Chapter 286 Wishful Thinking
The Dark Lord's voice was like a whisper from hell. As space twisted, a suffocating feeling of oppression swept over.
The surrounding scenery was deformed like a melting wax figure. The colors became weird and distorted, as if they were going to swallow everyone up.
The Messenger of Light held Zhang Cheng's hand tightly, her knuckles turning white, and she could feel her heartbeat beating like a drum.
"Damn it, the space is getting more and more distorted!" The interstellar knight groaned and staggered back a step. The wounds on his body hurt slightly in the distorted space, making it difficult for him to keep his balance.
A skinny man, the Dark Lord's confidant, glanced at the Star Knight with contempt and laughed sharply: "Just relying on your defeated troops, you think you can fight against the Lord's power? It's simply wishful thinking!"
The Protoss flickered with a faint light, and seemed to be affected by the space distortion.
"His power is stronger than expected. I can't fully analyze the structure of his spells." There was a rare solemnity in its emotionless voice.
The gray-bearded old man sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "I have said it before, the power of the Dark Lord should not be underestimated. You underestimated the enemy too much." He looked at Zhang Cheng with a hint of blame in his eyes.
Kelinda looked at Zhang Cheng worriedly and said softly, "Zhang Cheng, what should we do?" Her voice seemed a little erratic in the distorted space, as if it would be swallowed up at any time.
Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.
He looked around, the distorted space, the injured companions, the mocking enemies, and the increasingly powerful dark lord, all of which made him feel extremely pressured.
But he knew that he could not fall down. He was the core of the team and he had to lead everyone to find a way out.
At this moment, the Nebula Sage suddenly spoke: "Wait! I seem... to see a glimmer of hope..." His voice was low and rapid, and his eyes were fixed on a point in the center of the distorted space, where the distortion seemed to be slightly lighter than other places.
He pointed at that spot and said firmly: "There! That's where the flaw is!"
The voice of the Nebula Sage was like a bright light in the darkness, igniting everyone's hope.
"The center of the distortion seems to be the most dangerous, but it is actually the weakest! The Dark Lord's power is overly concentrated here, forming a fragile node! We must concentrate our forces to attack there!"
Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what the Nebula Sage meant.
"Everyone, follow the command of the Nebula Sage!" he shouted, and his voice echoed in the twisted space.
Lightbringer immediately transferred healing energy to Star Knight to relieve his pain.
The Guardian of Blue Star stood in front of everyone, resisting the pressure brought by the space distortion.
Clinda used her special ability to sense the exact location of the weak point and guide the direction of everyone's attack.
"Now!" With a command from the Nebula Sage, everyone gathered their strength into a powerful energy flow, hitting the distorted center directly.
The space shook violently, and a dazzling bright light burst out, like a supernova explosion.
The Dark Lord roared in pain, and a look of shock appeared on his face as he watched in disbelief as his carefully crafted spell was easily broken.
"Impossible! How could you ants…"
Before he could finish his words, the shadow assassin sensed the reversal of the situation and dodged, trying to escape into the shadows.
However, the red-robed wizard was well prepared. He joined forces with the green-clothed elf. A flash of emerald green light appeared, and a huge magic cage appeared out of thin air, trapping the shadow assassin inside.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" The red-robed wizard snorted coldly, and the staff in his hand flashed.
The Dark Lord was furious when he saw his confidant being captured, but he was powerless to change the situation.
At this moment, he was surrounded by people and felt as desperate as a trapped beast.
Zhang Cheng slowly raised the weapon in his hand, his eyes cold and murderous.
"It's over, Dark Lord." Zhang Cheng shouted in a low voice: "Now, attack!" He led the way, and the energy sword in his hand burst out with dazzling light, going straight for the Dark Lord's head.
The Nebula Sage controlled the energy field in the rear to limit the Dark Lord's range of action.
The Blue Star Guardian was like a steel barrier, blocking the dark energy attack from the Dark Lord's counterattack.
Although the Dark Lord was besieged by everyone, he was still extremely ferocious.
He wielded the Dark Blade, and black energy rolled around him like a roaring beast.
Dark beams shot out from his hands, and everyone dodged, and deep pits were blown out on the ground.
"Be careful of his dark corrosion!" warned the messenger of light. The light in her hand sprinkled on everyone, forming a protective film to resist the erosion of dark energy.
The interstellar knight endured the pain and his eyes were determined.
He found a gap, leaped up suddenly, and stabbed the dark lord's chest with the sword in his hand with a sound of breaking wind.
The Dark Lord dodged the fatal blow by leaning sideways. The tip of the sword scratched his robe, leaving a shallow wound.
However, at this moment, a holy white light descended from the sky and hit the dark lord on the back.
The white elf took action, and her purifying power had a strong restraining effect on dark creatures.
The Dark Lord let out a painful roar, his body staggered, and his dark energy became disordered.
"Knight!" Clinda exclaimed, and hurried to the Star Knight to support his shaky body.
"Are you okay?" she asked anxiously, her eyes full of concern.
Star Knight forced a smile and shook his head: "I'm fine, thanks to you." He looked at Klinda with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
Klinda's cheeks flushed slightly, she lowered her head and gently bandaged his wound.
A subtle feeling was quietly growing between the two of them.
Just when everyone thought they had won, a deep voice came from the depths of the maze: "Do you think it's over? Foolish!" An old man in a grey robe and holding an ancient staff walked out slowly. He was the guardian of the maze.
"The power of the Dark Lord is far beyond your imagination. Unless we find the holy relic and completely destroy him, he will come back again..."
Before the maze guardian could finish his words, a burst of wild laughter suddenly resounded throughout the maze.
The Dark Lord covered his wound and slowly stood up, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
“Do you think... this is all the power I have?” He stretched out his hands, and dark energy gathered in his palms, forming a black vortex, emitting a heart-pounding aura.
The face of the maze guardian was hidden in the shadows under his gray robe, and his voice was low and hoarse, as harsh as the friction of an ancient stone tablet.
"The power of the Dark Lord is far beyond your imagination. Unless we find the holy relic and completely destroy him, he will come back again. The holy relic is hidden in the core of the maze, which is full of dangers..."
His words were like cold water that extinguished the fire of hope that had just ignited in everyone's hearts.
Finding the holy relic, another arduous task fell on their shoulders.
Zhang Cheng took a deep breath, suppressed his annoyance, and asked in a deep voice: "What exactly is the holy object? Where is the core area?"
The old man in gray robe just shook his head and stretched out his withered finger to point to the depths of the maze. "The answer is on the way." After that, he turned around and merged into the shadow of the maze and disappeared.
Zhang Cheng clenched the energy sword in his hand with a determined look.
"Let's go, we don't have time to waste." Everyone supported each other and prepared to go deeper into the maze.
The Light Messenger once again released healing light to heal everyone, while the Nebula Sage began to analyze the information provided by the Maze Guardian, trying to find the path to the core.
At this moment, the Dark Lord suddenly let out a creepy laugh, and the laughter echoed in the empty maze like a death knell from hell.
"Do you think... this is all my strength?" He covered his wound and slowly stood up. His originally dim eyes were now flashing a strange red light.
Dark energy gathered madly in his palm, forming a huge black vortex, and a suffocating feeling of oppression came over everyone.
"Not good!" The Guardian of Blue Star roared, protecting everyone behind him, energy surging through his body, preparing to meet the impending impact.
The Dark Lord raised his lips to a sinister smile, and the black vortex grew larger and larger, swallowing up all the light around it, like a portal to the abyss.
He stretched out his hand, pointed at everyone, and said in a low voice like a devil's whisper: "Feel... despair..." The black vortex in his palm suddenly expanded, and a black beam of light shot straight into the sky...
