Chapter 250: Chapter 250: I’m Jealous

Yang Yu called out to Bai Jin and Iyas to quickly stand on the makeshift raft, and the bag filled with Black Energy turned into a balloon, carrying their raft to slowly ascend into the sky, drifting towards the huge black bubble.

As Bai Jin and Iyas marveled at Yang Yu’s ingenious idea, Yang Yu just urged them to be ready for the continued battle.

Not long after they had taken flight, a flock of black creatures shaped like birds surged out of the bubble, rapidly attacking them.

Thanks to Yang Yu’s warning, Iyas and Bai Jin were well-prepared and wiped out the flying black creatures in one fell swoop.

The shape-shifting black creatures and those four black shadows provided Bai Jin and Iyas with a large amount of Experience, pushing them close to the major milestone of Level 50.

Now, after defeating these flying black creatures, Bai Jin and Iyas had already broken through the milestone, with Iyas even soaring directly to Level 53.

Yang Yu felt a pang of envy, as he hadn’t anticipated that the Experience here would be so abundant. They hadn’t fought many monsters, yet Bai Jin and Iyas’s Experience shot up dramatically.

Perhaps, this was also one of the traps set by the shadows, using Experience to overfeed those who came and then using a fairy’s Barrier to kick the helpers out.

Yang Yu declared that he would take on such a trap himself. He promised to keep his Level well in check and to complete the Task perfectly under this condition.

Who knew if it was Iyas’s luck that played a part, but the attacking black creatures were fewer than expected. By the time they were fully close to the black bubble, no more black creatures came to stop them.

The black bubble showed no signs of bursting, simply allowing them to approach slowly.

Their flying raft touched the black bubble, and then, under some gravitational force, they passed through the boundary of the black bubble without incident.

Inside the black bubble was endless Darkness, created by the equally pitch-black Black Energy.

Bai Jin raised her hand and lit a lamp with Magic, but the faint light could not penetrate the boundless Darkness, only just making out the people on the raft.

Accidentally inhaling a few breaths of Black Energy, unpleasant memories began to surface before Yang Yu.

It was like accidentally killing a chicken at the entrance of the village in a game, resulting in being chased by the whole village wielding knives.

Like finally being about to complete a racing game, only for the game to bug at the finish line, not allowing any further progress.

Like playing a new game for twenty-four straight hours, shutting down to sleep, then waking to find he had forgotten to save the game.

His eyes opening and closing, Yang Yu dispelled the painful images before him, and once again, he was left with profound Darkness. He hurriedly opened his panel to check his current Status and was startled to find a thin icon added on his Status Bar.

It was the exact icon that had appeared on both He Meng and the fairies.

Even if the Black Energy’s influence on humans was minimal, it was not entirely without effect.

Humans could also be affected by "Despair Devour."

Using the dim light, Yang Yu glanced at Iyas and Bai Jin beside him, their complexions pale, brows deeply furrowed, also afflicted by "Despair Devour," with numerous painful memories surfacing before them.

"Bai Jin, Iyas, brace yourselves. I think we’re getting close to the center of the dark bubble."

Yang Yu’s reminder instantly brought Bai Jin and Iyas back to reality. They exchanged glances and finally, resigned to a smile, said nothing.

As the balloon delved deeper, the raft slowed to a crawl and finally came to a complete standstill, suspended in the black energy, motionless.

Yang Yu took out the scroll and asked Iyas, "Iyas, use your intuition to tell me, where exactly is the center of the dark bubble?"

"I feel it’s over there, about twenty meters away," Iyas didn’t know why Yang Yu asked her to use her intuition, but she did as instructed nonetheless.

"Alright, that’s decided. Bai Jin, activate the scroll, and when it’s about time, throw the scroll there."

Saying this, Yang Yu tossed the scroll to Bai Jin.

Bai Jin hastily opened the scroll, infusing her magic power into it. White patterns appeared on the scroll, emitting a bright light, slowly beginning to activate.

When it was time, Bai Jin nervously threw the scroll towards the center of the dark bubble.

A dazzling light instantly illuminated the dark bubble, and the scroll floated in mid-air. Three enormous rings appeared inside the scroll, interlocking with each other, revealing an extremely complicated magic array, devouring the darkness, claiming all this dark strength for itself.

The light emanating from the array grew more and more brilliant, and soon, the endless black energy exploded like a cosmic explosion. The three enormous arrays broke into countless smaller arrays, scattering into the endless darkness.

Each array shone like a bright star, radiating intense light,

forming a beautiful galaxy.

Even though he couldn’t see the operation of these arrays, Yang Yu could feel the surrounding black energy slowly dissipating, disappearing into this warmth.

Even the black energy they had captured was gradually dispersing under the purification of these lights.

The deflated balloon caused the raft carrying Yang Yu and the others to lose its buoyancy, starting to descend slowly, finally passing through the lower boundary of the bubble.

Having stowed the canvas bag, Yang Yu let the piece of cloth that had enveloped the balloon catch the wind during the descent, becoming a parachute and playing a crucial role in slowing them down.

They landed steadily on the lake, barely causing a ripple.

The three of them looked up at the enormous dark bubble, which experienced an unprecedented explosion, bursting into countless glinting stars, sprinkling down to the earth, falling into the pitch-black lake.

This golden light swept past Yang Yu without causing any discomfort; on the contrary, he felt an indescribable comfort.

The whole lake seemed to have been ignited by this golden blaze. In the lake, hidden Corruptors were lurking, yet as soon as they touched the golden light, they immediately turned to ash, leaving nothing behind but the pure, unblemished lake water.

Then, the golden flames, which had not yet fully burned out, gradually gathered together, forming into a gigantic magic array, descending from top to bottom.

After clearing the remaining black energy, the lights within the barrier slowly condensed into a massive magic array.

This magic array kept shrinking and shrinking until at last, it contracted to the middle of the lake, blocking the entrance to the darkness, and everything returned to calm.
