Multiple Personalities-Chapter 471: Golden Light Returns

Li Baiyu swiftly performed a sealing gesture with both hands, and a blue ice arrow shot towards the magical beast. The ice arrow accurately hit the beast's leg, instantly freezing it and slowing its movements.

"Well done!" Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly. His heart was filled with hope, believing they had a chance to defeat this magical beast.

The man wasn't idle either; he circled to the back of the beast, picked up a large rock, and hurled it at the beast's head. With a "bang," the rock struck its head, causing the beast to emit a roar of pain.

Enraged by the group's attacks, the beast let out an earth-shattering roar, its entire body emitting black light. The black light grew stronger, forcing the group to retreat repeatedly.

"Not good, it's about to launch a more powerful attack!" the mysterious figure shouted loudly. His hands moved quickly, with golden light growing brighter as he tried to resist the beast's attack.

The beast opened its mouth, and a wave of black energy shot towards the group. Wherever the energy wave passed, trees were instantly destroyed, and the ground exploded into a huge crater.

The mysterious figure pushed forward with both hands, and a golden shield met the black energy wave. The two collided with a huge roaring sound, light scattering everywhere. The energy wave continuously battered the golden shield, which began to develop cracks.

"Hold on!" Lin Yu shouted anxiously in his heart. His hands clenched into fists so tightly that his nails dug into his skin, yet he didn't notice.

Shen Jingqi also jumped down from the beast's back, looking at the shaky golden shield with worry in his heart, "If the shield breaks, we're done for."

Li Baiyu's hands formed seals continuously, trying to strengthen the golden shield, "We must hold on; we can't fail here." Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her face turned pale.

The man also clenched his fists, his eyes revealing determination, "We can definitely make it through this." He silently encouraged himself and the group.

Just as the golden shield was about to shatter, the mysterious figure suddenly shouted, his entire body emitting dazzling golden light. The golden light integrated into the shield, instantly repairing its cracks and making it even stronger.

The black energy wave was completely blocked by the golden shield, and the beast, seeing its attack was ineffective, let out an angry roar. As it turned to flee, the mysterious figure saw through its intentions.

"Trying to run? Not that easy!" The mysterious figure quickly performed a sealing gesture, and a golden chain shot from his hand, tightly entangling the beast. The beast struggled desperately, but the golden chain only tightened further.

"Everyone, now's the time, attack together!" the mysterious figure shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately charged forward. Lin Yu picked up a branch and aimed it at the beast's eyes; Shen Jingqi swung a dagger, aiming for the beast's heart; Li Baiyu formed seals, sending a blue flame to burn the beast; the man raised a large rock and smashed it hard onto the beast's head.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the beast let out one final roar and collapsed to the ground, unmoving.

"We won!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly. His face was filled with a joyful smile, and the fear and tension in his heart instantly dissipated.

Shen Jingqi also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his face, "Haha, this beast wasn't that much." His eyes revealed pride and satisfaction.

Li Baiyu looked at the dead beast and also felt a sense of relief, "Finally defeated it. We're one step closer to finding the divine artifact." She smiled, but her eyes remained vigilant, knowing that the King of Darkness's schemes would not stop here.

The man walked over to the beast and carefully examined it, "Though this beast was strong, our unity defeated it. However, we must not be complacent; the King of Darkness will surely send stronger enemies to stop us." His heart was filled with concern, knowing the road ahead was long and full of unknown dangers.

The mysterious figure looked at the group, smiling as he said: "Everyone did well. Now, let's move on and search for the Sword of Light." With that, he turned and walked towards the depths of the forest.

The group followed the mysterious figure, continuing their journey to find the divine artifact. However, unbeknownst to them, shortly after they left, a black mist suddenly emanated from the body of the dead beast. Within the mist, a sinister figure vaguely appeared—it was the King of Darkness.

"Hmph, do you think defeating my beast will easily lead you to the divine artifact? Too naive. I've already set countless traps ahead, waiting for you to walk right into them." The King of Darkness coldly laughed. His eyes reflected insidiousness and cunning, as if he already foresaw the group in a desperate situation.

As the group ventured deeper into the forest, the surroundings grew increasingly eerie. The trees' branches twisted and deformed, like monstrous claws; a faint layer of black mist lingered on the ground, making it difficult to breathe.

Lin Yu looked around, a sense of unease welling up in his heart, "Why is this place so spooky? Feels like danger could emerge at any moment." His steps unconsciously slowed, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

Shen Jingqi also furrowed his brows, "There must be more traps and beasts in this forest; everyone must be careful." He tightly gripped his dagger, ready to handle emergencies at any moment.

Li Baiyu's hands trembled slightly, and the blue light flickered, "This evil aura makes me uncomfortable. I wonder what awaits us ahead." Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, but she still tried to compose herself.

The man walked in the middle of the group, keeping a vigilant eye on the surroundings, "Stay calm, follow the mysterious figure; he should know how to avoid danger." Though a bit anxious, he believed the mysterious figure could lead them through the difficulties.

Suddenly, the mysterious figure stopped, his eyes turning serious. "Be careful, there's a trap ahead," he said quietly.

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up. They carefully looked ahead and saw the ground covered with sharp stones, glistening with black light, clearly enchanted with magic.

"This trap looks dangerous. How do we get past it?" Lin Yu asked, his eyes filled with concern, unsure how to cross this trap.

The mysterious figure thought for a moment and then said, "Stay close to me; I will use magic to open a path." Saying this, he quickly performed a sealing gesture, and a golden light shot from his hand, illuminating the path ahead. Wherever the golden light reached, the sharp stones disappeared, revealing a safe passageway.

"Everyone, quickly cross the passage!" the mysterious figure shouted.

The group hurriedly followed the mysterious figure, carefully making their way through the passage. Once they finally crossed the trap, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was close! If not for the mysterious figure, we'd have been stuck there," Lin Yu said. His heart was filled with gratitude, and he held even more respect for the mysterious figure's abilities.
