Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 Mysterious Clues and a New Crisis

Slowly recovering from their exhaustion after the fierce battle, Ellie, Lucas, Lila, and Locke looked around the ruined castle halls, the pungent smell of smoke and the aftermath of magic in the air. Although Victor had been repulsed for the time being, Ellie was well aware that this was only a brief moment of calm before the storm, and the machinations of the mysterious organization still loomed over them like a dark cloud.

"We have to find the secrets hidden in the castle as soon as possible, Victor will definitely not stop." Ellie stood up, her eyes firm. The others nodded in agreement, knowing full well that time was running out and every second was crucial.

The four of them began to carefully search through the castle, not sparing any corner. The old castle seemed like a labyrinth, with intricate corridors and rooms that made them lose their way many times. But Ellie, with her sharp intuition and supernatural senses, could always find the right path at the critical moment.

In a hidden room, they found an ancient book. The cover of the book was engraved with strange symbols, exuding a mysterious aura. Ellie carefully opened the book, the writing inside was in an ancient language that she had never seen before. However, when her fingers touched the pages of the book, a strange power surged into her mind, and the words were automatically transformed into a language she could understand.

"This ... This contains a secret about the balance of the supernatural world." Ellie said in surprise as the others gathered around.

The book described that in ancient times, werewolves, vampires, witches and humans lived together in a relatively balanced world. However, a sudden catastrophe shattered this balance, and a powerful dark force rose up and attempted to rule the entire world. In order to stop this disaster, a powerful shifter steps forward, and he unites the power of all races to finally seal the dark force. And the key to this seal was hidden within this castle.

"Could it be that the secret we're looking for is the key to this seal?" Lyra asked with a frown.

"It's quite possible." Lucas said after a moment of contemplation, "If the mysterious organization gets hold of this key, they will be able to break the seal and unleash the forces of darkness, with unimaginable consequences."

Just as they were discussing, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the castle. The crowd rushed to the window, only to see a group of huge flying creatures appear in the sky. These creatures resembled dragons on the outside, with black flames emanating from their circumference, and their eyes flashed with red light, full of aggressiveness.

"It's Shadow Flying Dragons!" Locke exclaimed, "They are the minions of the dark forces, it looks like Victor has moved in to rescue them."

Ellie's heart tightened, she knew how powerful the Shadow Flying Dragons were, each one possessed the power to destroy a city. "We can't just sit back and wait, we must find a way to stop them." She said quickly.

The four of them quickly arrived outside the castle, not flinching in the face of the impending crisis. Ellie focused her mind and tried to manipulate the Shadow Flying Dragons with her psychic abilities, but these flying dragons seemed to be protected by some kind of powerful force, and her psychic abilities were unable to invade their minds.

"It seems that ordinary methods won't work on them." Ellie said through clenched teeth.

Just then, Lucas suddenly thought of an idea. "I've heard that Shadowfell Dragons fear the power of light, maybe we can use that to our advantage." He looked to Lyra, "Lyra, can your dark flames be transformed into the power of light?"

Laila frowned slightly, thinking for a moment before saying, "Theoretically it can, but I need some time to try."

"No time!" Locke pointed to the sky, only to see the Shadow Flying Dragon already swooping down towards the castle.

Ellie's heart raced, and she suddenly had the bright idea to combine her powers with the natural elements around her. She felt the power of the sunlight, and even though it was night at the moment, she used her powerful psychic ability to bring together the sunlight energy left in the air.

"Everyone, help together and converge the power to me!" Ellie shouted. Without hesitation, Lucas, Locke, and Lyla released their powers and merged them with Ellie's psychic ability.

Ellie pushed her hands forward and a dazzling light instantly erupted. The light was as dazzling as the sun, illuminating the entire night sky. The Shadow Flying Dragons rushing towards the castle were struck by the light and let out a painful scream as their bodies began to smoke and they fell.

However, there were too many Shadow Flying Dragons, coming in wave after wave. Ellie and the others' power was gradually depleted, and the light was getting weaker and weaker.

"No, we won't be able to last much longer like this." Lucas said anxiously.

"No, we won't last long at this rate." Lucas said anxiously.

Just then, Ellie suddenly realized that those falling Shadow Flying Dragons had turned into a black mist after touching the ground. These mists seemed to contain some kind of energy, and Ellie's heart stirred as she tried to absorb these energies into her body.

When the black mist was incorporated into her body, Ellie did not feel any discomfort, instead she felt a powerful force surging through her body. Her psychic ability was further enhanced, and her light became even more dazzling.

"I have a solution!" Ellie exclaimed excitedly, "The energy of these Shadow Flying Dragons can be used for me."

Ellie focused her mind once again, transforming the energy she absorbed into a powerful attack force. She manipulated the light, forming a light saber and shooting it towards the Shadow Flying Dragon. Wherever the light swords went, the Shadow Flying Dragons were cut down, spilling black blood all over the ground.

Under Ellie's powerful attacks, the Shadow Flying Dragons' attack was finally repelled. They let out a hiss of unwillingness and flew towards the distance.

Ellie and the others collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, this sudden battle had caused them to consume a great deal of physical strength. But they knew that this was just the beginning, more challenges awaited them next. And the secrets recorded in that ancient book, as well as the key to the seal hidden in the castle, were still mysteries they had to solve as soon as possible. As the Shadow Flying Dragon disappeared into the night sky, Ellie looked at the sky and secretly vowed in her heart that no matter how many more hardships and dangers lay ahead, she would not give up and would definitely guard the balance of this world.
