The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 311 Water 5

Lingyu and the boy carefully followed the dark and damp passage, slowly making their way towards the underground chamber. As they went deeper, the surroundings became increasingly dark, and the air was filled with a suffocating dampness and a faint stench of decay.

The deeper they went, the more the dark magic, like thick ink, gradually gathered and accumulated, staining the entire space as dark as night. At the same time, the heavy oppressive feeling brought by this dark magic, like Mount Tai pressing down on an egg, weighed heavily on their hearts, making it difficult to breathe and move forward.

Finally, as they struggled to reach the door of the secret chamber, a dull thud was heard, and the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open. In an instant, a powerful, surging dark force, like a raging torrent, roared out from within, rushing straight towards the two of them!

Upon closer inspection, one could see a fallen mage clad in black robes standing steadily atop a massive magic circle in the center of the secret chamber. Surrounding him were various evil runes that shimmered with eerie light. These runes seemed to possess a life of their own, constantly twisting and deforming, emanating a chilling aura.

"Hahahaha... You two ignorant fools actually dared to think you could stop my plan? How ridiculous!" The fallen mage threw his head back and let out an extremely arrogant laugh, the sound echoing endlessly in the sealed chamber, deafeningly loud.

Faced with such an arrogant and domineering enemy, Lingyu and the boy showed no sign of backing down. After exchanging a glance, they nodded in unison and launched a fierce attack without hesitation!

Lingyu's hands moved swiftly, chanting incantations, and in the blink of an eye, she conjured several layers of colorful magical shields, firmly protecting herself and the boy within them. At the same time, a dazzling holy ray of light condensed in her hand, piercing the darkness like lightning and shooting straight towards the fallen mage.

Meanwhile, the boy flashed forward, his agility as swift as the wind, instantly transforming into a blur and quickly circling to the fallen mage's side. He gripped an incredibly sharp short sword, its cold light gleaming, and with lightning speed, he thrust it towards his opponent.

However, this fallen mage was clearly no ordinary person. With a mere wave of his hand, he easily neutralized the combined attack of Lingyu and the boy. Not only that, he retaliated, unleashing bursts of blazing black flames from his palms, carrying intense heat and terrifying destructive power, sweeping towards the two of them in a devastating attack.

As the inky black flames surged toward the frail boy with overwhelming force, threatening to devour him completely, Ling Yu's heart tightened at this critical moment. Without hesitation, she swiftly moved her hands and chanted incantations, instantly unleashing a powerful wind magic.

In an instant, an incomparably powerful whirlwind suddenly arose, howling as it rushed towards the surging black flames. This whirlwind, like a giant, invisible hand, with immense power, tightly gripped the boy's body and swiftly pulled him back to its side.

However, at that moment, the boy's keen eyes suddenly caught something unusual—behind the mage who was manipulating the black flames, there was a crucial magic circle node hidden! This discovery greatly excited the boy, and he immediately gestured to Lingyu, signaling her to cover him with all her might.

Upon receiving the instruction, Lingyu immediately concentrated all his energy and once again activated the magic power within him. In an instant, a fierce wind arose, carrying sand and stones, which tightly bound the mage. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was restrained by Lingyu's attack, the boy took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and fearlessly sprinted towards the key magic circle node.

Finally, under Ling Yu's all-out cover, the boy successfully reached the target location. He used all his strength to fiercely swing the short sword in his hand, and with a crisp "crack", the seemingly indestructible magic circle node shattered.

At the same time, the mage, having lost the support of a crucial node, felt his magic power become chaotic, and the originally fierce black flames began to flicker erratically. Seeing this, the boy and Lingyu exchanged a glance, their minds in perfect harmony. Seizing the opportunity, they simultaneously launched their most powerful attack.

As two dazzling beams of light collided, a deafening roar resounded. The fallen mage, unable to withstand the overwhelming force, screamed and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground. As he fell, the dark magic surrounding him slowly dissipated like a tide, and the once eerie and terrifying castle finally returned to its former tranquility.
