In that strange atmosphere filled with shock and confusion, the air seemed to freeze.

Kaka, the Cassius whose mysterious veil had just been lifted, ignored the various gazes of the crowd.

His eyes were only on Shen Ying, his gaze as gentle as a breeze under the warm spring sun.

He gently took Shen Ying's hand in his. His hands were long and strong, and he held Shen Ying's hand tightly as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

He took the lead and walked deeper into the ruins. Shen Ying could feel the warmth from his palm, and she felt a mix of emotions.

Eric and Lillian exchanged a glance and quickly followed. Their footsteps echoed in the silent passage, each step seeming to tread on the heartstrings of everyone present.

The deeper one ventures, the more oppressive the atmosphere becomes. Eerie lights flicker on the ancient walls from time to time, as if the ruins are warning intruders.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from ahead, and then a group of huge, strangely shaped ancient magical creatures appeared before them.

These creatures exuded a mysterious and dangerous aura. Some had huge wings that created gusts of wind when they flapped; others had sharp claws that left deep marks on the ground.

Cassius's eyes narrowed, and he shielded Shen Ying behind him. His thin lips moved slightly, and dark magic surged in his palm, transforming into black light screens to block the attacks of the magical creatures.

Shen Ying was not to be outdone. Her hands shone with magical light, and she worked in perfect harmony with Cassius to attack the creatures that tried to break through the defenses.

Eric and Lillian also join the battle.

During the battle, Cassius moved with agility, every movement brimming with power. His dark magic bloomed freely in the ancient ruins, like a mysterious flower blooming in the darkness.

Shen Ying focused intently on dealing with the enemy, her magical light intertwining with Cassius's dark magic to form a dazzling and powerful defensive line.

After a fierce battle, the magical creatures gradually gave up, their figures disappearing into the darkness, leaving behind only a scene of devastation.

Cassius, slightly out of breath, looked at Shen Ying with concern in his eyes. They then continued forward and finally arrived at the core area of ​​the ruins.

Here, a huge crystal container stands silently, like an ancient and mysterious treasure.

The crystal is crystal clear and flawless, refracting a variety of colors. The soft halo spreads from inside the container, as if telling a story from ancient times.

Eric's sealed parents are among them, their figures appearing and disappearing like sleeping elves.

"Look, those are my parents!" Eric shouted excitedly, his voice trembling slightly, his eyes filled with eagerness and anticipation.

The container was surrounded by an extremely complex magic circle.

The runes on the magic circle shimmered with a faint light. The lines of the runes meandered and intertwined, forming mysterious and profound patterns, as if they were a microcosm of the trajectories of the stars in the universe, or a forbidden spell written in the language of the gods.

Despite his anxiety, Eric felt as if he were in a dark abyss, unable to find any rope to cling to, and completely helpless in the face of the predicament.

Shen Ying's gaze fell on Eric, her eyes filled with worry and sympathy.

It seems that in the end, Eric only took away the crucial magical knowledge.

She couldn't help but wonder if, during Eric's dangerous experience with villains, he had no choice but to abandon his parents.

Shen Ying looked at Cassius beside her, swallowed hard, and asked, "Kaka, do you have a way to rescue them?"

Cassius stared intently at the magic circle, his brow furrowed slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Cassius turned to look at Shen Ying, his eyes gentle yet firm: "I will do my best, but this magic circle is not simple."

After speaking, he slowly raised his hands, and dark magic surged at his fingertips like nimble black snakes.

He began to cast the unsealing spell, the incantation he uttered sounding like a mysterious voice from ancient times, each syllable carrying a mysterious power that echoed in the air.

Cassius's gestures changed constantly, precisely guiding the magic to flow along the patterns of the magic circle, like a skilled navigator sailing through a complex sea of ​​reefs.

Eric clenched his fists nervously, watching Cassius's every move intently. His eyes held gratitude for Cassius, longing for his parents, and a desire for the seal to be broken.

Shen Ying, Eric, and Lillian watched nervously from the side, not daring to breathe.

Shen Ying clenched her fists tightly, her palms sweating. She watched Cassius's every move intently, her eyes filled with worry.

Eric's eyes were filled with urgency. His parents were so close, yet they were separated by this mysterious seal. Every second was torture for him.

Lillian bit her lip, sensing the fluctuations of magic around her and knowing how difficult this unsealing would be.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the entire space was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Cassius's forehead. His magical output grew stronger and stronger, and the dark magic and the light of the magic circle collided and merged with each other.

Finally, the seal reacted.

The runes on the magic circle began to flash at a faster frequency, and the light became flickering.

The surface of the huge crystal container developed fine cracks that spread out like vines.

With a soft "click," the seal gradually loosened, and more light shone through the cracks.

Finally, under the tense, almost suffocating gaze of everyone, a loud "boom" resounded, the sound like thunder exploding in the ruins, and the seal was completely broken.

The enormous crystal container instantly shattered into countless dazzling fragments of light under the impact of this powerful force.

These specks of light seemed to come alive, scattering and dancing joyfully in the air like the most dazzling fireworks in the night sky, each one shimmering with the light of hope, illuminating the entire space in a dreamlike way.

Eric's parents slowly opened their eyes, enveloped in the light.

Their eyes initially held a hint of confusion, as if they had just awakened from an endless slumber, feeling unfamiliar and bewildered by everything around them.

But just moments later, when their gaze fell upon Eric, who was standing not far away, his face filled with anxiety and anticipation, their confusion was instantly replaced by the joy of reunion, and their eyes sparkled with tears of excitement.

"Dad! Mom!" Eric could no longer contain his emotions and shouted excitedly as he rushed forward like an arrow.

His steps were somewhat unsteady, yet incredibly firm, his eyes fixed only on his parents.

The family embraced tightly, their hug filled with boundless emotion.

Eric's parents brought with them crucial magical knowledge, the final key to unlocking the secrets of the ruins.

After a brief reorganization, they carefully left the ruins, carrying this precious knowledge with them.

Shen Ying looked back, and the legendary ruins appeared even more mysterious in the afterglow of the setting sun. She thought to herself, with Kaka's help, the male protagonist successfully found his parents and reunited with them. It was truly a triple harvest of family, love, and career.
