The attacks of the Black-robed Men grew increasingly fierce, and the Cosmic Creatures controlled by the Dark Power acted like tireless war machines, every strike carrying a world-destroying momentum. Xu Tiancai tightly gripped the Starlight Key, feeling the warm power radiating from it—their sole beacon of hope at this moment.
"Everyone form a circle, watch each other's backs!" Xu Tiancai shouted, his voice clearly audible amidst the roar of fierce combat. The teammates quickly closed in, forming a defensive back-to-back formation and unleashing their respective skills to withstand the enemy's tidal wave of attacks. Rays of light flashed around them as Starlight Power and Elemental Energy intertwined to form a colorful shield. However, the relentless assaults of the Black-robed Men and the Cosmic Creatures battered this defense line, making the shield's light flicker like a candle in the wind.
