Chapter 721 The Beginning of the End

 Chapter 721: The Beginning of the End

Bennett and Mika stood in the depths of the mysterious ruins, surrounded by an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. After countless hardships and obstacles, they finally arrived at this place that seemed to be the end but also a new starting point.

"Mika, did we really do it?" Bennett asked in disbelief, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue but full of excitement.

Mika nodded slightly, tightly holding the sword that had accompanied them on their adventure, "Yes, but we can't let our guard down. There seems to be something hidden here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to vibrate. Rays of light shot out from the surrounding walls, interweaving into a strange pattern.

"What... is going on?" Bennett nodded and looked at the lights, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

Mika frowned, "Be careful, Bennett, this may be the final test."

As the light grew brighter, a figure slowly emerged from the light. It was an old man in an ancient robe, his face was blurry, but the majestic aura he exuded made people dare not underestimate him.

"You two brave adventurers actually made it this far." The old man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from ancient times.

Bennett said bravely: "We are here to find the truth and save the world. No matter who you are, you can't stop us!"

The old man smiled softly, "Your courage is commendable, but this last secret is not so easy to obtain. You must pass this level of mine before you can truly open a new chapter."

Mika tightened his grip on the sword, "Okay, we'll take it!"

The old man waved his hand, and the space around them changed instantly, and they came to a fantasy world full of fog. In this fog, strange sounds were heard from time to time, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in secret.

"Bennett, follow me closely and don't get separated." Mika whispered, walking forward cautiously.

Bennett followed closely behind Mika, the magic wand in his hand also emitted a faint light, illuminating a small area for them. Suddenly, a huge phantom monster jumped out of the mist and pounced on them with its fangs and claws bared.

"Ah!" Bennett screamed and took a step back subconsciously. But Mika reacted quickly and rushed towards the monster with his sword. The sword collided with the monster's body, splashing sparks, but the monster did not suffer any substantial damage.

"This monster is so strong!" Mika shouted, frowning.

Bennett saw that Mika was struggling, and he raised his magic wand and began to chant a magic spell. A stream of magic light shot out from the top of the magic wand and hit the monster's body. However, the monster seemed to have a strong resistance to magic, and it only paused for a moment before rushing towards Mika again.

In the process of dealing with the monster, Mika found that the monster's actions seemed to have a certain pattern, and there was a short pause after each attack. He saw the right opportunity, dodged behind the monster, jumped high, and stabbed the sword into the monster's back. The monster screamed and its body gradually dissipated in the mist.

"Huh, it's finally solved." Bennett wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could be happy for too long, the surrounding fog began to surge again, and this time, more monsters appeared. These monsters had different shapes, some had sharp claws, some could spit fire, and some could hide and shuttle in the fog.

"This is trouble." Mika's face became serious.

Bennett and Mika stood back to back, watching the monsters around them warily. They cooperated with each other, with Mika responsible for close combat and Bennett using magic to support from a distance. For a moment, magic light and sword shadows flickered and intertwined in the mist.

However, the number of monsters was too large, and they gradually became unable to resist. An invisible monster quietly approached Bennett and was about to attack. At this moment, Mika sensed the danger, and regardless of his own safety, he rushed over and blocked the monster's attack with his body.

"Micah!" Bennett cried in horror.

Mika was hit by the monster and fell to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. But he still endured the pain and said to Bennett: "Don't worry about me, find a way to leave here first."

"No! I won't abandon you." Bennett's eyes were full of determination. He swung the magic wand in his hand more violently, bursting out with powerful magical power, temporarily repelling the monsters around him.

At this moment, Bennett suddenly discovered that these monsters seemed to be controlled by some kind of force. He calmed down, felt the energy fluctuations around him, and tried to find a way to crack it. After some effort, he finally found an energy node hidden in the fog.

"Mika, hold on, I found it!" Bennett shouted.

He ignored the monsters around him and ran towards the energy node. Along the way, he dodged the monsters' attacks and finally arrived at the energy node. Bennett took a deep breath and injected all his magic power into the energy node. With a strong flash of light, the monsters around him disappeared and the fog gradually dissipated.

Bennett quickly ran back to Mika and helped him up. At this time, the old man appeared in front of them again.

"Yes, you have passed the test. I admire your courage and wisdom very much." The old man said with a smile.

"Then can we know the truth?" Mika asked weakly.

The old man nodded. "This world was once shrouded by a dark force, and the treasure you have been looking for is actually the key to completely destroying the dark force. Now, you have proven that you are capable of taking on this responsibility."

As he spoke, the old man waved his hand, and an ancient book appeared in front of them. "This book contains all the secrets about the treasure and how to use it. Take it, and I hope you can save the world."

Bennett and Mika took the books excitedly, and looked at each other with hope in their eyes. Although the road ahead might still be difficult, they knew that as long as they joined hands with each other, nothing could stop them.

"Let's go and complete our mission!" Bennett said loudly.

So, they took the books and headed towards an unknown distance, and a new adventure was about to begin...
