Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

The surrounding air seemed to solidify, and a heart-pounding energy wave quickly condensed around the dark wizard, forming a huge black vortex that seemed to swallow everything.

"Feel the despair, you ants! You are seeking your own death!" The dark wizard's arrogant voice echoed in the night sky. He held up the skull staff. The eyes of the skull on the top of the staff were burning with dark green flames, which looked particularly terrifying.

The black vortex grew larger and larger, the wind howled, sand and rocks flew, and the sky and earth were dark, as if the end of the world had come. The powerful pressure made Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen almost unable to breathe, and they felt as if their bodies were about to be torn apart by this force.

"Mengmeng, be careful!" Xiao Yichen protected Chu Mengmeng behind him, staring firmly at the black vortex in front of him. He knew that this was the strongest attack of the dark wizard, and if they couldn't resist it, they would all die here.

"Yeah!" Chu Mengmeng tightly grasped the corner of Xiao Yichen's clothes, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him, her heart filled with emotion and determination.

"Hah!" Xiao Yichen shouted, and rushed out like an arrow. The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, drawing silver arcs in the darkness, as if to tear the darkness apart.

The dark wizard sneered at Xiao Yichen who was rushing towards him, his eyes full of disdain. He gently waved the skeleton staff in his hand, and countless black lightnings shot out from the black vortex, winding around Xiao Yichen like a poisonous snake.

Xiao Yichen dodged flexibly, relying on the exquisite swordsmanship he had practiced for many years, he shuttled freely in the dense black lightning, constantly looking for the flaws of the dark wizard. He knew that it was not wise to confront him head-on, and only by finding the weakness of the dark wizard could he defeat the enemy with one blow.

Black lightning continued to bombard Xiao Yichen's surroundings, blasting out deep pits, but he remained calm, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, looking for a glimmer of hope.

"It's useless, ant! In front of my dark magic, all your struggles are in vain!" The dark wizard laughed arrogantly, as if he had already seen the scene of Xiao Yichen being swallowed by black lightning.

However, Xiao Yichen ignored the dark wizard's ridicule. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his body suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the dark wizard like a flash of lightning... Chu Mengmeng stared at everything in front of her, praying silently in her heart. She knew that now was not the time for her to take action. She had to wait for the best time to exert the maximum power of the artifact. She took a deep breath and slowly raised her hands. A powerful energy wave surged out of her body, and the space around her began to vibrate violently...

"Now is the time!" Chu Mengmeng suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of determination... The artifact in her hand emitted a dazzling light, and golden beams gushed out from the artifact, like a golden net, covering the entire battlefield. Wherever the golden beams passed, the black lightning dissipated, as if ice and snow met the sun and melted quickly.

"What is this?!" The dark wizard exclaimed. He clearly felt that his power was being weakened, and the originally violent black lightning became much gentler. He looked at the artifact in Chu Mengmeng's hand with doubt, his eyes full of greed and fear.

"Meng Meng, well done!" Xiao Yichen was inspired upon seeing this, and swung the dagger in his hand more fiercely. The black lightning was no longer a big threat to him. He seized the opportunity and rushed forward again, with the dagger pointing directly at the dark wizard's throat.

The dark wizard was suppressed by the golden beam, and his movements were greatly restricted. He could only watch Xiao Yichen approaching. He roared, mobilized the remaining magic power in his body, and formed a black light shield in front of him, trying to resist Xiao Yichen's attack.

"Dang!" The dagger collided with the light shield, making a sharp metal collision sound and sparks flying. Xiao Yichen was knocked back a few steps, and cracks appeared on the dark wizard's light shield.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and the battle entered a white-hot stage. Chu Mengmeng continued to use the power of the artifact, and golden beams poured down like raindrops, firmly suppressing the dark mage. Xiao Yichen seized every opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the dark mage, trying to find his flaws and kill him with one blow.

The dark wizard was forced to retreat step by step, and he became more and more terrified. He knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he raised his head and roared to the sky: "Even if I die, I will take you with me!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were startled, realizing that the dark wizard was going to fight to the death, and immediately became more alert...

As soon as the dark wizard finished speaking, the black mist on his body suddenly rolled violently, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the entire battlefield. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.

"Mengmeng, are you ready?" Xiao Yichen asked in a deep voice, the knuckles of his fingers holding the dagger turning white.

"Yes!" Chu Mengmeng nodded firmly. The artifact in her hand made a buzzing sound, as if responding to her determination.

"Okay, let's attack together!" Xiao Yichen shouted in a low voice, and his figure shot out like an arrow. The dagger in his hand drew a sharp cold light and went straight to the dark wizard's chest.

At the same time, Chu Mengmeng poured all her spiritual power into the artifact without reservation. The artifact shone brightly, and a golden beam thicker than any previous one shot up into the sky, fiercely blasting towards the dark wizard with the power to destroy the world.

Faced with this devastating blow, a trace of despair flashed in the dark wizard's eyes, but he still roared and injected all the remaining magic power into the black light shield in front of him.

"boom!"

The golden beam collided with the black light shield, making a deafening explosion. The entire space shook violently, and the violent energy aftermath spread out in all directions like a tsunami, destroying all the surrounding trees.

When the light faded, the dark wizard was seen half-kneeling on the ground in a panic, his black robe was tattered, and a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His black light shield had been completely shattered, and the staff in his hand was broken into two pieces.

“Cough cough…” The dark wizard coughed violently, his eyes filled with resentment and resentment, “You…you actually…”

"It's over." Xiao Yichen looked at him coldly and slowly raised the dagger in his hand.

However, at this moment, the dark wizard suddenly raised his head, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. He opened his mouth and roared with his last bit of strength: "Do you think... you can defeat me like this? I... I will come back..."

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes, and he was about to step forward to kill the Dark Wizard, but he saw the Dark Wizard's body tremble, and suddenly looked up at the sky.

"Hahaha... do you think it's the end?" The dark wizard laughed wildly, his laughter was full of despair and unwillingness, but also mixed with a hint of strange excitement.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were shocked and looked up at the same time, only to see that the originally clear sky had been covered by thick black clouds at some point. A powerful pressure slowly descended from the sky, making people feel uneasy.

A black beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the dying dark wizard. The dark wizard's laughter suddenly stopped, replaced by a painful roar, and his body twisted violently in the black beam of light, as if he was enduring great pain.

"What's going on?" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed and subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yichen's arm.

Xiao Yichen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, things may not be that simple!"

The black beam of light became more and more dazzling, and the blinding light forced Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen to close their eyes. When the light faded, the figure of the dark wizard was no longer there, and only a few pieces of black cloth were floating in the wind.

"He... he is gone?" Chu Mengmeng opened her mouth in surprise and looked at the empty land in front of her in disbelief.

Xiao Yichen's face was solemn. He shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice: "No, he did not disappear, but was taken away."

"Taken away? Who took him away?" Chu Mengmeng became even more confused, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart.

Xiao Yichen did not answer, but looked up at the sky with a deep and distant gaze. He knew that there were many secrets hidden in this continent that they did not know, and this mysterious power was likely the mastermind behind all of this.

"Let's go back first." Xiao Yichen retracted his gaze and turned to look at Chu Mengmeng, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Chu Mengmeng nodded, tightly grasped the artifact in her hand, and secretly decided in her heart that she must improve her strength as soon as possible to uncover the truth behind this.

The two men turned and walked away, heading towards the castle, leaving behind only the devastated battlefield and the unsettling silence.

The wind blew through the woods, making a rustling sound, as if telling of the fierceness of the battle. In the distance, a pair of eyes hidden in the dark were watching all this coldly...
