Wizard: Stronger through Marriage Chapter 983 - 447: Divine Remains Shattered
Previously on Wizard: Stronger through Marriage...
Yili groaned, his body unceremoniously sent flying before crashing heavily onto the ground.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, the severe injuries evident on his form.
"Yili!" Liya cried out in fury, swiftly moving to his side to help him up.
However, the Shadow Curse offered no respite, raising his magic staff once more to unleash a devastating Dark Magic assault.
Liya met the attack with her longsword, exerting all her might to deflect the Shadow Curse’s onslaught.
But the Shadow Curse’s power was overwhelming, and Liya found herself gradually faltering under the pressure.
"Liya, take Yili and retreat first!" David commanded, recognizing the imminent danger to the team if they continued this engagement.
Liya hesitated for a heartbeat, but observing Yili’s pained state, she finally relented with a nod.
She hoisted Yili onto her back, attempting to force a breakthrough with her close-quarters combat prowess.
Yet, the Shadow Curse had no intention of allowing their escape.
He swung his magic staff again, unleashing even more potent Dark Magic attacks in a bid to halt Liya’s desperate flight.
Witnessing this, David and Liliana immediately conjured powerful magical barrages, aiming to buy Liya precious time for her escape.
Still, the Shadow Curse’s sheer might proved too great; their combined magic only served to slow his advance, not halt it entirely.
At this critical juncture, a sudden idea sparked in Liliana’s mind.
She swiftly initiated a Dark Imprisonment Technique, intending to seize one of the robed figures as a hostage to leverage against the Shadow Curse.
Her calculated maneuver proved successful.
A robed figure was successfully ensnared, bound tightly by the Dark Imprisonment Technique’s mystical chains.
Liliana focused her Spiritual Power, probing the captive's mind for answers.
"Speak! What is your true objective?" Liliana demanded with unyielding sternness.
Under Liliana’s relentless mental interrogation, the robed figure finally broke, divulging the council’s complete and terrifying plan.
It was revealed that their scheme involved utilizing the Divine Remains Crystal to breach the seal on the "Shadow Gate" and summon forth the Abyssal Corps to ravage the Multiverse.
"The Shadow Gate?!" David’s expression contorted in shock upon hearing the revelation, "How is this even possible?! Wasn't that gate sealed shut ages ago?!"
"Yes, but the council discovered a method to rend it open once more," the robed figure stammered, fear evident in his voice, "They are exploiting the power of the Divine Remains Crystal to shatter the seal and beckon the Abyssal Corps."
The chilling news sent a wave of profound despair washing over the remaining team members.
They grasped the dire implications: should the Shadow Gate be reopened and the Abyssal Corps unleashed upon the Multiverse, the ensuing catastrophe would be beyond comprehension.
"We must prevent this!" David declared through gritted teeth, his gaze resolute, "We absolutely cannot permit them to achieve their goal!"
Liliana echoed his sentiment with a firm nod, her eyes blazing with unwavering determination as she fixed her gaze upon the robed figure held captive by the Dark Imprisonment Technique.
"I shall continue to press him for further details regarding the council's machinations."
Meanwhile, Liya, still carrying the injured Yili, prepared to seek out a secure location for his treatment.
Despite his wounds, Yili remained lucid and utilized his spatial awareness ability, guiding Liya along a secure escape path.
David and Liliana remained steadfast in their positions, continuing their strenuous confrontation with the Shadow Curse and the other robed assailants.
They understood the immense difficulty of their current battle, yet they refused to yield.
For they knew, failure here would plunge the entire Multiverse into utter peril.
Woven into the fabric of their fierce engagement, David and Liliana relentlessly unleashed potent magical assaults, striving to diminish the Shadow Curse’s formidable power.
However, the Shadow Curse seemed an inexhaustible font of energy, his magic staff weaving a continuous storm of increasingly potent Dark Magic attacks.
The team found themselves locked in an arduous struggle, expending every ounce of their strength to resist the Shadow Curse’s onslaught, yet clearly finding themselves somewhat overwhelmed.
Nevertheless, their hope remained unbroken.
They clung to the belief that persistence would undoubtedly reveal a path to vanquish the Shadow Curse.
Then, in a moment of inspiration, Liliana conceived of a new stratagem.
She channeled her Spiritual Power, aiming to disrupt the Shadow Curse’s mental state, inducing a brief period of disarray.
Liliana’s clever gambit paid off.
Succumbing to her mental interference, the Shadow Curse indeed faltered into a state of temporary confusion.
His magic staff swung with noticeable erraticism, and the Dark Magic attacks he conjured lost their former precision and devastating power.
David, seizing this crucial opening, rapidly unleashed a masterfully crafted magical strike directly at the Shadow Curse.
This potent attack, imbued with all of David’s accumulated strength and keen intellect, pierced the encroaching darkness like a lightning bolt, striking the Shadow Curse with decisive force.
The Shadow Curse let out a pained groan as his form was violently propelled backward, crashing hard onto the ground.
He expelled blood from his mouth, his injuries clearly severe. Yet, as a high-ranking member of the council, his inherent power and regenerative capabilities were considerable.
He sprang back to his feet unsteadily, preparing to renew his assault.
But this time, the comrades of the expedition did not grant him the opportunity he craved. Each member unleashed their unique skills and arrayed their specialized equipment, initiating a relentless onslaught against the Shadow Curse. Under the combined might of their concerted endeavors, the Shadow Curse, unable to endure the sustained assault, was ultimately felled and sent sprawling to the earth. "We triumphed!" David bellowed with exhilaration, brandishing his mystical staff in a triumphant gesture that heralded their hard-won victory. The remaining members of the team echoed his fervent cheers. They were acutely aware of the immense challenges this confrontation had presented, yet through their unwavering unity and collective sagacity, they had ultimately vanquished a formidable adversary. Nevertheless, the arduous campaign was far from concluded. It was imperative that they swiftly obliterate the Divine Remains Crystal, thereby ensuring the permanent sealing of the Shadow Gate and preventing its malevolent resurgence.
