Chapter 288 The Villain Lady Arrives 116

"We, the Church of Light, have already given a reasonable explanation for the accident," Alice said in a calm and firm voice. "Someone was secretly sabotaging and trying to frame us. We have been investigating the truth and will never allow any slanderous remarks against our reputation to spread."

"Haha, how ridiculous," the leader of the men in black laughed loudly, his laughter full of disdain and ridicule, "Your so-called explanation is nothing but an excuse to cover up the truth. I think you should save your energy. Today, let us, the Dark Temple, completely deal with this so-called 'light'!"

After saying that, he waved his hand fiercely, and the rest of the men in black immediately dispersed and surrounded Alice and Aidan. The weapons in their hands flashed with a dark light, as if they would devour the pair at any time.

Aidan took a deep breath and gathered all the strength in his body onto the tip of the sword, preparing for the upcoming battle. He knew that this battle was not only about their personal life and death, but also about the contest between light and darkness, and the fate of the entire continent.

"Alice, step back," he whispered to Alice, "Leave this to me."

Alice shook her head, her eyes firm. "No, Aidan, I want to fight alongside you. We are messengers of the Church of Light, and we must not fall here."

Seeing this, the leader of the men in black raised a cruel smile. "It seems that you two really have deep feelings for each other. However, in the face of absolute strength, these emotions are nothing but useless burdens."

After saying that, he waved his hand fiercely, and the men in black immediately launched an attack. Sword lights, arrows, and magic lights intertwined together, turning the originally peaceful market into a battlefield. Aidan and Alice stood back to back, cooperating tacitly to resist the attacks from all directions.

Aidan's swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and each of his swordsmen repelled the enemy's attacks just right. With his extraordinary martial arts and rich combat experience, he cut a bloody path among the enemies. Alice used her divine power to provide Aidan with constant support. Her prayers were like the sound of nature, constantly healing Aidan's wounds and injecting him with powerful strength.

However, the black-clad men in the Dark Temple were no ordinary people. They were all very skilled and seemed to know the abilities of Alice and Aidan very well. They kept changing their tactics and attack methods, trying to find the flaws of the two.

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides paid a heavy price. Alice and Aidan's clothes were stained with blood, but their eyes were still firm and blazing. They knew that there was no way out in this battle, and they could only fight to the utmost to win.

At this moment, an unexpected incident occurred. A man in black attacked Aidan from behind when he was not prepared. Aidan was hit in the vitals without warning, and his body trembled violently, almost falling to the ground.

"Aidan!" Alice exclaimed, and hurried forward to support him. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and anger, "You bunch of despicable villains!"

The leader of the men in black laughed triumphantly. "Humph, this is the fate of your Church of Light. From today on, the world will see the true strength of our Dark Temple!"

Alice held Aidan tightly, her eyes were filled with anger and indomitable will, as if she was about to burst into flames and devour the darkness. She whispered in Aidan's ear:

"Hold on, Aidan, we won't end like this." Her voice was soft, but full of determination and strength, as if it could penetrate all the darkness and give Aidan endless courage.

Aidan endured the severe pain and curled up a bitter smile. He looked at Alice, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

"Alice, don't worry about me. Go quickly and inform the church. We can't let the Dark Temple's conspiracy succeed." Although his voice was weak, it revealed an unquestionable determination.

"No, I will never abandon you!" Alice's voice was resolute and firm. She clenched her hands, and the sacred power gathered in her palms, forming a dazzling light, trying to dispel the darkness and despair around her. At this moment, she was not only Aidan's partner, but also his only support.

When the leader of the men in black saw this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, which was then replaced by deeper ridicule.

"Huh, what a touching scene. However, in the face of absolute strength, these emotions will only make you more painful." He waved his hand and gave orders, and more men in black came like a tide, and their offensive became more fierce.

Alice and Aidan stood back to back, their breathing heavy and rapid, but their mutual understanding became deeper. Alice continued to cast sacred magic to heal Aidan's injuries, while also repelling the approaching enemies as much as possible. Every time she prayed, her heart trembled, as if she was talking to the gods, praying for more strength and protection.

Aidan, with his tenacious will and superb swordsmanship, fought a desperate battle with the enemy. His swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and each sword contained endless anger and indomitable spirit, as if he wanted to cut off all the darkness with his sword.

However, as time went on, his physical strength and power were gradually exhausted, his wounds continued to increase, and blood stained his clothes and the battlefield red.

"Alice, go quickly..." Aidan urged again in a low voice. His voice was already barely audible, but the persistence and determination in his voice were even clearer.

"No!" Alice responded almost roaring, "We are messengers of the Church of Light. We must be together no matter life or death!" Her words were full of determination and tragedy, as if she was ready to die with Aidan.

At this moment, a figure in a black robe slowly walked out from the group of black-clad men. His face was hidden under the shadow of his hood, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with cold light. He slowly walked in front of Alice and Aidan, and said in a cold and arrogant tone:

"In the battle between light and darkness, there has never been a true winner. But today, you will witness the victory of darkness."

Alice looked up at the mysterious man in black robe, her eyes full of vigilance and anger.

"Who are you? The leader of the Dark Temple?"

The black-robed man chuckled and did not directly answer her question. "I am the messenger of the Dark Temple and the terminator of this battle. You have tried your best, but unfortunately, you still cannot stop the coming of darkness."

Aidan struggled to stand up, but eventually fell powerlessly into Alice's arms. He looked at the man in black robes, with a trace of unwillingness and despair in his eyes. "Darkness... can never swallow up light..." His voice was weak but firm, as if he was declaring his belief to the whole world.

The black-robed man sneered and waved his hand to signal the black-clothed men to come forward. The black-clothed men quickly surrounded Alice and Aidan, their weapons flashing with a dark light, ready to give the pair the final blow.
