The Dark Lord broke free from the red-robed wizard's restraints like a beast from a cage, and his roar shook the entire maze.

Thick darkness rolled around him, like ink dropped into clear water, spreading rapidly and swallowing up everything around it.

The runes on the pillars made a crackling sound, and the crystal that originally emitted a soft light was now covered with an ominous shadow.

"Not good! This dark force is eroding the maze!" The Nebula Sage's face was solemn, and the star plate in his hand was spinning wildly, but he was unable to decipher this sudden dark energy.

Just as everyone was in doubt, the Amethyst Guardian, a ten-meter-tall giant statue that had been silent in the distance, suddenly flashed a strange purple-black light.

The light flickered, like breathing, which made people's heart palpitate.

"What is that..." The Lightbringer pointed to the distance, her voice trembling. She subconsciously clenched the Star Spirit's hand, seeking a little comfort.

"Could it be... corroded by dark forces?" Zhang Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

The Amethyst Guardian was originally the power that protected the maze, but now it exudes a disturbing aura.

Black cracks began to appear on the amethyst around it, spreading like a spider web, and strange light seeped out from these cracks.

The next moment, the Amethyst Guardian moved. It slowly raised its huge arm, the long sword in its hand hummed, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at everyone.

"It...it attacks us!" The interstellar knight exclaimed, drew out the energy sword behind him, and prepared for battle.

The Amethyst Guardian who originally guarded the maze has now become the enemy. This sudden change caught everyone off guard.

The Amethyst Guardian wielded the sword, and every attack was carried with devastating power.

It was familiar with the structure of the maze, and each attack was just right to block everyone's retreat.

"Kelinda, be careful!" The Blue Star Guardian shouted and pushed Kelinda away, but he himself took the attack from the Amethyst Guardian.

His huge body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground with a groan.

"Blue Star Guardian!" Klinda exclaimed and rushed towards the Blue Star Guardian desperately, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.

"Hmph, a group of ants dare to challenge the majesty of the Dark Lord!" A skinny figure walked out of the darkness. It was Black Shark's follower.

He had a playful smile on his face, as if he was enjoying a good show.

"Now, it is the real despair..."

Klinda knelt beside the Blue Star Guardian, her eyes blurred with tears.

"How are you? Don't scare me!" Her voice trembled as she tried to inject a bit of the Light Messenger's healing energy into him, but found that it had little effect as the invasion of darkness was too strong.

The scrawny man's shrill laughter pierced the tense air.

"You are overestimating yourself! You small fry think you can challenge the authority of the Dark Lord? How ridiculous!" He pointed at Zhang Cheng and others arrogantly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Look at you, you are in such a mess, like a lost dog! But we will own the entire galaxy!"

Star Knight roared and rushed towards the Amethyst Guardian wielding his energy sword.

The sword flashed, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. The huge body of the Amethyst Guardian just shook slightly and easily avoided the attack.

It swung its sword back with a whistling sound and slashed straight at the interstellar knight.

The knight barely dodged it, but was knocked back several steps by the powerful sword energy and almost fell.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Cheng's eyes fixed and he quickly formed seals with his hands.

A golden halo flew out from his hand and enveloped the Amethyst Guardian.

This is his new skill - "Time Freeze", which can temporarily restrict the target's actions.

The huge body of the Amethyst Guardian indeed paused for a moment, and a glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's hearts.

However, this hope was short-lived.

The Amethyst Guardian roared, black energy surged from his body, and he actually broke free from the shackles of time.

The golden halo shattered and turned into starlight that dissipated into the air.

"It's useless, your struggle is in vain!" The skinny man was even more proud. He even found a clean stone to sit on, as if he was enjoying a wonderful fight.

"How can you ants contend with the power of the Dark Lord?" The other pirates around also followed suit, and the laughter made Zhang Cheng and others look even smaller and more powerless.

The elf in white looked at Zhang Cheng worriedly, his eyes full of anxiety.

She bit her lip lightly and wanted to go forward to help, but she knew her strength was too weak and could only pray silently.

The Nebula Sage frowned, and the star disk in his hand spun faster and faster.

He kept analyzing the situation, trying to find a glimmer of hope to break the impasse.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked into the eyes of the Amethyst Guardian.

"Wait, the look in its eyes..."

The Nebula Sage pointed at the eyes of the Amethyst Guardian and spoke in a hurried but clear voice: "Look at its eyes! Although it is full of dark energy, there is still a trace of clarity deep inside! It has not been completely controlled yet!"

Zhang Cheng and others immediately observed carefully after hearing this. As expected, deep in the violent eyes of the Purple Crystal Guardian, there was a hint of struggle and pain.

"Perhaps, we still have a chance!" The star disk in the hands of the Nebula Sage shone brightly, and a dazzling light of wisdom shot towards the Amethyst Guardian.

This light is not an attack, but contains powerful power of purification and guidance.

The light of wisdom shone on the Amethyst Guardian, it roared in pain, and its huge body began to tremble.

The black gas and the golden light intertwined, as if two forces were colliding violently.

Everyone held their breath and watched this silent battle nervously.

The smile on the skinny man's face gradually froze. He jumped up from the rock and screamed, "What's going on? What happened?" The other pirates also became panicked, and their shouting turned into frightened whispers.

Finally, the golden light gained the upper hand.

The Amethyst Guardian stopped struggling, the darkness in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

Its huge body slowly knelt on the ground and lowered its head.

"Success!" The Star Knight waved his fist excitedly. Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed and they breathed a sigh of relief.

The Lightbringer immediately ran to the Blue Star Guardian and gently helped him up.

Her hands radiated a soft light as she healed his wounds.

The Blue Star Guardian looked at her worried eyes and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"I'm fine..." He smiled weakly and held her hand.

Kelinda also wiped away her tears, with a relieved smile on her face. She walked over to Zhang Cheng and gave him a gentle hug. "Thank you, Zhang Cheng."

Zhang Cheng patted her shoulder, but his eyes turned to the Amethyst Guardian kneeling on the ground. He knew that the crisis had not been completely resolved.

At this moment, the red-robed wizard and the green-robed elf suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The red-robed wizard held a staff in his hand and stared fiercely at the Amethyst Guardian.

"We must completely eliminate it! Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!"

The green elf shook his head. "No, it can still be saved! We can try to purify it completely!"

The red-robed wizard snorted coldly. "Purification? You are too naive! The power of darkness has penetrated deep into its bones. It is impossible to completely eliminate it!"

The green elf refused to give in.

"How do you know if you don't try? Besides..." She paused and looked at Zhang Cheng meaningfully, "Maybe he has a way..."

"Foolish! Too soft-hearted!" The red-robed wizard slammed his staff heavily, causing the ground to tremble. "This thing has been eroded by darkness. Purification is futile! If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences!"

The green elf showed no sign of weakness, her emerald eyes sparkling with brilliance: "What do you know? Purification is the hope of all living things! Besides, it is a guardian, and the remaining guardian power in its body cannot be ignored! Zhang Cheng," she turned to Zhang Cheng with a firm tone, "you must have a way, right?"

Before Zhang Cheng could speak, the Nebula Sage stepped forward, frowning, "You two, now is not the time to argue. The Amethyst Guardian's situation is unstable, and the dark forces are counterattacking. We must make a decision as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Amethyst Guardian kneeling on the ground let out a painful roar, and the black energy that had originally subsided surged up again, wrapping around its huge body. The golden light and black air intertwined, as if it would be completely swallowed up by the darkness in the next second.

At the same time, a heart-pounding energy fluctuation came from afar.

The figure of the Dark Lord was looming in the darkness. He raised his hands high, and a dark ball of energy continued to expand in his hands, emitting a breath of destruction.

"Oh no! He's about to attack!" The interstellar knight drew his weapon and prepared for battle.

Everyone was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

If we destroy the Amethyst Guardian, we will have less power to fight against the Dark Lord; if we purify it, we will run the risk of it being controlled again.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with tension and despair.

Just as the Amethyst Guardian was about to be completely controlled by the dark power and the Dark Lord was about to attack, a soft blue light flashed... and a figure appeared out of thin air.

With crystal clear skin, flowing blue hair, and a crystal scepter in her hand, she looks like an elf walking out of a dream.

"Crystal Elf..." Klinda murmured in a low voice, her eyes full of hope, but also with a hint of indescribable uneasiness.

Everyone held their breath, staring at the elf who suddenly appeared, wondering if she could change this critical situation... "She... who is she?" asked the skinny man in a trembling voice.
