The withered hand grabbed Zhang Cheng like lightning, but he instinctively jumped back and barely dodged it.

The fog rolled, and a hunched figure emerged from it, with dry skin wrapped around his bones and a faint green light flickering in his empty eye sockets.

Shadow Assassin!

"Be careful, he is controlled by the dark forces!" The Messenger of Light exclaimed, and the scepter in his hand emitted a soft light, trying to dispel the dark aura shrouding the Shadow Assassin.

However, the light was like a drop in the ocean and did not affect him at all.

As they stepped into the mist, a strange force began to erode their bodies.

The Star Knight felt his strength draining away like water; his movements of swinging the greatsword became slow and weak.

Even he, who was always brave and fearless, couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Clinda felt dizzy and her face turned pale as she struggled to support herself.

"My ability... has been suppressed..." she said weakly.

The others also looked troubled, and it was obvious that they were all affected to varying degrees.

The Guardian of Blue Star said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with this fog." He tried to condense an energy shield, but found that the energy flow was abnormally sluggish.

He has always been resolute, but at this moment he is a little flustered.

The Nebula Sage frowned as he carefully observed the fog around him, trying to find out the mystery.

However, the fog was unpredictable, as if it had its own life, making it difficult for him to grasp it for a while.

"Hmph, a bunch of guys who overestimate their own abilities." A sharp voice came from the depths of the fog, and then a skinny figure appeared in front of everyone. It was the Dark Lord's follower.

"Do you think you can get close to the guardian of the maze? That's wishful thinking!" He said arrogantly, with contempt in his eyes.

The Dark Lord slowly walked out of the fog. His tall figure cast a huge shadow, like an insurmountable mountain, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

He looked at everyone, a cruel smile on his face: "You will all become my sacrifices!"

The red-robed wizard also appeared. He glanced at everyone, and a hint of barely perceptible worry flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Master, these ants are nothing to worry about." He said respectfully to the Dark Lord.

The green elf smiled contemptuously, his eyes sweeping over everyone as if he was looking at a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

"You guys think you can challenge the master's authority? That's ridiculous."

Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth. He knew that they were now at an absolute disadvantage.

But he did not give up. He clenched the weapon in his hand and looked at the Dark Lord with a firm gaze: "We will not give up! Even if we die, we will fight to the death!"

The messenger of light walked up to Zhang Cheng, gently held his hand, and gave him silent support.

The star spirit suddenly let out a sharp cry, and everyone felt a flash before their eyes...

After the star spirits cried, the world seemed to stand still for a moment.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a starry space. The fog was still there, but it no longer had any corrosive power.

"Is this... the realm of the Star Spirits?" The Nebula Sage muttered to himself. He looked up at the starry sky, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

"So that's it. This mist is not ordinary fog, but is made up of a special kind of magic rune!"

The Nebula Sage sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and began to analyze the runes in the mist.

Others looked around vigilantly, prepared for any danger that might arise at any time.

The Dark Lord and his gang seemed to be shocked by this sudden change and did not act rashly for a while.

As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Nebula Sage, but he was still concentrating on studying the runes.

Finally, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in them.

"Found it! There is a fatal flaw in the arrangement of these runes!"

He quickly told the Star Spirit the solution, and the Star Spirit let out a crisp cry. The starlight began to flow, and the fog began to roll violently, as if it was hit by some force.

"What's going on?" The Dark Lord's face changed. He felt his power was weakening.

"Damn it!" The red-robed wizard also exclaimed, and the light of the staff in his hand dimmed, obviously affected.

The green elf turned pale with fear. She clutched the sleeve of the red wizard tightly and trembled.

As the fog dissipated, the surrounding scene gradually became clear. The Shadow Assassin stood stiffly in place, and the green light flickering in his empty eye sockets gradually extinguished.

"The opportunity has come!" The Star Knight roared. He was the first to rush out of the Protoss's territory, waving his weapon, and rushed towards the Dark Lord like a flash of lightning.

"No matter what danger there is, it can't stop us!"

The heroic act of the interstellar knight inspired everyone, and they rushed out of the fog and launched a fierce attack on the enemy. The messenger of light walked to Zhang Cheng...

The messenger of light walked up to Zhang Cheng, took out a white handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The starlight fell and reflected on her gentle eyebrows and eyes, as if she was coated with a layer of holy light.

Zhang Cheng's eyes fell on her focused expression, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

In this maze full of dangers, this simple action made him feel an unprecedented sense of security and tranquility.

He gently squeezed the Lightbringer's hand and smiled at her gratefully.

There was no need for much words between the two. The moment their eyes met, their feelings for each other quietly warmed up in this subtle action.

Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from the shadow of the maze, breaking the brief silence.

The Shadow Assassin, like a ghostly figure, the sharp blade in his hand flashed with cold light, and rushed straight towards the Nebula Sage.

He knew that if he got rid of this wise man, no one else would be able to crack the maze.

"Be careful!" Zhang Cheng shouted.

Star Knight and Blue Star Guardian reacted quickly, blocking the Nebula Sage almost the moment the Shadow Assassin appeared.

The interstellar knight wielded the energy sword in his hand. The sword light was like a rainbow, and it collided with the shadow assassin's sharp blade, making a harsh metal collision sound.

The Blue Star Guardian summoned an energy shield to protect the Nebula Sage behind him.

The Shadow Assassin's attacks are treacherous and varied. Sometimes he hides in the shadows, and sometimes he suddenly appears to launch a fatal blow.

But he was facing experienced interstellar knights and blue star guardians with strong defense.

The attacks of the Star Knight were like a violent storm, making it difficult for the Shadow Assassin to breathe, but the energy shield of the Blue Star Guardian was unbreakable, neutralizing the attacks of the Shadow Assassin one by one.

The two cooperated well, both offensively and defensively, and gradually gained the upper hand.

In the distance, the red-robed wizard watched the fierce battle, the staff in his hand shining.

"This is too slow, let me end this battle!" He raised his staff high, ready to release a powerful attack spell.

"Wait!" The green elf grabbed the sleeve of the red wizard, "Your spell is too powerful. What if you accidentally hurt one of our own people?"

The red-robed wizard frowned, "Womanly kindness! Now is not the time to worry about these things!"

"You..." The green elf's voice was trembling, "Could you..."

"What do you mean by 'you'? I know my limits!" The red-robed wizard shook off the green-robed elf's hand, and the red light on the top of the staff became more and more dazzling.

The green elf bit her lip, a determination flashed in her eyes, she quickly chanted a spell, and a green barrier appeared around the Star Knight and the Blue Star Guardian.

"At least this will protect them!"

The red-robed wizard snorted coldly, ignored the green-robed elf, and pointed his staff at the shadow assassin.

A pillar of blazing fire burst out from the top of the staff and headed straight for the Shadow Assassin.

The shadow assassin reacted quickly and dodged the attack. The pillar of fire hit the wall of the maze, and gravel flew everywhere.

At this moment, a cold atmosphere spread out, and the light in the maze seemed to dim a little.

The figure of the Dark Lord slowly appeared beside the Shadow Assassin, and he was surrounded by black mist, which was chilling.

"It looks like my little pet could use some help." He said in a low voice with a hint of teasing.

The shadow assassin bowed slightly to show his submission.

The Dark Lord raised his hand, and a stream of black energy was injected into the Shadow Assassin's body. The scars on the Shadow Assassin's body healed quickly, and his aura became even stronger.

"Damn it!" The interstellar knight cursed, and the energy sword in his hand shone brighter.

He felt a strong sense of oppression. The power of this dark lord far exceeded that of the previous shadow assassin.

Zhang Cheng observed the situation calmly, his brain working rapidly.

He had to come up with a way to deal with the crisis at hand.

He turned to look at the Nebula Sage, "Sage, is there any way to restrain the power of darkness?"

The Nebula Sage frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "The purifying power of the Light Messenger may be effective, but it takes time to prepare." He looked at the Light Messenger, "Light Messenger, how long will it take you?"

The Light Messenger took a deep breath and began to gather holy light in his hands. "Give me a minute."

One minute seems so long at this moment.

The power of darkness surged like a tide, and the shadow assassins were looming in the darkness. Everyone stared at them nervously, not knowing from which direction they would attack.

Zhang Cheng clenched the weapon in his hand, his eyes firm, "No matter what, we have to hold on for this minute!" He whispered, his tone full of determination.

"Prepare..."
