Rift: Countdown to Doomsday

Chapter 145 Shadow of Darkness

In the silence of the night, Lin Feng and his companions were quietly approaching a castle shrouded in darkness. This castle was the lair of the dark lord, and it was rumored that there was a mysterious power hidden here that could control the entire continent.

Lin Feng clenched the sword in his hand and whispered to Xue Wu beside him: "We must be careful. The power of the Dark Lord is extraordinary."

Xue Wu nodded, looking solemn: "Lin Feng, I know you have been looking for ways to improve your strength, but this time the enemy may be stronger than we thought."

"That's right," Flame interrupted, "but we have no way out. This castle contains the power to change the world. We cannot let it fall into the hands of darkness."

They continued to move forward, the night wind was mixed with a low whistle, as if telling an endless wail. Suddenly, a sharp laugh broke the silence of the night.

"Hahaha, Lin Feng, I've been waiting for you for a long time." A tall figure in a black robe appeared in front of the castle gate. It was the Dark Lord.

Lin Feng frowned and tightened his sword: "Dark Lord, your conspiracy ends here."

The Dark Lord sneered: "Do you think you can stop me? The dark power here has long exceeded your imagination."

At this time, Lan Ya approached quietly from behind and whispered to Lin Feng: "I found a secret passage leading to the inside of the castle. We can go in from there and avoid the frontal defense."

Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, let's split up. Lie Yan and I will attract his attention head-on. Lan Ya, you take Xue Wu in through the secret passage to find and destroy his source of power."

Lan Ya and Xue Wu quickly disappeared into the darkness, while Lin Feng and Lie Yan strode forward to face the Dark Lord. As the swords flashed, the battle was about to begin.

Lieyan swung his huge battle axe and roared: "Dark Lord, today is your end!"

The Dark Lord sneered and waved his hands. The dark energy gathered into a giant dragon and pounced on Lieyan. Lieyan did not flinch and rushed forward. The giant axe split the dark dragon and burst into a dazzling light.

At the same time, Lan Ya and Xue Wu entered the depths of the castle through the secret passage. Lan Ya quickly unlocked the mechanism and found the source of power hidden underground. It was a crystal emitting a dark aura, and Xue Wu released magic to try to destroy it.

"We have to hurry, the battle outside may get out of control at any time." Lan Ya said anxiously.

Xue Wu nodded, concentrating, the magic circle gradually took shape, and powerful power fluctuations echoed in the air. However, at this moment, a violent vibration came, and the image of the dark lord appeared above the crystal.

"Do you think you can stop me like this? How naive!" The Dark Lord's voice echoed throughout the secret room, full of ridicule.

Lan Ya gritted her teeth and quickly took out a bottle of potion shining with blue light: "Xue Wu, use this, this is a special potion that Lin Feng got from his mentor. It can instantly enhance your magical power."

Xue Wu took the potion and drank it all. The magic circle instantly glowed brighter. As the spell was completed, a dazzling light shot towards the dark crystal. The crystal began to tremble, and cracks gradually spread.

"It's almost successful!" Lan Ya shouted in surprise.

At the same time, the battle outside also entered a white-hot stage. Lin Feng and the Dark Lord fought for hundreds of rounds, and both sides were exhausted. The Dark Lord's eyes flashed with madness, and he suddenly burst out the last of his dark power and attacked Lin Feng.

"Flame, now!" Lin Feng shouted.

Lieyan responded, holding the battle axe tightly with both hands, his whole body was ablaze with flames, and he chopped down fiercely. The battle axe collided with the dark energy, and a deafening roar broke out. The power of the dark lord was weakened by Lieyan's attack, and Lin Feng seized the opportunity and pierced his heart with a sword.

“This... is impossible…” The Dark Lord widened his eyes and looked at the sword in front of his chest in disbelief. Then his whole body was gradually swallowed by the darkness and turned into nothingness.

Inside the castle, the dark crystal was finally shattered by Xue Wu's magic, and the dark power dissipated. Lan Ya and Xue Wu smiled at each other, and quickly returned to the ground to join Lin Feng and Lie Yan.

"Successfully, the Dark Lord has been eliminated." Lin Feng let out a long sigh and smiled tiredly.

"Yes, we did it." Xue Wu nodded, with determination in his eyes.

Lieyan patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "Brother, this is just the beginning. There will be more challenges waiting for us in the future."

"That's right, but no matter what we face, we will keep going together." Lin Feng clenched his fists and looked firmly at the distant sky, as if he saw new hope and future.

At this moment, they deeply understood that only by uniting as one can they defeat all darkness and usher in a bright future.
