The cries of the lost woman were answered.
However, the response to her presence was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
Silver light flowed through the shadows. The moment the power unique to the mirror world descended upon this place, the entire shadow world began to tremble, and the cracks in the sky began to teeter on the brink of collapse.
As she stared at the figure standing before her, her mind went blank for a moment; she couldn't understand how the other person had gotten there.
At that moment, the knight in silver armor slowly bent down and picked up the amber that was shimmering with a faint orange glow from the ground.
"A ray of hope that transcends life and death, magic called miracles, and the bond between magical girls and spirit beasts—willing to sacrifice themselves to help their partners..."
"You should thank her. If it weren't for this little guy's brilliance, I really wouldn't have been able to accurately locate this dimension."
With the light of fireflies and the guidance of blood, two worlds on the same horizon but in different dimensions finally built a bridge at this moment.
Looking at the firefly inside the amber, which had long since lost its life but was still shining brightly, Tang Zijun, behind the mask, had an expression full of respect and tilted his head slightly.
"Her name is Wei Yang, right?"
Shi didn't answer immediately, but stared blankly at Tang Zijun. Then she suddenly realized what was happening and couldn't help but speak.
"Idiot! Why did you come here!?"
Her excited shout aggravated her injuries, but she forced herself to continue speaking despite the pain.
"Without Shadow City as an anchor point, he can't actually descend into the real world. What you should be doing is stopping those shadow monsters!"
Are you planning to let us fight the weak monsters outside while you play the hero here?
Before Tang Zijun could respond, a hoarse voice rang out from behind Shi, followed by a burst of light reflected from countless prisms.
Countless beams of white light, like sharp blades, pierced straight through the surrounding shadows. Although the darkness remained endless, these increasingly intense lights did indeed create a "purified land."
She recognized the owner of the voice. Apart from that greedy, sycophantic uncle who always followed Tang Zijun, she couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could project the sunlight of the mirror world into this place.
"lose!"
Just as she was lost in thought, a very familiar voice reached her ears. Upon hearing this voice, her gaze became unfocused. Before she could react, she felt herself being embraced in a warm embrace.
"Xin, Xin'er..."
Gazing at her worried face, he forced a weak smile. "I'm sorry... I made you see me like this, all wolf and fox..."
"Stop talking, you need to rest now!" Tan Zhixin's voice trembled slightly. She clenched her teeth, trying hard not to lose control of her emotions.
She had sensed something was wrong when she met Shi earlier. Knowing Shi as she did, she knew that Shi wouldn't contact her for no reason. The way Shi acted at the time seemed more like she was saying her final goodbye.
Looking at Shi, who was covered in wounds, Tan Zhixin felt as if her long-dormant heart had been struck hard.
However, she also knew that even if she had a thousand or one things she wanted to say, the current situation was not the right time. She could only keep pouring magic into Shi's body to maintain her remaining life with the wood element.
Looking at that face so close to his, and at Tan Zhixin's pained expression, Shi suddenly felt a lump in his throat. "I'm sorry... I've let you down..."
"Don't say that." Tan Zhixin breathed heavily, took a deep breath, and then smiled as she stroked Shi's face. "You did very well, it's not too late..."
"No, you don't understand..." Shi shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice. "You must leave here immediately. That being is an ancient god, someone you are absolutely not capable of fighting..."
"Ancient gods, right?"
Tang Zijun spoke up.
"What a coincidence, we're looking for the ancient god..."
Indifferent words echoed in the deathly silent world. The monsters in the shadows let out low growls, as if they had sensed some kind of terrifying aura, and they all began to stir.
At the very center of the monsters, the tall, black figure narrowed its eyes slightly.
From the moment this group of strangers arrived, his gaze was fixed on Tang Zijun. Although the power emanating from her was very weak, for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.
"The people in the mirror... I intended to find you after all this was over, but I never expected that you would dare to come here to die and even step into my world..."
Calmly gazing at the black figure opposite her, Tang Zijun's lips curled into a slight smile. "You know, I've wanted to come to this world for a long time, but unfortunately my shadow power isn't strong enough to pass through the barriers of the Shadow Corridor and the Shadow World. But things aren't bad now, are they?"
"Heh... Welcome to my world." The black-clad figure chuckled coldly. "Have you come here willingly to offer your souls and bodies to me?"
"Actually, I'm here to threaten you," Tang Zijun shrugged and said softly. "I want to know everything about the dream world, including the truth about the war between the gods and the dream world. I hope you can satisfy my curiosity without hesitation; it's very important to me."
The black-clad figure merely smiled and shook his head, seemingly unable to recall how many years it had been since he had been so disrespected. At the same time, the spear in his hand grew even more crimson. "And what if I say no?"
"Then I'll have to resort to some methods." Tang Zijun stretched her wrists and smiled.
The moment their eyes met, an invisible pressure permeated the air.
The monsters in the Shadow World sensed this powerful aura, causing their already restless hearts to become completely agitated.
The enormous black monsters, which had not yet begun their ascent, let out a low roar. Their bodies twisted and deformed in the darkness, their thick limbs stomping forcefully on the ground, stirring up the surrounding shadow energy. Their dark pupils flashed with a frenzied light, as if they were about to launch an attack at any moment.
The intertwining of fear and excitement caused these beasts born in the shadows to lose control. They clashed with each other, some roaring, others spinning wildly, searching for an outlet.
The entire shadow world was shrouded in this restless atmosphere, and the monsters' unease spread like ripples in the darkness, as if an impending storm was brewing.
Seeing the Shadow Clan gradually becoming restless, Tang Zijun broke the silence in a low voice, "Hyacinth."
"I am here!"
A streak of light flew swiftly out of Qin Nan's pocket, circled around Tang Zijun's body, and then obediently landed on his shoulder.
"Go and take Shi to Trova. I want her alive."
"Understood~" Hyacinth replied, then fluttered its wings and flew to Shi's side, nodding to Tan Zhixin. "Leave the rest to me!"
"Please, Hyacinth." Tan Zhixin knew the power of the Flower Fairies and the Tree of Life well; it was far stronger than her wood element healing, so she had no objections.
She struggled to stand up, but her weakness made it difficult for her to even move a finger. Noticing that the reversal passage had opened in the bloody reflection beneath her, she slightly raised her head and looked at Tang Zijun not far away.
"Stop him... don't let the Shadow Clan invade the real world..."
"Don't worry." Tang Zijun slowly raised her head and looked at the group of monsters climbing the giant spear. "They can't get up there."
"?!"
The black figure was about to mock the group's wild ideas when he suddenly sensed something tearing open the barrier of the shadow world. Before he could react to what was happening, a deafening roar came from the other side of the sky.
Woo-woo-woo!
Looking back sharply, they saw that above the dark sky, the silent sky had suddenly exploded with a hole, as if a stone had shattered a glass window. The space and the surrounding shadow power were all smashed into fragments by a strange force.
Eyes popped and snorted.
With a rhythmic roar, a train suddenly burst out of the opening.
Its body shimmered with golden light, as if it were made up of countless stars. The steam train was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky. Wherever it passed, the sky was shattered, and the fragments fell like snowflakes.
Without any warning, the steam train suddenly veered off course in the air and then charged headlong into the towering spears.
"No!"
The black-clad figure instantly discerned the other party's intentions.
The next moment, the locomotive of the steam train crashed directly into the spears, and the terrifying destructive force instantly turned the spears formed from shadows into dust.
The train's roar was like thunder, and the destructive impact shook the entire island. One building after another was affected and collapsed. Without support, the Land of Shadows began to accelerate its descent.
The golden train was like a mad beast. Under its impact, the order of the shadow world was completely disrupted, and the shadow race that had climbed halfway also fell in the chaos.
Having witnessed all of this, the black-clad figure's gaze had become extremely gloomy.
It wasn't that he didn't want to stop it, but the train was just too fast, and from the moment it appeared, he sensed something was wrong—it wasn't a train at all, but a moving surface world!
"elder brother!"
Golden light gathered in the darkness and materialized at a visible speed. Then, Katie's figure emerged from the light and stood beside Tang Zijun.
"Um."
Tang Zijun nodded slightly, and her smile became bright.
"Everyone's here now."
