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

Just before this decisive moment arrived, the girl turned and looked at every one of her companions, soldiers, and civilians behind her. "Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Please believe that justice will never be conquered by evil."

After saying this, she and her friend looked at each other and nodded in understanding. "For those innocent lives, for this land we love so much, we will definitely win!"

As they finished speaking, a powerful ball of light condensed in the air and suddenly shot towards the darkening darkness. The controller's figure seemed to be shaky under the violent impact of the energy...

“How is it possible… why… my power is fading…” The Dark Lord’s voice sounded extremely desolate.

At this moment, the old man who had been observing silently spoke again: "Remember, nothing in this world is impossible to overcome as long as you have unshakable faith and a desire for a better life in your heart."

As everyone watched the changes unfolding on the battlefield, a wave of emotion welled up in their hearts: no matter how uncertain the future might be, as long as they supported each other and moved forward together, they would be able to face all challenges...

However, just when everyone thought everything was over, the voice that had once disappeared suddenly sounded faintly - "Don't be too happy too soon, the real struggle is not over yet. Soon... we will meet again."

As the voice faded away and vanished completely, the sky returned to calm, leaving a huge question in the minds of everyone present: What stories will unfold in the future? When will this unfinished battle truly end?

The girl cast a deep glance at the resolute faces of her friends and those around her, then smiled confidently and replied, "No matter when or where, please believe that light will always illuminate every path." With the elder's support, the ultimate showdown between light and darkness finally concluded with a preliminary victory for the Light. However, the Master's final words still hung like a dark cloud over everyone's hearts. The lingering sense of oppression in the air caused many to frown, clearly not believing that this matter was over.

"That energy just now was incredibly powerful! I've never seen anything like it in my life!" a burly man in the crowd exclaimed loudly, and his companions nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I can't believe that seemingly gentle old man could actually unleash such incredible power. I wish I'd known he was there sooner!"

Listening to the people around them enthusiastically discussing the recently concluded battle, the girl felt a mixture of joy and worry. "Sister, look how happy those people are," Xiaoyong, who was standing beside her, looked up at her and said, "But that bad guy said 'see you soon'. Could there really be a sequel?"

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyong," the girl patted her brother's shoulder and comforted him, "No matter what happens, we are not fighting alone. And I believe that as long as we unite, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

Elsewhere, the old man quietly observed the heartwarming yet complex scene before him. "Children, you all did a great job," he said with a smile to the young woman and the others, offering them appropriate encouragement. "But you must not let your guard down. Remember, the path to light never ends... and protecting this hard-earned peace requires persistent and unremitting effort!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa!" One of the friends, chest puffed out and head held high, confidently assured, "To ensure that all our previous efforts don't go to waste, we will persevere to the end and absolutely won't give up even a little bit!"

Hearing these words, a warm feeling welled up in everyone present. Even the most ordinary and insignificant characters were infected by this positive attitude. "That's what I mean. As long as you have a dream, anyone can become great!" A woman selling apples interrupted with a smile. "Look at you, kid. You're so young and you've learned to protect others! You're sure to be a good boy when you grow up!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. Actually, compared to being a hero, being an ordinary person is not bad either!" The young man responded shyly while scratching his head, but he still couldn't hide his sense of accomplishment and pride in his heart.

Just as everyone was immersed in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, the sky suddenly underwent a strange change: the once azure blue sky began to turn a pale purple, accompanied by a slight tremor. "What's going on...isn't it over yet?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

At the same time, a blinding beam of light rose from the distant horizon, as dazzling as the dawn of a new day. It streaked across the sky with lightning speed, hurtling towards them—this was the true final blow of darkness!

"Hurry up and prepare your defenses!" The girl reacted quickly, leading everyone to face the unknown threat while also encouraging those around her: "Don't be afraid, since we're here, we must face it bravely!" Although her words were filled with determination and perseverance, even she herself didn't know what dangers would come next. The only thing she knew for sure was that no matter what the outcome, she would give it her all...

As the strange light drew closer, it could be seen constantly shifting its form, seemingly possessing some kind of consciousness, from its initial arrow-like form gradually transforming into the shape of a long sword. The tension that permeated the air seemed to make time itself stand still for a moment. "Looks like we'll have to resort to a head-on confrontation..." the mage gritted his teeth, his entire body radiating a dazzling white light, clearly gathering all his available energy to meet the challenge.

Just as everyone was on full alert, waiting for the mysterious light to approach and launch an attack, something unexpected happened: the enemy, which had been attacking with all its might, suddenly slowed to a stop just a few meters from the battlefield, not charging towards anyone as expected. Then, the entire area fell into a deathly silence...

At this moment, the massive sword, formed from the condensed beams of light, spontaneously transformed into a humanoid form. A shroud of purple mist enveloped it, its features blurring but leaving a lasting impression—its crimson eyes held an unending murderous intent, making it difficult to gaze directly upon them. "Hahahahaha... didn't expect that, did you? I was merely testing your abilities. So, have you met the standards?" Its arrogant voice echoed throughout the area, causing everyone to hold their breath.
