Chapter 389 Runes Break Barrier, Crisis Not Over
Huanmo sprinted towards the stone platform, his heart pounding like a drum, each step feeling like a tap on his own heartbeat. He knew that his companions were placing their hopes on him; the slightest mishap would mean their annihilation. A tense atmosphere filled the hall; the sounds of the battle between the mysterious figure and Yichen made the air vibrate, and he had to concentrate amidst the chaos, guiding the power of the runes.
Yi Chen faced the mysterious figure head-on, his broken pistol flashing and swirling as he tried to find a sliver of hope amidst the frenzied attacks. The black shield surrounding the mysterious figure fluctuated violently with its rage, each attack carrying a destructive force. Yi Chen felt an immense pressure. "I must hold on and buy Huan Mo enough time!" He gritted his teeth, his wounds bleeding profusely, staining his clothes crimson, yet he resolutely continued to contend with the mysterious figure.
The woman in white followed closely behind Huanmo, her eyes warily scanning their surroundings for any sudden attack from the mysterious figure. The ribbon in her hand, though tattered, was still gripped tightly; it was her weapon in battle, and also a testament to her resolve to protect her companion. "Huanmo, I will protect you. Focus on guiding the runes," she whispered, her voice small yet resolute.
Huanmo approached the stone platform, took a deep breath, and concentrated all his energy on the runes on it. The runes shimmered faintly, seemingly awaiting his summons. He reached out and touched the runes, attempting to establish a connection with them. The resonance between the artifact and the runes on the stone platform gradually intensified, the light growing brighter and brighter. However, the mysterious figure seemed to sense danger; it suddenly abandoned its attack on Yichen and turned to pounce on Huanmo.
"Not good!" Yi Chen exclaimed in alarm, immediately giving chase and swinging his broken spear at the mysterious figure's back, attempting to stop it. The mysterious figure, however, didn't even look, merely shifting its body slightly to dodge Yi Chen's attack and continuing its charge towards Huan Mo. Seeing this, the woman in white unhesitatingly hurled her ribbon at the mysterious figure. The ribbon transformed into a white light, binding the figure's legs.
"Go quickly, Huanmo! I can't hold on much longer!" the woman in white shouted, her hands gripping the ribbon tightly, her body trembling slightly from the effort. The mysterious figure roared angrily, violently swinging its legs, trying to break free from the ribbon's restraint.
Huanmo gritted his teeth and accelerated the speed at which he guided the runes. He closed his eyes, focusing all his energy on sensing the power of the runes, merging his spiritual power with theirs. The runes on the stone platform shone brightly, and a powerful force surged through his arm into his body, then through him into the runes throughout the entire hall.
Yi Chen charged forward again, engaging the mysterious figure in close combat. Ignoring its attacks, he repeatedly swung the broken spear, trying to draw its attention and buy Huan Mo more time. Enraged by Yi Chen's frenzied attacks, the mysterious figure temporarily abandoned its attempt to break free of the ribbon and focused all its attention on Yi Chen. It extended its sharp claws and slashed at Yi Chen, who was unable to dodge in time, sustaining several bloody cuts on his shoulder.
"Yi Chen!" the woman in white exclaimed, her heart filled with worry and anxiety. She saw that Huan Mo's guiding runes had reached a critical moment, and she couldn't afford to be distracted. She could only silently pray that Yi Chen could hold on.
Huanmo sensed that the power of the runes was ready. He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Now!" All the rune lights in the hall shot into the sky, converging into a huge pillar of light that shot towards the black shield of the mysterious figure.
The light collided with the shield, unleashing a deafening roar that shook the entire hall violently. The mysterious figure let out a painful roar, and tiny cracks appeared on the black shield under the impact of the runic power.
"Keep attacking, don't give it a chance to breathe!" Huanmo shouted. Yichen and the woman in white immediately understood. Yichen swung his broken spear, aiming at the cracks in the shield, while the woman in white summoned her ribbons again, transforming them into sharp blades to slash at the shield.
Under the combined attack of the group, the cracks in the mysterious figure's black shield grew larger and larger, until finally, with a loud "boom," it shattered completely. The mysterious figure was exposed before everyone, its body swaying precariously, the madness in its eyes gradually replaced by fear.
"We succeeded!" Yi Chen shouted excitedly. However, Huan Mo did not let his guard down; he knew that the mysterious figure might still have a final struggle.
Sure enough, the mysterious figure let out a desperate roar, its body rapidly expanding, and a powerful and malevolent aura spread out. "Oh no, it's going to self-destruct!" Huanmo cried out in alarm, "Everyone, find somewhere to hide!"
The air in the hall seemed to ignite, and a scorching heat swept towards them. Huanmo, Yichen, and the woman in white searched for cover, but the hall had been almost completely destroyed in the previous battle, leaving very few places to hide.
