The Dark Queen smiled slightly and waved her hand to summon a group of dark creatures, which rushed towards Su Zhe and others like a tide. Avril and Alia quickly rushed forward, and with the flash of swords, they repelled several dark creatures. Novel's fire magic worked again, burning the enemy to ashes.

However, the number of dark creatures was too large, and Su Zhe and his companions gradually fell into trouble. At this moment, a silver light suddenly fell from the sky, and a woman in a white dress walked out of the light. Her beauty was amazing, and her eyes were full of tenderness and strength.

"I am Lillian, the messenger of the Goddess of Light." The woman smiled slightly, her voice like heavenly music, "I am here to lend you a helping hand."

As Lillian waved her hand, a silver light dispersed the dark creatures. Su Zhe and the others were able to catch their breath and reorganize their attack. Lillian's joining greatly increased their strength, and they quickly repelled the dark creatures and approached the Dark Queen.

A hint of surprise flashed across the Dark Queen's eyes, but she did not retreat. She swung her sword and engaged in a fierce battle with Su Zhe. The sword flashed and shone brightly, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Su Zhe's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and each of his swords carried the cold power of the Tears of Frost, but the Dark Queen's swordsmanship was equally superb, and it was difficult to tell who would win for a while. Alia, Avril, and Novel also joined the battle, and they cooperated tacitly, gradually suppressing the Dark Queen.

However, the Dark Queen did not give up easily. Her sword skills became more and more fierce. Under her control, the black light attacked the four people like a sharp blade. Su Zhe, Alia, Avril and Novel gritted their teeth and struggled to resist the Dark Queen's attack.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Su Zhe finally found a flaw. He quickly swung his sword, and a flash of cold light flashed, knocking the Dark Queen's sword away. The Dark Queen was slightly stunned, and then she smiled: "You have passed my test."

The Dark Queen put away her sword, walked to the center of the altar, and gently pressed a mechanism. The altar suddenly shone with light, and a powerful force filled the air.

Su Zhe nodded, clenched the holy weapon in his hand, and said firmly: "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, we will overcome them one by one. Because we are brave and the symbol of hope."

They continued to move forward and finally came to a huge door. The door was engraved with ancient runes and emitted a mysterious light. Su Zhe took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Behind the door was a vast space, with a towering altar in the center, and on the altar was a gem shining with golden light. Su Zhe knew that this was their ultimate goal.

"We're here." Su Zhe said, his eyes full of determination.

Su Zhe held the holy weapon tightly in his hand and looked firmly at the golden orb on the altar. However, just as he was about to step forward, Novel suddenly sneezed, and the fire magic accidentally sprayed onto the ground, almost igniting Avril's skirt.

"Novel, be careful!" Avril screamed and jumped to the side, slapping the sparks on her skirt.

Norville scratched his head awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Avril, I just have a cold."

Su Zhe shook his head helplessly: "Everyone be careful, there may be traps here."

At this moment, Alia suddenly noticed that the runes on the ground flashed. She frowned and said, "Be careful, there may be a trap ahead."

Su Zhe nodded and looked at the ground carefully. He took a step carefully, and sure enough, a floor tile suddenly sank, and then a rain of arrows flew out from the walls on both sides. Su Zhe quickly swung his sword and blocked all the arrows.

"It seems we have to be more careful." Su Zhe said.

Alia nodded in agreement: "We have to think of a way. We can't take such risks again."

"I have an idea." Novel suddenly said, "We can use magic to create a protective shield to avoid triggering the mechanism."

Su Zhe thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Good idea, Novel. Let's cast a spell together."

The four of them worked together to cast magic, and a transparent protective shield enveloped them. They continued to move forward, and sure enough, the protective shield successfully blocked several attacks from the mechanism.

Finally, they arrived in front of the altar. Su Zhe took a deep breath and reached out to take the orb that shone with golden light. However, just as his fingers were about to touch the orb, it suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a small black cat, which blinked its big eyes and yawned lazily.

"What?" Su Zhe widened his eyes, unable to believe his eyes.

The black cat raised his head and said lazily, "The orb you are looking for is here with me."

"Who are you?" Avril asked warily.

The black cat licked its paw and said gracefully, "I am the guardian of this altar, my name is Mia. You have passed all the tests, but you still need to pass the last test to get the orb."

"What test?" Su Zhe asked.

Mia jumped onto the altar and flicked her tail. Several rays of light shot out from the tip of her tail, forming a huge magic circle.

"You need to find the real orb in this magic circle." Mia said, "But be careful, there are many fake orbs here, they will make you lose your way."

Su Zhe nodded and led his teammates into the magic circle. The circle was full of golden orbs. Su Zhe frowned and thought: "We have to think of a way. We can't just take these orbs blindly."

Alia suddenly had an idea and said, "Let me try to use magic to sense the authenticity."

She closed her eyes, put her hands together, and began to chant a spell. After a while, she opened her eyes, pointed to a pearl and said, "That pearl is real!"

Su Zhe walked over carefully and reached out to take the orb. However, just as his fingers were about to touch the orb, it suddenly turned into a small black cat, blinking its big eyes and yawning lazily.

"What?" Su Zhe widened his eyes, unable to believe his eyes.

The black cat raised his head and said lazily, "The orb you are looking for is here with me."

"Who are you?" Avril asked warily.

The black cat licked its paw and said gracefully, "I am the guardian of this altar, my name is Mia. You have passed all the tests, but you still need to pass the last test to get the orb."

"What test?" Su Zhe asked.

Mia jumped onto the altar and flicked her tail. Several rays of light shot out from the tip of her tail, forming a huge magic circle. "You need to find the real orb in this magic circle." Mia said, "But be careful, there are many fake orbs here, and they will make you lose your way."

Su Zhe nodded and led his teammates into the magic circle. The circle was full of golden orbs. Su Zhe frowned and thought: "We have to think of a way. We can't just take these orbs blindly."

Alia suddenly had an idea and said, "Let me try to use magic to sense the authenticity."

She closed her eyes, put her hands together, and began to chant a spell. After a while, she opened her eyes, pointed to a pearl and said, "That pearl is real!"

Su Zhe walked over carefully and reached out to take the orb. However, just as his fingers were about to touch the orb, it suddenly turned into a small black cat, blinking its big eyes and yawning lazily.

"What?" Su Zhe widened his eyes, unable to believe his eyes.

Alia suddenly had an idea and said, "Let me try to use magic to sense the authenticity."

She closed her eyes, put her hands together, and began to chant a spell. After a while, she opened her eyes, pointed to a pearl and said, "That pearl is real!"

Su Zhe followed Alia's instructions closely. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still mustered up his courage and approached the orb that was believed to be real. The air around him seemed to freeze, and every second stretched into eternity. Everyone in the team held their breath, fearing that this time it would be in vain again.

"It should be correct this time, right?" Novel muttered in a low voice, rubbing his hands nervously, but his eyes never left Su Zhe's movements.

Avril stood aside, praying softly, her delicate face full of worry and expectation, her lips slightly parted: "I hope Alia's feeling is right."

Just as Su Zhe's fingers were about to touch the orb, the passers-by around, those phantoms who were trapped in the illusion and silently observing this scene, began to whisper.

"Will it work this time? I can't count how many times I've tried this." A middle-aged man with a beard said to his erratic companion, his eyes full of surprise and expectation.

"This team of people is really interesting. That girl can always point out one so confidently. I wonder where she gets this ability from." Off to the side, a woman in a gorgeous long dress gently waved a folding fan and chatted with her friends.

"Look! Their expressions, it seems that every failure has not weakened their confidence. It's really enviable." A phantom that looks like a young soldier looked at Su Zhe and his group with admiration and sighed in a low voice.

Su Zhe's fingers finally touched the orb, but this time, the orb did not change, but instead emitted a more dazzling light. The entire space was shaken, and all the fake orbs instantly lost their luster and turned into dots of fluorescence that dissipated in the air.

"Found it! We found the real orb!" Su Zhe shouted excitedly. The holy weapon in his hand resonated with the orb, making a pleasant buzzing sound.

Mia, the mysterious black cat, also showed a satisfied smile at this moment: "Congratulations, you have passed the final test. This orb contains great power, enough to help you realize a wish."

Alia, Avril and Novel gathered around, and the four of them smiled at each other. After going through so many difficulties, the joy at this moment was indescribable.

"What wish shall we make?" Novel asked expectantly, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Su Zhe pondered for a moment, looking at the phantom faces around him that were either curious or envious. "We are on this journey because we want to save our world from the erosion of darkness. I hope that the power of this orb will enable us to fight against the forces of darkness and restore world peace."

As soon as the words fell, the orb's light suddenly grew brighter, and a warm and powerful energy overflowed from the orb, surrounding the entire team. There were bursts of exclamations from the phantom passers-by, some were moved to tears, and others were so excited that they hugged each other.

"Is this the power of hope? It's so spectacular!" exclaimed an old man's phantom, his eyes red.

"They did it! True heroes!" a young mother phantom whispered to her child, with a gleam of hope in her eyes.

When the light faded, Su Zhe and the other three had a stronger faith and stronger strength. They knew that although the road ahead was still long and difficult, nothing could stop them.

"Friends, are you ready? Let us work together to bring light and peace to our world!" Su Zhe raised the orb in his hand and issued a final call to his teammates.

"We are ready!" the three said in unison, their faces filled with determination and indomitable spirit.

At this moment, a strange wind blew, and the phantom passers-by that originally surrounded them began to gradually become transparent until they disappeared completely, as if their existence was only to witness the miracle of this moment.

"They disappeared..." Avril murmured to herself, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Perhaps, when we passed the test, we also released their imprisoned souls." Novel speculated thoughtfully, his eyes deep.

"No matter what, we still have a more important mission to accomplish." Su Zhe held the orb tightly, his eyes flashing with determination, "Now, we must return to our world as soon as possible and use the power of this orb to resist the coming darkness."

"But how do we get back?" Alia asked the key question. Looking around, they seemed to be isolated in this space by an invisible force.

At this moment, the black cat Mia jumped lightly and landed on Su Zhe's shoulder. She looked into the distance with her mysterious eyes and said softly: "Follow me, I will guide you to cross the boundary between the two worlds." (End of this chapter)
