Chapter 903: The Tide of Darkness

The mighty forbidden curse magic, surging with endless water-elemental magical essence, rushed toward the fallen angel Brost.

Brost had just repelled Cui Can Daoguang and the others when he suddenly sensed something. Puzzled, he looked up and saw the frenzied surge of blue water-elemental magic rushing toward him.

Hissing sounds emerged as the blue water-elemental magic touched the black flames surrounding Brost, instantly turning into streams of white smoke that drifted away in the wind. However, the black flames around Brost gradually began to extinguish.

Within the water-elemental domain, Brost found it extremely difficult to even move, as if he were submerged in an endless deep sea.

Taking advantage of his weakness to deliver a fatal blow, all magic casters intensified their attacks, unleashing spells with significant damage.

Brost wanted to swing his sword at Cui Can Dao Guang, but his greatsword encountered heavy resistance. It was so difficult to swing that it moved like slow motion before finally descending.

Cui Can Dao Guang easily dodged Brost’s attack and slashed his sword against Brost’s leg.

The water-elemental domain was created by three elemental archmages. Within this domain, they could freely manipulate all water-elemental magical essence. These water-elemental forces hindered Brost’s movements but had no effect on their allies.

Glancing upward at the sluggish Brost, Cui Can Dao Guang couldn’t help but think that this water-elemental domain was indeed impressive.

Brost roared furiously but remained unable to break free from the water-elemental domain’s constraints. The domain lasted for over three minutes, during which Brost lost nearly 10% of his health.

“The water-elemental domain is about to end!” Bu Si De Huai Dan (Bu Si De Huai Dan) shouted anxiously.

Once Brost escaped the domain’s restraint, he would become overwhelmingly powerful again.

“All Holy Word Mages, follow me and use Sword of Judgment!” Xie Yao said in the team chat.

Xie Yao, along with Xi Huan Jiang Nan (Xi Huan Jiang Nan) and another Holy Word Mage, stood in a straight line with Xie Yao at the center. They began chanting incantations. The solemn and majestic sound was like a god’s whisper from the void, causing a sense of reverence.

The incantation chanting time wasn’t long.

Ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds…

The water-elemental domain’s effects gradually dissipated. As Brost was about to break free, a massive white sword appeared above Xie Yao and her team. This was the Sword of Judgment, one of the Holy Word Mages’ strongest forbidden spells, particularly devastating against dark creatures!

This white greatsword was much larger than the light sword that Nie Yan used when casting Annihilation Slash. The Sword of Judgment descended from the sky, striking Brost with a thunderous explosion. Brost was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, with a damage number of over 3 million floating above his head.

This single-target attack spell, jointly unleashed by three Archmage-level Holy Word Mages, was no small feat.

When confronting the Thunder Dragon, they had been reluctant to use such skills, as Brost was the main target. If they exhausted all their strongest attack skills, they would have no trump cards left against Brost. But now, they could abandon all caution and unleash their full power.

Brost had barely escaped the water-elemental domain’s restraint when he was struck by the overwhelming Sword of Judgment. He struggled to rise, his health reduced to about 12%. Dazed, he shook his head, as the Sword of Judgment had stunned him.

Time ticked away, and Brost would soon recover consciousness.

“Who still has skills to control Brost?”

“I don’t!”

“Me neither!”

Skills like the water-elemental domain and Sword of Judgment weren’t common. They were learned by Bu Si De Huai Dan, Xie Yao, and others from the mage tower in Keli Bose (Keli Bose) Fortress under extremely stringent conditions. They had only learned two such skills.

How could they deplete Brost’s remaining 12% health? This was a daunting task.

Brost finally recovered from the stunned state. Such tremendous damage enraged him. He let out a long roar, flapped his wings, and gradually floated into the air. The entire temple was filled with his violent aura.

Like an enraged demon god, he instilled fear and awe.

As he floated upward, the sky above the temple turned into a dark void.

Everyone felt as if they had entered another dimension—a vast emptiness resembling a giant black tent. Instead of feeling open, it created immense pressure. Brost floated high above, towering over them all.

Gradually, the temple completely vanished, replaced by a dark forest with a blood-red moon hanging in the sky.

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know!”

Everyone was startled. They had never encountered such a situation before. Although somewhat panicked, the mages continued to unleash their maximum output.

“A group of annoying ants, you’ve entered my Dark Domain. Here, I control life and death. Before you die, let me show you the power of a demon god!” After chanting an incantation, Brost unleashed waves of dark energy toward Nie Yan and the others.

Powerful dark magical elements surged like a tidal wave, seemingly ready to swallow everyone whole.

Everyone’s faces changed. What kind of magic was this?

As everyone seemed destined to be engulfed by the dark magical onslaught…

“Divine Word!”

“Divine Word!”

Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zi (Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zi), Shi Li Hua Sha (Shi Li Hua Sha), and others reacted quickly, using Divine Words to dispel the dark magical elements. The two forces intertwined, with many dark elements dispelled by Divine Words. Yet, they continued to surge from all directions, penetrating every gap.

It’s over. This time, we’re doomed to be wiped out.

Dark Sadness, standing nearby, chanted an incantation. A white barrier slowly expanded, enveloping everyone inside.

Dark Sadness was a guardian knight, and his skills mainly consisted of light-based protective magic—Radiant Barrier.

The dark magical elements surged like a tsunami.

The white barrier blocked the dark elements outside, but under the magical onslaught, the barrier wavered precariously, seemingly on the verge of total collapse.

Dark Sadness felt his magical energy rapidly depleting, with nearly 20,000 magic points dropping by half in moments.

“My magic is almost gone!” Dark Sadness shouted anxiously while quickly drinking an expert-level instant magic recovery potion. Radiant Barrier was a unique protective magic. If the paladin had infinite magic, the barrier would be perpetual. Any damage the barrier sustained would automatically transfer to the maintainer’s magic points. Once the maintainer’s magic was exhausted, the barrier would shatter.

“Radiant Barrier?” Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zi was slightly taken aback. Seeing the barrier wavering under the dark magic onslaught, he said grimly, “Let me help!”

Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zi raised his staff high, channeling his magic energy through his right hand into the Radiant Barrier.

Holy Word Mages, priests, and paladins could all channel magic into Radiant Barrier!

“I’ll help too!”

“Count me in!”

Shi Li Hua Sha, Hei Se Tian Tang (Hei Se Tian Tang), Bi Lou Sha (Bi Lou Sha), and others began channeling magic into Radiant Barrier.

The dark magical onslaught was endless, continuously crashing against Radiant Barrier. The barrier kept trembling but was sustained by eight team members channeling magic into it, preventing it from breaking.

However, under the relentless assault of dark magical elements, everyone’s magic reserves were nearing depletion. Although they could drink expert-level instant magic potions, they estimated they couldn’t last much longer.

“No good! My magic is almost gone! We can only hold for another minute at most. Nie Yan, what should we do? Hurry up and think of something!” Dark Sadness urged anxiously.

The team members were like ants on a hot pan.

Nie Yan glanced at the Guardian Angel Karina on his right shoulder. Guardian Angel Karina seemed to understand Nie Yan’s intention. She raised her right hand, unleashing a powerful surge of holy light magic toward Radiant Barrier. The previously wavering barrier thickened significantly, becoming impervious even under the dark magical onslaught.

Seeing this, everyone exhaled in relief. With Guardian Angel Karina’s support, Radiant Barrier wouldn’t break anytime soon. Although they didn’t know how much magic Karina had, judging from her usual performance, her magic reserves were seemingly inexhaustible.

Brost continuously fueled the dark magical elements, which surged like violent waves. Maintaining such a spell consumed enormous amounts of magic. He had expected to eliminate Nie Yan and others quickly, but after one minute, two minutes passed, and Radiant Barrier remained unbroken. His magic reserves began to dwindle.

Seeing Guardian Angel Karina also channeling magic into Radiant Barrier, Brost finally gave up. He performed a magical siphon, drawing all the dark magical elements in the dark space back into himself.

All surrounding dark magical elements receded, and finally, safety was restored.

“Beige, retract the Radiant Shield!” Nie Yan said. With the shield in front, they couldn’t attack Brost. Since Brost had interrupted his spell, he probably wouldn’t use the Dark Surge skill again for some time. This skill likely had a cooldown period. If Brost could continuously use this skill, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

They needed to defeat Brost quickly. There were only ten minutes left until Guardian Angel Karina was consumed by the curse!

“Okay!” Dark Sadness nodded and retracted the Radiant Shield.

Everyone looked upward and saw Brost panting heavily. Casting that spell had consumed a significant amount of his magic.

“Let’s do this! Everyone, give it your all and defeat Brost!” Nie Yan shouted in the team chat. Fixing his gaze on Brost in the sky, he leaped forward, soaring over ten yards toward the fallen angel Brost.
