Chapter 318 The Villain Lady Arrives 147
The battle horn resounded in the air, and Alice's eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed tightly on the giant beast that was about to devour everything. Her voice penetrated the clamor and resounded in everyone's ears: "Remember, we are not fighting for the sake of fighting, but for protection! For innocent lives, for our homeland!"
The warriors responded in unison, their morale high. They knew that this battle was of great importance, but they also understood that it was at moments like this that they could demonstrate their glory and courage as guardians. The staff in Alice's hand emitted a dazzling light, which combined with the warriors' armor to form an indestructible line of defense.
"Attack!" Following Alice's order, the warriors rushed towards the dragon like arrows from a bow, fearlessly and with determination. Their swords drew silver tracks in the air, and every swing was accompanied by firm belief and unyielding will. However, the dragon's skin was thick and tough, and ordinary attacks seemed difficult to penetrate its thick scales.
"Use fire attack!" Alice's eyes flashed, and she quickly adjusted her tactics. She knew that fire was the natural enemy of the evil dragon. Following her instructions, the magicians quickly gathered, chanting spells, and hot flames jumped on their fingertips. The flames gathered into a fire dragon, roaring and attacking the evil dragon.
The dragon was obviously startled by the sudden fire, it let out a deafening roar, and its huge body twisted and rolled in the air, trying to avoid the fatal attack. But the fire dragon was extremely agile and chased after it, eventually hitting the dragon's abdomen hard, instantly igniting its scales.
"Good opportunity!" Alice saw this and immediately ordered the warriors to launch a new round of attacks. They took advantage of the situation and rained down their swords on the dragon. Although it was still difficult to cause fatal injuries, every blow weakened the dragon's defense.
The dragon was in unbearable pain and waved its claws angrily. Every wave was accompanied by a strong storm, blowing the surrounding warriors and magicians all over the place. But Alice and her team did not retreat. With their firm belief and tacit cooperation, they resisted the dragon's attacks again and again.
"We must find its weakness!" Alice kept her calm thinking in the fierce battle. She noticed that the dragon's eyes were particularly bright under the reflection of the flames, as if they contained endless power. "The eyes are its weakness!"
She quickly conveyed this discovery to the archers in the team. The archers understood, they pulled the bowstrings to the full, and aimed at the dragon's eyes. With a command, several arrows shot at the dragon's eyes like lightning. The dragon felt pain, let out a shrill wail, and lost its balance in the air.
Alice took the opportunity to cast her most powerful magic, "Judgment of Light". She raised her staff high, her whole body bathed in dazzling light, and then a huge beam of light fell from the sky and hit the dragon's head. The beam of light penetrated the dragon's scales and hit its brain. The dragon let out a deafening wail, and its huge body began to tremble violently.
"Success!" The warriors cheered, knowing that this battle was about to usher in the dawn of victory. However, just as they were about to celebrate, the evil dragon suddenly roared, and with a sudden jerk of its huge body, it broke free from the flames and light pillars that bound it.
"Oh no! It's trying to escape!" Alice's face changed. She immediately realized that the dragon might have another trick up its sleeve. She quickly ordered the team to shrink the defense line and prepare for the dragon's final counterattack. But the dragon did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, it used its huge body to knock open a gap in the wall, then flapped its wings and flew away into the night.
"Chase!" Ellie ordered the pursuit without hesitation. She knew that if the dragon escaped, not only would the princess not be rescued, but the entire city would also face a greater threat. However, when they chased the dragon out of the city, they found that the dragon had disappeared without a trace.
"Where did it go?" The soldiers looked at each other, all confused. Alice frowned, realizing that things were not that simple. She quickly contacted the Church of Light and Tariq, asking them if they had any new discoveries.
Soon after, Tariq's message arrived. He told Alice that they were obstructed by a mysterious force on their way to rescue the princess. Although they successfully repelled the enemy, they found that the princess was not at the scheduled abduction location. After investigation, they found that a dark force that was inextricably linked to the evil dragon was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
"Dark forces?" Alice's heart tightened when she heard this. She knew very well how powerful and cunning this force was, and she also knew that they would never give up the pursuit of the princess easily. She immediately informed everyone of this information and reminded everyone to stay vigilant at all times.
"We must find the whereabouts of the princess!" Alice said firmly, "No matter how powerful the dark forces are, we can't give up hope."
Led by Alice, the team set out again to find the princess. They went deep into the dense forest, crossed the swamp, climbed the mountain, and finally found the princess in an abandoned castle after going through untold hardships. However, when they rushed into the castle, they found that it was empty, with only a burnt note on the ground.
The note read: "If you want to save the princess, come to the Abyss of Darkness."
Alice knew that this must be a provocation and threat from the dark forces. But she did not back down, but became more determined to rescue the princess. She quickly contacted Tariq and the Church of Light and formulated a new rescue plan.
A few days later, Alice led a joint rescue team consisting of warriors, magicians and paladins on the journey to the abyss of darkness. They knew that this would be an unprecedentedly difficult battle, but they also believed that as long as they united as one, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
In the depths of the abyss of darkness, Alice finally saw the legendary dark lord. He sat on a throne made of bones, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. The princess was imprisoned in a crystal cage beside him, looking extremely weak and helpless.
"Are you the one who dares to challenge me?" The Dark Lord's voice was low and hoarse, full of threats and disdain.
Alice did not back down. She straightened her chest and said firmly: "I am Alice, and I came here to save the princess and innocent lives. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot stop our justice and light!"
The Dark Lord sneered and waved his hand to summon a group of dark creatures to attack Alice and others.
