The low, thunderous roar rolled across the distance like a muffled storm, vibrating the ground and saturating the air with an oppressive weight that made breathing difficult. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAMnsUNsApaW

Arya’s face paled as she gripped her staff, her azure eyes wide with fear. She tugged at Lu Feng’s arm, her voice trembling. “That sound… It’s from the minions of the Abyssal Lord. They’re even fiercer than ogres.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAub2hB9NhGg
225Please respect copyright.PENANANCfsuwzyqI
A flicker of resolve crossed Lu Feng’s brow. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here,” he said quietly, his steady voice washing over her like warm water, dissolving her panic. “No matter what, I’ll protect you—and everyone else in these lands.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAhfAOie5x81
225Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZC0YRTnY9
Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAWRpMjvB6Up
225Please respect copyright.PENANAlIVQ7iUeTt
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAUIOs6C0Ph6
225Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2HBUN7sXX
Arya nodded, her voice sharpening with focus. “The terrain here is complex. There are natural traps we can use to lure the enemy in and strike from advantage.” Her tone carried the confidence of familiarity. “I’ve lived in these woods for years. I know every path.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAo1tldYiDRq
225Please respect copyright.PENANAjNWAAn7Lgg
Lu Feng raised an eyebrow, impressed. “You’re incredible. Back when I played *Wanling War Chronicles*, I’d always get lost in terrain like this.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANArACBpvN9Y9
225Please respect copyright.PENANAsMVarAAU5a
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANApIccXSAy31
225Please respect copyright.PENANA21S9eo4nCL
Banter aside, Lu Feng activated his tactical simulator, its screen flashing with rapid data and scenario projections. He muttered as he analyzed, “These abyssal creatures rely on dark energy—enhanced speed and strength, but their weakness is light magic and sacred energy. We can exploit that.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAkpTigPBOUX
225Please respect copyright.PENANA3nSACQNaIR
Arya’s eyes lit up. “Light magic is my specialty. If we combine my spells with your tactics, we can create a countermeasure.” Together, they swiftly devised a meticulous strategy. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAFV5yM5m5Hk
225Please respect copyright.PENANAzfd8je6SLX
As they prepared, Lu Feng noticed the Shadowcat acting unusually alert near the encroaching enemies. Observing closely, he realized it could sense the dark aura radiating from the creatures. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAlhyPARXCLt
225Please respect copyright.PENANAdeIQzqHcuP
He knelt and stroked the Shadowcat’s fur. “We’re counting on you to warn us,” he whispered. The feline nodded, its intelligent eyes gleaming as it began patrolling the perimeter like a silent sentinel. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAKFbFRvJMBs
225Please respect copyright.PENANAbLErJjR7u2
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAi69oUKG3C0
225Please respect copyright.PENANAXD8Khg6wWH
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA4d4G38OJUx
225Please respect copyright.PENANAoIXNDHzVaM
“They’re here,” Lu Feng whispered, raising his staff as a faint glow enveloped him. Beside him, Arya’s staff blazed with warm, radiant power. The Shadowcat bristled on his shoulder. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAwVtObprnf8
225Please respect copyright.PENANAXpPNrAXOto
The first wave of abyssal horrors emerged, and the group sprang into action. Using pre-set traps, they funneled the monsters into a killing zone. The ground split open, jagged stone spikes impaling swathes of foes. The Shadowcat’s warnings let them dodge lethal ambushes. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAEYVXROGo1t
225Please respect copyright.PENANAoRyr7JzLzl
The battle raged. Lu Feng commanded with the precision of a conductor, directing warriors into defensive formations to whittle down the enemy. Arya’s light beams seared through the darkness, eliciting agonized shrieks. The Shadowcat darted across the battlefield, exposing hidden threats. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA4pDac940Cd
225Please respect copyright.PENANArj81UcizeZ
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA6hij4NDDv9
225Please respect copyright.PENANArE19nSRZNR
The Shadowcat yowled, pointing toward the forest’s heart. A thunderous crash echoed as a three-story-tall monstrosity erupted from the trees, shrouded in black mist. Its glowing green eyes burned with malice, and the stench of sulfur choked the air. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAVcm8ZwZhdW
225Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ojrLuWYP
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA6VZXcpoyso
225Please respect copyright.PENANAuRsXyfE8LG
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAk27wTbBzos
225Please respect copyright.PENANAlgjm3hKj31
***CRACK!*** 225Please respect copyright.PENANASZbRP5qCxQ
225Please respect copyright.PENANAGRRmoCpYGP
The beast slammed into the barrier, denting it inward. The shield groaned, fissures spiderwebbing across its surface. Arya’s face whitened, blood trickling from her lips. “It’s… too strong! I can’t hold it!” 225Please respect copyright.PENANASTFRCMe2NO
225Please respect copyright.PENANAslaYRclqk4
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
