Mark quickly got up and protected Albert behind him. He pushed out his hands, and the energy in his body exploded to form a translucent barrier. The surface of the barrier was covered with golden runes, like swimming golden dragons, blocking the attack of the statue.

The giant palm of the statue slapped on the barrier, making a deafening sound, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. The entire dilapidated temple shook violently, the beams above the head made a "creaking" sound, and dust and gravel fell like raindrops.

The barrier trembled violently, rippling, but it finally resisted the attack.

Mark felt a powerful force rebounding back, he clenched his teeth, veins on his forehead bulged, and he tried his best to maintain the stability of the barrier.

Albert struggled to stand up, one hand supporting the broken wall, the other hand covering his chest, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were bloodless. He took a deep breath, endured the severe pain from the broken ribs, and slowly condensed a green energy ball in his hand.

The energy ball emitted a soft light, like a firefly, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim temple. He aimed at the head of the statue and shot the energy ball fiercely. The energy ball cut through the air, making a "whoosh" sound, and hit the statue with a muffled sound, like beating a drum.

A small crack appeared on the head of the statue, and spider-web-like patterns spread around the crack, but no substantial damage was caused.

The statue roared angrily, the sound was like the roar of a beast, and the walls of the temple began to collapse. Debris and dust fell like raindrops, filling the air, making it almost impossible to open your eyes.

The statue attacked Mark and Albert again, and the huge palm was like a mountain pressing down on them, with a devastating force, and slapped them fiercely.

Mark mobilized the black matter to form a black armor outside his body, and the surface of the armor was covered with spikes, like a hedgehog. At the same time, he increased the defense of the barrier to the maximum, and the golden runes on the barrier became more dazzling, like golden dragons tumbling and flying.

Albert continued to condense energy balls, harassing the statue, trying to find its weakness. The energy balls cut through the air like a meteor, hitting the statue, making a muffled sound. Although no substantial damage was caused, it also slowed down the statue's movements slightly.

The two sides fought fiercely in the dilapidated temple. Dust flew, gravel splashed, and the beams in the temple kept breaking, making a "crackling" sound. The whole temple seemed to collapse at any time.

Mark found that although the statue was powerful, it was slow in movement and had a single attack mode. He seized the opportunity, and his figure flashed like a ghost, and went around behind the statue.

The back of the statue was engraved with complex runes, and the runes emitted a strange light, like flowing blood. Mark aimed the fragments of the holy stone at the runes on the back of the statue, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Now!" Mark shouted, and a long sword shining with golden light took shape instantly. The moment the long sword pierced the rune, dazzling light burst out, illuminating the entire ruined temple.

In the light, the statue's movements suddenly stopped, and it let out a painful roar. Its huge body began to tremble, and cracks began to appear on the surface of the stone, spreading like a spider web.

"Albert, keep attacking!" Mark gritted his teeth and continued to input energy into the statue through the long sword. Albert nodded, and the green energy ball in his hand bombarded the statue's head one after another.

The impact of the energy ball explosion made the cracks on the statue's head bigger and bigger, and the stones kept falling off.

The roar of the statue became weaker and weaker, and its movements became slower and slower. It struggled to get rid of the restraint of the long sword, but Mark held the long sword tightly, preventing it from moving at all.

"Hurry! It can't hold on!" Mark's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and he could feel that the energy in the statue was approaching saturation point.

Albert took a deep breath and gathered all the energy in his body into his hands, forming a huge green energy ball. The energy ball emitted a dazzling light, almost illuminating the entire temple.

"Go to hell!" Albert roared, and smashed the energy ball in his hand hard at the head of the statue. The moment the energy ball hit the head of the statue, there was a deafening explosion. The whole temple shook violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

Dust and rubble fell like a rainstorm, blocking everyone's sight. After the explosion, there was silence in the temple. The dust gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of the statue.

The head of the statue was completely shattered, leaving only the broken torso standing there, motionless.
