Kalle's gaze was as sharp as a blade as he stared directly at Ezer. He had never felt such turmoil in his heart before. Every path before him seemed so blurred, as if everything was happening under the mockery of fate. The King of the Wolf Spirit, the Shadow Envoys, the power of the abyss, and even the hidden bloodline within himself were like intertwined chains, restricting every one of his choices.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but the restlessness in his heart couldn't be suppressed. He wanted to know the answers and figure out the whole truth—but he also knew that behind each question, there might be a deeper darkness waiting for him.
"What exactly are those ancient existences you mentioned? Who are we going to face?" Kalle's voice was low and firm, but the tension in it was hard to hide.
A trace of complex emotion flashed in Ezer's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "The enemies in front of you are far more terrifying than the Shadow Envoys. They come from the abyss. The existences in the abyss are even more powerful than the power of the King of the Wolf Spirit. Your choices will determine the direction of the future."
Kalle's heart tightened. He finally realized that his fate had long been guided by some invisible force and he couldn't break free. "The abyss... Why are these dark forces so powerful?" Kalle asked with difficulty.
"Because they originate from ancient times," Ezer said slowly, a complex glint flickering in his eyes. "The ancient darkness and chaos have not disappeared but have just been asleep for a long time. When they wake up again, they will tear everything apart."
At this moment, the voice of the King of the Wolf Spirit rang out coldly. "Ezer is right. What you are facing is a war that cannot be avoided. And you, Kalle, are destined to play an important role in it."
"I don't believe it," Kalle gripped his long sword tightly, and the determination in his eyes was stronger than ever. "If this is really my fate, then I'd rather challenge it." He raised his head, his eyes filled with uncompromising firmness.
However, there was a hint of mockery in the smile of the King of the Wolf Spirit. "Do you think you can resist all this? You're just a pawn of the abyss." His words were full of disdain, as if Kalle's persistence was worthless in his eyes.
Suddenly, the air in the stone hall seemed to become even heavier, as if some kind of power was spreading quietly. Kalle was shocked in his heart. He suddenly turned his head and found some faint lights flickering in the dark corner. Then, a familiar figure appeared.
"Daelin!" Kalle's voice was filled with surprise and tension.
Daelin's steps were steady, but her expression was extremely solemn. She didn't respond to Kalle's call but stared directly at the King of the Wolf Spirit, her eyes full of challenge. "We won't be intimidated by you."
"You're all crazy," the King of the Wolf Spirit said in a low voice. "You will pay the price for your choices."
"I'm willing to," Kalle answered without hesitation.
At this moment, Daelin suddenly walked up to Kalle and gently took his hand, her gaze profound. "Kalle, we've come this far and can't retreat anymore. Even if there's an abyss ahead, I'll walk with you."
Kalle felt the warmth of her palm, and a complex mix of emotions welled up in his heart instantly. Her words made him feel a warmth, a kind of firmness and support he had never experienced before. Although he couldn't fully understand everything in front of him, he knew that, in any case, Daelin was the only one he could rely on at this moment.
Just as their eyes met, suddenly, a powerful force swept in, making the entire stone hall shake. That aura was so oppressive that it was as if the whole mountain range was whispering, low and angry.
"The Shadow Envoys are here!" Cangzhua's voice was full of vigilance. "They're preparing to attack!"
Kalle quickly came to his senses, drew out his long sword, and stood in front of Daelin. The King of the Wolf Spirit, on the other hand, stared down at them, as if he had seen through everything.
"Do you think you can block the power of the abyss?" The King of the Wolf Spirit sneered, then waved his hand, and the power of darkness surged in all directions like a tide.
Suddenly, the gate of the stone hall was violently smashed open, and a storm of black shadows rushed in. Along with it came a heart-wrenching roar. The Shadow Envoys, like ghostly figures, instantly filled the entire space. Their eyes revealed a cold killing intent, and every inch of the air seemed to be shaking violently.
Kalle's heart began to beat faster, and the atmosphere of battle filled the surroundings. However, he didn't feel afraid. Because in Daelin's gaze, he felt an unprecedented power.
"Kalle, we must get out of here first," Daelin said in a low voice, her voice filled with unyielding determination.
Kalle gripped his long sword tightly and stared at the oncoming black shadows. "I won't leave here. My fate must be determined by me!"
However, at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them, causing Kalle's heart to tremble violently.
"You really can't wait," Ezer's voice was low and full of mockery. There was no trace of panic in his eyes, but instead, there was a certain unfathomable calmness.
"You..." Kalle looked at Ezer, his mind in chaos. "Whose side are you on exactly?"
Ezer smiled slightly. "On your side, of course," he said casually. Suddenly, he waved his hand, and the Shadow Envoys in the darkness actually began to waver.
"How is that possible?" Kalle was somewhat incredulous. Was Ezer actually fighting against the enemy?
"Because..." Ezer's eyes became gloomy. "These Shadow Envoys are not my enemies. My real enemy is the King of the Wolf Spirit."
"What did you say?" Kalle and Daelin asked almost simultaneously.
"You've been blinded by the King of the Wolf Spirit," a trace of complex emotion flashed in Ezer's eyes. "He's not only using you, but he himself is also controlled by the power of the abyss."
"The power of the abyss?" Kalle felt a dizzy spell and looked at Ezer in disbelief.
"Yes, the King of the Wolf Spirit has long since made a deal with the abyss, and you're just pawns he uses for revenge," there was a hint of mockery in Ezer's tone. "Your bloodlines are just part of his resurrection plan."
Kalle's mind seemed to explode. His world collapsed in an instant. The answers he had been searching for seemed to be completely contrary to the truth he had believed in. The conspiracy of the King of the Wolf Spirit, the power of the abyss, had already infiltrated every one of his decisions.
At this moment, Daelin gently tugged at the sleeve of Kalle's clothes. Her eyes were full of determination. "No matter what, we must be together and face all this."
Kalle turned to look at her, his gaze complicated. He had never felt such a tearing in his heart before, a feeling that made him extremely painful. The abyss, revenge, bloodline... The truth of all this made him unable to breathe and unable to escape.
"We won't leave each other," Daelin said softly, as if giving Kalle a final strength.
Kalle gripped her hand tightly. Although his heart was in turmoil, he finally decided to stand by her side.
Because in this dark moment, only by being with each other could they resist all the darkness.
