Chapter 259: Turmoil Resurfaces
There is no point in saying more. Whether the Shadow Ball can successfully replace the Shadow Tiger Lion depends on their final operation.

After the Shadow Ball was refined, Ivan had both of them mark it with his mental power, so that if any problem was discovered, everyone could take over control at any time.

Of all the people, Doug is of course the most nervous. He has invested the most energy and resources, and his personal interests are at stake. If the situation changes, he will most likely suffer immeasurable losses.

"Please, both of you, let's get started."

Seeing the two people looking at him, Doug nodded silently, indicating that they could begin.

Under Ivan's manipulation, the power of the strange objects and formations became active again, the original balance was broken, causing the shadow power and space cracks to rebound further, and everything around became restless in an instant.

Even the spatial barrier was shaking and was in danger of being destroyed.

"Wizard Doug, the first half of the step is up to you."

Along with Ivan's low roar, the shadow tiger-lion turned from white to black, and the original white stone statue quickly turned into thick black smoke, like ink that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.

Black spots began to appear on the shadow ball, and there were also signs of black mist.

After Doug performed his trick, the black smoke transformed by the shadow tiger and lion connected with the shadow ball, causing the latter's black mist degree to accelerate sharply and be continuously assimilated.

"Roar!"

When the shadow ball completely turned into black smoke, the shadow tiger-lion struggled hard, trying to break free from the rune chains while pulling the shadow ball towards its own direction.

In the hope of replacing each other's positions.

On one side, Ivan focused his main energy on the small bronze square. Not only did he have to maintain the operation of this strange object and the formation, and reduce the strength of the shadow tiger-lion's escape, but he also had to pay attention to the degree of damage to the strange object and the changes in the space cracks.

Solomon was certainly not idle either. This time he had to quell the turmoil by himself, and the pressure he faced could be imagined. He even released several of his commonly used humanoid puppets.

"Ding ding ding."

Under the frantic struggle of the shadow tiger-lion and the pull of other forces, the rune chains spreading down from the bronze pillars kept shaking and making crisp sounds.

Copper fragments and copper foam flew off the chains and scattered onto the small square.

As time passed, the rune chain became more and more damaged.

The three of them turned a deaf ear to this.

"Wizard Doug, now is the time."

After a while, Ivan realized that the Shadow Tiger Lion and the Shadow Ball had reached some strange balance, and he couldn't help but let out another low growl.

The shadow tiger lion roared loudly upon hearing this, and began to fight with all its might. The black smoke around it seemed particularly sticky and thick, and also particularly changeable. After just over half a minute of tension and anxiety, it finally changed positions with the shadow ball.

Looking again, the Shadow Ball has replaced the Shadow Tiger-Lion and is sitting in the center of the chain, surrounded by rune chains.

The shadow tiger-lion escaped from the cage, revealing its level three aura. It was clearly the best among level three creatures.

"Haha, it finally worked!" Doug laughed happily.

"Don't be happy too soon. The next half step is where the difficulty lies. If the shadow ball cannot bring a new balance, and if the space rift gets out of control, we will be in big trouble." Ivan said solemnly.

"I understand. From now on, I will follow your instructions." Doug knew that this was true, but there would still be a lot of trouble to come.

"You two stop chatting. Let your clones suppress the shadow power here and show the peerless style of the Son of Shadow." Solomon shouted not far away.

The replacement action just now was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The black water lake filled with shadow power was completely out of control. Chaos was everywhere, and even the motionless small bronze square was affected. It began to shake up and down, as if it would be swallowed up by the huge waves around it at any time.

The vibration of the space barrier was also intensifying, gradually approaching the edge of being out of control.

"no problem."

Seeing that Ivan had no objection, Doug sent out the Shadow Tiger Lion that had just escaped, and the Shadow Tiger Lion rushed directly towards the black water lake which was extremely poisonous to others.

As expected of the 'Sons of Shadows', wherever they pass, the black waters become peaceful.

Ivan ignored the two of them. His mind was all on the Shadow Ball. After the Shadow Ball replaced the Shadow Tiger-Lion, it was immediately hit by violent energy.

Under the impact of shadow power and space energy, the shadow ball began to expand and deform, twisting irregularly, which was terrifying to watch.

He has taken control of the Shadow Ball, and the primary rune magic array engraved in it is running rapidly, accommodating more shadow power and space energy while transforming these two violent energies.

The former is transformed into a special power with shadow characteristics, and the latter is refined into pure and gentle space energy, and even space energy crystallization.

In order to truly achieve this, Ivan needs to constantly adjust the rune lines and further optimize the shadow ball, so that it can be combined with the small bronze square into a new balance, thereby guarding the space crack.

"Wizard Ivan, is there a big problem?" Solomon asked after a while, "If there is a problem, we should think of other ways to escape as soon as possible."

"What are you talking about, Solomon? Don't you have confidence in Wizard Ivan?" Doug shouted before Ivan could say anything.

"Just in case, just in case we are unable to do it, we can find another plan. What do you think, Wizard Ivan?"

"The empty sac of this empty eel snake is good, strong and can withstand any damage. I think there won't be any problems." Ivan gave an answer that made both of them feel at ease. "However, I may need your help later."

"Just say hello."

Solomon readily agreed, seemingly not taking the turbulence in the surrounding space seriously.

The problems Ivan has to deal with involve two rune magic arrays, a strange object, a space crack, and the constant flow of shadow power. It is not an easy task to solve them completely, and it is no simpler than repairing a rune magic array.

According to his expectation, he would also have to face unexpected situations.

As he expected, the space crack would not 'surrender', and the space energy and shadow power transmitted through it increased sharply, forcing Ivan to call on two people for help. It took the combined strength of the three to suppress the shadow ball within a certain range.

And so, in turmoil and anxiety, the shadow ball slowly adapted to its position.

……

At sea, one can clearly see from below and all around that the unusual movement in the sky is like the mighty power of heaven, like dark clouds pressing down on a city, and there is also a strange black light falling like a sudden rain.

Under the ravages of the strange black light, the nearby islands and sea surfaces became restricted areas for all living creatures.

"Everyone, they must have reached a critical moment. If they don't act now, when will they act?"

Those who coveted the unknown land did not leave. The number increased from three to six. All six were second-level wizards who came from various places. Among them, Os Trollope was the most active.

"What do you think?"

"We all came here without any prior arrangement. No one should say anything to anyone else. We must all have our own ideas. As Wizard Trollope said, we should act when they are in a state of panic. Otherwise, we should just leave early."

"Why are you going to go? I don't have that much free time."

A few people realized that the opportunity was not to be missed, and without the need for others to mobilize, they all showed eagerness to move, and reached an agreement in a few words. For the sake of the peace of the Moon Clamp Peninsula, they wanted to go to the current strange place to explore, and absolutely would not allow outsiders to act recklessly.

Due to the formation formed by the twilight stone tablets, the best way to enter the strange place is to go through the island and ascend to the black cave entrance.

"Enemy attack!"

The six men of Os came out from their hiding place and headed straight for the island on the sea, making the Star-Moon Alliance wizards on the island feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The formation formed by the Dusk Stele was not effective in defense. No matter how well prepared Tess and her group were, they were no match for the attacking second-level wizard. It didn't take much effort before the situation collapsed.

"Maintain this rune magic formation honestly, otherwise you will never be able to escape." The six people of Oss did not kill them all, because the formation on the island needed people to maintain it.

After saying these harsh words, six people soared into the sky, and the protective shield blocked the alien black light that was splashing down.

"Have you informed the leader?"

"Damn it, these lunatics are so arrogant."

Tess and the others could only watch them fly into the black cave.

The six people had no idea what the people below were thinking, and even if they knew they would not care. They thought it was a favor for them to spare the life of a mere first-level wizard.

Through the black hole, Trollope and his six companions came into the space. What they saw was a monotonous scene that they could see the end of at a glance, and sparse figures.

"It seems that we have arrived at the right time." A wizard with a black scarf covering his face smiled. He saw three wizards opposite him guarding the small bronze square, probably suppressing something.

"Evan Marichatton, we finally caught you, the evil villain." Seeing one of the figures, Os Trollope's eyes turned red, and the murderous intent and hatred buried in his heart for many days could no longer be concealed.

"Be careful, there may be traps." Another masked wizard warned.

It is not difficult to sense that this space exudes an uncomfortable atmosphere, which makes people feel vaguely uneasy.

Among the six second-level wizards, some wore masks, some wore hoods, and some revealed their true faces, such as Trollope who was eager for revenge.

When Trollope recognized Iven, Iven also recognized the other person. As for the other people who were hiding, he couldn't tell who they were.

"One from the Torrent Twin Towers, two from the Black Reef Shelter, one from the Scorching Watchtower, and two from the Ruins of Gadan. Do you need me to tell you your exact names?" Doug looked back and revealed the origins of several people in one breath.

"How dare you!" His fearless look was undoubtedly unpleasant. "You must be the man behind the Moon-Star Alliance. You have caused cholera in the Moon-Piercing Peninsula for so long. It's time to pay the price."

"He is trying to delay time, don't waste time talking to him." The masked wizard reminded again.

On the other hand, facing the six second-level wizards who were about to attack, one of whom was his mortal enemy, and he was suppressing the turmoil in the Shadow Ball, Ivan felt very bad.

He could only pin his hopes on the two people next to him. Otherwise, he would have to give up suppressing the enemy and think of another way after he had dealt with the powerful enemy.

"You two, I'll leave this to you and I'll take care of the rest, okay?" Doug volunteered.

"Is it possible?" Solomon couldn't help but ask, "If not, I'll do it."

"Don't underestimate me. Don't forget, this is my home court." Doug said confidently.

"Go ahead." Ivan smacked his lips secretly and immediately agreed to his suggestion.

Seeing this, Solomon didn't say anything else. After all, this was Doug's territory, and Doug was the perfect person to deal with the invaders, provided that the other party could really fight one against six.

Extremely arrogant!

Seeing this scene, the six people on the opposite side were almost laughing out of anger, looking at Doug who was walking forward as if he were a dead man.

However, before they could get close, accompanied by the roar of a two-headed tiger-lion on the opposite side, the lake composed of black water became extremely excited, and black smoke was vast and covered the entire space in an instant.

At this moment, the Shadow Tiger Lion fully demonstrated what it meant to be the 'Son of Shadow' and maximized the home advantage.

"careful!"

"This thing is weird, everyone, don't stay too far away from it."

"Protect the flying beast. If it falls into the lake, it will be doomed."

The black smoke rolled up and wrapped up Trollope and his six companions, forcing them to stop advancing and go on the defensive to resist the alien forces flying all over the sky.

These shadow forces are highly corrosive and can petrify everything. Anyone who is not careful may be harmed, and a second-level wizard is no exception.

Secondly, second-level wizards do not have the ability to fly, so the six of them had to distract themselves to protect the flying beasts under their seats, which was undoubtedly a time-consuming and laborious task.

"Let me show you what true arrogance is."

Doug sneered repeatedly. He was different from the others.

He had been searching for the Son of Shadow for so long that he should have already found a way to deal with the Shadow Eclipse. Moreover, the Shadow Tiger-Lion had now become his clone.

Doug calmly released two puppets with the combat power of level 2 wizards. With the unusualness of the shadow tiger-lion, he had the confidence to fight one against six.

The battle broke out under the cover of black smoke, with rumbling sounds.

"Wizard Ivan, how long will it take here?" Solomon showed even stronger strength and easily replaced the vacancy left by Doug.

"Almost there," Ivan muttered in reply.

With his teammates being so supportive, he naturally couldn't fall behind, so he made up his mind.

He upgraded [Plane Studies] to level 5, activated the light of wisdom he had just brought, and considered the remaining problems of the shadow ball with a stronger mind. His hands did not stop moving, adjusting the rune lines at a faster speed, causing the shadow ball to shrink continuously.

After a while, a figure suddenly broke through the blockade of black smoke and rushed towards where Ivan was standing with murderous intent. It was clearly Os Trollope.

Trollope looked a little disheveled, his hair and back were stained with signs of petrification, but he didn't care about that now as he was seeking revenge for his son's death.

"Evan Marichatton, your time of death has come!"

"Look for me, I'll handle it."

Ivan was not flustered by this. Without waiting for Solomon to say anything, he left him and went to meet him.

The swamp ants and the queen silkworm waiting on the side followed along.

Ivan knew that after such a long period of adjustment, the strength shown by Solomon was more than enough to temporarily suppress the turmoil in the Shadow Ball.

He didn't know how Trollope broke through, but since the other party had named him, he certainly couldn't back down. As the saying goes, you can't even earn your dignity if you lose the chance.
