Looking at the determined eyes of the women, Li An felt a surge of confidence.
"Good! That's right, that's the kind of determination we need."
So the group began investigating the source of this dark power, searching for clues throughout the dungeon.
During this process, they encountered many difficulties and dangers, but under Li An's leadership, the women never gave up.
Finally, they found the source of the dark power: a massive dark magic circle.
"This magic circle is so powerful," Yui Yuigahama said.
Li An carefully examined the magic circle and said, "This magic circle is very complex; we must be careful."
At this moment, Yukinoshita Haruno frowned and spoke:
"The rune structure of this magic circle is unprecedented, and it seems to contain some kind of evil will. Breaking it will not be easy."
Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fists and responded with domineering confidence:
"No matter how difficult it is, it can't defeat us! We'll just fight it to the death!"
Sagami Minami chimed in, "That's right! We've overcome all obstacles with 563 steps, we'll definitely succeed this time too! Besides, we have Lord Rean by our side!"
After a moment of contemplation, Li An said, "Don't be impulsive. We need to figure out its energy flow patterns first. Blindly attacking it will only trigger its defense mechanisms."
Yui, you and Haruno probe from the left, paying close attention to the changes in the runes' glow;
Teacher Shizuka and Minami Sagami looked from the right, paying attention to the energy fluctuations on the ground.
I'm searching for the location of the formation's core.
The group followed the instructions and cautiously approached the magic circle.
Yui Yuigahama and Haruno Yukinoshita softly chanted incantations, and beams of gentle light shot toward the left side of the magic circle. After the runes flickered a few times, black tentacles emerged from the circle and approached the two of them.
Yukinoshita reacted quickly, pulling Yui back and shouting, "This magic circle has a self-protection mechanism; it will counteract the detection power!"
On the other side, just as Hiratsuka Shizuka and Sagami Minami approached the right side, a black energy vortex surged up from the ground. Sagami Minami was almost sucked in, but Hiratsuka Shizuka reacted quickly, grabbing her and shouting, "Be careful! This thing is really weird!"
Chapter 127 The Ultimate Slaughter of the God-Slaying Demon King! Tremble, ants, it's time to hunt!
At this moment, Li An was completely focused in the middle.
Soon, they discovered a faintly visible core rune at the center of the magic circle.
He transmitted his voice through a secret technique to the women: "Everyone, gather around me. I've found the core of the formation, but I need everyone's combined strength to seal it!"
The group quickly gathered together, channeling their Yin-Yang powers into Li An's hand.
With a flourish of his hands, Li An wove a shimmering net of energy that slowly enveloped the eye of the magic array.
The magic circle seemed to sense the threat and struggled frantically, with black energy crashing against the energy net like surging waves.
"Don't give up, everyone! Hang in there!" Li An said.
With everyone working together, the energy net finally successfully enveloped the core of the array, the light of the magic circle gradually dimmed, and the surge of dark power subsided.
However, before everyone could catch their breath, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, and a group of mysterious figures dressed in black robes with ghostly figures appeared.
The leader of the black-robed figures let out a sinister laugh: "You think this will stop our plan? How naive!"
Li An warily stood in front of the women and questioned them, "Who exactly are you? Why are you causing such a disaster in this DanMachi world?"
The leader of the black-robed men sneered:
"We are the Shadow Order, sent by the evil god to collect dark energy and reshape the order of this world. You stumbling blocks will all die today!"
After saying that, the men in black robes attacked one after another, and dark energy shot towards everyone like black lightning.
Li An quickly formed hand seals, creating a shield in front of him, while simultaneously directing the women: "Everyone, maintain formation and don't scatter! Yui and Sagami Minami, disrupt their attack rhythm; Haruno and Shizuka-sensei, find opportunities to attack their weaknesses."
Yui Yuigahama and Minami Sagami worked together to use a deceptive light and shadow technique, causing the black-robed man's attack to go astray.
Yukinoshita Haruno and Hirazuka Shizuka kept a close eye on the men in black robes, searching for moments when their energy fluctuations were unstable.
Hiratsuka Shizuka seized the opportunity and suddenly threw a punch. The punch, carrying the intense yin and yang energy, struck a man in black robes. The man in black robes screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Taking advantage of the situation, Yukinoshita Haruno unleashed a chilling spell, freezing the movements of several men in black robes.
Seeing the opportunity, Li An flashed through the black-robed men's defenses and headed straight for the leader. His palm gleamed, and he shouted, "You're courting death!"
The leader panicked and hastily tried to defend himself, but under Li An's powerful offensive, he gradually found it difficult to hold on.
Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a large amount of dark energy suddenly surged out from below the magic circle, instantly enveloping the black-robed leader. His aura rose sharply, and his strength increased significantly.
"Haha, now it's your turn to die!"
The leader laughed wildly, waved his hands, and black energy transformed into a giant palm, slamming down on the crowd.
Li An's expression changed as he said, "Get out of the way!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly retreated, but the black palm was incredibly powerful and still affected them, sending the women flying.
Seeing this, Li An's gaze swept urgently towards the women who had been blasted away.
"How are you?"
To be honest, he underestimated the strength of this group of mysterious people!
Yui Yuigahama rubbed her sore arm and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'm fine, Lord Rean. Those despicable bastards dared to ambush me!"
Yukino's face was slightly pale, but her eyes remained firm: "They're desperate, but we can't underestimate them."
Hiratsuka Shizuka stretched her limbs, making a series of cracking sounds, and sneered, "You've really messed with me! Damn it, you're asking for it!!"
Sagami Minami gripped her weapon tightly, her face defiant, and looked at the group opposite her with a chilling glint in her eyes.
Seeing that the group, though disheveled, had not lost their fighting spirit, the black-robed leader was enraged: "Hmph, still dare to be stubborn? Next, I will let you taste true despair!"
With that, he waved his hands, and dark energy gathered in his palms, transforming into a ferocious black dragon that roared and charged toward the crowd.
Li An's eyes sharpened, and he quickly crossed his hands in front of him while chanting incantations. A golden rune barrier instantly appeared, blocking the black dragon's impact.
"As expected, villains talk a lot of nonsense!"
Before he finished speaking, Li An suddenly pushed with both hands, and the golden rune barrier seemed to be infused with endless power. Suddenly, it shone brightly and forced the black dragon back several feet!
It then shattered into countless black specks of light, dissipating into the air.
The black-robed leader's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He never expected that Li An would have such great strength, able to break his killing move so easily.
The Shadow Order members were also in an uproar; clearly, they felt an unprecedented fear of Li An's power.
"You ants, you can die now!"
Li An's voice was as icy as ice.
In an instant, he appeared in front of the black-robed leader, a dazzling golden light gathering in his palm—the ultimate manifestation of the Yin-Yang power within him.
Upon seeing this, the black-robed leader hurriedly waved his hands, attempting to summon dark energy again to resist.
However, Li An was much faster than he had imagined. The golden light streaked across the chest like a shooting star, instantly piercing through his chest cavity.
"You...how could you..."
The black-robed leader stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground, his life force fading rapidly.
This scene shocked all the men in black robes present like never before.
They had never seen such a powerful and decisive opponent. Every move Li An made was like a thunderbolt, leaving them defenseless.
"Who else wants to taste the bitterness of despair?"
Li An's gaze swept over every black-robed figure present like a sharp sword, his voice icy and filled with extreme killing intent, while also exuding domineering power!
Chapter 128: The journey to the Mirage ends, back to the world of sorcery! Evil god forces infiltrated?!
now!
The men in black robes looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and unease.
They knew that continuing to be enemies with Li An would be futile and might even cost them their lives.
So some people began to quietly retreat, trying to find an opportunity to escape.
However, Li An did not give them that chance.
He flashed again and appeared in the crowd of black-robed people. As he waved his hands, golden light surged out like a tide, enveloping the black-robed people.
"Since you have chosen darkness, then you shall perish forever!"
Li An's voice echoed in the golden light, and with each of his attacks, the black-robed man cried out in agony and fell to the ground.
In just a few moments, the men in black robes who had been so aggressive were all lying on the ground, lifeless.
Their bodies were swallowed by golden light and eventually turned into nothingness.
Li An withdrew the light from his hand. There was not a trace of blood on his body. He was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.
He immediately turned around and looked at the women who had been blasted away, his eyes full of tenderness and concern.
"Are you all alright?" Li An's voice softened considerably as he walked over to the women and checked each of them.
“We’re alright, Lord Lian,” Yui Yuigahama replied first, her eyes filled with admiration and respect. “You’re amazing! Those men in black robes were no match for you!”
