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

At this time, another patrol team hurried to support. When they saw the huge black shadow struggling to break out of the shell but always blocked outside, they all gasped in horror, "Oh my God, what on earth is this thing?! How could it appear here?!" One of the members murmured in disbelief.

As the young man began to speak in a rhythmic, cadenced voice, everyone present could sense a gathering of energy unlike any before. The air seemed to grow heavier, and even a faint cracking sound could be heard...

At the same time, the sword in Luo Feng's hand slowly emitted a fiery white light, clearly gathering all his strength for a powerful attack. "Are you ready?" He asked with a firm gaze, gazing directly at the vague existence in the depths of the darkness.

"We are ready. Let's work together to completely eliminate this evil force!" The three of them responded in unison, their voices filled with immense determination and courage. Just as the four of them were ready for their final fight -

"Wait!" A sudden, urgent cry came from a distance, breaking the tense atmosphere on the battlefield. A young man with a delicate face and peculiar clothing scurried over. As he approached the four, he breathlessly exclaimed, "Wait... Don't act rashly... I know the origins of these creatures... and how to truly eliminate them..."

Everyone's eyes were focused on this strange visitor. The air was suddenly filled with a sense of mystery and new uncertainty. It seemed that everything had changed its course because of this...

"Who are you? How do you know so much about the problems we are facing?" Xiaoyue asked cautiously, her eyes flashing with curiosity and suspicion.

The newcomer smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a kind of inexplicable trust: "Trust me first and act according to my method. Only in this way can you truly resolve this crisis..."

The mysterious visitor took a breath and looked around with a sharp gaze. "Time is running out. Please listen to my detailed explanation." There was an unquestionable authority in his words.

Luo Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Speak. I hope you really have some evidence, otherwise..."

"What you see before you are shadow emissaries from the Abyss. Ordinary methods simply cannot expel them." The young man, unconcerned with the skepticism of those around him, quickly explained, "To completely resolve these problems, we need an ancient sealing technique combined with specially crafted runes."

At this time, another patrol member came from behind and couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene: "We just found some unusual movements on the edge of the camp. It seems that some monster is trying to invade! The leader has led a large army to fight!" When he said this, his face was extremely panicked.

The young man nodded in confirmation. "Yes, that's another important reason I came here—those were just small groups of enemy minions scouting the way. The real tough opponents are hiding in the shadows, waiting to strike."

"If that's the case, then why are you still hesitating?" Luo Feng, cold and proud yet heroic, stated decisively. He then turned to the new helper and said, "Since you know how to deal with this, please guide us on how to proceed. But I must make one thing clear: if anything goes wrong, I will be the first to take action against you."

Faced with this almost threatening warning, the newcomer simply smiled. He then reached into his pockets, fumbled around, and pulled out a few yellowed sheets of paper, handing them over. "Don't worry, as long as you follow the instructions here, nothing will go wrong. But first, someone needs to help me create the necessary conditions."

Everyone looked at each other in silence, but ultimately decided to give it a try. After all, they had no choice but to trust this man of unknown origin who held the key clue.

Soon, following the instructions in the ancient book and guided by the mysterious figure, everyone began to work frantically. First, the young man recited a series of complex and difficult-to-understand words to activate a special magical barrier. Then, Xiaoyue used her innate perception to locate the optimal formation and directed everyone to follow suit. As for Luo Feng, he wielded a radiant longsword to maintain stability, ensuring no one disturbed the ritual while remaining ready to deal with any sudden attack.

"This is incredible... I never knew there really was such a mysterious technique!" A young man, who had just returned from a supply mission and witnessed the entire operation, couldn't help but marvel at it. Meanwhile, several other onlookers were also filled with amazement. "I used to think those legends were just made-up children's tricks; I never expected to witness such a scene in real life. It's truly magical and shocking!"

"Now's not the time for idle chatter." Noticing a subtle shift in the atmosphere around her, the usually calm, capable, and responsible girl quickly hushed her teammates' whispers. "Everyone, get serious and focus on the task at hand! Our success in overcoming this crisis depends entirely on this!"

An indeterminate amount of time passed like this, amidst countless eyes filled with anticipation and anxiety. As the final step concluded, a rich, pure energy filled the air. The barrier that had seemed so impenetrable was actually slowly weakening, even gradually crumbling!

At this critical moment, a piercing scream suddenly rang out, "Look over there..." Everyone looked in the direction indicated and gasped—they saw a huge, pitch-black figure on the distant hill, like a pupa emerging from a cocoon, gradually revealing its true form...

"As expected, they've launched a general offensive!" The mysterious man's face turned grave. "But don't worry, as long as we continue to consolidate and improve our existing defenses, we can ensure everyone's safety. Leave the rest to me."

"Is this true? Is this guy any good?", "What if he's just bragging again? Won't we all be doomed then?!" A wave of doubts immediately arose from the onlookers.

"Everyone, please be quiet." Xiaoyue, who had remained clear-headed at the critical moment, stepped forward to maintain order. "There's no other option now. We must unite and work together to overcome this! Besides..." She turned to look at the strangely dressed man who was deep in meditation, and continued, "Since he's promised to take responsibility for the problem, give him a chance! We've already done our best and won't regret it."
