The contestant is too old, sister Zhou is crazy

Chapter 737 Advanced Magic

Leah continued to cast high-level magic, light and shadow intertwined in her hands, trying to balance the battlefield and give her teammates a chance to breathe: "Su Mo, left!"

Su Mo's figure was like a ghost, using every gap in the environment to avoid the Demon King's heavy blows and looking for opportunities to counterattack. His sword flashed in the shadows, leaving a series of imperceptible scars, weakening the Demon King's power.

The battle was stalemate, and the three of them gradually gained the upper hand with their tacit understanding and persistence. At this moment, the demon king let out a deafening roar, and the entire abyss trembled.

“It seems that I underestimated you… But the game is not over yet.” Before he finished speaking, the demon king’s body began to decompose, turning into countless black mists that quickly spread throughout the abyss.

Just when the three were at a loss, the wise man's voice sounded again: "Remember my words, strength is not the only way to solve problems..."

"Wisdom, courage, unity..." Sebastian muttered, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I know what to do!"

The three of them quickly gathered together to form a perfect circle. They concentrated their faith, strength and light into one, forming a dazzling ball of light.

"Heart of Light!" With their common cry, a ball of light shot up into the sky, breaking through the darkness of the abyss and illuminating every corner. The black fog dissipated in the light, and the figure of the demon king also disintegrated.

The battle was over, and the Shadow Abyss once again welcomed the long-lost light. They had passed the Demon King's Trial.

"We did it..." Su Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead, a victorious smile on his face.

"But this is just the beginning, there will be more challenges in the future." Leah reminded, but her eyes were full of expectations for the future.

"That's right, as long as we are together, there is nothing we can't overcome." Sebastian patted their shoulders, and the three of them smiled at each other.

"Now, we must find other fragments of light. Only by gathering them can we completely end this tug-of-war between light and darkness." Su Mo looked into the distance, determination flashing in his eyes.

"You're right. Every fragment hides unknowns and dangers, but we have each other." Leia clenched the staff in her hand, as if she was ready to face everything that was coming.

"Let's go, time waits for no one. According to ancient records, the next fragment should be located in the Frozen Valley, where it is said that the ancient mystery of ice is hidden." Sebastian took out an old map with their next destination marked on it.

Without stopping for too long, they quickly packed their gear and set off on their journey to the Frozen Valley. Along the way, they not only encountered unprecedented natural tests, but also discovered strange creatures and secrets hidden in various parts of the world. Every time a crisis is resolved, the bond between them becomes deeper and their understanding of the world becomes more profound.

The moment they arrived at the Frozen Valley, the three were shocked by the scene before them. Endless snow covered everything, and the biting cold wind blew, even the air seemed to freeze. In this place where life has disappeared, they knew that the mystery of ice and the next fragment of light were quietly waiting for them.

"It's so cold... This place is simply a living ice cellar." Su Mo exhaled, and the white mist instantly condensed into frost.

"The cold cannot freeze our will." Leia smiled gently, and a warm light radiated around her, providing a precious warmth to their team.

Sebastian looked around and said vigilantly, "Stay alert. Legend has it that there is a guardian in the Frozen Valley. We can't be careless."

As he was speaking, a low roar broke the silence of the ice valley, and a huge frost dragon slowly emerged from the blizzard in the distance, with a cold light flashing in its eyes, staring directly at the three people who had intruded into its territory.

"It seems that we have found the guardian." Su Mo gripped his sword tightly and prepared for battle.

"The Frost Dragon, a legendary extremely cold creature, how can we defeat it?" Leah asked with a frown.

"Remember the words of the wise man, use wisdom." After Sebastian pondered for a moment, a plan took shape in his mind, "The dragon's power comes from this cold environment. If we can find a way to weaken this..."

A battle of strategy and courage ensued. Leah skillfully used fire magic to try to melt the ice and restrict the dragon's movements; Su Mo looked for opportunities to use the traces left by the dragon's attacks to find its weaknesses; and Sebastian constantly interfered with the dragon's sight, creating chaos and creating opportunities for Leah's magic.

"Fire Dance!" Leah shouted, and as she waved her staff, the flames jumped on the ice like dancing elves, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding coldness.

Su Mo found the right moment and pierced through the dragon's frozen scales with his sword, and blood dyed the white snow red. "Now, Leah!"

"Light Purification!" A bright light accompanied by Leah's spell directly penetrated the dragon's body. Its roar gradually weakened, and its huge body slowly fell down.

After the battle, the wind in the Frozen Valley seemed less biting. Deep in the dragon's lair, they found the second fragment of light, a crystal clear gem that emitted a warm glow that seemed to dispel all the cold.

"Another piece... We are getting closer and closer to our goal." Sebastian stroked the fragment of light, a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"I hope that light can eventually shine to every corner of the world." Leia stared at the staff in her hand, as if she saw hope for the future.

"No matter what the road ahead holds, as long as we stand shoulder to shoulder, we will have nothing to fear." Su Mo stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with the other two.

The three of them smiled at each other, and that smile contained trust in each other, vision for the future, and determination to protect this world no matter what. At this moment, a gust of wind brought the wise man's whisper: "Keep going, children of light, history will be written by you."

"We will not let this trust down." Sebastian looked up at the sky. The sun, covered by thin clouds, seemed to be smiling at them.

"So, where's the next stop?" Leia put away the fragment of light, her eyes full of desire for new adventures.

Su Mo opened the map and slid his finger along the winding lines: "According to the ancient book, the third fragment is hidden in the Forgotten Forest, a place that is said to be forgotten by time and full of ancient magic and unknown creatures."

"Forgotten Forest..." Leah repeated in a low voice, with excitement and a hint of nervousness on her face, "We may encounter creatures more powerful than the Frost Dragon."

"That will only make our journey more exciting." Sebastian smiled confidently, his sword shining with determination in the sun. "Nothing can make people feel the passion of life more than fighting the unknown together with friends."

The road to the Forgotten Forest is full of unknowns. They travel through the ancient and dense woods, and every step they take may lead to unknown traps or encounter strange creatures. The forest is filled with a mysterious atmosphere that makes people feel awe.

"It's eerily quiet in here." Su Mo looked around vigilantly. The dense trees blocked most of the light, leaving only mottled shadows swaying on the ground.

"Indeed, but silence does not mean safety." Leia's magic is ready at any time, and she can feel the hidden magical fluctuations around her.

As the three of them walked cautiously, a soft and low voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Welcome to the Forgotten Forest, travelers. Why are you here?"

They looked around but didn't see anyone. Finally, their sight was fixed on a huge old tree. A human face slowly appeared on the trunk. Its eyes seemed to have experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes, but they were still clear.

"We are here to find the fragment of light." Sebastian stepped forward, his tone revealing respect for the ancient creature, "Do you know its whereabouts?"

The tree man nodded slightly, and the branches and leaves rustled, as if telling an ancient story: "The fragment is indeed in this forest, but to obtain it, you must pass the test of the forest and prove your firm belief in the light."

Tests followed one after another, from the psychedelic vine maze to the nightmare beast that could manipulate dreams, each step tested their wisdom, courage and trust in each other. In this series of trials, they not only deepened their understanding of the laws of nature, but also learned a lot of ancient magic knowledge.

Finally, after a magical duel with time, they found the fragment of light beside a spring illuminated by stars. It lay quietly at the bottom of the water, emitting a warm and soft light, as if telling the connection between the past and the future.

"We did it." Su Mo picked up the fragments from the water, his face filled with indescribable joy.

"But there are still more unknowns waiting for us." Leah reminded, her eyes firm, "Every piece we collect brings us one step closer to that bright future."

"That's right." Sebastian put away his sword and looked into the distance. "No matter what the road ahead holds, as long as we join hands, light will eventually dispel all darkness."

Just as they were immersed in the joy of harvest, the spring water suddenly began to ripple. The ripples spread outward, and a distant and solemn voice echoed in their hearts: "Travelers, you have demonstrated extraordinary courage and wisdom, but the real challenge has not yet arrived."

The three of them looked at each other, feeling both excited and alert. Su Mo spoke first, his voice firm: "No matter what awaits us ahead, we are ready to face everything."

"Then let's see what the so-called 'real challenge' is." Leah gripped her staff tightly, the power of magic pulsating at her fingertips, ready to deal with any eventuality.

Sebastian closed his eyes and listened, as if sensing every breath around him: "It's not just a challenge that's coming, there may also be allies..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The clear spring, ancient trees, and stars all disappeared in an instant, replaced by a chaotic void. Here, time and space seemed to have lost their meaning, and only the starlight path under his feet guided the direction.

"Where... is this?" Su Mo looked around, feeling a little confused.

"It looks like we've been led to another dimension," Leah guessed. She tried to cast a small illumination spell, but found that the light could only barely last within a few feet around them.

"Don't forget, we have the fragment of light." Sebastian reminded, holding the fragment high in his hand. The warm light seemed to open a path in the chaos.

Walking along the starlight path, they met other warriors who were looking for fragments of light. These warriors came from different worlds, with their own missions and stories, but gathered here for the same pursuit.

"We are apostles of light. We are searching for fragments of light in order to protect our respective worlds from darkness." A female warrior holding a double-bladed sword stepped forward and introduced herself. Her eyes seemed to contain stars.

"It turns out that we are not alone." Su Mo felt emotional. They introduced themselves to each other and shared their experiences. An unprecedented force of unity was formed in the team.

At this moment, a crack appeared in the void, and a huge shadow creature slowly crawled out of it. Its body covered the sky and its eyes were like black holes, swallowing up the only light around it.

"The real challenge is here." Sebastian said in a deep voice, holding the hilt of the sword with a firm look in his eyes.

"This is not an individual battle, but a common war of all worlds against darkness." Leia raised her staff, gathering the power of all warriors, forming a beam of light that penetrated the chest of the shadow creature.

The shadow creature let out a deafening roar, but the darkness around it was gradually eroded by the light, and finally collapsed and dissipated. The fragment of light that was sheltered in its body slowly fell into Su Mo's hands and perfectly merged into the fragments they had collected.

"We... did it." Su Mo's voice trembled slightly, not only with the joy of victory, but also with confidence in the future.

"But this is just a new beginning." Sebastian looked at his new companions around him, "Together, we will bring light back to every world."

"Yes, until light shines on all things and darkness has nowhere to hide." Leia's words were full of strength and hope, and her eyes sparkled with infinite longing for the future.

Just as they were about to return to the real world and continue their journey, the familiar and mysterious voice of the wise man echoed again: "Remember, warriors, the road to light is long and difficult, but faith and friendship will be your most solid armor. Go, spread the seeds of light to every corner of the universe, and let the flowers of love and hope bloom."

Leah, Su Mo and Sebastian smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding that did not require words flowed between them. They knew that the next journey would be more difficult, but as long as they had a bright heart and held hands, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

"No matter what we face, we will go together." Su Mo's words were simple and firm. He tightened the sword in his hand, and an unyielding light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, whether it is the other side of the distant galaxy or the end of time, our journey has just begun." Leah smiled and tapped her staff lightly, and a warm light appeared in the air, which was the fearlessness and expectation for the future. (End of this chapter)
