With the blessing of the star power, the continent of Atlantis thrived even more. The guardianship of Reynold and his group enabled the people to live in peace. Children grew up healthily, and everywhere was filled with vitality and hope. However, just as a calm lake is bound to have ripples, an unimaginable crisis was quietly seeping through the folds of time and space.
One day, while Reynold was patrolling the city, suddenly, a strange light flashed across the sky without warning. Immediately after, a strong fluctuation in time and space spread out visibly in all directions, and the entire city was instantly enveloped in an eerie light and shadow. Reynold's heart tightened, and he immediately summoned Lina, Evelyn, and Alicia.
"This fluctuation in time and space is extremely abnormal. I'm worried that something unknown is about to break through the barrier and arrive," Reynold said with a solemn expression.
Everyone was on high alert. Soon, a huge rift in time and space slowly appeared in the sky. A thick dark aura gushed out from it, mixed with strange and eerie energy fluctuations. Then, one by one, hideous and never-before-seen otherworldly creatures swarmed out of the rift. Some of them were as elusive as ghosts, floating and drifting, with a black mist that could corrode everything surrounding them; others were huge, with a hard outer shell like armor. Every movement they made shook the ground, and they spat out green slime that could melt stones from their mouths.
"What kind of monsters are these? Where did they come from?" Lina exclaimed, and subconsciously tightened her grip on her long whip.
"Wherever they came from, we must not let them rampage on our continent!" Reynold roared and charged at the group of otherworldly creatures first. He activated the Demon God Assimilation, and the purple-black light around him shone brightly. The Trident of the Sea God in his hand, wrapped in the star power, stabbed viciously at a huge otherworldly creature. As soon as the trident touched the monster's shell, a harsh grinding sound was heard, and a shower of sparks flew up. The monster howled in pain and swung its thick arm at Reynold.
Seeing this, Lina's long whip shot out like a dragon emerging from the sea, nimbly shuttling through the group of monsters. The tip of the whip accurately lashed at the weak points of the monsters, such as their joints and eyes, to relieve the pressure on Reynold. Evelyn quickly summoned a large expanse of thorns with purifying abilities, trying to halt the spread of the black mist. At the same time, she cast her healing magic to restore the strength of the wounded Reynold and Lina. Alicia, meanwhile, focused intently on inscribing runes and arranged them into defensive and amplification arrays, enveloping everyone to enhance their defense and attack capabilities.
In the heat of the battle, Reynold, with his keen insight, noticed that these otherworldly creatures seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force hidden deep within the rift in time and space. If he didn't cut off this controlling force, they would keep pouring out. He shouted to his companions, "I'm going to rush into the rift to find the source of control. Cover me!"
With that, Reynold's figure flashed. By using time and space magic, he skillfully dodged the attacks of the monsters and sped towards the rift in time and space. Lina, Evelyn, and Alicia coordinated with each other to fully牵制 the surrounding monsters and opened up a passage for Reynold.
When Reynold approached the rift, he was blocked by several guardian spirits condensed from dark energy. These guardian spirits were shaped like skeletons, with eerie green flames burning in their eye sockets. They were agile and their attacks were fierce. The weapons in their hands glinted coldly and could easily cut through the air. Reynold showed no fear. He brought the power of the three artifacts to the fullest, swinging the trident vigorously and engaging in a desperate fight with the guardian spirits. Each attack was accompanied by the shining of the artifact power, forcing a way through the heavy encirclement of the guardian spirits and gradually approaching the depths of the rift.
On Lina's side, the pressure suddenly increased. The monsters seemed to sense Reynold's intention, and their attacks became even more frantic. A huge otherworldly behemoth lunged at her. Lina nimbly sidestepped, and her long whip wrapped around the behemoth's neck. Using the leverage, she flipped over and landed on the behemoth's back, whipping its head hard to disrupt its movements. Evelyn continuously summoned more plants with purifying abilities, building a green barrier around everyone to resist the erosion of the black mist. At the same time, she diverted part of her magic power to continuously send healing energy to the wounded companions to ensure that their combat effectiveness
