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

After receiving a positive response, the mysterious visitor immediately sprang into action, his hands resting on his chest as he passed his message to the surrounding crowd. "Please maintain optimism and hope, and gather all your good wishes!" he shouted. Soon, countless faint lights emerged from the people, gradually converging into a warm, dazzling beam that shone into the group.

Feeling this sudden surge of support, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh, "This is the energy formed by everyone's shared belief... It's truly astonishing."

Aiden refocused his attention on the core crystal. "Now is the time," he said, slowly extending his hand toward the core stone pillar emitting an ominous black aura. "Recite the prayer with me!"

Everyone immediately gathered around and began to chant in whispers as instructed. As the prayers became more unified and harmonious, a faint white mist began to fill the air. Just as everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction...

"Oh no!" A scream suddenly came from not far away, "More shadow creatures are coming this way!" Then the entire battlefield was shrouded in chaos again.

"It seems that the real test has just begun." Leon said solemnly, "But as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome!"

After saying this, he rushed into the enemy camp first, and the soldiers behind him followed to support him. As the battle entered its climax, people were more concerned about what would happen next: who would win in the end, light or darkness?

"We must persevere!" Aiden said firmly, looking at his teammates and all his supporters, "Because we have the trust and courage to rely on each other - this is our greatest asset that will ensure we are invincible!"

At this moment, a raging fire burned within everyone present. Elders, children, and young warriors alike threw themselves wholeheartedly into this great battle to save their homeland... As for what the future held, only time would tell.

As the battle raged, a young girl stepped out from the crowd, her eyes fixed with uncanny determination. "I know I can help. Please let me join you!" Her voice, soft and gentle, cut through the surrounding din and reached everyone. Suddenly, all eyes were on this brave young woman, including those of the heroes already engaged in battle. This incident added a new element of uncertainty to the final battle, while also offering a glimmer of hope. How she would intervene next, and where the situation would unfold, became increasingly uncertain. Just as everyone's attention was focused on the mysterious young man and the suddenly emerging girl, an even more powerful wave of energy erupted from nearby. The crowd exclaimed again, with a young villager shouting, "What's that? A strange light has appeared in the sky!"

"Could it be...an enemy?" another villager said with a trembling voice, his eyes filled with panic.

At the same time, Lin Fan keenly detected a strange aura in the air. "It's not an enemy signal!" She quickly turned to explain to the others, "This force... seems to be assistance."

As soon as the words left her mouth, a dazzling light slowly descended upon the crowd. As the light faded, a woman clad in silver-white armor, wielding a gleaming sword, stood before them. Her face was adorned with a sun-kissed smile, and she exuded a reassuring aura. "I am Leah, the Knight of the Dawn. I have been sent to aid you." Her voice was gentle yet firm, as if it could dispel all darkness and fear.

The crowd erupted in excitement. An elderly man was so excited that he wiped away tears. "I never thought we would actually receive reinforcements from the Goddess! This is wonderful, truly wonderful..." The mother, who had previously appeared extremely worried, relaxed her tense expression and said to the little girl beside her, "You see, light will never abandon us. Brave people will stand on the same side and fight to the end!"

Just as everyone was excited about the unexpected powerful reinforcements, the young man who had offered to help earlier stood up again and said, "Miss, please allow me to join you - I believe we can complement each other's abilities and maximize the effect!" He nodded politely to Leah and expressed his wish confidently.

Seeing this, Aiden finally let go of his last remaining worry and clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention. "Thank you very much for your trust and support. In that case, let's act immediately! First, everyone, please form a circle around the core crystal and focus your minds on transmitting positive energy..."

As the command was given, everyone adjusted their positions, quickly forming a protective circle centered around the crystal. Some children, nervously gripped the hands of the adults nearby, but they all tried their best to imitate the adults and remain calm. Then, a little boy whispered to his older sister, "Sister, can I become a hero like Mr. Aiden and the others?"

"Of course you can," the girl replied. Although her voice was trembling slightly, she tried to maintain a smile of encouragement. "As long as you have a kind heart and face difficulties bravely, that's enough."

Amidst this heartwarming and courageous exchange, the situation on the distant battlefield grew increasingly critical. Countless ferocious monsters launched a fierce attack on the heroic camp. However, every inhabitant of this land knew that retreat was not an option, and even the most insignificant characters contributed their all.

Just when the situation seemed to be entering its most dangerous stage, Leon's voice exploded like thunder: "Prepare for the shock wave, everyone get down!"

Almost instantly, he swung his greatsword, brimming with thunder, toward the sky. A violent wind suddenly arose, carrying sand and rocks that obscured the sun and moon. A series of deafening explosions echoed throughout the air—the vast swarm of shadow beasts that had been charging towards him were instantly reduced to ashes and dust...

But before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate their temporary victory, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. "Oh no! Something terrifying is breaking out from deep underground!" several onlookers cried out in horror. This scene made the once somewhat peaceful atmosphere tense again.
