Chapter 902 Isha
After saying that, she pulled Isa to catch up with the team in front...
Just as the group was carefully passing the last section of the journey and approaching the final escape route, something unexpected happened again -
A strange sound came from behind, and then several sharp arrows flew towards everyone without warning. Almost at the same time, the originally silent space in the entire underground passage was instantly filled with the enemy's low and cold roar...
"Oh no! Is this a trap?" Jack quickly drew his sword to fight, but more enemy troops emerged from hidden places, making the situation even more critical. "It seems that we must do our best to break through the defense line to escape successfully."
At this critical moment when danger was lurking everywhere, Lena tightly grasped the light element crystal in her hand, took a deep breath, and stood up resolutely: "Everyone, please follow my guidance of light, let us break through the shackles of darkness together!" After she finished speaking, the girl folded her hands in front of her chest to condense a more dazzling energy glow, and evenly distributed this warm power to every partner around her...
Just when everyone was ready to fight hard——
"Bang!" A sudden loud noise broke the tense atmosphere in the air, followed by countless fine dust particles that spread out and blocked everyone's sight... At the same time, another strange but very familiar voice suddenly echoed clearly in the chaos: "Huh, you really know how to pick the time..."
The next moment, when the dust gradually settled and the full view was revealed, everyone present couldn't help but gasp:
It was none other than the Messenger of Hope who had just disappeared and reappeared.
Her expression was more solemn than when they first met. The tip of the staff in her hand, which originally emitted a gentle glow, had now transformed into a dazzling ball of blazing flames...
"Messenger of Hope... why are you here?" Raven couldn't help but ask, the surprise in his eyes difficult to conceal.
The messenger of hope looked at everyone and finally landed on Jack who was trying to break through the encirclement. Her eyes were firm but gentle: "There is still an unfinished task here. Since the struggle between light and darkness is not over yet, then there is no reason for me to leave."
As she spoke, the fireball in her hand began to emit a brighter light. An indescribable force quickly spread out, making the originally dim tunnel suddenly brighter.
"You're just in time!" Lena showed a happy smile, then turned to everyone and shouted, "Follow this lady's steps, she will definitely find a way to help us out of this predicament!"
Just as the words fell, several sharp arrows flew through the air again, but were easily blocked by a layer of energy barrier visible to the naked eye. "Don't worry," the Messenger of Hope turned his head slightly towards the girls and nodded with a smile, "Leave the rest to me. As long as you can evacuate safely, that will be the greatest help to me."
Then, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, she took a light step forward, and her entire body seemed to have transformed into the center of the shining flame, with countless small energy bodies emitting holy light slowly rotating around her body...
Faced with this incredible scene, Jack couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Wow! It's amazing!"
But the old hunter had no intention of relaxing. Instead, he immediately turned to his teammates and issued an order: "As we have discussed before, the best strategy is to evacuate as soon as possible. Don't hesitate, act now!"
Although Isa was still quite shocked by this supernatural power, she quickly nodded in agreement when she saw her familiar and reliable companions around her respond quickly. "Yes! I know how to get there, please follow me!"
After saying that, the little girl took the lead and walked quickly along the secret passage. The adventurers following behind her also adjusted their positions in an orderly manner in order to pass through this dangerous area as quickly as possible.
When they were about to approach the exit to the forest outside, a sudden explosion sounded from behind. The entire underground space shook violently several times, making everyone almost unstable. "Oh no! Did the enemy discover us?!" Jack exclaimed loudly.
However, he soon realized that the tremor was not caused by the enemy's attack, but by some more mysterious force - the moment he turned his head, he saw a golden sea of fire that had submerged the entire entrance to the pursuing passage!
"Don't worry about what happens behind you." The messenger of hope who was walking in the front said calmly without stopping, "The most important thing now is to take this opportunity to leave this dark castle as soon as possible. Only in this way can we completely stop those bad guys from continuing to do evil."
Finally, after a lot of effort, the sun shone through the woods into everyone's eyes. The fresh air and warm sunlight made all the members who had just experienced a fierce battle feel unprecedentedly relaxed. "It's really out... What a beautiful world..." Isa sighed softly, her eyes full of longing and yearning for a free life.
Just as everyone was preparing to take a short break and consider the next action plan, Lena suddenly thought of a question: "Wait, where is the friend who brought us the miracle? It seems that she didn't follow us just now..."
Everyone stopped packing their luggage and looked around. As she said, they did not see the other person. At this time, a lazy voice came from a distance: "Don't worry about me. I have accomplished the purpose of this trip. Now it's up to you to perform!"
Following the sound, I found the messenger of hope standing on a thick branch of a tree, smiling at the people below. "Don't just stand there, my friends. This world needs more courage and justice to defend its beauty. No matter how difficult and tortuous the road ahead is, please remember: as long as there is the light of hope, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
"Well said!" The old hunter laughed and clapped his hands in agreement. "In that case, we don't have much time to waste. Let's get going, guys, and keep moving forward to find more opportunities for light and victory!"
Just like that, under the inspiration of an unexpected reunion, the group embarked on a new journey towards an unknown journey under the guidance of the rising sun...
At the same time, in a hidden corner somewhere far away, the weak but still cold voice of the Queen of the Underworld sounded: "Humph... Do you think you can defeat me like this? Things are far from over... Soon it will be your turn to taste the taste of despair..."
When the group regrouped and felt the breath of freedom in the morning sun, Lena's eyes were full of worry. She knew clearly that the real threat was far from over. Although they had temporarily escaped the enemy's pursuit, the mysterious and dangerous Queen of the Underworld was still a dark cloud hanging over their heads.
"We have to find a way to defeat that monster once and for all," Jack said firmly, "otherwise we will never have true peace in our lives."
The old hunter nodded: "Yes, we must take action. But how can we do this?"
"I remember..." The Messenger of Hope said, she jumped down from the branch lightly and joined the discussion. "Someone told me about an ancient and secret knowledge before: if the weakness of the Queen of the Underworld can be destroyed, she can fall into a long sleep. But the key is - how to accurately find this flaw and destroy it in one fell swoop?"
Hearing this, everyone seemed to have found a ray of hope. Lena immediately took over the topic and asked, "Then how should we achieve this goal?"
The messenger of hope thought for a moment and continued, "According to legend, the Queen of the Underworld was once seriously injured when she was young. The pain was extremely unforgettable for her and became her biggest weakness. If we can find that specific location and launch an attack on it."
"But this means we have to face her power directly!" Isa interrupted with a little uneasiness. "And even if we can find the flaw, are we really strong enough to fight against her?"
Raven was silent for a while before he slowly said, "It is indeed very risky. But think about it, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to try your best to change the future. Besides, is there any better choice now?"
Seeing this, Lena nodded firmly: "Yes, in this case, let's try our best! At least this way we won't have any regrets."
"That's right!" The messenger of hope gave great encouragement, "I also have the confidence to help you get through this difficult time together. Please believe that we can do it!"
Therefore, in the following days, on the one hand, they were busy collecting intelligence and planning; on the other hand, they were constantly strengthening their abilities to prepare for the final challenge.
After a long period of careful planning and preparation, the group quietly sneaked into the rumored lair of the Queen of the Underworld on a dark night - a ruin hidden deep in the dense forest. Just as they were carefully approaching their destination along the planned route, two teams of fully armed guards suddenly appeared in front of them. "It seems that the plan needs to be changed a little," Jack whispered, "Let's act separately and try to break through the defense line quickly."
Soon the two sides started a fierce battle, the sound of swords clashing one after another, the scene was extremely dangerous. However, at this critical moment, a figure approached one of the leaders quietly like a ghost and quickly subdued him. It turned out that Lena used a clever strategy to successfully resolve the crisis.
After passing through numerous obstacles, they finally arrived at the center of the legend - the private domain of the Queen of the Underworld. "Are you mentally prepared? Once you enter, it may be the last battle."
Everyone nodded silently in agreement. "Let's give it a try, for light and justice!" With a loud oath, they resolutely took the first step forward...
A suffocating atmosphere reverberated in the dim hall. All around was silence, with only a faint light flickering. "Humph, you dared to set foot in my holy land," a cold voice came from the depths of the shadows, "It seems that it is time to let you experience what despair is!"
As they were talking, a dark shadow appeared like a ghost. Even though they were at an absolute disadvantage, they still did not give up the last glimmer of hope and used their most powerful moves to fight back.
Just when the battle was at its most intense, the Messenger of Hope discovered a flash of unique light somewhere - that was the legendary weak spot of the Queen of the Underworld!
"That's it!" She excitedly reminded her companions to concentrate their firepower and launch an attack, hoping to seize this fleeting opportunity. As a brilliant beam of light hit the exact location, the arrogant Queen of the Underworld let out a shrill scream, and then the entire area was shaken by a powerful and terrifying energy wave and was on the verge of collapse. "Damn... you despicable people!" Her face was distorted with pain, but she still tried to launch a counterattack without giving in.
Seeing that the time was right, everyone worked together and used all their strength to deliver a fatal blow to end this long battle. "Don't stop! You must persevere to the end to win!" The Messenger of Hope shouted.
However, unexpected situations are always unpredictable. At the last moment, the Queen of the Underworld used her remaining energy to launch a powerful counterattack, causing the entire battlefield to become chaotic in an instant...
"Ah!" Jack was swept up by the sudden burst of dark air, crashed into the wall and fell heavily to the ground. "Everyone, retreat!" The old hunter hurriedly directed the others to rush out. "We can't let her have a chance to recover, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain!"
Although they were injured, everyone knew that time was running out and there was no time to hesitate. So they supported each other and ran towards a safe area, praying that the decisive blow just now was enough to weaken the enemy's strength to the point where they were unable to fight back...
Just as everyone ran out of the palace, they heard an angry roar from behind: "Just wait and see! I will come back to settle accounts with you!"
There followed an eerie silence.
Standing in a safe area not far away, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of fatigue and heaviness. "It's great that everyone is safe," the messenger of hope said with emotion while taking a breath.
Isa looked at her companions with scars all over their faces and asked with concern: "But can we really defeat her like this? It feels like there is something that is not yet dealt with..."
Jack smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The most important thing now is to take care of the wound first. As for what to do in the future? We will have to wait and see when the time comes."
After ensuring that everyone was safely evacuated, they temporarily hid in a deep forest. Lena immediately took out some healing herbs and began to treat everyone's wounds, while the old hunter watched the surroundings vigilantly to prevent the enemy from chasing them. Although they were temporarily out of danger, everyone knew in their hearts that this battle was far from over. (End of this chapter)
