Chapter 387 The Villain Lady Arrives 216
Ryan frowned upon hearing this. He had not expected the Church of Light to discover their whereabouts so quickly, and he had not expected them to attack so decisively. However, he also understood that there was no way out at this moment, and he could only face this battle bravely.
"Get ready for battle!" Ryan's voice was low and powerful, as if at this moment, he was ready to sacrifice everything.
The members of the Dark Church responded and quickly arranged their defense and attack formations. Ryan stood at the front, holding a magic sword that flashed with black light, his eyes firm and cold.
Soon, the patrol team of the Church of Light rushed into the cave. They were holding lightsabers and magic wands, waving them and releasing various magic attacks. The members of the Church of Darkness went forward fearlessly and started a fierce battle with the Church of Light.
Ryan showed amazing strength and wisdom in the battle. He nimbly dodged the attacks of the Church of Light while releasing powerful magic counterattacks. Under his leadership, the members of the Dark Church gradually gained the upper hand and forced the Church of Light to retreat step by step.
However, just as Ryan was about to launch the final attack, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight. Alice was standing not far away, holding a lightsaber, covered in blood, and looking at him firmly.
"Ryan, why are you doing this?" Alice's voice was filled with anger and disappointment.
When Ryan saw Alice, he couldn't help but feel a complex emotion. He knew that he had come to this point and couldn't turn back. However, he also understood that Alice was his eternal pain and regret.
"Alice, you shouldn't come here." Ryan's voice was low and hoarse, as if at this moment, he had lost all his strength.
"I can't just watch you go to destruction!" Alice's voice was firm and resolute.
Ryan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You can't change anything. This is my destiny and my choice."
After saying that, he turned around and waved to the members of the Dark Church, signaling them to continue the attack. However, at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred. Tariq suddenly rushed out of the team of the Light Church and blocked Alice.
"Lian, you can't do this!" Tariq's voice was filled with anger and pleading, "We are friends, we can't kill each other!"
When Ryan saw Tariq appear, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt and self-blame. He knew that he had hurt the two people closest to him, and he also knew that he had embarked on a path of no return.
However, at this moment, an even more shocking news came. An envoy from the Church of Light hurried in and announced loudly: "Lord Ryan, your family has reached a reconciliation with the Church of Light! They hope that you can return to them and jointly protect the peace and tranquility of this world!"
Ryan was deeply shocked and moved when he heard this. He did not expect that his family would lend a helping hand at this critical moment, and he did not expect that they would be willing to reconcile with the Church of Light.
He took a deep breath, then turned to look at Alice and Tariq. They showed surprise and relief on their faces, as if at this moment, all the misunderstandings and barriers had disappeared.
"I...I am willing to return to my family." Ryan's voice was a little trembling and uncertain, but more firm and determined. "However, I also hope that you can understand my choice. I do this to protect all of us and prevent the world from falling into greater chaos and disaster."
Alice and Tariq smiled at each other and walked to Ryan's side. They held Ryan's hand tightly, as if at this moment, they had regained the precious friendship and trust.
"We understand you, Ryan." Alice's voice was gentle and tolerant. "No matter what choice you make, we will support you and bless you."
Tariq also patted Ryan on the shoulder: "That's right, Ryan. We are friends, and we will always stand by you, no matter how strong the wind and rain are, or how difficult the road is."
Tariq comforted Ryan, but his heart was stirred by a warm current. He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes moved between Ryan and Alice, thinking to himself: This time, Alice will definitely not choose Ryan again. After all, Ryan once stood against her and became the enemy of the Church of Light she believed in. And she, a female warrior of the Church of Light, how could she spend the rest of her life with such a person?
Tariq patted Ryan's shoulder gently, with a sincere smile on his face: "Ryan, it's great that you think so. We all hope that you can get back on the right path and protect this land with us." His eyes flashed with sincerity and expectation, as if at this moment, he had completely forgotten the past grievances and only hoped that Ryan could return to the right path.
However, the ecstasy in his heart was like a surging tide. He secretly glanced at Alice, and saw that she also showed a relieved smile on her face, and her eyes were shining with a soft light. Tariq knew that this was exactly the opportunity he had dreamed of. He secretly made up his mind to seize this opportunity and let Alice see his sincerity and determination.
"Lian, you know what? I've been worried about you." Tariq pretended to be deep and said, "I know you've taken a detour before, but that's not your fault. Now, you're willing to return to your family and reconcile with the Church of Light. That's great. I believe your family will be very happy to see your growth and changes."
Ryan felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He looked at Tariq deeply and said gratefully, "Tariq, thank you. I know I have disappointed you. But now, I am willing to work hard for peace and tranquility. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to create a better future."
Alice also came forward and gently held Ryan's hand, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes: "Ryan, I am also very happy to see that you can make such a decision. Although I have been disappointed in you, I now believe that you can become a better person. We used to be best friends, and I hope we can be the same as before in the future."
Tariq watched Alice and Ryan shake hands and make peace, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He knew that at this moment, he had won Alice's trust and favor. He secretly made up his mind to continue working hard to make Alice completely forget Ryan and throw herself into his arms.
