With the announcement of the envoy of the Dark Lord, the atmosphere in the forest instantly became tense.
Guilas's gaze became sharper, his body tensed, ready to face the impending battle.
Maxi and the other Warlocks quickly formed a battle formation, their eyes shining with the determination to fight. Eleanora tightly protected Arya behind her, gripping her staff tightly, ready to unleash her magic.
The envoys of the Dark Lord slowly closed in, their movements steady and powerful, each step feeling like a heavy blow to Guilas their hearts.
Suddenly, an envoy swiftly swung the long sword in his hand and launched an attack on Guilas. Guilas quickly dodged to the side and at the same time waved the magic wand in his hand, releasing a powerful energy wave.
The energy wave swept out like a storm, repelling the oncoming envoy. However, other envoys took the opportunity to launch their own attacks. Their movements were swift and deadly, each strike carrying a strong killing intent.
Maxi roared and wielded his giant sword to meet the enemy. His swordsmanship was fierce and powerful, with each swing creating a gust of wind. The tip of his sword aimed directly at the vital points of the envoy, forcing them to retreat.
Eleanora unleashed her magic, waving her hands and shooting out brilliant rays of light from her fingertips. The rays of light shot towards the envoy like sharp arrows, forcing them to be distracted in their response.
Morris and Valentine also have their own strengths, their swordsmanship is fast and precise, every attack makes it difficult for the envoys to defend.
Lilith's dual blades dance on the battlefield, her figure is fast and agile, every swing of her blades takes the life of an envoy.
The battle grew more intense, and the forest was filled with the intertwining sounds of swords and magic. Guilas's eyes shimmered with a cold light, and every one of his attacks carried immense power, driving back the envoys one by one.
At that moment, a envoy suddenly launched an attack from behind, heading straight for Arya. Guilas instantly sensed the danger and swiftly turned around, wielding his staff to release a powerful energy barrier that repelled the envoy.
Arya was so startled by the sudden attack that she clung tightly to Guilas, her eyes filled with fear.
A flash of anger crossed Guilas's eyes, his voice deep and powerful: "Dare to scare my daughter, and you will pay the price!"
As his words fell, Guilas's magic burst forth, forming a huge energy vortex around his body. The energy within the vortex was powerful and terrifying, swallowing everything around it.
The envoys of the Dark Lord appeared small and powerless in the face of this immense energy, and they were all swallowed up by the energy vortex, turning into ashes.
After the battle, the forest once again returned to peace. Guilas gently set down Arya, his eyes filled with concern and love.
He comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Arya, I will always protect you."
Arya lifted her head and looked at Guilas with her clear eyes, filled with trust and reliance.
Guilas knew that this battle was only the beginning. The appearance of the envoys of the Dark Lord heralded a greater danger approaching, and he had to be even more cautious.
Guilas turns to his loyal Warlocks, their eyes filled with determination and loyalty. He takes a deep breath and speaks firmly, "We must find the source of these dark lords' envoy and stop their conspiracy."
Maxi nodded and responded, "Master, we will track their whereabouts and find their hiding place."
Eleanora then softly said, "I will use my magic to sense their energy fluctuations, so we can find them more quickly."
Guilas nodded, determination shining in his eyes. He turned to Arya and gently stroked her hair, saying, "Arya, there are some things your father needs to take care of. You need to stay with Eleanora and be a good girl, okay?"
Arya nodded, her eyes showing trust and reliance on her father.
Guilas turned around and led his Warlocks deeper into the forest. The shadows in the forest seemed to grow deeper with the sound of their footsteps, each step feeling like treading on unknown danger.
They passed through dense woods and arrived at a dark valley. The air in the valley seemed to be frozen, every breath filled with a sense of oppression.
Suddenly, Morris's gaze sharpened, and he whispered, "Master, there is an abnormal energy fluctuation ahead."
Guilas nodded, signaling everyone to stay alert. They slowly approached the source of the energy fluctuation.
As they approached, a hidden cave gradually became visible. The entrance to the cave was obscured by vines and leaves, making it almost difficult to notice without careful observation.
Guilas signaled for everyone to stop, his eyes flashing with caution. He whispered, "This might be their hiding place. We must proceed carefully."
Maxi and Valentine quickly went to investigate, their movements swift and silent, like ghosts in the night.
Soon, they returned to Guilas' side, and Maxi reported in a low voice, "Master, it seems there are people inside the cave, but not many."
Guilas nodded, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He whispered, "Let's go in and take a look, but we must remain extremely vigilant."
They entered the cave silently, the interior dim and damp, filled with the smell of mold and decay.
As they delved deeper, some traces gradually emerged in the cave. These traces seemed to indicate that someone had once lived here.
Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in the cave: "You have finally arrived, Guilas."
Guilas's eyes narrowed as he tightly gripped his wand and whispered, "Who are you? Why are you attacking me and my daughter?"
The deep voice chuckled and said, "I am one of the envoys of the Dark Lord. Our purpose is simply to test your strength."
Guilas's eyes flashed with anger, and he said coldly, "Test? What qualifications do you have?"
envoy's voice rang out again, "This is just the beginning, Nicholas. The Dark Lord is very interested in you. He wants to see if you have fully recovered."
Guilas flashed a hint of disdain in his eyes and said coldly, "I will not be anyone's opponent. Tell the Dark Lord to give up this idea."
envoy spoke with a hint of eerie amusement in his voice, "Well then, we will meet again soon, Nicholas. The game of the Dark Lord has just begun."
After speaking, a sudden strong energy wave emanated from the cave, and envoy's figure disappeared into the darkness.
Maxi angrily struck the wall, sounding dissatisfied: "It's despicable. In the past, Demon Lord wouldn't have paid any attention to such minor characters. Now these inferior guys dare to come and threaten Demon Lord. If it weren't for the mutual damage between Demon Lord and saint a hundred years ago, leading to a significant decrease in their abilities, they wouldn't have had the chance to take advantage of the situation."
Guilas turned around, with a hint of calmness in his eyes, and said to Maxi, "This is not just a personal challenge for me, but also a test for our entire Warlock group. We must be more united and improve our strength."
Valentine nodded with determination and responded, "Master, we are ready to face the challenge at any time, to protect you and Miss Arya."
Guilas A faint smile, feeling gratified by their loyalty.
He turned to look deep into the cave, took a deep breath, and said, "We must be more vigilant. The envoy of the Dark Lord could appear again at any time. We cannot let them succeed."
Eleanora added softly, "I will strengthen the monitoring of the surrounding magical energy, and we will react immediately if there is any abnormality."
Guilas nodded and then led everyone out of the cave, returning to their hiding place. In the darkness of night, their figures disappeared into the dense forest like ghosts.
Back at their hideout, Guilas immediately summoned all the Warlocks to begin devising a strategy. They needed to be prepared for any possible attacks from the Dark Lord.
Arya listened quietly nearby, her eyes revealing both admiration for her father and concern for the unknown future. She knew that the battle against the Dark Lord would be tough, but she believed that her father and his Warlocks would surely emerge victorious.
Guilas stood in front of everyone, his voice firm and powerful: "We will not fear the darkness, and we will fight relentlessly to the end. No matter how many envoys the Lord of Darkness sends, we will defeat them one by one. Our unity and strength will be unbeatable by them."
The crowd of Warlocks echoed loudly, their eyes filled with determination for battle and thirst for victory.
Guilas turned to look at the distant night sky, his heart filled with anticipation for the future and readiness for battle. He knew that the confrontation with the Lord of Darkness would be a long and difficult fight, but he believed that as long as they stood united, nothing would be impossible.
The night breeze gently blew away Guilas' thoughts. He turned back to Arya, gently stroking her hair and softly saying, "Don't worry, Arya, no matter what happens, father will protect you."
Arya looked up at her father, her eyes shining, and said, "Daddy, goo-goo, gaa-gaa."
Arya's tender voice sounded particularly clear in the night breeze, filling Guilas with warmth. He knew that this little life was the meaning behind all his battles.
