Chapter 257
There were more and more cracks on the core sphere, and the dark power rushed around like a surging tide. The entire space was filled with this violent energy, making it almost impossible to stand.
Shen Mo held the artifact tightly, the light on the artifact flickering in the darkness, as if it would go out at any time. His face was covered with sweat, but his eyes were firm.
"Hold on, everybody!" he shouted.
Lin Yuwei held the magic weapon tightly in both hands, trying to maintain the protective barrier around her. Her lips had been bitten to the point of bleeding, and her face was as pale as paper.
Qingfeng and the female general fought side by side, struggling to resist the impact of the dark forces. Their clothes were torn and their bodies were covered with wounds, but they never put down their weapons.
Su Yao watched anxiously from the side. She kept praying for her injured companions, her eyes full of worry and fear.
"Ah!" The black shadow roared and pounced on them again.
Shen Mo gritted his teeth and faced the shadow. The artifact and the shadow collided with each other, emitting a dazzling light. Shen Mo only felt a huge force coming, and his body flew backwards involuntarily.
"Silence!" Lin Yuwei exclaimed.
Just when Shen Mo was about to fall to the ground, Qingfeng rushed over and caught him.
"Are you okay?" Qingfeng asked.
Shen Mo shook his head and stood up again.
"We can't lose!" he shouted.
Everyone was inspired by him and cheered up again.
However, the forces of darkness grow stronger and cracks begin to appear in the protective barrier.
"The barrier can't hold up anymore!" Lin Yuwei shouted.
The female general said loudly: "Even if there is no barrier, we will fight to the end!"
At this moment, an extremely powerful dark energy suddenly erupted from the core sphere, knocking everyone away.
Shen Mo fell heavily to the ground, his eyes went dark, but the belief in his heart made him struggle to stand up again.
When he looked up, he found a black shadow standing in front of the core sphere, absorbing the powerful dark energy.
"Oh no, he's going to get even stronger!" Shen Mo said.
After the black shadow absorbed the energy, its body became even larger and the aura it emitted became even more terrifying.
“You ants, now you know how powerful I am!” the black shadow smiled proudly.
Shen Mo took a deep breath and said, "No matter how strong you become, we will not give up!"
As he spoke, he raised the artifact again and rushed towards the shadow.
Lin Yuwei, Qingfeng and the female general followed without hesitation.
Su Yao shouted from a distance: "Come on! You can do it!"
Under the siege of the crowd, the black shadow began to get flustered.
"Right now, everyone, work together!" Shen Mo shouted.
Everyone poured all their strength into the attack. For a moment, all kinds of light and power gathered together and rushed towards the black shadow.
The black shadow tried to resist, but the force was too strong and he finally couldn't bear it.
"No!" With a scream from the black shadow, his body gradually disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, the core sphere completely collapsed and the dark power began to dissipate.
Everyone fell to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.
"We succeeded..." Lin Yuwei said weakly.
Shen Mo looked at the space which was gradually returning to calm, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"But this is only a temporary victory. We must continue to be vigilant against the resurgence of dark forces," said the female general.
Su Yao ran over with tears in her eyes: "It's great that everyone is okay."
They rested in the cave for a while and then started to walk back.
When they came out of the cave, the sun shone on them, warm and comfortable.
"Finally I see the sun again." Qingfeng said with emotion.
When the villagers learned that they had successfully destroyed the core of the dark power, they came to greet them.
"You are heroes!" people cheered.
Shen Mo and others smiled. They knew that there was still a long way to go in the future, but as long as everyone united as one, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
However, in the distance, a faint dark aura is quietly gathering...
