Chapter 259 Master, what are you thinking about?

Su Chen's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, worth a try!"

They moved quickly, placing the magic weapon in the center of the ground, chanting a spell, and the magic weapon's energy gradually spread out and merged with the power of the earth. The entire Kamar-Taj began to shake, and golden runes appeared on the ground, emitting a strong light.

"With the power of the earth, light will remain forever!" Su Chen and his disciples chanted in unison.

Light rose from the ground, forming a huge energy column that shot straight into the sky. Erebus felt the power of this force and his face changed drastically. He tried to escape, but it was too late. The energy column trapped him, and the dark giant was gradually swallowed by the light and finally turned into nothingness.

After the battle, Su Chen and his disciples fell to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath. The mages of Kamar-Taj came around to express their admiration and gratitude.

"Your courage and wisdom saved us. We will never forget your kindness." said a senior wizard gratefully.

Su Chen smiled and nodded: "This is what we should do. It is our duty to protect everyone."

In the next few days, Su Chen and his disciples rested and recovered their strength in Kamar-Taj. They knew that there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future, but they were ready to meet any challenge.

One day, Su Chen was browsing ancient books in the library of Kamar-Taj and suddenly found an ancient map. The map marked a mysterious place, where it was said that there was a magical artifact that could give wizards unlimited power. Su Chen was curious and decided to go and find out.

He took Xiaolian, Aliang and Tianxiang with him and set out on an adventure again. They crossed the endless desert, climbed the steep mountains, and finally came to the place marked on the map. It was a desolate ruin, and a powerful magical aura was hidden in the ruins.

"It seems like this place has experienced a huge disaster." Xiaolian said as she looked around.

Ah Liang nodded: "Yes, maybe this was once a prosperous place, but now only ruins remain."

Tianxiang discovered a secret passage that led deep underground. "This passage looks like it leads to some important place," Tianxiang said.

They entered the passage and found it was full of complicated mechanisms and traps. Su Chen used his magic knowledge to crack these mechanisms and traps one by one, and finally came to a huge underground hall. In the center of the hall stood an ancient altar, on which stood a divine artifact that was flickering with a faint light.

"That's the artifact we are looking for." Su Chen said.

However, just as they approached the altar, the ground in the hall suddenly began to shake, and countless runes appeared on the walls, with a powerful dark force surging from the runes. A man in a black robe appeared in front of them, with an evil light flashing in his eyes.

"Welcome to my territory. I am the master of this ruin, the King of Shadows." The man in black robe sneered.

"Shadow King, why are you hiding here?" Su Chen asked.

"Because there is infinite power hidden here, and I am absorbing this power to become invincible." The Shadow King replied arrogantly.

"You won't succeed, we will stop you." Su Chen said calmly.

The Shadow King laughed: "Stop me? You are too naive!"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand and summoned countless dark creatures, which rushed towards Su Chen and his companions. Xiaolian, Aliang and Tianxiang quickly entered combat mode, each casting their strongest magic.

Xiaolian cast a wall of frost to temporarily block the attack of the dark creatures; Aliang summoned lightning to smash several dark creatures; Tianxiang used wind magic to wrap the enemies in a whirlwind and destroy them. However, the power of the Shadow King was far beyond their imagination, and their attacks had no effect on him.

Su Chen gritted his teeth, concentrated all his magic power, cast the strongest spell of light, and started a fierce duel with the King of Shadow. The power of light and darkness collided violently in the hall, and the entire underground hall was shaking.

"You are no match for me at all!" The Shadow King sneered. His dark power erupted again, forcing Su Chen and his disciples into a desperate situation.

At this moment, Xiaolian suddenly remembered the magic weapon she had obtained before. She quickly took it out, raised it above her head, and chanted a spell. The light of the magic weapon spread again and collided with the dark power of the Shadow King.

"Use the power of light to dispel the darkness!" Su Chen and his disciples chanted in unison.

The light dissipated, and the shadow king's figure finally disappeared in the light. The underground hall returned to peace, and Su Chen and his companions breathed a sigh of relief. They had defeated a powerful enemy, but everyone felt exhausted.

"Xiao Lian, A Liang, Tian Xiang, is everyone okay?" Su Chen asked, panting.

Xiaolian nodded: "We are fine, we just consumed too much magic power and need to rest."

A Liang looked at the ruins around him and said, "We must leave here as soon as possible. This place gives me an ominous feeling."

Tianxiang held on to the wall to steady himself: "Yes, we need to go back to Kamar-Taj and recover."

Su Chen agreed with their opinion and decided to take his companions away from this dangerous place. However, before leaving, he returned to the ancient altar again and carefully examined the artifact that was flickering with a faint light.

"What exactly is this artifact? It seems to contain extremely powerful power." Su Chen murmured to himself.

He carefully took off the artifact and felt a warm power flowing through his body. Su Chen realized that this artifact would be an important magic weapon for them to fight against greater threats in the future.

After returning to Kamar-Taj, Su Chen and his disciples got enough rest and treatment. After a few days, their physical strength and magic power recovered a lot, but Su Chen still couldn't let go of the feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Xiaolian asked.

Su Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I always feel that the disappearance of the Shadow King is only temporary, and there are greater threats waiting for us."

Ah Liang nodded. "Indeed, his power is too strong and it doesn't seem like he is acting alone. We must prepare for the worst."

Tianxiang made a suggestion: "Perhaps we can find more ways to fight against the dark forces by studying this artifact."

Su Chen agreed with this idea, so they decided to devote more time and energy to studying this artifact. After a few months, they gradually uncovered some of the artifact's secrets and found that it could not only enhance the power of the mage, but also purify the dark forces, providing important guarantees for future battles.
