Chapter 142 The Mystery of Negative Energy
Chapter 142 The Mystery of Negative Energy
The heavily fortified walls could not stop the invasion of the spreading black mist; hundreds of people feared the fog outdoors, as if countless evils lurked within it.
The roaring bonfire illuminated the descending darkness; the heavens and earth were completely obscured and shrouded, becoming a stage for otherworldly monsters to run rampant.
They harbored resentment and grief, yet had no outlet for their feelings. They were completely unaware of the outside world, with no information circulating. This turned the once powerful Wolf Knights and the Mage Guild into a chaotic mess, akin to a third-rate circus.
"Still no news? What happened to Haruki and the others?"
"I don't know. Not only can we not get through to normal communications, but we can't even contact Yugi Junsei. What's worse is that Yugi Junsei's energy display is weakening. Something terrible must have happened to Haruki and Zeta!"
Ah Jiu had already flipped through the legendary magic book three times, but there was still no good news. On the contrary, the weakening signal of the Courageous Pure Crystal made Sean and the other members of the Magician Guild even more worried.
The Mage Guild is in complete chaos, and the situation within the Wolf Knights is also terrible, just like the weather outside.
"The scouts sent out reported that Bogaru is missing, but a completely different otherworldly monster has appeared. Moreover, the Wolf Lord and his pack of Knight Wolves at the front have all been defeated, and the Hero is nowhere to be found."
Are the lords still alive?
"It's unclear. The scouts were discovered by the otherworldly monster when they tried to get close, and then lost contact."
One bad news after another came, and Li Ying was extremely anxious and saddened. The most powerful lord and warrior had been defeated, and only they were left to protect Langye Prefecture.
"Call all the remaining members of the Wolf Knights here. If we want to protect our home, we have no choice but to fight with all our might now. We will be the last line of defense against the otherworldly monsters."
The Wolf Knights are trying to rebuild their defenses. The pioneers have made sacrifices, and they must respond. The Lords' sacrifices were by no means in vain.
"Any news about Luo Yi? If he still has any humanity left, call him over to help. We need strength right now."
Sean took the initiative to ask about Luo Yi's whereabouts. With a great enemy approaching, the brave have been defeated, and darkness has enveloped the entire territory. If they want to regain the light, they must be prepared to fight to the death.
"There is no trace of Luo Yi; he has disappeared once again."
"What bad luck! Nothing has gone right lately."
Sean put on the Light Magic Stone and prepared himself. This was not the first time he had faced a powerful enemy, but Sean was still afraid, especially in this completely dark environment, where he was basically fighting in the dark.
The discipline he had maintained over the long term supported the last line of defense for Sean's fighting spirit. He knew he had to be brave. He wanted to make those who believed in him, believed in the guild, and believed in the light strong. Sean's courage would lead everyone else in fighting together.
"Can we contact other monsters that have combat capabilities? If it's an attack by monsters from another world, they can't possibly remain unmoved; there must be a way to unite their forces."
"That's true, but usually only Supervisor Zhaoyu can do that. Others either lack the strength or are afraid of monsters."
"If Zhaoyu can do it, so can you. We will always have to step into the unknown. We must do this in order to survive better!"
"But it's all dark outside, so if humans go out..."
The deafening explosion gave no warning to anyone; the explosion that fell from the sky produced not flames or smoke, but that irritating and frightening black mist.
The enormous beast's gaze pierced through the black mist, sending chills down everyone's spines. Its wielding scythe and spiked hammer sliced through the black mist, and its powerful legs stomped forward. The Tyrant monster Tyrant officially appeared before everyone's eyes, beginning a massive hunt for negative energy.
"What kind of monster is that?"
Everyone had this question in their minds, but the instinct for survival forced them to abandon further thought about it. They began to flee, to curse, and humans spread the firelight to farther places.
Scream and run! Tyrant's attack will be endless, and the pursuit of otherworldly monsters will exhaust humanity until they let out their last cry.
While hunting and nourishing herself, Tyrant's joy is fueled by the fear of humans. She dances and leaps, freezing houses with frost to preserve the stage, and then illuminating her high platform with flames.
"The Wolf Knights are all in position! Hold the line and resolutely resist the invasion of the otherworldly monsters!"
The wolf riders were restless, the knight wolves were filled with resentment. Their love for their homeland and their pursuit of honor kept them steadfast in the most dangerous place. The last stepping stone for the invasion of the otherworldly monsters would be their own flesh and blood, which they fought to the very end.
The more you hate me, the stronger I become. That's the magic of the negative energy monsters. The battles driven by burning rage will not increase the knights' power, but will make the monsters they face even more frenzied!
The fiery wolf claws were submerged by black mist, and the wolf fangs that intimidated all living beings became the most exquisite part of the ice sculpture. Tyrant will use the destruction of the wolf beasts to create his own art, and wherever he goes will be an exhibition of violent aesthetics.
The ground beneath the mountain trembled repeatedly, while soft laughter echoed atop the mountain. The superhuman ability to travel through space brought Zhao Yu to the scene of the battle, allowing her to witness the catastrophe once again.
"How are you feeling, Miss Zhaoyu? You can ask me any questions you have. I will answer them patiently as before, if you are still willing to listen to me."
After learning that the woman in white whom she had saved multiple times was the same person as the mastermind behind the otherworldly monsters, Zhao Yu became somewhat mentally unstable.
The familiar surroundings will no longer mean peace; any place could be a place where danger lurks, and the most terrifying and ferocious monsters may be lurking nearby.
The kindness she had shown to the woman in white had now become a terrible joke that Xin used to mock her. When Zhao Yu recalled it, it felt like a dagger was stuck in her heart, making her question herself again and again in agony about what she had done.
"It's okay to feel despair, Zhaoyu. After all, you're human. Isn't the birth of every hero always accompanied by despair?"
"Isn't the heroism that humanity celebrates about persevering through adversity and then emerging as the bravest and most dashing victor? Don't you like stories like that?"
"If you wish, I can make you the protagonist of such a story! I can give you power, Zhaoyu, a power stronger than Ultraman's light, a power that can never be taken away by the outside world! You can use it to fulfill any wish, and your soul will condense into a gem that gives birth to miracles!"
Shin approached Zhaoyu again stealthily, extending his palm to reveal a sparkling decorative gem that contained power from another world, just like the one held by Haruki.
It contained magic that could grant wishes; the gem seemed to be telling itself of its longing for miracles.
"Hey, Shin, what happened to what you promised me?"
Once again, Luo Yi interrupted without considering the atmosphere, suddenly shattering all the atmosphere that Xin had created. Zhao Yu's gaze shifted completely from the gemstone to Luo Yi. What was he planning to do this time?
