"Get ready..." Before Zhang Cheng finished his words, the Dark Lord let out a sinister laugh, as harsh and unpleasant as the sound of a sharp knife scratching across glass.

"One minute? Do you think I will give you this chance?"

The shadow assassin's figure disappeared into the darkness in an instant, and everyone's heart tightened, as if their throats were strangled by an invisible giant hand.

The holy light in the hands of the Messenger of Light became brighter, but also more fragile, and was about to crumble under the erosion of darkness.

"He's coming!" The Guardian of Blue Star roared, and swung the huge shield in his hand forward to block.

There was a loud "clang" sound, and the figure of the shadow assassin emerged from the darkness, with the sharp blade in his hand slashing on the giant shield, sparking a string of sparks.

The Blue Star Guardian's body swayed and he was nearly knocked back. He gritted his teeth and persisted, feeling the tremendous power coming from his arms, his heart filled with fear.

This shadow assassin's power was several times stronger than before, and he simply couldn't hold out for long.

"Damn, this power..." The Interstellar Knight rushed forward waving the energy sword, but found that his attack was like hitting cotton and could not cause any substantial damage to the Shadow Assassin.

The dark power of the Dark Lord began to erode everyone's will. Klinda felt that her mind was filled with negative thoughts, despair, fear, giving up... All kinds of negative emotions surged like a tide. She tried hard to resist, and her body trembled slightly.

"Hold on, Clinda!" Zhang Cheng noticed Clinda's abnormality and shouted loudly.

He knew that if Klinda's special ability failed, they would really have no hope.

"I...I tried my best..." Klinda's voice trembled, and she felt her consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

The holy light in the hands of the Light Messenger was getting weaker and weaker. Beads of sweat oozed from her forehead and her face turned pale. "I... I'm almost..."

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating, and the shadow of death loomed over everyone's heart. Even the usually calm Nebula Sage showed a worried look at this moment.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Nebula Sage... He stretched out his hand, and a gem emitting mysterious light appeared in his palm.

The gem in the Nebula Sage's hand shone brightly, and a powerful energy wave spread out, forming a translucent barrier that enveloped everyone.

The dark power released by the Dark Lord hit the barrier, making a crackling sound, but could not penetrate at all.

Everyone suddenly felt the pressure relieved, and their consciousness, which was about to be swallowed by the dark force, gradually became clear.

"Is this... the power of the star core?!" Klinda looked at the gem in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

The power of star cores is one of the purest energies in the universe. It has powerful purifying and protective abilities and is extremely rare and precious.

"You have been hiding such a treasure!" The interstellar knight couldn't help but exclaim, with a hint of admiration in his tone.

Before, they all thought that the Nebula Sage was just a knowledgeable and thoughtful wise man, but they didn't expect that he had such a powerful trump card.

The Nebula Sage smiled slightly and said nothing more. He just injected more power into the gem to strengthen the barrier's defense.

He knew that the energy of this star core was limited and he could only buy time for a short while.

However, the Shadow Assassin seemed to be aware of the emergence of the barrier and its restraint on the dark forces.

A cunning light flashed in his scarlet eyes, and he suddenly changed his target of attack. He no longer entangled with the Guardian of Blue Star, but rushed towards the Messenger of Light at an astonishing speed!

The Lightbringer is in the weakest state at this moment, and her holy light has also dimmed a lot. In the eyes of the Shadow Assassin, she is undoubtedly the easiest link to break through.

When everyone saw this, they were suddenly shocked.

Seeing this, the Dark Lord laughed coldly: "Foolish mortal, do you think you can stop me like this? As long as you kill the Messenger of Light, your barrier will collapse on its own!"

The Dark Lord's words were like a thunderbolt, making everyone realize the urgency of the situation.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Light Messenger and the Shadow Assassin, and a tense atmosphere spread.

"The Messenger of Light is in danger!" The Guardian of Blue Star shouted and wanted to rush over to rescue him, but was blocked by the Dark Lord.

At the critical moment, the figure of the Star Knight flashed and blocked the Light Messenger, and the energy sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light... "Get out of the way!"

The Star Knight roared, and the energy sword in his hand turned into a silver lightning, meeting the sharp blade of the Shadow Assassin.

The clanging sounds were endless and sparks flew everywhere.

The Shadow Assassin is as fast as a ghost, his attacks are tricky and fierce, and every attack is aimed directly at the vital points of the Star Knight.

Although the knight was brave, he gradually felt exhausted under such a rapid attack.

He had wounds all over his body and his armor was stained red with blood, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Every counterattack was with the force of thunder, forcing the shadow assassin to respond cautiously.

The hearts of the people around were in their throats. They were trapped in the barrier formed by the power of the star core and could not directly support the interstellar knight.

Zhang Cheng clenched his fists, stared at the battle situation, and felt extremely anxious.

The Nebula Sage continued to inject energy into the star core gem to maintain the stability of the barrier, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

The Messenger of Light looked at the interstellar knight fighting bloody battles with heartache, his eyes full of concern and admiration.

She gently stroked a wound on the knight's arm, and holy light flowed through her fingertips, healing the knight and stopping the bleeding.

"You must be careful..." she whispered, with a tremor in her voice.

The Star Knight felt the Lightbringer's gentle touch and caring gaze, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He grinned, a confident smile.

"Don't worry, I'm fine! This little injury is nothing!" He swung his sword in his backhand to force back the shadow assassin, his tone full of determination.

Seeing that he could not take the city after a long attack, the shadow assassin's eyes flashed with anger.

He let out a sharp roar, and his body suddenly grew in size again, with his speed and strength increasing as well.

The sharp blade in his hand turned into black phantoms, surrounding the interstellar knight.

The knight's situation became increasingly dangerous, and he suffered several new wounds on his body.

At this moment, the voice of the red-robed wizard suddenly sounded: "We can't delay any longer! We must take the initiative!" There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

The green elf immediately retorted: "No! The Dark Lord's power has not yet been fully demonstrated. It is too risky to attack now!"

The red-robed wizard snorted coldly: "Risk? Do you want to watch the Star Knight being killed?"

"I..." The green elf was speechless for a moment. She certainly didn't want to see the interstellar knight sacrifice, but she was more worried that rash actions would put the entire team in greater danger.

The red-robed wizard no longer paid attention to the green-robed elf. He waved the staff in his hand, and a fireball flew straight towards the Dark Lord... The fireball cut through the air and flew towards the Dark Lord with a scorching tail flame.

The Dark Lord snorted disdainfully and waved his hand casually, shattering the fireball, which turned into sparks that dissipated in the air.

"You don't know your own limitations," he said in a low voice full of sarcasm, "You think you can challenge my authority?"

The red-robed wizard's face darkened: "Even if you are the Dark Lord, so what? We are not lambs to be slaughtered!"

The green elf grabbed the red wizard's sleeve and whispered anxiously, "Calm down! Now is not the time to confront him head-on!"

"When is the right time? Wait until he fully recovers his strength and destroys us all?" The red-robed wizard shook off the green-robed elf's hand, with a hint of anger in his tone, "You always look back and forth, and are timid. When will you be able to defeat the dark lord?"

"I'm not a coward," the green elf said, raising his voice a few notches, "I just don't want everyone to die in vain! If you act impulsively like this, you'll only hurt everyone!"

The argument between the two became more and more intense, and their voices became louder and louder, almost drowning out the sounds of the fight.

Zhang Cheng frowned, he knew that this wouldn't work. Their quarrel would only distract everyone's attention and give the Dark Lord an opportunity to take advantage.

He was about to open his mouth to dissuade them, but suddenly he felt a powerful dark energy rapidly gathering.

The black fog around the Dark Lord rolled more violently, and a suffocating feeling of oppression enveloped the entire space.

His scarlet eyes were fixed on the quarreling red-robed wizard and green-robed elf, and a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you are so eager to die, I will grant your wish!"

A black beam of light gushed out from the Dark Lord's hand and headed straight for the red-robed wizard and the green-robed elf.

The beam of light was extremely fast and arrived in front of the two people in almost the blink of an eye.

The red-robed wizard and the green-robed elf were still arguing, unaware of the approaching danger.

"Be careful!" Zhang Cheng shouted.

At the critical moment, a figure flashed by...
