Multiple Personalities-Chapter 463: Silver-Armored Warriors

The black Magical Beast, seeing its master injured, let out an angry roar, then charged toward the silver-armored warriors recklessly. But the warriors were prepared; they formed a tight formation, trapping the beast within. After an intense battle, the beast was finally subdued, collapsing to the ground, motionless. The black-robed man lay on the ground, his breathing weak. He looked at everyone, eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness. "You... don't celebrate too soon... The mysterious organization's plan... won't stop because of your victory..." he said with difficulty, then tilted his head and breathed his last.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew the black-robed man's words were not mere threats. The conspiracy of the mysterious organization had not been fully revealed, and there were still more arduous tasks awaiting them.

"We must hurry to the mysterious organization's lair and stop their plan," said the man solemnly. His eyes revealed determination and resolve; he knew the road ahead would be more dangerous, but there was no room for retreat.

Lin Yu, Shen Jingqi, and Li Baiyu nodded, their hearts filled with a sense of mission. They knew that to safeguard the world's peace and tranquility, they must bravely face every challenge.

So, the three packed their gear and followed the silver-armored warriors into the depths of the forest.

In the deep, dense forest, sunlight struggled to seep through the overlapping leaves, scattering tiny spots of light, like hope flickering in the darkness, yet appearing so faint. The surroundings were eerily quiet, occasionally disturbed by strange cries from unknown birds and beasts, tightening everyone's nerves involuntarily.

Lin Yu tightly clenched the longsword in his hand, its blade glinting coldly in the dim light. His gaze vigilantly scanned the surroundings, his heart beating erratically like a rabbit caught in a snare. "Who knows what dangers are lurking in this forest; the mysterious organization certainly won't let us easily reach their lair," he muttered quietly, unconsciously quickening his steps.

Shen Jingqi walked beside Lin Yu, twirling a dagger skillfully between his fingers. His lips curled into a confident yet slightly tense smile, "No matter what danger, I'll take them out one by one." Despite his words, a hint of worry lingered in his eyes. After all, they had already witnessed the strength of the mysterious organization, and the black-robed man was just the tip of the iceberg.

Li Baiyu followed at the back of the group, clutching a few talismans tightly in her hand. Her face was a bit pale, evidently drained from the previous battle with the black-robed man and the Magical Beast. "Hope these talismans will come in handy," she thought silently, her eyes revealing determination and resolve.

The man led the group at the front, looking back at them from time to time, his eyes filled with concern and encouragement. "Stay close, don't fall behind. The mysterious organization's lair is deep within this forest, we must be careful," he said loudly, his voice echoing in the silent forest.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the woods ahead, as if something was moving swiftly. Everyone immediately became alert, stopping in their tracks and gripping their weapons more tightly. The silver-armored warriors quickly formed a circle, protecting everyone in the center.

"What's that? Could it be an ambush sent by the mysterious organization?" Lin Yu asked nervously, his heartbeat suddenly accelerating, sweat beading on his forehead.

Shen Jingqi squinted, staring intently in the direction of the sound. "Whatever it is, get ready to fight," he whispered, crouching slightly, ready to attack at any moment.

As the sound grew nearer, a group of dark figures darted out from the forest. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pack of wolves, but these were different from regular wolves; their eyes gleamed with an eerie red light, and a nauseating stench emanated from their bodies.

"Rotten wolves! Be careful; these wolves have been altered by the mysterious organization, their attack and defense are very strong," the man loudly warned, his eyes heavy with seriousness, knowing that a ferocious battle was looming.

The rotten wolves let out low growls, slowly advancing toward them. Their teeth were razor-sharp, saliva dripping continuously from the corners of their mouths, corroding small pits into the ground.

"Charge!" At the man's command, the silver-armored warriors charged forward, clashing fiercely with the rotten wolves. Their long spears struck like lightning at the wolves, but these creatures were exceedingly agile, skillfully dodging attacks and counterattacking at every opportunity.

Lin Yu charged in without hesitation, his longsword whirring through the air, each slash claiming the life of a rotten wolf. Yet their number was overwhelming, and he soon found himself surrounded.

"Lin Yu, look out!" Shen Jingqi shouted, seeing a rotten wolf sneaking up behind Lin Yu, he quickly hurled his dagger. Like a shooting star, the dagger streaked through the night sky, hitting the wolf's eye precisely. With a pained howl, the wolf collapsed, twitched a few times, and then fell silent.

Lin Yu shot a grateful glance at Shen Jingqi, then plunged back into battle. He was already wounded in several places, his clothes stained with blood, but he showed no signs of retreat.

Li Baiyu stood at the rear, continuously casting Magic. Beams of light shot from her hands, striking the rotten wolves, causing them to howl in pain, their bodies quickly decomposing. However, the Magic was draining, and it wasn't long before she felt exhausted, her body swaying.

"Senior, are you alright?" Lin Yu shouted, seeing Li Baiyu's condition, his heart clenching with concern, worried she might come to harm in the battle, for she had already given much for everyone.

Li Baiyu gritted her teeth, holding on and said, "I'm fine, I can hold on," taking a deep breath, she focused again, casting Magic. But this time, only a weak glimmer emanated from her spell and then disappeared. Her vision blurred as she nearly fainted.

As they struggled, suddenly a gigantic golden eagle swooped down from the sky. With razor-sharp talons, it snatched up a rotten wolf and soared into the air, then slammed it forcefully into the ground. The wolf was shattered, dying instantly.

"Reinforcements!" the man shouted excitedly, his eyes filled with hope, as if seeing the dawn of victory.

The golden eagle circled the battlefield, attacking intermittently, greatly relieving the group's pressure. Through their united efforts, the rotten wolves were finally annihilated.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could catch a breath, a low rumbling echoed through the forest. The sound grew louder, like a thousand horses galloping wildly.

"What is that sound? Could there be an even stronger enemy?" Shen Jingqi asked in terror, his eyes filled with fear. The recent battle with the rotten wolves had already left him exhausted, facing stronger enemies seemed unimaginable.

The man furrowed his brow, listening intently for a moment. "The sound is like some huge mechanical device, the mysterious organization might have set up traps or mechanisms here," he said gravely, filled with concern, uncertain what awaited them ahead.

Cautiously, they continued forward, and as the rumbling neared, they finally discovered its source — a massive stone door, covered in strange runes glowing with an eerie light. Beneath the door, a gigantic gear mechanism slowly turned, producing the deafening sound.
