As the Robed Man's voice trailed off, his hands moved in a rapid flurry of seals. The dark magic array blazed with a blinding light as more shadowy figures surged toward the group like a tidal wave. These dark figures were faster and stronger than before, filling the air with a suffocating, oppressive weight.
Lin Xiu took a deep breath, releasing his Chaos Astral Power without reservation. The multi-colored radiance instantly illuminated the entire ruin. Unleashing the "Chaos Astral Storm", he swept his long spear through the air, sending a powerful energy storm swirling in all directions. Wherever the storm passed, the dark shadows dissolved. Yet their numbers were simply too vast, coming in endless, rolling waves. Though Lin Xiu's attacks could temporarily beat them back, they could not completely destroy them.
Seeing this, Alice moved in seamless coordination with him, executing "Phantom Strike". Her figure flitted like a ghost among the shadows, her short blades imbued with Chaos Astral Power to echo Lin Xiu's spear attacks. For a moment, the onslaught of the dark shadows was held slightly in check.
