Chapter 290 The Villain Lady Arrives 118

As the battle continued, the guards of the Dark Temple gradually showed signs of fatigue. Their black robes were torn in the fierce battle, revealing the wounds oozing blood, and the original coldness and cunning in their eyes were gradually replaced by fear and despair.

The Knights of Light fought bravely, each swing of their swords was accompanied by a desire for justice, and each ray of sacred magic they released was a mockery of the darkness.

However, just as the battle was about to take a turn, a heavy sound of footsteps came from the depths of the Dark Temple, breaking the balance of the battlefield. A group of black-clad men wearing heavy armor and holding strange staffs slowly walked out, and their appearance seemed to inject a shot of adrenaline into the defense line that was about to collapse.

These men in black were different from the previous guards. Their eyes were deeper and their steps were steady, and every step revealed a power that should not be underestimated.

"Stop!" A leading man in black shouted loudly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice. He waved his hand to signal both sides to stop fighting, then slowly walked to the center of the battlefield, his eyes swept between the Knights of Light and the priests, and finally stopped at the Archbishop.

"Archbishop, you finally came." The man in black said with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you think you can break into my Dark Temple with just this mob?"

The archbishop looked solemn, but he did not flinch. He stood up straight with a sharp gaze. "Darkness can never defeat light. No matter how you struggle, you will eventually be consumed by the flames of justice."

The man in black sneered, then turned around and signaled his men to bring Alice and Aidan forward. Alice and Aidan's hands and feet were still bound by chains, but their eyes still flashed with an unyielding light. Alice looked at the archbishop with a glimmer of comfort and hope in her eyes, while Aidan clenched his fists, as if ready to explode at any time.

“See?” the man in black said triumphantly, “These are your Saint Daughter and Son of Light. They are in my hands now. If you don’t want to see them get hurt, order a retreat immediately and promise never to interfere in the affairs of the Dark Temple again.”

The archbishop frowned, knowing full well how difficult and dangerous this negotiation would be. However, as the archbishop of the Church of Light, he could not sit idly by while his companions were threatened. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger and anxiety.

"Emissary of the Dark Temple, you seem to have forgotten the faith and mission of our Church of Light." The Archbishop's voice was firm and powerful. "We will not give up the pursuit of justice for the sake of personal safety. Alice and Aidan are the pride of the Church of Light, but their sacrifice will never make us back down. On the contrary, it will only make us more determined to fight against darkness until it is completely eliminated!"

The man in black heard this and his face suddenly changed. He didn't expect the archbishop to reject his request so firmly. He glared at the archbishop with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Very good, Archbishop. Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being cruel." The man in black said, and the staff in his hand suddenly lit up with a dark light and went straight towards Alice and Aidan.

At this critical moment, Alice suddenly burst out with a powerful force. She broke free from the chains on her hands and feet, and stood in front of Aidan, using her body to withstand the dark light. Her body was instantly swallowed by the light, but there was no fear or despair in her eyes, but instead she was full of determination and sacrifice.

"Alice!" Aidan exclaimed. He struggled desperately and wanted to rush forward to protect Alice, but his hands and feet were still tied. He could only watch Alice endure the terrible attack.

However, what was unexpected was that the dark light had a subtle change the moment it touched Alice's body. The light that was supposed to cause damage seemed to be absorbed by some force and transformed into a soft light, which emanated from Alice's body and illuminated the surrounding darkness.

"This is..." The man in black widened his eyes in surprise. He couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes. The Knights of Light and the priests showed incredible expressions, as if they had seen a miracle happen.

Alice slowly opened her eyes, and there was an unprecedented light in her eyes. She raised her head and looked at the man in black, with a sacred power in her voice. "You will never understand that light and darkness are not absolute opposites. The real power comes from the inner belief and persistence. Even if you are in the dark, as long as there is light in your heart, you can illuminate the way forward."

As Alice finished her words, the light around her became more and more dazzling, as if countless holy powers were gathered in her. She waved her hand gently, and a bright light cut through the night sky and hit the man in black. The man in black was caught off guard and was hit by the light. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, losing his fighting ability.

"Alice!" Aidan shouted excitedly. He struggled to break free from the chains on his hands and feet, and rushed forward to hug Alice. Alice smiled at him, her eyes full of tenderness and encouragement.

"Aidan, we did it." Alice's voice was weak but full of power. "No matter how big the difficulties and challenges are, as long as we have love, faith and persistence in our hearts, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

The Archbishop also stepped forward, looking at Alice and Aidan, his eyes full of relief and pride. "You are not only the pride of the Church of Light, but also the hope of the entire continent. The strength and courage you have shown today will be forever remembered in the long river of history."

With the awakening and counterattack of Alice and Aidan, the morale of the Knights of Light and the priests was boosted. They launched a fierce attack on the Dark Temple again, and this time they were no longer fighting alone because Alice and Aidan had proved with their actions that the gap between light and darkness was not insurmountable.

In the fierce battle, the guards of the Dark Temple gradually lost their will to resist. They began to collapse and flee, while the Knights of Light and the priests took advantage of the victory to pursue them all the way into the core area of ​​the Dark Temple.

Finally, after a fierce decisive battle, the leader of the Dark Temple was captured by the Knights of Light and the power of the Dark Temple was completely disintegrated. Alice and Aidan were respected and admired by the entire continent as heroes of the Church of Light.

However, for Alice and Aidan, the victory of this battle is just the starting point of their long journey. They know that there are still many unknown challenges and dangers in this world, but they also believe that as long as there is light, love and persistence in their hearts, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
