The air on the altar was so oppressive that it was almost impossible to catch one's breath. The darkness surged like a tide, and every inch of the air was filled with a distorted force. Kalle felt his heart beating faster and faster, as if he would lose all his sanity in the next second. The King of the Wolf Soul sat on the altar, his eyes cold, as if he could see through everything. Through his eyes, Kalle could feel the darkness of the Abyss quietly spreading.
"You've finally come." The voice of the King of the Wolf Soul was full of mockery, as if everything was under his control. "However, your struggle is destined to be in vain."
"We won't let you succeed!" Kalle shouted loudly, his voice filled with unyielding determination. He gripped the long sword tightly, and the blade glimmered with a cold light in the darkness, ready to launch the final charge at the King of the Wolf Soul.
However, just as he was about to make a move, the darkness swept in like a tide and instantly wrapped tightly around his and Darlene's bodies. That huge force made Kalle feel unable to move at all, as if his whole body was bound in an invisible net. The tentacles of darkness coiled around them like poisonous snakes, trying to suck away their strength.
"Your resistance... is useless." The King of the Wolf Soul sneered. His eyes flashed with the light of the Abyss, and he gradually stood up from the altar. The surrounding darkness quickly gathered around him, forming a powerful energy field. "You don't even have the qualification to resist."
Kalle gritted his teeth and struggled hard, trying to break free from the bondage of this darkness. However, his strength seemed to be no match for this darkness at all. Every time he struggled, his body felt as if it was pressed down by a stone weighing a thousand catties, and he couldn't move forward any further.
"Darlene!" Kalle called out in a low voice, and his voice almost disappeared in the darkness. The scene in front of him became more and more blurred, as if he was being swallowed into the endless Abyss.
Darlene tightly grasped Kalle's hand. Her breathing was rapid, and her eyes were filled with fear and pain, but her voice was still firm: "We can't give up, Kalle. We can't give up!"
Suddenly, a powerful force burst out from her body, and the entire altar began to shake. Darlene's body emitted a golden light, like the first rays of dawn illuminating the darkness, and her sword drew a brilliant arc in the air. That force seemed to break through the barrier of darkness, and instantly Kalle felt a moment of clarity.
"Darlene!" A hint of astonishment flashed in Kalle's eyes. He saw that Darlene's figure began to become blurred, as if bearing some kind of huge energy, and was engaged in a silent battle with the darkness of the Abyss.
"Kalle..." Darlene's voice became weak, but it was still full of firmness. "You have to be strong. Let's get out of this darkness together."
Her words echoed in Kalle's ears, like the last call of life. Kalle's heart shook violently, as if he was completely awakened from this darkness. He suddenly clenched the long sword in his hands, and his eyes were filled with the fire of revenge.
"I won't let you succeed easily, King of the Wolf Soul!" Kalle roared and rushed forward suddenly.
At this moment, the King of the Wolf Soul gave a cold sneer, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "Your strength can't reverse fate."
However, just as this decisive battle was about to break out, the King of the Wolf Soul suddenly stopped his actions, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. "Do you think that only by destroying me can you save the world? You're wrong. The power of the Abyss has already penetrated every inch of this world. Eliminating me means leading this world into a deeper darkness."
"We're not afraid of the darkness!" Kalle gritted his teeth and said, his voice becoming extremely firm. "Even if it's the Abyss, we will go through it."
The eyes of the King of the Wolf Soul gradually turned cold. "You're doomed to fail."
Then, his figure disappeared into the darkness in an instant. Kalle and Darlene's hearts beat suddenly faster, and the surrounding darkness became thick again, as if some terrifying force was quietly approaching.
"Let's go! We must stop him!" Kalle shouted loudly, but before he could finish his words, suddenly, the tentacles of darkness attacked again and quickly surrounded them. Kalle's body was once again caught in an inescapable bondage.
"Kalle! Darlene!" Eze's voice suddenly came from a distance. His figure appeared on the edge of the darkness, surrounded by a dazzling silver light. "You have to hold on!"
However, at this moment, the darkness swept in again, like a monster that devoured everything. Kalle's body gradually lost consciousness in the darkness. He heard Darlene's painful cries and Eze's urgent voice, but everything gradually became blurred, as if he was falling into the endless Abyss of darkness.
Kalle only knew that his heart was filled with unwillingness and despair. He tightly grasped Darlene's hand, as if hoping to hold on to a glimmer of hope, a spark of life, but no matter how hard he tried, that dark force still swallowed them up.
In the depths of the darkness, Kalle gradually lost consciousness. Countless memories seemed to emerge before his eyes. Those once warm moments, those days he spent with Darlene, all intertwined in his mind.
"You shouldn't give up, Kalle." A familiar voice sounded. It was someone he once loved deeply—Lin Ya.
"Lin Ya..." Kalle almost whispered silently, and endless pain and regret welled up in his eyes. "I was wrong."
Lin Ya's face gradually became clear in his mind, and her smile was gentle and firm. "Kalle, you once promised me that you would take good care of yourself."
"I..." Kalle's voice became choked up, "I once thought that the darkness of the Abyss would make me stronger. But now, I realize that all of this is just a part of the Abyss."
Lin Ya's smile was still gentle, but her eyes were full of deep regret. "Kalle, your fate is not doomed. To change it, what you need is not only strength but also courage."
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly shone in front of Kalle's eyes. It was Darlene's light.
Although her body was surrounded by darkness, her eyes were still firm, as if she was going to break through all the bondage.
"Darlene..." Kalle called out in a low voice. His voice was extremely weak, but it was full of determination. "I will carry your strength and get out of this darkness together."
The darkness and the light intertwined, and an unprecedented force welled up in Kalle's heart.
