Chapter 128

Supported by the unwavering will of the Mysterious Warrior Leader, the violently trembling statue finally slowly grew still. That heart-palpitating tremor gradually ceased, as if forcefully held down by an invisible giant hand. At the same time, the golden light radiating from the statue regained its stability, resembling a warm and solid shield that firmly enveloped the entire cave. Yet, despite the immediate situation appearing to be under control, no one present felt even the slightest sense of relief. They knew deep down that the God of Darkness would never simply let it go and allow his carefully plotted evil ritual to be sabotaged. The current calm was merely a brief tranquility before the storm, and a far greater, more perilous crisis might be silently closing in on them step by step. At this moment, the vault of heaven outside the cave was completely swallowed by heavy darkness. The once clear and bright sky seemed to be tightly covered by a boundless, gigantic black curtain, leaving not even a shred of light able to pierce this thick veil to shine upon the mortal world. Layer upon layer of dark clouds rolled and surged violently across the distant horizon, resembling roaring, turbulent black waves as they squeezed and collided with each other, occasionally emitting low, rumbling sounds.
