The Elemental Academy strengthens ties with other factions to maintain peace after the Chaos Realm's rise. Meanwhile, David and four witches explore the Endless Sea, battling magical beasts. They discover an Abyss leading to a new world composed of darkness, where they find a massive black vortex — the Dark World Passage — which they believe is key to confronting the Dark God.

The oppressive darkness was rent asunder, unveiling an entirely new realm. This domain stood in stark contrast to the Endless Sea, existing as pure, unadulterated blackness, devoid of any glimmer of light or hue. Within this profound and enigmatic expanse, an involuntary sense of reverence took hold. They found themselves adrift in a colossal void, saturated with the potent essence of Dark Energy. This pervasive energy seemed vibrantly alive, in a constant state of flux, twisting and coiling into myriad peculiar forms and configurations. A formidable pressure emanated from all sides, assailing the witches and David, making each breath a struggle.

“Could this be the genesis of the Power of Darkness?” Shuili’s voice, laced with both trepidation and fascination, echoed through the Stygian expanse.

“It appears so.”

Clutching the Dark Heart fiercely, David fought to maintain his composure. “We must tread carefully; the unknown and peril saturate this place.”

They advanced with extreme caution, every movement an arduous undertaking. The surrounding Dark Energy teetered on the brink of eruption, poised to engulf them entirely. Yet, this very potent surge of power served to solidify their conviction: this was indeed the conduit to the Dark God’s primal domain.

Abruptly, a deep, resonant rumble emanated from the tunnel's core, sending tremors throughout the entire space. A powerful force slammed into them from behind, propelling them forward. They exerted all their might to maintain their footing, resisting the overwhelming impetus. Once equilibrium was regained, a faint luminescence appeared before them, a solitary beacon piercing the gloom.

A shared glance passed between the witches and David, their eyes reflecting a unified resolve and courage. Without a moment’s delay, they moved towards the beckoning light. As they drew nearer, its intensity grew, culminating in the revelation of a colossal portal. This immense gateway was forged from pure Dark Energy, adorned with complex runes and patterns, each imbued with an aura of limitless power and ancient wisdom that inspired profound awe.

“Is this the Gateway to the Dark World?” Lingnai’s voice quivered, her gaze fixed on the spectacle with a mixture of wonder and eagerness.

“Indeed, it is.”

David inhaled deeply. Suddenly, an immense wave of Dark Energy erupted from the portal, swiftly encasing them. This energy far surpassed any they had previously encountered, subjecting the witches and David to an unparalleled level of oppressive force.

“Everyone, be on guard!” David bellowed, brandishing the Dark Heart in an attempt to counter the surging power. However, the energy’s sheer magnitude proved too overwhelming, challenging even the Dark Heart’s resilience. The witches and David were violently repelled, their complexions draining to an alarming pallor.

“What is occurring?” Hill’s voice trembled, her eyes wide with fear and disquiet.

The witches regrouped, launching a renewed offensive against the portal. Nevertheless, every assault was met with a resolute repulse from the formidable Dark Energy.

“It seems specific conditions must be fulfilled to gain entry into the Dark World,” David surmised, his eyes narrowed in thought.

Following this fruitless endeavor, they departed the vicinity of the Dark World Gate and returned to the Endless Sea Alliance Headquarters. At present, the Master of the Endless Sea and the Dark Guardian were now his subservient followers, alongside the Sixth-Ring Mage Salos, granting him absolute dominion over the Endless Sea. Regrettably, his inquiries revealed that even the Dark Guardian lacked the authority to breach the Dark Portal.

“Perhaps a Dark Witch could succeed,” David mused, his gaze penetrating. Witches, by their very nature, embody the fundamental rules of existence and possess the capacity to integrate the prowess of Divine Spirits and the will of the world. If he could cultivate a Dark Witch, he might harness her abilities to penetrate the Dark World.

To secure a Dark Witch, David journeyed back to the Bright Continent. This land, renowned as a crucible for countless witches and the birthplace of numerous miracles, continued to yield an abundance of witch practitioners over the years, their powers flourishing magnificently.

Upon his arrival, David’s initial destination was the Witch Academy, the recognized fountainhead of arcane knowledge and supernatural might on the continent. At the Academy, he was met with a cordial reception. However, upon voicing his request to find a Dark Witch, the expressions of the resident Elders shifted to one of profound concern. Dark Witches were exceedingly scarce on the Bright Continent; their power, both formidable and a source of much contention, was typically shrouded in secrecy and afforded rigorous protection.

Nevertheless, following extensive deliberation and clandestine investigations, the Elders apprised David that, in recent times, three nascent witches had demonstrated a distinct propensity for Dark Power during their respective awakenings. These individuals were identified as Aria, Lianna, and Nova. Though possessing disparate origins and temperaments, they were all actively seeking to comprehend and govern the anomalous energies coursing within them. David promptly requested an audience with these three witches.Tucked away within a clandestine chamber at the academy, a pivotal meeting unfolded with Aria, Lianna, and Nova. The ambiance of the private room was subdued, permeated by an air thick with both anticipation and a touch of solemnity. David occupied a position at the head of the grand table, his expression mild yet unwavering, as his eyes surveyed the three young sorceresses—Aria, Lianna, and Nova—positioned across from him. A spectrum of emotions flickered across their visages: intrigue, eagerness, and a subtle undercurrent of unease.
