Stepping through the teleportation gate, Reynold and his companions seemed to be plunged into the chaotic void. All around was endless darkness, with only flickering streams of mysterious energy flowing like writhing snakes, outlining dreamlike yet perilous light and shadow. In the void, gravity was out of balance. Sometimes it pulled them towards unfathomable abysses, and sometimes it made them float weightlessly, difficult to control.
Lina gritted her teeth, her long whip whirling so tightly that the gleaming aura of fighting spirit at the tip became one of the few sources of light in this darkness. With her exquisite skills and extraordinary sense of balance, she strived to carve out relatively stable footholds for everyone in this chaotic environment. Evelyn was fully focused, constantly summoning purifying plants that emitted a soft blue light. These plants, like loyal guards, encircled everyone, purifying the eerie energy permeating the void and also releasing a faint gravitational pull to help combat the unbalanced gravity. Alicia's hands moved rapidly as she inscribed runes at a speed almost too fast for the naked eye to follow. The runes intertwined in the air to form a complex protective net, warding off the energy surges that would suddenly strike from the darkness.
Reynold hovered in mid-air, the three artifacts in his hand shining brightly. Drawing on the power of the artifacts, he sensed the surrounding environment, attempting to find the path leading to the final place of guardianship. Suddenly, a powerful energy fluctuation swept in from the distance. He fixed his gaze and saw a horde of shadowy spirits condensed from chaotic energy roaring towards them. These spirits had various forms. Some were like malevolent birds spreading their wings, with beaks and claws glinting coldly, capable of easily tearing through space. Others resembled distorted human figures, with black arcs of electricity coiling around them, able to unleash violent energy blasts with every move.
"Be careful!" Reynold shouted, and at the same time, he held the Trident of the Sea God horizontally and汇聚 the power of the stars, hurling it with all his might at the leading shadowy spirit. The trident, wrapped in light, streaked through the void like a meteor. The spirit couldn't dodge in time and was hit in a vital part, instantly exploding in a powerful energy ripple and dissipating into nothingness. But more spirits swarmed forward, their attacks growing even fiercer.
Lina let out a coquettish shout, her long whip shooting out like a dragon emerging from the sea, nimbly weaving through the group of spirits. She specifically targeted the weak points of the spirits, such as their joints and necks, lashing out. Each hit was accompanied by the agonized howls of the spirits. Evelyn increased her magic output, and the purifying plants she summoned grew even taller and sturdier. Not only could they resist the encroachment of the shadowy spirits, but they could also extend tough vines to tightly bind the approaching spirits, restricting their movements. Alicia, with beads of sweat on her forehead, constantly adjusted the arrangement and combination of the runes to strengthen the toughness and attack power of the protective net. The rune light blazed brightly, bouncing back some spirits that tried to break through the defense line, severely wounding them.
After a long and fierce battle, although they hadn't been defeated yet, everyone was gradually feeling the strain. Reynold realized that being on the defensive like this was not a long-term solution. They had to take the initiative and find the core weaknesses of these shadowy spirits. He closed his eyes and, relying on the deep resonance with the artifacts, immersed himself, sensing the energy rhythm of this chaotic void. After a moment, he snapped open his eyes, a glimmer of insight shining in them. "These spirits are born of chaotic energy, and their energy cores are located below their abdomens. Attack there!"
Hearing this, everyone's spirits were lifted, and they immediately adjusted their tactics. Lina swung her long whip, using the precise control of the tip to stab repeatedly at the area below the spirits' abdomens. Evelyn directed the purifying plants to assist with the attack using their sharp branches and leaves. Alicia inscribed amplification runes on everyone's weapons to enhance their attack power. Reynold even activated the Demon God Assimilation, his body enveloped in a brilliant purple-black light. Holding the artifacts, he moved like a ghost among the spirit horde, launching a fierce offensive straight at the heart of the enemy.
Under the concerted attack of everyone, the formation of the shadowy spirits was thrown into chaos. Their core weaknesses were breached one by one, and they gradually dissipated into wisps of chaotic energy. With the fall of the last spirit, the darkness in front slowly
