Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

"The Shadowless One... The King of Shadows... Destroying the world..." Lin Wan'er muttered to herself, frowning, "What the hell is going on? How come we seem to be involved in a bigger conspiracy?"

Chu Mengmeng bit her finger lightly, her round face full of confusion. Although she loves to eat and is a little confused, she is not vague at all at the critical moment. "No matter what, save people first!"

Xiao Yichen nodded, tapped his fingertips, and a soft light enveloped the dying prophet. As his injuries recovered, the prophet's pale face gradually turned rosy. He looked at Xiao Yichen gratefully, took a deep breath, and slowly revealed the secret of the "Shadowless".

It turns out that "Shadowless" is just a code name, and their real leader is the legendary sealed dark lord - "Soul Eater". Soul Eater has the terrible power to control souls, and once set off a bloody storm, and was eventually sealed by the Messenger of Light. Now, his remnants are trying to unlock the seal and let darkness descend on the world again.

"The Messenger of Light..." Chu Mengmeng tilted her head and tried to search for relevant information in her mind, "Are they the superheroes who protect world peace?"

The prophet smiled bitterly and shook his head. "The Lightbringer has long disappeared in the long river of history. Now only some ancient relics remain to prove that they once existed."

A heavy atmosphere enveloped everyone's heart. Without the protection of the Light Messenger, could they, the city guardians, really prevent the Dark Lord from reviving?

"We can't just sit there and wait for death!" A determined light flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes, "We must find the Soul Eater's seal as soon as possible and stop him before he breaks the seal and comes out!"

In order to deal with this unprecedented crisis, the city guardians acted separately. Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng were responsible for investigating the Soul Devourer's sealed place. Based on the clues provided by the prophet, they went deep into the city's underground to look for clues. Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were responsible for collecting intelligence to understand the Dark Lord's plans and weaknesses.

The city is still calm on the surface, but an invisible tense atmosphere is spreading secretly. People seem to feel that something terrible is awakening and a huge storm is coming...

"Found it!" After several days of searching, Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng finally found a hidden entrance deep in an abandoned sewer. The entrance was engraved with ancient runes, exuding a frightening dark aura.

"This should be the place where the Soul Devourer is sealed." Xiao Yichen looked solemn, "Be careful, Mengmeng, let's go in and take a look."

The two carefully passed through the entrance and entered a huge underground space. The scene in front of them shocked them. They saw countless figures in black robes kneeling on the ground, muttering something, as if they were performing some kind of ritual. In the middle of them, a huge black altar emitted an evil light, as if it was connected to the abyss of hell.

"What are they doing?" Chu Mengmeng asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yichen's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "They are...awakening the Soul Devourer!"

(Continued from above)

"They are...awakening the Soul Eater!" Xiao Yichen's voice was terribly low, as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth.

Chu Mengmeng couldn't help but gasp, her round eyes widened, and she didn't even notice the cake in her hand falling to the ground. They hid in the dark, watching this strange scene in front of them, feeling uneasy.

At the same time, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were also working hard to prevent this disaster. Su Mubai relied on his extensive connections to get information everywhere, and finally got some information about the Dark Lord's plan from a secret underground organization.

"It is said that the Dark Lord wants to open the door to the other world and release countless monsters into the human world." Su Mubai said to Lin Wan'er with a serious face, "And the first thing he has to do is to awaken the ancient monster sleeping under the city - the Sky-Swallowing Python, and use its power to break the seal."

“The Sky-Swallowing Python?!” Lin Wan’er exclaimed, “That’s a terrifying creature in legend that can devour everything! If it is resurrected, the whole city will suffer!”

Su Mubai nodded, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "We must find the seal of the Sky Devouring Python before the Dark Lord does, and stop this catastrophe!"

Time was running out, and the city guardians dared not slack off. Based on the intelligence they had collected, they drew a detailed underground map of the city and marked all the places that might be related to the Dark Lord. After repeated deliberation and analysis, they finally locked the seal of the Sky Devouring Python - the ancient altar located underground in the central square of the city.

"According to intelligence, the Dark Lord will use a blood sacrifice ritual to awaken the Sky Devouring Python at midnight three days later." Xiao Yichen said to everyone with a serious face, "We must stop them before that!"

The city guardians made a detailed plan to raid the base of the Dark Lord. Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai were responsible for the frontal attack to contain the Dark Lord's forces, while Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er used their agility to sneak into the altar and disrupt the blood sacrifice ceremony.

In order to ensure the success of the operation, they conducted rigorous training in the next few days, familiarized themselves with each other's fighting methods, and formulated strategies to deal with various emergencies. Everything was ready, just waiting for the decisive battle.

However, on the eve of the action, the city guardians unexpectedly discovered that the dark lord had already noticed their plan and was fully prepared...

As night fell, the city was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. The city guardians followed the plan and lurked near the dark lord's base, waiting for the best time to act.

However, just as they were about to launch an attack, a powerful dark force suddenly erupted from the base, shrouding everything around it in shadow.

"Oh no! We are exposed!" Su Mubai's face changed and he said in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless monsters poured out of the base, like a black tide, sweeping towards the city defenders.

"Damn it! They are well prepared!" Xiao Yichen roared, and the sword in his hand burst out with dazzling golden light, chopping the monsters in the front into pieces.

Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er also used their own magic weapons to fight the monsters. They were flexible and coordinated well, and although they were in danger, they were still able to handle it with ease.

However, the Dark Lord's strength was far beyond their imagination. He stood on the high platform with a sneer on his face, looking at the city guardians who were struggling to survive among the monsters with disdain in his eyes.

"You ants, do you think you can fight against me?" The Dark Lord's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder.

As he finished speaking, the dark power around him became stronger, and the monsters' attacks became more fierce. The city defenders gradually felt exhausted and fell into a tough battle.

"What should we do? If we go on like this, we will all be exhausted!" Lin Wan'er asked anxiously while fending off the monster's attack.

"Calm down, Wan'er!" Although Chu Mengmeng was also filled with anxiety, she still tried to stay calm, "We still have a chance! Yichen, let's use the city's geographical advantages to lead them to the underground maze!"

Xiao Yichen's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Chu Mengmeng's intention. The underground maze is an ancient building in the city, with complex terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is the key to their victory.

"Good idea!" Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng with appreciation, then said loudly to everyone, "Everyone listen up, retreat to the underground maze!"

The city defenders fought and retreated, and finally succeeded in luring the army of monsters into the underground maze.

However, just when they thought they could use the terrain advantage to deal with the Dark Lord, they found themselves in another trap.

"Hahaha! Do you think I really don't know your plan?" The Dark Lord's voice echoed in the underground maze. "I have already set up a trap here. You can't escape today!"

Just when the city defenders and the dark lord were in a stalemate, an old voice suddenly came from the depths of the maze.

"Who dares to disturb the peace of the dead here?"

Along with this majestic voice, an old man wearing ancient robes and holding a scepter slowly walked out from the shadows.

"The Messenger of Light?!" Xiao Yichen recognized the old man's identity and exclaimed in surprise.

The Lightbringer is the guardian of the ancient ruins. He possesses great power and is the last hope for the city's defenders.

"Children, it seems that you are in great trouble." The Light Messenger frowned slightly at the scene in front of him, "But don't worry, I have brought something that can turn the tide of the battle."

As he spoke, the Light Messenger slowly raised the scepter in his hand, and a gem emitting dazzling light appeared on the top of the scepter.

"This is..." The city guardians were stunned. They had never seen such a powerful force.

"This is the Stone of Light, which has the power to purify all darkness." The Messenger of Light explained, "I believe it can help you defeat the Dark Lord."

Hope suddenly ignited in the city guardians. They took the Stone of Light and prepared to fight the final battle with the Dark Lord.

However, what they don't know is that the Dark Lord's strength is far beyond their imagination. This battle will be extremely fierce and the outcome is unpredictable...
