"What kind of magic was that? It could temporarily incapacitate such a powerful enemy."
"Great! It looks like we finally have a chance to defeat this monster!"
Just as everyone was preparing to retaliate, they suddenly heard a villager exclaim, "Oh no! Look over there! Several more monsters just like the ones from before are coming!"
These words instantly threw the entire battlefield into chaos. Sure enough, several figures, similar in size to or even larger than the previous ones, were rapidly approaching from afar.
Upon hearing this exclamation, everyone's hearts sank. An invisible tension seemed to hang in the air, and everyone's expression turned serious.
"More monsters?" The mysterious woman frowned. She quickly turned towards the direction of the sound and saw several even larger and darker figures rushing towards them, kicking up a cloud of dust. "The situation is worse than I thought..."
"We can't let these guys join the battle!" Lilith said firmly, though her tone remained calm, her palms were already sweating. "We have to find a way to get rid of this giant as soon as possible."
At this moment, a group of passersby who had been watching from a distance were also deeply attracted by what was happening before their eyes and began to discuss it among themselves:
"My God! So many? Looks like we're in big trouble today!" A middle-aged man shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness.
"This young lady is so amazing! How reassuring it would be to have her by my side to protect me!" The little girl in simple clothes looked at Lilith with envy, her tone full of longing.
"Truly a brave warrior from afar! To be able to handle such a dangerous situation so calmly," a scholar-like young man beside him exclaimed, his eyes filled with admiration.
Chapter 1220 New Enemy
Chapter 1220 New Enemy
At this critical moment, a person cloaked in black and wearing a mask silently appeared at the edge of the battlefield. His sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, were fixed on the approaching new enemy, and he slowly said, "You deal with the situation here first. Leave the new enemy to me."
Hearing this, Lilith felt much relieved: "Then I'll trouble you, sir. Please be careful."
As the words fell, the masked man nimbly leaped and vanished from sight. Moments later, as several approaching giant beasts unleashed deafening roars, a flash of silver light suddenly streaked between them, accompanied by a piercing scream that echoed through the sky—it was the unknown hero who had single-handedly held off the entire squad's attack!
Seeing this, the spectators outside the stadium were even more excited, and almost everyone stood up to cheer for their idol.
"That's incredible! He's a lifesaver!"
Seeing the masked hero make a move, the mysterious woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't completely let her guard down. She quickly turned her attention back to the giant monster currently locked in combat with Lilith. Although this monster was enormous, its movements were unexpectedly agile, plunging those who had initially thought the battle would be easily resolved into another predicament.
“Miss Lilith, please allow me to assist you.” As she spoke, the woman took out a crystal ball that emitted a faint light from her sleeve. “This is the source of my special ability, which may be able to help us end this fierce battle as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile, a group of onlookers were also utterly shocked by what had just happened:
"Wow! Another expert has appeared! I'm so envious!" The middle-aged man from before was now beaming with excitement, his eyes sparkling like a child's.
"If I could have superhuman strength like them, then I could face any difficulty bravely..." the little girl murmured to herself. Though her words were simple, they stirred up waves of emotion within her.
"It seems the situation is about to reach a turning point. The two ladies are working together very well!" The young scholar's eyes burned even brighter, as if he was full of anticipation for the grand spectacle to come.
Just then, the newly arrived giant creatures enveloped in silver light finally ceased their frenzied attack. Just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from afar—a new, even stronger enemy was rapidly approaching!
"Oh no! Everyone, look over there!" A voice rang out from the crowd, and everyone turned around to look. They saw a huge black shadow flying towards them at an alarming speed on the horizon, as if it wanted to swallow everything.
"What... what the hell is this?" The middle-aged man's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
"Could it be the legendary Destroyer? I never expected it to appear at this time..." The scholar-like young man spoke in a heavy tone, his face full of worry.
Faced with such a sudden turn of events, even the usually composed Lilith frowned. "We must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, once that big guy joins the battle, we may not be able to survive."
Just then, a faint ripple appeared in the air, as if some powerful force was gradually awakening. The masked hero, who had vanished, reappeared, leaping high into the sky, tracing a perfect arc before landing steadily on the ground.
Chapter 1221 Power Begins to Awaken
Chapter 1221 Power Begins to Awaken.
“Don’t worry, I feel the power deep within me beginning to awaken.” The masked man said in a deep voice, which was reassuring. “No matter what challenges await us, I believe that as long as we work together, there are no difficulties we cannot overcome.”
No sooner had the masked hero finished speaking than murmurs arose from the crowd:
"This aura... no wonder he's a legendary master!"
"Judging from his confident tone, does he have some secret weapon?" a young man next to him guessed with a hint of excitement and anticipation.
Meanwhile, as the enormous black shadow drew closer, the battlefield, which had been tense due to the giant silver creature, suddenly fell eerily quiet. All eyes were fixed on the reappearing masked warrior, as if his every move could determine everyone's fate.
The scholar-like young man stared intently at the increasingly prominent black dot in the distant sky, then turned to the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Uncle, have you ever seen anything like this before?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, his expression grave. "Although I am well-informed, this is the first time I have ever witnessed something so extraordinary. It seems this day is destined to be recorded in history!"
Liu Ruyan gripped her mother's hand tightly, a flicker of fear crossing her eyes before quickly replaced by determination. "Mom said that courage isn't the absence of fear, but the ability to face it head-on. Today, I want to try to be that kind of brave person!"
Suddenly, a slightly trembling but powerful voice rang out: "Don't worry, everyone. No matter what happens, we must not give up easily!" It was Lilith who stepped forward. Her voice, though soft, could penetrate the entire battlefield and reach the hearts of everyone.
“That’s right! Since we’ve chosen this path, even if there’s an abyss ahead, we can only keep going.” The masked man said firmly, his eyes seeming to shine through the mask and into the deepest part of people’s hearts that yearns for victory. “But remember one thing: protecting yourself is always much more important than being reckless.”
Just as everyone was being inspired by this spirit, even more hurried footsteps came from not far away—it turned out that more residents and travelers had heard what had happened and had come to help.
"Come and help us quickly! This is not the time for one person to fight alone. We need to unite and fight against external threats together!" shouted an elderly man who looked like a leader. Behind him were dozens of people carrying various weapons and equipment.
As more and more ordinary people were willing to step forward, and even passersby who were completely unaware of the situation but were willing to contribute their meager strength to help strangers, the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly passionate.
As the morale of the crowd rose higher and higher, the enormous black shadow in the sky was finally fully revealed—it was an enormous flying monster, its body covered in thick black scales that reflected an ominous luster in the moonlight. Its wings were as wide as clouds that blotted out the sky, and each flap of them stirred up dust on the ground. This behemoth exuded a chilling aura, causing even the strongest warriors to tremble.
"What...what is this thing?" a villager who had just arrived asked in a trembling voice, his face filled with fear.
Chapter 1222 Creating Opportunities as Much as Possible
Chapter 1222 Creating Opportunities as Much as Possible
Another old man was even more pessimistic: "It's over, it's over. How can we possibly defeat such a monster? We probably won't survive until today."
But the masked man showed no sign of backing down; instead, he straightened his back. "Listen up, everyone! Now is not the time to despair! Since we are all gathered here, it means that fate has its own plan. As long as we are united, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome!" he shouted, his gaze sweeping across the entire area. "And don't forget, besides ourselves, we also have that powerful figure approaching as our support."
Hearing this, everyone looked up again at the figure drawing ever closer in the distance. They saw the person moving lightly, treading on the void, each step causing ripples in the air as if distorted by some force. This superhuman feat rekindled their hope.
As the mysterious figure drew closer, every corner of the battlefield seemed to be infected by a strange power. The villagers' tense nerves began to relax, and some even whispered among themselves about the possible identity and origin of this uninvited guest.
"Look at that person... he seems really strong. Is he here to rescue us?" A hint of anticipation flashed in the eyes of the young hunter, Xiao Zhang.
Another middle-aged man was more cautious: "That's true, but the situation is still unclear, so we still need to be vigilant."
Just as people were whispering among themselves, the figure landed and stood firmly before them. A long sword was sheathed diagonally behind him; though not yet drawn, its sheath alone exuded a powerful aura. "Gentlemen, do not panic. I am a wanderer, and seeing the dire situation, I came to offer my assistance." The man's voice was calm yet authoritative, instantly silencing the surrounding commotion.
He then turned to the masked man and Lilith and asked, "You two seem to be the core leaders here? Then please tell me about the enemy situation, and perhaps I can propose a more reasonable battle plan."
The masked man nodded in response, "Thank you for your assistance! The situation is roughly as follows—"
As the two were exchanging details of the battle, a few cheers broke the silence from the crowd watching nearby. "Great! Finally, reinforcements have arrived!" a child exclaimed, clapping his hands with pure joy.
“That’s right, that’s right, maybe today really is a turning point.” A young woman echoed, her eyes shining with hope.
However, not everyone shared the same optimism. "Don't get too excited yet. That flying monster is so big, can a few people really take it on?" a slightly dejected veteran retorted.
After hearing the masked man's description of the current situation, the mysterious man's eyes became even more determined.
He nodded and said, "I understand. Although the enemy is strong, we must not give up easily. As long as we have the right methods and a united heart, there is nothing that cannot be overcome."
Having said that, he slowly drew the longsword from his back. In an instant, a cold glint flashed, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees. "Gentlemen, please follow my instructions. I will create opportunities for you as much as possible..."
Chapter 1223 Almost Turned to Ashes
Chapter 1223 Almost Turned to Ashes
Hearing this, the young hunter Xiao Zhang couldn't help but ask, "But can you handle this by yourself? Most of the people here are ordinary villagers..." His words were full of worry.
The middle-aged man quickly echoed his agreement, "The young man is right. This monster is enormous and incredibly strong; it would be very difficult to deal with it on one's own!"
Faced with everyone's doubts, Zhao De smiled slightly, seemingly having anticipated this reaction. "Don't worry, battles aren't just about brute force; they also require intelligence and teamwork. Trust me, the most important thing now is to trust each other." His tone was unusually calm, yet it possessed an irresistible power that reassured everyone.
Just as everyone was preparing to follow the instructions, a voice of doubt suddenly came from the crowd—it was the seemingly pessimistic old soldier from before.
"Hmph, easy for you to say! Do you know how much destruction it caused when it appeared last time? The entire village was almost reduced to ashes, and hundreds of people lost their lives!" As he said this, his eyes reddened slightly. "I don't want to see innocent lives lost like this again!"
Zhao De didn't immediately refute the veteran's words, but instead sighed softly. "I understand your worry and anger, but running away won't solve the problem. If we back down today, more villages will suffer tomorrow."
"He looked around at all the faces that were listening intently, "I know everyone is scared, confused, and even desperate, but now only by bravely facing the challenges can we hope to change our fate."
These words immediately drew many approving glances. Even the previously agitated children quieted down, tightly gripping the hands of the adults beside them, as if seeking comfort and offering encouragement.
Just then, another loud explosion came from afar; it seemed the enemy was getting closer...
"Alright, alright, there's no point in saying all that," a bold teenager shouted. "Anyway, if this guy is willing to help us, let's just go for it! Being afraid of this and that will only lead to nothing in the end, so let's just take the plunge!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing that the atmosphere had been stirred up, Zhao De quickly and concisely assigned tasks, emphasizing that close cooperation between the personnel in each position was essential for victory.
Just as everyone was making their preparations step by step, the masked man suddenly stepped forward and whispered to the mysterious man, "Sir, may I ask your age and name?"
Zhao De paused slightly, his gaze passing through the masked man to the faintly visible dark figure in the distance. He replied casually, "My name is Zhao De. Other details are not important." Then he immediately turned to the group and added, "Please remember, no matter what happens next, stay calm and trust your companions."
"Now that you mention it, it really piques my curiosity!" The masked man's voice was deep but tinged with amusement, seemingly unfazed by the lack of transparency in the information.
Meanwhile, as the villagers busied themselves setting up traps and defenses, many curious eyes turned to the legendary hero.
A young child tugged at his mother's arm, staring wide-eyed at the gleaming silver sword, and whispered, "Mommy, can this uncle really defeat that big monster?"

The woman stroked the child's head and said reassuringly, "Of course you can, Xiaoming. Uncle Zhao looks very capable."
