Chapter 331: Chapter 331: A New Crisis
The mysterious figures were quite powerful, and they fought fiercely against Enzo and his companions. However, Enzo and the others did not back down. With their tenacious will and coordinated teamwork, they gradually gained the upper hand.
During the battle, Enzo noticed that the leader of the mysterious figures seemed to have a weakness; after casting a powerful spell, he would experience a brief moment of vulnerability.
Seizing the opportunity, Enzo signaled to Matilda and Kosor. The three of them launched a simultaneous attack on the leader of the mysterious figures. Caught off guard, the leader was struck by their assault and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
Seeing their leader injured, the other mysterious figures became disoriented. Enzo and his team seized the moment to unleash a more intense attack, driving them all back.
"Let's go!" Enzo shouted.
The group quickly left the scene with the Ancestor Meat, heading toward the Rage Temple. On the way back, they encountered some minor troubles but resolved them easily.
Finally, they arrived at the Rage Temple. Enzo and his companions took the Ancestor Meat to a secure location and began to continue their research on its secrets.
Meanwhile, the head of the Pride Temple learned about Enzo and his team's discovery of the Ancestor Meat, and his heart was filled with envy and anger.
"They must not succeed; we have to seize the Ancestor Meat," the head of the Pride Temple declared.
He immediately summoned the skilled fighters from the temple, preparing to launch another attack against Enzo and his companions.
This news reached Mau by chance. Knowing the difficulties Enzo and the others faced in their quest for the Ancestor Meat, Mau decided to send someone to secretly protect Enzo and Matilda.
Mau's subordinates quietly arrived near the Rage Temple, hiding in the shadows and keeping a close eye on the surroundings.
Soon, the members of the Pride Temple arrived at the Rage Temple, taking advantage of Enzo and his team's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack.
Enzo and his companions reacted instantly, engaging in combat with the Pride Temple members.
During the battle, Mau's subordinates discreetly intervened, assisting Enzo and his team in dealing with some of the challenges.
Although Enzo and the others were unaware of who was helping them from the shadows, they felt a mysterious force supporting them.
After an intense struggle, the members of the Pride Temple were once again driven back.
Enzo and the others sighed in relief as they continued their research on the secrets of the Ancestor Meat. Meanwhile, Mau's subordinates remained hidden in the shadows, protecting them.
As Enzo's team focused on their study, they were unaware that a new crisis was quietly approaching. In a distant dark land, a mysterious organization was plotting a conspiracy against the Ancestor Meat. The leader of this organization was an evil man named Zor, who had heard the legends of the Ancestor Meat and longed to possess its power to rule the entire world.
Zor dispatched his loyal subordinates—a group of cold-faced warriors clad in black armor—toward the Rage Temple. These warriors were formidable, skilled in various dark spells.
At the same time, Enzo and his companions discovered that the Ancestor Meat seemed to be connected to an ancient magic circle. This magic circle might hold the key to unlocking the power of the Ancestor Meat, but they were still unsure how to activate it.
"This magic circle is definitely not simple; we need to study it carefully," Kosor remarked.
Matilda nodded in agreement. "Exactly. If we mess this up, we could end up causing a major disaster."
Patricia was busy organizing the information they had collected, trying to find more clues about the magic circle. The reclusive old man sat quietly to the side, deep in thought.
Suddenly, a loud commotion erupted outside.
"Oh no, something's happening!" Enzo exclaimed, immediately standing up and looking warily toward the door.
They stepped out of the room to find a group of unfamiliar warriors had stormed into the Rage Temple. These warriors were the very subordinates sent by Zor.
"Hand over the Ancestor Meat!" shouted the leader of the warriors.
Enzo furrowed his brow. "Who are you? Why do you want the Ancestor Meat?"
"Hmph! We are Zor Lord's subordinates. The Ancestor Meat is our target," the warrior sneered.
Enzo and his comrades quickly prepared for battle. Matilda unleashed her ice divine arts, sending beams of cold light toward the enemies. Kosor brandished his great sword, charging forward to engage in close combat with the foes.
Enzo gathered elemental energy, ready to unleash a powerful attack. Patricia cast supportive spells from the back, aiding her teammates. The reclusive old man began to weave mysterious spells to help them combat the enemies.
These warriors were strong, and the battle was fierce and evenly matched. During the fight, Enzo noticed that the warriors seemed to possess some sort of special defensive magic, making them difficult to defeat completely.
"These guys are tough; we need to come up with a plan," Enzo shouted.
"What's there to be afraid of? We can just fight them to the end," Matilda replied while attacking.
"Come on, let's see who falls first!" Kosor roared.
Just as they were caught in this grueling battle, Mau's subordinates quietly intervened once again. They launched a surprise attack from the shadows, causing significant trouble for Zor's warriors.
Zor's subordinates were thrown into disarray by the sudden attack, allowing Enzo and his team to launch a more intense offensive. During the fierce battle, the Rage Temple suffered some damage.
After a fierce struggle, Zor's warriors were finally repelled. However, Enzo and his companions knew this was only a temporary setback; they needed to find a way to deal with the mysterious organization as soon as possible.
Looking at the damaged Rage Temple, Enzo felt a wave of concern wash over him. "It seems we need to accelerate our research. Otherwise, more enemies will come to seize the Ancestor Meat."
Everyone nodded in agreement and returned to their room to continue studying the Ancestor Meat and the magic circle's secrets. Meanwhile, Mau's subordinates remained in the shadows, silently guarding them.
Enzo and his team decided to delve deeper into the relationship between the Ancestor Meat and the magic circle. They began to carefully observe the patterns and symbols of the magic circle, trying to understand its mysteries.
"This magic circle feels really complex. Where do we even start?" Matilda said, gazing at the magic circle with a puzzled expression.
Kosor scratched his head. "How about we try to activate it using elemental energy?"
Patricia shook her head. "No way, that's too risky. What if it triggers something bad?"
After a moment of contemplation, the reclusive old man suggested, "We could start by looking for records about this magic circle in ancient texts. Perhaps we can find some clues."
So, they made their way back to the library, beginning their search among the numerous ancient books for information related to the magic circle.
After much effort, they finally found an old tome that contained some legends about the magic circle.
"This book says that the magic circle requires specific items to be activated, and once activated, it will unleash powerful forces," Patricia read from the ancient text.
Enzo frowned. "What are those specific items?"
They continued to search through the ancient texts for answers and eventually discovered some clues. It turned out that the specific item needed was a gem called "The Heart of Light."
"The Heart of Light? Where are we supposed to find that?" Matilda asked.
Kosor shrugged. "I have no idea; this could be a bit tricky."
The reclusive old man pondered for a moment before saying, "Maybe we can look for clues in some ancient ruins. We might be able to find the whereabouts of The Heart of Light."
Enzo nodded. "Alright, then let's set out."
They packed their things and prepared to leave the Rage Temple in search of The Heart of Light. However, unbeknownst to them, Zor's subordinates had not given up; they were secretly monitoring the Rage Temple, waiting for another opportunity to snatch the Ancestor Meat.
Just as Enzo and his team stepped out of the Rage Temple, they suddenly sensed a powerful aura nearby.
"Be careful, there are enemies!" Enzo warned, his senses on high alert.
Sure enough, Zor's subordinates reappeared, blocking Enzo and his team's path.
"You're not going anywhere! Hand over the Ancestor Meat!" shouted the leader of the warriors.
Enzo and his companions immediately prepared for battle. This time, they decided not to be passive; they would take the initiative.
Enzo charged at the enemies first, gathering elemental energy in his fist and launching a powerful strike.
Matilda and Kosor quickly followed suit, unleashing their respective spells and skills.
During the fight, Mau's subordinates once again stealthily intervened, helping Enzo's team deal with some of the enemies. However, Zor's forces were numerous, and they continued to exert significant pressure on Enzo and his companions.
"We can't keep this up; we need to break through quickly," Enzo shouted.
While fighting and retreating, they searched for an opportunity to escape. At a critical moment, the reclusive old man cast a powerful spell that temporarily blocked the enemies' attacks.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Enzo and his team swiftly fled, heading toward their destination.
They arrived at an ancient ruin, rumored to hold clues to The Heart of Light. A mysterious aura enveloped the ruins, and the walls were covered in ancient symbols and patterns.
"This place looks really mysterious; I wonder if we can find The Heart of Light," Matilda said.
Kosor tightened his grip on his great sword. "Who cares? Let's search and find out."
They cautiously explored the ruins, leaving no corner unchecked. In one room, they discovered some ancient documents that seemed to mention The Heart of Light.
"Quick, check this out! There might be clues here," Patricia said excitedly.
As they carefully read through the documents, they finally found some information about The Heart of Light. It turned out that The Heart of Light was hidden deep within the ruins, and it required passing through a series of trials to find it.
"Trials? What kind of trials?" Matilda asked.
The documents did not elaborate on the specifics of the trials, only mentioning some cryptic hints.
Enzo furrowed his brow. "Looks like we'll have to take it one step at a time."
They continued deeper into the ruins, encountering various traps and monsters along the way. However, due to their strength and coordinated teamwork, they successfully overcame these challenges.
In a gigantic hall, they saw a mysterious stone door. The door was covered in complex runes and radiated a powerful energy.
"This must be the door that leads to The Heart of Light," Kosor said.
