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

After saying this, Mira raised the sacred object in her hand—a heart stone emitting a warm glow. Suddenly, a gentle yet extremely powerful force spread out, dispelling a lot of evil aura. "Quick, take this opportunity to strike back!"

Seeing this change, the old man who had been watching the battle for a long time couldn't help but sigh to the young man beside him: "This is really shocking. Those young men and women were able to summon so many helpers. It seems that this war is far more complicated than I imagined."

The young man stared intently at the center of the battlefield. "Yes, I've never seen such a spectacular scene in my life. I really want to know if they can win in the end."

Meanwhile, the situation in the city gradually stabilized. Hearing the deafening roar of battle in the distance, people began to ask each other for information: "Have you heard? It seems someone is fighting for us outside."

"Oh, that's great. What if we don't be strong? We have to cheer them up." Another lady said with clenched fists, her tone full of admiration and respect.

The boy had completely lost his initial composure, his expression grimacing as if tears were dripping from his eyes. "How is this possible... My plan was flawless... How could these people have overcome so many obstacles to get here..." he questioned himself through gritted teeth.

Noticing their master's unusual mood, the subordinates in black stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't worry, young master. We will help you solve your problems right away." After saying that, they rushed towards the enemy who had reorganized their offensive.

Just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, something unexpected happened: a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a continuous stream of dark energy poured out from it, forming a huge vortex. The little boy watched this scene, his eyes becoming enthusiastic: "Haha, finally... it's finally opened! Now even if you want to run, it's too late!"

Aiden and the others looked at the phenomenon above and couldn't help but exclaim in unison: "That is..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several huge shadows emerged from the gap, their forms much larger than any of the creatures before. "Oh no, everyone, be careful—!"

As a new round of battle was about to begin, the little girl hugged her mother tightly again: "Mommy, I'm so scared... When will these monsters disappear..."

The mother comforted her daughter's trembling body and silently prayed for the warriors' triumphant return: "Believe me, my dear, justice will always overcome difficulties. As long as you move forward bravely."

And amidst this suspense, the story of the future still waits to be written... Aiden watched the massive shadow emerge from the crack in the sky, his sense of crisis reaching an unprecedented level. Despite this, he forced himself to remain calm. "Everyone, listen! No matter what happens next, we must not retreat!" he shouted, his gaze sweeping across each of his comrades. "Remember why you fight—to protect our homes, our loved ones, and all those we love."

At this moment, a hint of fear flashed across the faces of many soldiers present, but it was quickly replaced by determination. An elderly veteran stood up and said, "Yes, young men! Have you forgotten our oath? Even if it means sacrifice, we must drive darkness from this land." His powerful words inspired everyone present.

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a showdown, a little girl, previously hidden in the crowd, suddenly ran over. "Big Brother, Big Sister, please defeat those bad guys!" She looked up at Mira and the other warriors, holding a few freshly picked flowers. "Here are some lucky charms for you. I hope they can help!"

Leah took the flowers from the little girl and stroked her hair gently: "Don't worry, little sister. With your blessing, victory will definitely belong to us." After that, she carefully pinned the flowers on her lapel as decoration.

Seeing this, the villagers who had been watching from the sidelines also applauded: "That's right, that's right! Come on, everyone! With these brave men as our backing, light will surely triumph over evil!"

As shouts of encouragement rose, the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly heated up. However, the little boy, visibly agitated by this show of solidarity, grew increasingly agitated. "How annoying... Be quiet!" he said, waving his arms again, ready to unleash even more terrifying magic. But before he could fully unleash his spell, Aiden and Gavin, who had been poised for a long time, launched their attack.

Like tigers, the two heroes charged forward toward the enemy's core. "You have nowhere to escape. Accept the judgment!" Gavin swung his hammer and slammed it down on his target. Meanwhile, Aiden nimbly dodged the enemy's counterattacks and stabbed the weak spot with his longsword.

Caught off guard by the sudden and intense attack, the boy could only barely hold up a defensive barrier to ward off the damage. However, due to insufficient strength, it quickly gave way and shattered. "Ah—" With a scream, he was sent flying to the ground. "Impossible... Why did I lose?" the boy said in disbelief as he collapsed.

"Because evil will never be the equal of justice," Aiden said as he slowly approached, pressing the tip of his sword against the boy's neck, immobilizing him. "Give up! If you surrender now, while there's still a glimmer of hope, you might even be forgiven."

Just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, something strange happened: the huge shadows that had appeared due to the spatial rift suddenly accelerated towards them, as if guided by some mysterious force, and pounced directly at the little boy. "Oh no! Watch out!!" someone shouted in fear.

At this critical moment, the old mage Thrall, who had previously been absent from the battle but had been keeping a close eye on the situation, finally couldn't help but intervene and intervene. "By the wind god, summon a celestial hurricane in my name." As soon as he finished speaking, a violent storm erupted from the ground, sweeping away a shadow creature that had attempted to attack. Meanwhile, several others had managed to approach the center of the battlefield.

"Quick, everyone gather! We must evacuate to a safe area immediately." Realizing the dire situation, Thrall immediately gave the order. Aiden also understood the urgency of the situation and did not hesitate. "Follow the instructions and evacuate as soon as possible."

Just as everyone was retreating in an orderly manner according to plan, the little boy suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahahaha... So what if we fail? I'm the heir to a legacy left by my ancestors. As long as I possess 'that thing,' sooner or later, I'll plunge the entire world into fear..." Though his voice was weak, it still revealed a determination and madness that could not be ignored.
