Multiple Personalities-Chapter 462: Magical Beast

His eyes were filled with despair, already struggling against the man in the black robe, and now with this terrifying Magical Beast, they had almost no chance of winning. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The black Magical Beast charged into the crowd, attacking indiscriminately. Wherever its flames reached, everything was reduced to ashes. Unable to evade in time, Lin Yu was grazed by the flames, his arm instantly burned, causing him to scream in pain.

"Ah! It hurts!" Lin Yu clutched his injured arm, his eyes full of pain and fury. He looked at the frenzied Magical Beast, a sense of resolve surged in his heart; even if he died, he would take the Monster down with him.

Shen Jingqi barely escaped from the black whirlwind, but before he could catch his breath, he was sent flying by a swipe of the Magical Beast's paw. He crashed heavily to the ground, spitting a mouthful of blood, feeling as if all the bones in his body were shattered.

Shen Jingqi's gaze was somewhat unfocused, but seeing his companions still resisting stubbornly, a desire to survive reignited in his heart.

Li Baiyu was forced to retreat repeatedly by the flames spewed by the Magical Beast. Her Magic had already drained a lot of her strength while dealing with the man in the black robe, making it even harder now facing this Magical Beast. She looked at her injured companions around her, feeling guilty and self-reproachful.

"It's all my fault, if only I could think of a better way..." Li Baiyu murmured to herself, tears welling up in her eyes. But she quickly pulled herself together, knowing it wasn't the time for self-blame, she had to find a way to turn the tide.

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, suddenly, a Jade Pendant worn by Lin Yu emitted a dazzling light. This Jade Pendant was a family heirloom, seemingly ordinary before, yet unexpectedly reacted at this critical moment.

The light grew increasingly intense, enveloping Lin Yu completely. The man in the black robe and the Magical Beast, seemingly drawn by the sudden brilliance, paused their attack, cautiously watching Lin Yu.

"What's happening?" the man asked in surprise, his eyes filled with confusion and anticipation. He faintly felt that this Jade Pendant might be the key to turning the tide.

Lin Yu himself was equally shocked as he looked at the glowing Jade Pendant on him, filled with bewilderment. Then suddenly, strange images and sounds appeared in his mind. In the images was an elder dressed in ancient attire, his voice deep and authoritative: "Child, this Jade Pendant I left for you is a guardian, containing great power. Now, it's time to awaken its strength."

Lin Yu struggled to concentrate, trying to communicate with the voice in his mind. "What should I do?" he asked in his heart.

"Calm your mind, feel the power within the Jade Pendant, and merge it with your own strength," the elder's voice sounded again.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself. He focused on feeling the warm and powerful force within the Jade Pendant. Gradually, he sensed his body was filled with power, as if endless energy was surging inside him.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was firm and resolute. He shouted loudly, the long sword in his hand emanating a dazzling light. He charged at the man in the black robe, swift as a lightning bolt.

The man in the black robe was startled by Lin Yu's transformation, quickly waving black mist to block him. But Lin Yu seemed to be in a barren land, effortlessly piercing the black mist, targeting the man's throat.

The man in the black robe sidestepped to evade, simultaneously summoning a black whirlwind again. However, Lin Yu was agile, navigating the whirlwind easefully, launching continuous attacks. Each attack carried great power, leaving the man in the black robe somewhat overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, Shen Jingqi and the man regained their composure, taking advantage of Lin Yu distracting the man in the black robe to attack the black Magical Beast. Shen Jingqi wielded a dagger, nimbly circling the Magical Beast, searching for its weak point. The man wielded a weapon, confronting the Magical Beast head-on. Though his strength wasn't as formidable, through sheer will and extensive battle experience, he managed to inflict some damage.

Li Baiyu was not idle either. She focused her energy to cast Magic again. Beams of stronger light shot from her hand, aimed at the black mist. This time, the light successfully dispelled more than half of the mist, significantly weakening the man in the black robe's power.

"Impossible! How can you become so strong suddenly!" the man in the black robe roared furiously, his voice full of resentment and fear. He never anticipated Lin Yu, whom he regarded as an ant, would awaken such formidable power at a crucial moment.

Lin Yu did not respond to his words, only looked at him coldly and swung his long sword again. The man in the black robe hurriedly evaded, but this time his movements were noticeably slower. Lin Yu seized the moment, darting forward, the long sword fiercely stabbing into the man in the black robe's shoulder.

The man in the black robe cried out in agony, retreating repeatedly. Looking at his wounded shoulder, his eyes filled with malice. "You think you can defeat me like this? So naive!" he shouted angrily, then rapidly made Seals with both hands, chanting words.

Suddenly, the cave began shaking violently, stones fell down. Shortly after, countless black tentacles emerged from underground, like living creatures, reaching out to entwine the crowd.

"Everyone, be careful!" the man shouted loudly. He swung his weapon, cutting down several tentacles approaching him, but more tentacles surged forward.

Lin Yu was also entangled by several tentacles, struggling hard, but the tentacles tightened even more. He looked at the man in the black robe, his heart full of anger and anxiety. "Could we still fail in the end?" he thought despairingly.

Just when everyone was in a desperate dilemma, suddenly, from outside the cave came the sound of a resounding horn. Immediately thereafter, a group of warriors in silver armor charged into the cave. They wielded long spears, launching a fierce attack at the black tentacles and the Magical Beast.

"Reinforcements! We're saved!" the man exclaimed excitedly. His eyes were full of hope, as if he saw the dawn of victory.

These silver-armored warriors were powerful, their attacks causing the black tentacles and the Magical Beast to retreat continually. The man in the black robe, seeing the reinforcements arrive, was enraged. "You even have reinforcements! But even if you're numerous, don't think you can stop me!" he shouted angrily and attempted to muster one last struggle with Magic.

But the silver-armored warriors did not give him this chance. They quickly dispersed, surrounding the man in the black robe completely. Then, they launched attacks simultaneously, countless light beams shooting at the man. Despite his desperate resistance, ultimately, overwhelmed by numbers, he was struck by the lights, his body crashing heavily to the ground.
