The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Intensive preparations were underway in the alliance camp. Xu Tiancai and other formidable warriors from various nations spent their days and nights contemplating the "Star Destroying Magic Formation" within the magic circle, striving to perfect this ultimate weapon for victory. Soldiers sweated profusely in the training grounds, their cries of battle deafening, each move imbued with their resolve to protect their homeland. Mages retreated to the magic tower, cultivating new spells to combat dark magic. Magical light flickered from the tower windows, illuminating the night sky above the camp.

With everything ready, Xu Tiancai selected his most elite vanguard, including Agang, Lin, the Ice Princess, the Man in White, several Shadow Hunters skilled in stealth and assassination, and a Grand Mage versed in elemental power. They shouldered the heavy responsibility of exploring the dark abyss and quietly embarked on this journey filled with unknowns and dangers.

The Dark Abyss, located in the far west of the continent, is said to be the source of dark forces. Shrouded year-round by an endless mist of darkness, it is eerie and terrifying, like a demon's gaping maw, devouring all who approach. The path leading to the Dark Abyss is rugged and difficult, strewn with sharp rocks and swamps emitting a foul stench. The sky is thick with dark clouds, and from time to time, eerie flashes of purple-black lightning flash across the landscape, illuminating it in a pale white.

Xu Tiancai and his companions cautiously advanced through this land of death. The power of the stars flickered in his eyes as he glanced vigilantly around. Suddenly, a deep roar echoed from the valley ahead, reverberating like thunder and piercing their ears. Immediately afterwards, a pack of enormous dark demonic wolves bolted from the valley, their eyes flashing blood-red, their mouths dripping with foul-smelling saliva, their sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the lightning.

"Prepare for battle!" Xu Tiancai gave an order, and the colorful sword was instantly unsheathed, with the sword body shining brightly.

Agang charged forward first, his eternal fighting spirit blazing like flames on his battle axe. He shouted, "Taste my power, you beasts!" With overwhelming force, he slashed down at the leading dark wolf. The wolf, however, was incredibly agile, dodging Agang's attack with a single leap. Then, with its bloody maw wide open, it bit Agang's throat. Undeterred, Agang dodged to the side and swung his axe back. The blade grazed the wolf's side, sending up a trail of black fur and a few drops of blood.

Lin waved her hands, and wind elements quickly gathered around her, forming sharp wind blades. "Wind Blade Storm!" she cried out, and the wind blades rained down on the dark wolves. Wherever the wind blades struck, the wolves' fur was slashed, and blood splattered everywhere. However, these dark creatures seemed insensitive to pain and continued to pounce on the crowd frantically.

The Ice Princess wielded her ice wand, muttering, "Ice for Thousands of Miles!" A surge of frigid icy magic emanated from the wand's tip, rapidly condensing into a thick layer of ice on the ground ahead, spreading toward the pack of dark wolves. As the wolves ran across the ice, their speed noticeably slowed, and many even slipped and fell. The white-clad figure's flute also rang out at the perfect time. The eerie sound transformed into invisible sound waves, disrupting the dark wolves' minds and causing their movements to become chaotic.

The shadow hunters lurked in the darkness, their daggers flashing with a cold gleam. They seized their chance and moved like ghosts among the wolves, singling out their vitals. Their movements were as swift as lightning, each strike a wolf's life. The great magicians formed a magic circle in the rear, their powerful magical rays constantly converging. Brilliant magical attacks rained down upon the wolves, engulfing them in a radiant aura.

After a fierce battle, the dark wolves were finally driven back. Everyone took a breather and continued their journey towards the dark abyss. As they approached their destination, the aura of darkness grew stronger, as if an invisible hand were clutching everyone's heart.

Finally, they reached the edge of the dark abyss. Before them lay a vast, bottomless ravine, a dark fog swirling and surging within it like a solid mass. The walls were steep and precipitous, covered in runes emitting dark magic and sharp black crystals. From time to time, a powerful suction force emanated from the valley, seemingly trying to suck everything into the endless darkness.

"This dark abyss is indeed extremely terrifying. Everyone must be careful." Xu Tiancai said solemnly.

They slowly descended along the valley wall, relying on various magic and fighting spirits, carefully searching for a foothold. Suddenly, a massive dark tentacle emerged from the dark mist and swept towards the nearest Shadow Hunter. The Shadow Hunter reacted with remarkable agility, dodging the tentacle's attack. However, the dark tentacle's immense speed instantly entwined his body, dragging him down into the dark abyss.

"Save me!" the Shadow Hunter cried out in terror.

Seeing this, Agang rushed forward without hesitation, his battle axe raised high, and slashed at the dark tentacle. However, the axe only splashed a few drops of black slime, leaving the dark tentacle unscathed. Lin manipulated the wind element, generating a powerful gust of wind, attempting to pull the Shadow Hunter back from the tentacle. The Ice Princess cast ice magic, freezing a portion of the dark tentacle. The man in white played a rapid flute note, the sound waves striking the base of the dark tentacle like a sharp blade.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the dark tentacles finally released the Shadow Hunter. But this was only the beginning. More dark tentacles stretched out from the dark mist and attacked them frantically. Everyone was caught in a difficult battle, dodging the attacks of the dark tentacles while looking for opportunities to continue deeper into the dark abyss.

Xu Tiancai unleashed his "Starlight Shining Sword," and the multicolored, flowing sword transformed into a blazing sun. Sword energy crisscrossed the air, severing the approaching dark tentacles one after another. "Everyone, follow me! Don't panic!" he shouted, leading the group forward through the gaps between the dark tentacles' attacks.

After a difficult journey, they finally reached the bottom of the dark abyss. Here lay a strange, dark world. A dark liquid emanating a dark aura flowed on the ground, and the sky shone with strange, dark stars. Not far away, a massive dark palace emanated a powerful dark magical energy, evidently the Dark Pope's main stronghold.

"We finally found it. Everyone, be careful when approaching." Xu Tiancai said in a low voice.

They quietly approached the Dark Palace, trying to conceal their presence. As they approached the palace gate, they spotted a group of Dark Guards patrolling the entrance. These Dark Guards were tall, covered in black armor, wielding black spears, their eyes cold and vigilant.

"I'll deal with them." Agang said softly, with his eternal fighting spirit restrained, he sneaked towards the dark guard like a black shadow.

As Agang approached a Dark Guard, he suddenly leaped forward, his battle axe whistling as it slashed towards the Dark Guard's neck. The Dark Guard reacted quickly, raising his spear to block. However, Agang's strength was immense, and with one blow, he severed the spear and decapitated the Dark Guard's head. The other Dark Guards, hearing the noise, gathered around Agang.

At that moment, Lin manipulated the element of wind, creating a loud noise behind the Dark Guardians, drawing their attention. The Shadow Hunters seized the opportunity to sprint from the darkness, their daggers piercing the Dark Guardians' vital points like venomous snakes. The Ice Princess and the Grand Magicians also unleashed magical attacks, enveloping the Dark Guardians within their range. The white-clad figure's flute music echoed through the air, disrupting the Dark Guardians' rhythm.

With everyone's tacit cooperation, the dark guards were quickly eliminated. They pushed open the palace gates and slowly entered a palace filled with darkness and evil. The interior was lavishly and eerily decorated. The walls were adorned with ornaments crafted from the fur and bones of dark creatures, and the floor was inlaid with gems emitting a dark glow. In the center of the palace, a vast dark magic circle, inscribed with intricate runes, slowly rotated, emitting a powerful dark magic.

"This magic circle must be the key for the Dark Pope to practice or perform some evil ritual. We must be careful to destroy it." Xu Tiancai said.

As they approached the magic circle, it suddenly erupted with a powerful suction force, pulling everyone towards it. Xu Tiancai quickly used his star power to try to steady himself and those around him. However, the suction was so strong that everyone was gradually pulled towards the center of the magic circle.

"Don't panic, let's use our strength together to resist!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Everyone exerted their strongest power. Agang's eternal fighting spirit, Lin's wind elemental power, the Ice Princess' ice magic, the white-clothed man's flute power, and the magical power of the great magicians came together, forming a stalemate with the suction of the magic circle.

Just as they were struggling to hold on, a sinister laugh rang out from the depths of the dark palace: "Do you think you can easily destroy my magic circle? How foolish!"

Following the laughter, the Dark Pope slowly emerged. He was shrouded in a black robe, his face covered by a mask emitting a dark glow, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes. He emanated a suffocatingly powerful dark magic, as if he were the embodiment of darkness.

"Dark Pope, today is your doomsday!" Xu Tiancai roared, the power of the stars gathered madly in his hands, and rushed towards the Dark Pope.

Ah Gang also brandished his battle axe and followed closely behind Xu Tiancai: "I will chop you, the devil, into pieces!"

Lin, the Ice Princess, the Man in White, and the other powerful warriors unleashed their unique skills, attacking the Dark Pope. Magical lights, fighting spirits, and elemental forces intertwined, sweeping towards the Dark Pope.

The Dark Pope remained calm. He gently waved his dark wand, and a massive dark shield formed before him, easily blocking everyone's attacks. "Your power is too weak to stand up to me," he said disdainfully.

Then, the Dark Pope began to fight back. He muttered something, and a powerful dark magic surged from the tip of his dark wand, transforming into countless black spikes that shot towards the crowd. These black spikes were extremely fast and contained a powerful dark corrosive force, corroding everything in their path.

Everyone dodged in a hurry, but several shadow hunters were unable to dodge in time and were hit by the black spikes. They screamed in pain and their bodies were quickly corroded by the corrosive power of darkness.

"Damn it!" Xu Tiancai was furious when he saw this, and he exerted part of the power of the "Star Demon-Breaking Array". A starlight shield was formed in front of everyone, temporarily blocking the attack of the black spikes.

"We must find a way to break his shield, otherwise we won't be able to cause any harm to him." said the Ice Princess.

The man in white pondered for a moment and said, "I can use the sound of my flute to try to disrupt his magic control. You can use this opportunity to look for flaws in his shield."

After saying this, the man in white played a special flute sound. This flute sound was like an invisible thread, wrapping around the Dark Pope's magic shield. Under the interference of the flute sound, the Dark Pope's magic shield began to fluctuate slightly.

Lin keenly sensed this fluctuation. She controlled the wind element, transforming it into a tiny wind blade and shooting it towards the fluctuation. The wind blade struck the magic shield, successfully creating a tiny crack in it.

"Good opportunity!" A Gang shouted, his eternal fighting spirit burst out to the extreme, and the battle axe chopped towards the crack with endless power.

Xu Tiancai also used the strongest move of "Starry Sun Sword". The colorful sword turned into a dazzling starlight and landed on the crack of the magic shield at the same time as Agang's battle axe attack.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the Dark Pope's magic shield was finally broken. However, the Dark Pope did not panic. His body suddenly turned into a black smoke and disappeared from everyone's sight.
