There stood two figures: one was Li Changfeng, exhausted but still standing tall; the other was Mocaslon, whose face was covered only by a tattered cloak, seemingly severely injured and unable to stand.
Just when everyone thought the matter was over
Suddenly, Mocaslon slowly raised his head, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "You thought that was all? Heh... the show's just beginning..."
Li Changfeng was panting, sweat dripping from his forehead. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, watching Mocaslon warily. The surrounding silence seemed to await the next thrilling turning point.
"Brother...can he...can he still fight?" the little girl asked Zhao De in a low voice, her voice filled with deep fear.
Zhao De said firmly, "We have done our best. Now it's up to him."
At this moment, surrounded by the crowd, a figure slowly walked towards the center of the battlefield. It was the old man who had been secretly protecting the village—Old Yang. He was a respected elder in the village, and also a wise man revered by everyone.
“General Li,” came Old Yang’s steady and powerful voice, “you have done enough. Leave the rest to us.”
Li Changfeng turned to look at the old man who had given him countless suggestions and help, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "Senior Yang, please believe me, I haven't reached the point of completely giving up!" After saying this, he turned his gaze back to the seemingly defeated but actually dangerous enemy before him.
Just as the two were about to confront each other again, a young girl rushed out from the depths of the village. "Wait!" Her voice was filled with both anxiety and undeniable determination, "I want to join this battle too!"
Zhao De looked at the girl, who was about the same age as him, in surprise: "Lin Xue? It's too dangerous here, retreat immediately!"

But she didn't hesitate at all, and simply and directly replied: "You protect the village, and my mission is to support you! My brother taught me a lot of survival skills and self-defense techniques... Although I can't face the powerful enemy head-on, I believe I can contribute to the victory!"
Sensing the burning, pure will emanating from her, even the usually serious and cautious Li Changfeng couldn't help but show a hint of approval. Just as everyone held their breath, preparing to witness the possible changes that might follow—
A strange, chilling aura suddenly filled the air.
"Hmph, how interesting..." Mocaslon's wicked smile deepened, and then he suddenly raised his hands, causing the surrounding scenery to change abruptly!
The once clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and the faint sound of thunder grew louder as it approached; the ground began to tremble slightly, and tiny cracks could be seen rapidly spreading along the surface of the earth...
The villagers screamed in fright, and even Li Changfeng and the others couldn't help but feel a chill: such a strange and powerful fluctuation was clearly the imminent unleashing of an extremely terrifying large-scale offensive spell!
However, amidst this panic, a gentle yet resolute female voice suddenly rang out: "Don't be afraid, everyone follow me!"
As the words fell, the mysterious woman who had appeared at the edge of the battlefield earlier suddenly appeared before everyone.
She was dressed in a simple white dress, her long hair flowing in the wind, as bright and beautiful as moonlight; but at this moment, she was more like a beacon, illuminating the path for everyone in the darkness.
So this is the 'sister' Zhao De mentioned in the story before—the legendary powerful magician Aria who can control the power of the elements and quell the disasters of the world!
Seeing this, everyone felt a sense of relief and followed the suddenly appearing hero, slowly moving away from the center of the battle area; at the same time, they watched with anticipation the duel that was about to take place in front of them, as the challengers prepared to face off...
"Since that's the case, let's put an end to it all!" As Arya waved her hand to create a defensive barrier that separated the innocent civilians, she turned around and said calmly and firmly, "I will do my best to stop their spellcasting process and buy them time; and you, you need to find the weakness in their ability as soon as possible and cripple it! Only in this way can we truly save this land from disaster."
After Li Changfeng nodded emphatically to indicate that he understood the plan, he turned around and prepared to launch an attack; at the same time, the young soldiers beside him also mustered their courage and followed him, advancing and retreating together.
At this critical moment—Mocasron suddenly swung his arm, summoning a barrage of black lightning bolts that shot straight towards them...
"Brother..." The little girl was so nervous that she almost cried, clutching the corner of her brother's clothes tightly.
"It's okay," Zhao De patted her back to comfort her. "Look, they are all very brave~ Let's cheer each other on and get through this together!" As he spoke, he held his sister's soft little hand, his gaze more serious than ever before: "No matter what happens, your brother is here for you."
Arya took a deep breath, her entire body radiating light. She raised her wand and gently waved it, and a huge, transparent wall of light quickly formed in front of everyone, blocking all the approaching black lightning.
"Wow! That's incredible!" exclaimed a young villager in the crowd, his eyes filled with admiration. "I've never seen such an amazing person in my entire life!"

A middle-aged woman nearby nodded in agreement: "This female mage's power is like a legendary paladin reborn! Thank Goddess of Light for blessing us with the opportunity to meet her!"
Seeing this, Mocaslon sneered and intensified his attack. "Hmph, just some petty tricks!" he shouted, and with a flick of his wrists, he unleashed an even more violent energy storm.
In that very instant—
"You're not allowed to hurt anyone again!" Zhao De suddenly burst out from the crowd. Although he was thin, his eyes were as firm as iron. "I will never let someone like you succeed!"
Li Changfeng followed closely behind, stepping forward. "We've found a way to defeat you!" he declared, and together with several warriors, they marched towards the area shrouded in darkness. With each step they took, a faint light gathered around them, forming a source of power at the forefront to fight against the evil forces.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate,
The little girl tugged at her brother's clothes and asked, "Brother...can we really win?" Her voice was filled with barely concealed fear.
"Believe in yourself," Zhao De said gently as he squatted down. "Remember what your sister told us? As long as we have faith, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
At that moment, Arya floated lightly into the air. "Children, don't worry. I will use my last resort to buy you precious time." Her voice was clear and loud, echoing throughout every corner of the battlefield.
Then, she closed her eyes and began chanting ancient incantations, her entire being enveloped in rings of dazzling golden light...
Those watching from afar were all stunned into silence. "This is... the ultimate magic 'Radiant Protection'?" someone stammered, for it was said that only a very few who had mastered the highest level of magical skills could cast such a forbidden spell.
at the same time,
A veteran soldier looked at the younger generation with deep emotion: "I never thought I would witness such a magnificent sight today... I hope to become one of them in the future."
Upon hearing this, another boy nearby immediately responded excitedly, "Of course! I also want to learn swordsmanship and acquire even more powerful skills, so that one day I can become a hero like that great swordsman and protect everyone!"
Just as all eyes were focused on the impending decisive battle—suddenly a deafening roar resounded in the sky… followed by several enormous beams of light shooting towards the central battlefield from all directions!
"Oh my god! What on earth has happened?!" the villagers exclaimed in surprise.
Mocaslon then burst into a ferocious laugh: "Haha, no matter how much positive energy you gather, you can't stop the disaster from happening... Just you wait!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the entire world seemed to plunge into apocalyptic chaos...
Meanwhile, Zhao De held his sister tightly, his eyes burning with unwavering hope. He said in a low but firm voice, "Sister, please hold on no matter what... I believe you will succeed in rescuing everyone!"
At this critical moment, the entire battlefield was suddenly enveloped by a strange and powerful fluctuation. A pillar of light, like a divine sword, pierced through the dark clouds and pointed directly at Mocaslon.
A dazzling golden light erupted from Arya's body, as if the goddess of the sun had descended to earth. She spread her arms, and the golden halo gradually expanded, eventually transforming into a massive protective shield that enveloped everyone.

Chapter 1097 Distracting Attention
"Light, protect this land!" Her voice seemed to possess boundless power, echoing in everyone's ears.
Mocaslon's face grew increasingly grim: "How is this possible... this power!" He gritted his teeth, but dared not directly confront the light, and could only continue to enhance the energy of his dark magic.
Just then, a group of villagers ran over from not far away to provide support. Some of them carried farm tools, while others carried ordinary wooden sticks, but they all stood behind the warriors with determined eyes.
"Although we don't have superb martial arts skills or magical powers, we are still willing to contribute our strength!" a young father shouted, gripping his pickaxe tightly.
Immediately, someone responded: "Yes! It's worth it to protect our family and friends, even if it means sacrifice!" Everyone nodded in agreement, and their spirit of unity was truly inspiring.
At that very moment—
"Brother, that bad guy seems to be afraid of that big sister over here?" the little girl said innocently, looking up at Zhao De.
He gently patted his sister's shoulder to comfort her: "That's right, because we have courage and faith that are more precious than anything else. As long as we work together, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Changfeng waved to his companions, signaling to begin the operation. "Good opportunity! Distract them as planned, then concentrate on the breakthrough!"
Several experienced veterans quickly adjusted their positions to form a defensive circle, while the rest performed their assigned tasks: archers provided ranged support; mages continuously dealt damage; and the melee team, led by swordsmen, waited for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Every step was executed methodically and seamlessly, as fluid and natural as a meticulously choreographed dance.
Many of the onlookers in the distance were moved to tears.
- A woman in a couple held her boyfriend's arm tightly and sobbed softly, "Seeing these people working so hard makes me want to cry... How wonderful it would be if we could fight side by side one day."
Another elderly man sighed with emotion: "I really envy today's children. I wish I could have met such heroes when I was young."
As the incantations woven from mysterious characters continuously poured from Zhao De's mouth, gradually reaching their climax, the atmosphere on the battlefield reached its most tense and intense moment.
The air was filled with a trembling, electric-like sensation, causing everyone present to hold their breath and dare not move.
Suddenly, to everyone's surprise—the sky roared again!
"It's over, it's completely over..." some pessimists wailed in despair.
But countless more eyes, filled with trust and expectation, were fixed on the figure of that brave man. He carried the last glimmer of hope in their hearts…
Just when everyone thought the disaster was inevitable, a warm and dazzling light suddenly rose from the earth, instantly dispelling all the gloom and bringing a sense of boundless hope...
at this time,
A little boy tugged at his mother's clothes, pointed to the sky, and screamed with delight, "Mommy, look! The sun is out!!"
Cheers and gasps of amazement erupted from all around. "It's truly a miracle! Looks like we're saved!"
However, Zhao De, who remained standing still and vigilant in the center, did not show any signs of relief.
Chapter 1098 That's amazing!
Chapter 1098 That's amazing!
He slowly lowered his head, looking down at the remaining part of the evil spirit below, whose hands and feet were bound, struggling helplessly and roaring in vain in an attempt to resist, and coldly said:
Your evil deeds will end here. Now I will completely purify them.
The light in the sky gradually faded, leaving only peace and tranquility. However, even in this moment of peace, Zhao De did not let his guard down. His gaze, sharp as a blade, was fixed on the remaining parts of the bound evil spirit. The surrounding air seemed to be suppressed by his powerful aura, becoming heavy and solemn.
"Is it really possible? This monster is so powerful..." one onlooker muttered softly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
“Shut up! Mr. Zhao is our hope!” Another passerby glared at him and retorted, his voice filled with unwavering trust. “Look, that light has already solved everything.”
