One-Eyed Monster-Chapter 724 - 721: This is Fate, Isn’t it?

The darkness will be dispelled by sunlight.

This is a law of nature.

Even in the coldest winter night, when the sun fails to rise the next day, all traces of darkness will vanish before dawn, just as the sun will set when night comes.

These are natural laws, difficult to alter.

Just like now, the lingering will of Wizard Reed, the power he gained by sacrificing his life, still could not alter the entire situation. In the face of the blazing sun, they were simply too insignificant.

The Power of Darkness is indeed formidable, but it can only manifest within its own domain of darkness. In the face of the sun's rays, they are inconsequential.

The adherents of the Dark Force had always sought to alter these natural laws. They believed they could overcome and change everything.

Now, facts proved that in the face of natural laws, they were nothing.

Everyone was exhausted. What seemed like a simple plan had turned out to be so thrilling in its execution.

Stan Sol was filled with emotion. He couldn't imagine how Igor had managed to arrange everything so tightly, with each link connecting so perfectly. It was truly incredible.

Yet, Stan Sol couldn't help but wonder as he watched the red flames reduce the Undead Creatures to ashes. Why is this Dark Force so afraid of sunlight? Or rather, is there something strange about this sunlight?

But when he stretched out his arm to feel it, everything was so natural… It seems we have truly returned to a world with a sun, not in someone's Illusionary Realm…

At this moment, Igor was no longer yelling as he had been just a moment ago. He had become increasingly calm.

The scene before them was the result of everyone's efforts. As the saying goes, "When everyone adds fuel, the flames rise high." For this alone, they could all feel proud and honored.

The Dark Force was now falling apart. The voice of that lingering will grew fainter and fainter. The once arrogant and mighty power was gradually disappearing, as if it had never been here.

The darkness vanished, and everything returned to normal. The sky was no longer hazy, and the Moonflow Stream once again made its gurgling sound. When night fell, moonlight would spill down, and the songs would continue as before.

The Power of Darkness was defeated just like that. That powerful existence probably wasn't even clear on how it had disappeared.

Never mind the Dark Force; even they themselves sometimes couldn't understand the reasoning behind it. Perhaps the reasoning was very simple, but they themselves hadn't thought of it.

The one who thought of this was Igor. This youth, through a series of plans, had caused a pivotal change in the entire situation, allowing them, who were not in an advantageous position, to immediately reclaim the initiative.

Perhaps this was the arrangement of fate, for this youth to become the savior of Guru Mountain.

After the sun came out, everything seemed refreshed, as if brand new. Even scenes they had witnessed before now looked different.

The exhausted group, some lying, some sitting, all panted heavily, as if they had just endured a series of tribulations.

Perhaps this experience didn't count as a tribulation for them, but it could certainly be considered a test.

The passing of the Dark Force made them begin to re-examine this change.

Everyone felt as if they had been reborn, gaining new insights into what had happened.

Like Kadi, who was quite excited at this moment. The role he played in the whole process was evident to everyone. Now, he looked at his left hand, then his right, somewhat lost in fascination.

Kadi was very excited; after all, he had just been running around covered in flames. He was savoring that moment of being wreathed in fire…

"Igor!" Hustace struggled to crawl to Igor's side. He felt he had gained so much from this trip, so much that it was a bit overwhelming; he didn't even know what he had truly experienced.

"Thank you, Hustace. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known how to dispel the darkness in the sky and would have just blindly attacked with Lightning!" Igor said, expressing his sincere gratitude upon seeing Hustace.

"You said we are friends; there's no need for thanks in such matters," Hustace replied. He was much better at communicating than before; it seemed that after experiencing such a test, he had undergone a sharp transformation. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The aloofness of the young master he once was had now completely vanished, replaced entirely by an approachable and friendly aura.

Kadi was still engrossed in playing with the fire on his hands, not noticing his surroundings at all. However, he didn't need to worry about anything around him anymore; the Dark Force had been defeated, and the threat had long since disappeared.

It was a rare moment of peace. Many chose to remain silent, reflecting on their gains and losses in this test…

At this moment, probably only Igor and Hustace could converse so animatedly.

Hustace's change was still quite significant. It had to be said, his gains should be considerable.

He was originally a flower cultivated in a greenhouse. Now, suddenly exposed to the wilderness and having experienced a baptism, he had grown.

"I've decided. I want to be a Scholar," Hustace said firmly. He had felt his strong calling before, and it was still the same feeling now.

"You have the talent for it; you can see those Symbols," Igor smiled. Seeing his friend's resolute decision, he himself was also very happy.

"Yes, I can see those Symbols, and I can even combine them. This is a Scholar's Numerical Sensing Skill, right?" Hustace was clearly quite knowledgeable about matters concerning Scholars.

"Heh heh, congratulations then, on finding what you were looking for." Igor's blessing was from the heart, without a hint of flattery.

Igor's purpose on this trip was also to find what he was looking for. What Igor wanted to find was courage. Unfortunately, at this moment, I still haven't found even a shadow of courage…

"It's a pity I can't be an Adventurer anymore. It will be difficult to go on adventures with you in the future," Hustace said, his tone full of regret. He had genuinely wanted to become an Adventurer…

Unfortunately, I don't have what it takes. Not to mention other things, just compared to Igor, I lack a great deal of courage.

"Everyone has something they are suited for. Some things we cannot force. This is all fate. What we are meant to be, we will eventually be," Igor replied faintly to Hustace.

Igor's reply not only surprised Hustace but also deeply shocked Stan Sol, who was listening nearby.

Sometimes, the words this youth spoke truly didn't match his age.

Just like the sentence he had just spoken, it was meaningful and thought-provoking the moment it left his lips.
