once invincible shadow power gradually weakened.

“This… how is it possible…” The voice of the Lord of Darkness became weaker and weaker, and his figure began to fade gradually until it completely disappeared in the light.

The battle between light and darkness ended with the victory of light. But this victory was not simply a result of overwhelming power, but came from the deep belief in and unremitting pursuit of light.

Just as the three were immersed in the joy of victory, a gentle voice sounded in their ears. It was a whisper from the source of light: "The real test has just begun. The world outside needs your light."

The secret room returned to peace, with only the light from the source of light still warm and lasting. They looked at each other and read the same answer from each other's eyes: no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would walk hand in hand and become the guardians of light in this world.

"Then let's go." Su Ye clenched the Sword of Light in his hand, his words full of expectations for the future.

Li and the guardian nodded, and the three of them stepped out of the secret room together, heading towards the unknown challenge. At this moment redefined by light, the crisis of the town, the balance of the world, and even the future of all living things will change because of their actions.

"Wait a moment, friends." The guardian suddenly stopped, his eyes penetrating the stone wall of the secret room, as if he had sensed something, "There is one more thing we must do immediately."

"What is it?" Li asked vigilantly. Her intuition told her that what was going to happen next was definitely not ordinary.

"The sudden light just now not only purified the Lord of Shadows, but also triggered some kind of ancient seal. If I'm not mistaken, it seals an even more ancient and powerful existence." The guardian's tone was unusually serious.

Su Ye frowned: "A more powerful existence? Is there an enemy more difficult to deal with than the Lord of Shadow?"

"That's right. According to the ancient prophecy, after the ultimate battle between light and darkness, the sealed 'Void Walker' will try to break free from its restraints in an attempt to disrupt the balance of the universe." The guardian's explanation made Li and Su Ye's hearts sink.

"Then what should we do?" Li asked. She was ready to fight again.
