Chapter 264 His power comes from that crystal!

Su Chen felt a warm feeling. He knew that although there were many unknown challenges in the future, as long as they united as one, nothing could stop them.

In the following days, Su Chen and his disciples continued to travel between Kamar-Taj and the new base, constantly improving their strength and preparing for future adventures. They knew that the struggle between light and darkness would never stop, but as long as they had hope in their hearts, they would surely usher in the dawn of victory.

After the new base was gradually rebuilt, Su Chen decided to strengthen the defense system and set up multiple observation posts to ensure that potential threats could be discovered in time in the future. At the same time, they continued to recruit and train more mages to strengthen their strength.

One day, while studying ancient books, Su Chen discovered a powerful magic ritual that could foresee the future. He decided to try this ritual to better prepare for the future battle. He summoned Xiaolian, Aliang and Tianxiang to prepare this complex ritual together.

"This ritual is very dangerous, but if successful, we will be able to predict future threats in advance." Su Chen said.

Xiaolian, Aliang and Tianxiang expressed their willingness to take the risk together. They believed in Su Chen's judgment and were willing to work hard to protect everyone's safety.

The ceremony was held on a dark and windy night. Su Chen and his disciples arranged everything in the central square of the new base. They sat in a huge magic circle, holding magic wands and chanting spells.

As the spell was chanted, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder roared, and strong magical energy gathered in the square. Su Chen felt a strong force surge into his body, and he closed his eyes, trying to capture the image of the future.

Suddenly, a terrifying picture emerged in his mind: a dark existence more powerful than Akamanda was gathering and preparing to launch an unprecedented war. Su Chen opened his eyes, sweat running down his cheeks.

"Master, what did you see?" Xiaolian asked nervously.

Su Chen nodded heavily: "We must prepare for the worst. A battle more brutal than before is about to come."

A Liang clenched his staff and said, "No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will do our best to protect our homeland."

Tianxiang suggested: "Master, we need to strengthen our defenses and gather more allies to deal with this crisis together."

Su Chen agreed with their suggestion and decided to act quickly. They started to prepare separately, Su Chen was responsible for contacting other magic organizations for support, Xiaolian, Aliang and Tianxiang were responsible for strengthening the defense system of the new base and recruiting more magicians.

A few days later, Su Chen received a response from other magic organizations, and they were willing to send elite mages to support. At the same time, the defense system of the new base was significantly improved.

Just as they were making intensive preparations, the enemy's army suddenly attacked. Dark clouds covered the sky again, and powerful dark energy surged towards the new base like a tide.

"They are coming, everyone get ready to fight!" Su Chen shouted.

Xiaolian, Aliang and Tianxiang quickly entered combat mode, and other mages also gathered in defensive positions. Dark creatures surged like a tide, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.

Xiaolian cast frost magic to freeze the movements of countless enemies; Aliang summoned lightning to shatter the enemy's defenses; Tianxiang used wind magic to draw the enemies into a whirlwind and destroy their formation. Su Chen raised his staff high and chanted a spell, and powerful light magic burst out from his hand, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

However, the enemy's strength was far beyond their imagination. A tall man in a black robe walked out from the enemy group, exuding an irresistible dark aura.

"Master Su Chen, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The man in black robe sneered.

Su Chen frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the Lord of Darkness, Seraphim. Your time has ended and now is the beginning of darkness' reign." Seraphim replied arrogantly.

Su Chen felt a chill, he knew that the power of Seraph was far beyond any previous enemy. Only by going all out, they would have a chance of survival.

"Everyone be careful, the enemy this time is very powerful!" Su Chen reminded.

As Seraph waved his hands, dark energy transformed into countless sharp blades, attacking Su Chen and his companions. Su Chen quickly cast a light barrier to block the attack. Xiaolian, Aliang and Tianxiang attacked from different directions, trying to find Seraph's weakness.

Xiaolian cast the strongest frost magic to freeze the Seraph's movements; Aliang summoned the strongest lightning to hit the Seraph's defense; Tianxiang used the strongest wind magic to try to disrupt the Seraph's spellcasting. However, the Seraph's power was too strong and their attacks had almost no effect on him.

"Your power is nothing but ants in front of me!" Seraph roared, and the dark energy erupted again, pushing Su Chen and his disciples back.

Su Chen gritted his teeth, concentrated all his magic power, cast the strongest spell of light, and started a fierce duel with Seraph. The power of light and darkness collided violently in the air, erupting with huge energy fluctuations.

"We can't go on like this, we must find his weakness." Su Chen thought.

At this moment, Xiaolian suddenly noticed a flickering dark crystal on Seraph's chest, which was very similar to the previous dark crystal.

"Master, his power comes from that crystal!" Xiaolian shouted. Just as they were preparing intensively, the enemy army suddenly attacked. Dark clouds covered the sky again, and powerful dark energy surged towards the new base like a tide.

Su Chen quickly understood what Xiaolian meant, and he decided to concentrate his strength to attack the crystal. He raised his staff high, chanted a spell, and the light of the artifact shone again, forming a powerful energy wave that hit Seraph's chest directly.

Seraph felt the pressure and tried to resist, but the power of the artifact was too strong. The crystal began to tremble and finally exploded in light. Seraph roared in pain, and his power quickly weakened, but he did not disappear completely.

"You think you can defeat me like this? How naive!" Seraph roared, his body was once again wrapped in dark energy, and he regained his strength.

Su Chen felt unprecedented pressure. He knew that this time they were facing a true dark king.

As an arms dealer, Su Chen's business was not limited to the defense of the manor, he began to participate in a wider range of transactions and cooperation. He gradually gained the trust and favor of some nobles and gentry, which laid a solid foundation for his future development.
