I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

As Leon and his team entered a vast, empty cavern, a strange, low chanting suddenly erupted. Countless pairs of red eyes flashed from the darkness, followed by a swarm of monstrous, twisted, and hideous creatures swarming toward them. "No! Everyone, prepare for battle!" Leon shouted, his entire body instantly engulfed in arcs of electricity, appearing remarkably heroic and brave.

Elsewhere, Lin Fan and Aiden were nearing their destination. As they concentrated on finding the optimal angle for attack, they felt a sudden, cold wind from behind. "Beware of sneak attacks!" Lin Fan warned, quickly turning and waving the talisman in his hand, unleashing a wall of fire to block the enemy's approach.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and then the entire space began to twist and deform. "Damn it, they actually changed the rules... What do we do now?" Lin Fan asked anxiously.

Aiden's eyes gleamed with wisdom, and a smile played upon his lips. "There's no need to fear the unknown. As long as we hold our faith firmly, no difficulty is insurmountable. Watch this—" He raised his hands high and chanted an ancient, mystical incantation. Immediately, a powerful and pure force emanated from his body, instantly forming a golden protective shield that enveloped every inch of his body, completely isolating all negative energy from the outside world.

As the battle reached its climax, an old hunter watching from a distance was filled with admiration: "They're truly remarkable... Especially that young mage, so powerful at such a young age... If this crisis can be successfully resolved, I believe the future will belong to courageous and wise young people like them."

Meanwhile, Leon, fighting against the monster horde, also displayed remarkable prowess. Lightning and thunder swirled around him, each attack a force as earth-shattering as the heavens. Onlookers were captivated. "Oh my god, this is truly magnificent..." "I never thought a human could unleash such incredible power." "Isn't this what a legendary hero looks like?" Voices of admiration and discussion filled the air, creating a scene of immense spectacle and intensity.

After a long and arduous struggle, Lin Fan and Aiden finally reached the core of the Heart of Darkness, and a scene unlike anything they had ever seen unfolded before them. "It seems this is the true source," Aiden murmured softly. "But the problem is..." He pointed to a large crystal ball-like object in front of him and said, "How do we destroy it?"

Lin Fan stared resolutely at the object emitting a strange glow. "No matter how difficult it is, we must try. Only in this way can we save everyone." However, just as the two were about to take action, a strange voice suddenly rang out from the void...

"Foolish humans! Do you think you can defeat me so easily?" Then, the originally peaceful space suddenly twisted, as if some powerful will was gradually emerging...

"Not good, the enemy's true form has arrived..." Lin Fan said with a frown.

"We have to act quickly...but...what on earth is this thing?" Aiden responded doubtfully and cautiously.

At this time, the malice in the air became more and more intense, making the surrounding atmosphere suddenly become extremely tense... What will happen next?

As the strange voice echoed throughout the space, the malice in the air was as biting as ice. Lin Fan and Aiden immediately tensed up, knowing that they were facing a real challenge.

Among the crowd of onlookers, a timid teenager tightly grasped the arm of his older brother and trembled as he said, "Brother... this thing is so scary..." The older brother patted him on the back, trying to remain calm, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, we have heroes behind us protecting us."

At this moment, Aiden took a deep breath and slowly raised his staff. "Lin Fan, we must destroy this crystal ball as soon as possible. Do you have the spell ready?" Aiden said solemnly.

"We've been prepared!" Lin Fan replied firmly. He quickly formed hand seals, and a crimson energy condensed at his fingertips. "However... we don't seem to understand the enemy's true situation. How can we defeat it?"

Just as the two were discussing, the old hunter who was watching the battle not far away looked at the two young warriors anxiously but with respect: "Come on! You can't let everyone here down no matter what! If you can defeat this evil existence, you will become eternal legends in our hearts!" His words spread throughout the crowd, causing waves of approval.

"Yeah, we can't lose!"

"They can do it!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Gavin led his team in a desperate effort to fend off the incoming monsters. "Leon! Quickly, use your thunder power to clear the way for Lin Fan and Aiden!" Gavin shouted. A flash of lightning illuminated the entire cave for a few seconds, scorching any creature that dared approach.

Seeing this scene, the female warriors in the team couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this the captain's strength... Incredible... I wish I could be as strong as them." A seasoned veteran nearby nodded in agreement, "Yes, this experience was dangerous, but it also allowed us to witness true bravery and wisdom. I believe that after this incident, the entire village will undergo tremendous changes."

However, at this moment, a series of terrifying growls suddenly emanated from the depths of the darkness. "Not good! Something even more sinister seems to be approaching!" Gavin immediately became alert. Leon, sensing the powerful threat gathering in the air, said, "Everyone, do not let your guard down! Prepare to face an even more formidable enemy!"

Returning to the crystal ball, as the last barrier vanished, a black vortex appeared before their eyes, and from it emerged a figure clad in regal robes and with a sinister countenance—the source of all this disaster: the Night Stalker. A sneer played upon his lips. "What an interesting human... You've made it this far. But, unfortunately, this is your final destination today!"

Seeing this, the old hunter's face suddenly changed. "Is this... the Night Stalker himself?!" He looked at everyone, his eyes filled with worry. "What should we do... He's too powerful..."

Aiden remained calm, saying, "We must give it a try, no matter what. There's no time to hesitate!" He then raised his staff and pointed it at the massive, ominous being. "God of Light, please grant me the power to purify the world of all filth—'Baptism of Holy Light'!" Suddenly, a dazzling light descended from the sky, enveloping the Dark Lord...

At the same time, Lin Fan unleashed his most powerful move: "Firestorm!" A raging fire quickly spread, attempting to completely consume the entire core area...

Just as the battle was at its most intense, an unexpected change suddenly occurred all around them—the originally dark and oppressive space began to become bright and warm, as if foreshadowing some kind of turning point...

Just as everyone waited with bated breath for the outcome of the final battle, a voice suddenly interrupted the duel. "Stop... I've seen everything you've done." With that, a woman draped in white veil slowly emerged from the void rift, emanating a gentle and reassuring aura.
