When Sophia and Morris looked up at the sky, it seemed as if an invisible sword had slashed open the sky, forming a deep and terrifying rift in time and space. The existence of this rift was like the disruption of tranquility by the darkness of night, foreshadowing some ominous change that was about to come.
Sophia tightly gripped the "Key of the Celestial Realm" staff in her hand, and the staff seemed to sense the unstable power within the rift, trembling slightly. The gem on the staff shimmered with a colorful light, as if reminding her of some danger that she could not ignore.
Morris also did not hesitate to draw the black "Shadowfang" dagger from his waist. He felt the slow seepage of dark energy from the dagger, which was particularly strong at night, as if responding to the deep crevice.
Their eyes met, and in them, they could both see each other's seriousness and determination.
"We can't wait for the principal and the others. The crack is getting bigger and we must take action immediately," Sophia said urgently.
Morris took a deep breath, his eyes becoming even calmer. "Yes, I agree. Since we already have such great power, we should use it to do something."
At this moment, the temporal rift behind them seemed to sense the determination of the two, becoming more active and unstable.
The narrow space rift was like a shadow in a crevice, surrounded by distorted and deformed space. Occasionally, some vague black shadows would emerge from the rift, seemingly testing the stability of this world.
Sophia waved the "Key of the Celestial Realm" in her hand, and with its powerful magic amplification ability, she chanted a sealing spell. Her incantation carried an irresistible force, instantly pushing back the encroaching darkness into the cracks.
Morris, gritting his teeth, held the "Shadowfang" in his hand, which trembled slightly. He locked eyes with Sophia and began to chant a summoning spell. A halo appeared around him, composed of dazzling purple and black, like the most beautiful starlight in the night sky.
Sophia Suddenly heard a deep voice, with a cryptic and incomprehensible tone, "You don't understand, you absolutely don't understand."
Suddenly, a huge tremor came from the rift in space and time, as if something was about to break through from within.
A dazzling beam of light instantly pierced through the crack, illuminating the entire cave. Then, a blurry figure gradually materialized within the beam of light, until fully revealed.
The figure became increasingly clear, revealing a person completely wrapped in a black cloak, with a fierce countenance and deep red pupils.
Morris tightly grasped "Shadowfang" and asked coldly, "Who are you? Where are we?"
"Long time no see, welcome to my domain," the figure opened his cloak, revealing his twisted face. "I am Azansos, the destroyer of time and space."
Following that, he smiled at them, "You will understand one day, and eventually everything will become clear."
Sophia eagerly raised the "Key of the Celestial Realm", and the staff seemed to absorb all the magical elements around it. In an instant, they concentrated onto the gem on the staff. "starlight shines!" she shouted, releasing an extremely dazzling starlight from the staff, like a meteor streaking across the night sky. The power was so great that it almost made the entire space tremble.
Morris stood opposite, swiftly combining the "Shadowfang" dagger with the "Flame of Passion." In an instant, the flames and dark elements intertwined in the air, like a wild horse of flame and shadow, roaring towards the dazzling starlight.
Azansos, a mysterious figure in a black robe, seemingly floated towards a certain place as if deliberately playing along. His gaze revealed a hint of mystery and mockery, as if everything was within his calculations.
At this extremely tense moment, the attacks of Sophia and Morris intersected above the magic circle. With a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting, the magic circle that Azansos had DarkShadow with magic seemed unable to withstand the sudden powerful force and began to show cracks.
"Oh no, I can't control it!" Morris's cry of alarm pierced through the chaos. He felt a powerful backlash coming back from the magic circle, causing his arm to go numb.
Sophia also felt a violent tremor, and her "Key of the Celestial Realm" almost slipped from her hand. The silk of the Wanderer of the Mist's robe seemed to be hit by a violent storm, instantly tightening.
At this moment, the magic array that had revealed its original form suddenly disintegrated under the impact of their powerful forces, like a shattered mirror. Not only that, the already unstable spatial rift was torn even larger in that instant.
Azansos narrowed his eyes, a hint of wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he seemed to have succeeded. "This is what you have initiated, bear it..."
But it seems he still underestimated them.
At that moment, a golden light shot out from the shattered magic array, piercing through the space.
The golden light flashed in Azansos's eyes, and he widened them, his expression changing. The light drew a mysterious trajectory in the air, shining like a meteor tearing through the night sky.
"Impossible!" Azansos gritted his teeth fiercely.
In that instant, the golden light transformed into a short sword, its blade engraved with ancient runes - the very "Dawn Messenger Short Sword" wielded by Sophia. The sword seemed to have a life of its own as it pierced through the shattered magic circle, appearing instantly behind Azansos.
"Sophia, now!" Morris shouted.
Without hesitation, Sophia tightly grasped the "Key of the Celestial Realm" staff and quickly recited an ancient incantation. The staff instantly emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful magical wave surged towards Azansos.
Azansos roared in anger, trying desperately to stop the force, but it was too late. The light and magical fluctuations resonated with the "Dawn Messenger Short Sword" to form a powerful beam of light that enveloped Azansos.
"What... What power is this?" Azansos screamed in terror, his form gradually becoming blurry within the beam of light, until he vanished completely.
Sophia and Morris breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a smile, but their smiles also revealed a hint of imperceptible fatigue and worry.
"We did it, but it's not over yet," Morris said with a serious tone.
Sophia nodded. She knew that although they had defeated Azansos, the rifts in time and the greater secrets behind those meteor still needed to be explored and resolved.
Sophia and Morris looked at the torn space rift in front of them. Facing unknown challenges and potential disasters, they knew that this was just the beginning.
"I feel like we might have caused trouble again," Sophia said with a heavy tone, her eyes flashing with determination.
"Yeah, it looks like we've really stirred up quite a storm this time," Morris glanced around, his blue eyes appearing particularly deep in the otherworldly light.
The two tried many methods, but they couldn't seal the tear in the ruins left by the deity. Therefore, they decided to temporarily seal the sky rift that connects to the Noah Continent first.
He took out the "Shadowfang" dagger and made several intricate gestures towards the sky rift. A shadowy energy enveloped the entire rift, temporarily sealing it.
Sophia also did not back down. She tightly grasped the "Key of the Celestial Realm" staff in her hand. A dazzling light emitted from the tip of the staff, intertwining with Morris's dark shadow energy to form what seemed like a stable energy field.
"This should temporarily prevent anything from passing through," Sophia bit her lip, "but this is not a long-term solution. We need to find a real resolution."
"I completely agree, this is just delaying the inevitable," Morris said. "We need to figure out a way to repair the magic circle."
"And there's also Azansos who knows our secret," Sophia added, "he might be planning something that none of us can anticipate."
"So, what's our first step?" Morris asked.
"First, we need to go back to Noah Academy and talk to the principal," Sophia suggested, "maybe they can give us some clues."
"Okay, let's get moving then!" Morris smiled.
The two quickened their pace, leaving the ancient battlefield and returning to the temporary seal of the celestial rift. Sophia aimed the "Key of the Celestial Realm" at the energy field, and a beam of light shot out, tearing open a small opening in the energy field.
"Hurry!" Sophia shouted.
The two of them instantly crossed the rift and returned to the Noah Continent. The rift closed tightly behind them.
