Chapter 32: The Decisive Battle Against the Blazing Crystal Beast and the Truth of the Ruins

Kyle gripped the stardust blade tightly and rushed towards the Blazing Crystal Beast first. The ground beneath his feet kicked up clouds of dust as he ran at high speed. The Blazing Crystal Beast let out a deafening roar, and the sound waves echoed in the cave, making everyone's eardrums ache. Its huge body crouched slightly, and then it pounced on Kyle with a sudden lunge, creating a strong gust of wind that instantly dispersed the surrounding mist.

Kyle nimbly dodged to the side. The claws of the Blazing Crystal Beast swiped past the edge of his clothes, making a sharp sound as they tore through the air. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kyle waved the stardust blade and slashed at the Blazing Crystal Beast's leg. The stardust power shining on the blade was like a flowing galaxy, emitting a dazzling light. With a "clang" sound, the stardust blade struck the Blazing Crystal Beast's blazing crystal armor, sending out a shower of sparks, but only leaving a shallow mark. The Blazing Crystal Beast winced in pain and angrily whipped its tail. The tail was like a thick blazing crystal stone pillar, sweeping towards Kyle with tremendous force.

Kyle quickly leaped backward to avoid the tail's attack. At this moment, Alicia seized the opportunity. She held the energy gun tightly with both hands and pulled the trigger continuously. The beams of the energy gun were like streams of scorching lasers, shooting towards the Blazing Crystal Beast's eyes with a shrill whistling sound. The Blazing Crystal Beast sensed the danger and suddenly turned its head. The beams hit its armor, splashing out patches of light. Alicia's eyes showed determination and concentration, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. She kept adjusting the shooting angle, trying to hit the Blazing Crystal Beast's vital parts again.

Morgan stood aside, muttering something under his breath and waving his hands quickly. The light around his body became even stronger. Those illusions quickly condensed and dissipated around the Blazing Crystal Beast, interfering with its movements. The illusions made a faint humming sound, like a mysterious incantation, causing the Blazing Crystal Beast's actions to hesitate briefly. A trace of fatigue appeared on Morgan's face, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit. He knew the importance of his ability in this battle and tried his best to maintain the operation of the illusions.

Cavin raised his staff high. The gemstone at the top of the staff shone brightly, like a small burning sun. He chanted an ancient incantation in a low and solemn voice, as if the sound came from the depths of distant years. Streams of energy waves surged out from the staff, like turbulent waves, sweeping towards the Blazing Crystal Beast. The energy waves hit the Blazing Crystal Beast, making a dull sound and causing its body to tremble slightly. Veins stood out on Cavin's forehead as he exerted all his strength, trying to weaken the Blazing Crystal Beast.

Despite the attacks from everyone, the Blazing Crystal Beast did not back down. It opened its huge mouth and spewed out a massive column of fire. The column of fire carried billowing heat waves and instantly enveloped Kyle. Kyle quickly gathered the stardust power in front of him to form a protective shield. The shield emitted a soft blue light, countering the high temperature of the column of fire. The column of fire crashed into the shield, making a "sizzling" sound and sending countless sparks flying. The heat wave rushed towards Kyle, making his skin tingle with pain. But he gritted his teeth and firmly maintained the shield.

Seeing this, Alicia immediately adjusted the energy output of the energy gun to the maximum and fired at the Blazing Crystal Beast's mouth. Streaks of strong light hit the Blazing Crystal Beast, forcing it to stop spitting fire temporarily. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kyle quickly rushed towards the Blazing Crystal Beast. He leaped high into the air, and the stardust blade in his hand shone with a dazzling light as he stabbed towards the Blazing Crystal Beast's neck. The Blazing Crystal Beast reacted quickly and blocked Kyle's attack with its front paw. The sound of metal clashing echoed in the cave.

Morgan concentrated his mind and gathered all the illusions near the Blazing Crystal Beast's front paw, trying to interfere with its movements. The illusions spun rapidly around the Blazing Crystal Beast's front paw, making a harsh sound that irritated the beast. It waved its front paw vigorously, trying to disperse the illusions, and this movement exposed a brief flaw.

Kyle seized this opportunity, gathered all the stardust power in his body in the stardust blade, and stabbed towards the Blazing Crystal Beast's chest. The stardust blade, with great force, pierced through the Blazing Crystal Beast's armor and sank into its body. The Blazing Crystal Beast let out a painful roar, and its body trembled violently. It shook its body vigorously, throwing Kyle out.

Kyle landed heavily on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Kyle!" Alicia and Morgan exclaimed in surprise and wanted to rush over, but were forced back by the Blazing Crystal Beast's attack. Cavin increased the output of the energy waves, trying to hold the Blazing Crystal Beast in check and buy time for Kyle.

Kyle struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed an unyielding light. He gathered the stardust power again, ready to continue the battle. At this time, scorching magma kept gushing out from the Blazing Crystal Beast's wound, and its movements became a bit sluggish, but the fierceness in its eyes remained undiminished.

Alicia took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and held the energy gun steadily with both hands. She aimed at the Blazing Crystal Beast's wound and fired continuously. The energy beams accurately hit the wound, making the Blazing Crystal Beast roar in pain. Morgan controlled the illusions, constantly creating chaos around the Blazing Crystal Beast, making it difficult for the beast to focus on attacking.

Cavin chanted the incantation while moving his steps, trying to attack the Blazing Crystal Beast from different angles. The energy waves from his staff were like agile snakes, constantly coiling around the Blazing Crystal Beast's body, weakening its strength.

Kyle seized the opportunity and rushed towards the Blazing Crystal Beast again. As he ran, the stardust power formed a shining light layer on his body, as if he was draped in a magnificent battle robe. He leaped high into the air, and the stardust blade in his hand slashed towards the Blazing Crystal Beast's head with the force of breaking the wind. The Blazing Crystal Beast tried to dodge, but was interfered with by Morgan's illusions and was half a beat slower in its movement.

With a "click" sound, the stardust blade struck the Blazing Crystal Beast's head and split open its blazing crystal armor. The Blazing Crystal Beast swayed a few times and then collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The cave suddenly fell silent, with only the heavy breathing of everyone.

The four of them sat on the ground, exhausted. Looking at the fallen Blazing Crystal Beast, a complex emotion welled up in their hearts. "It's finally over." Alicia let out a sigh of relief and a gratified smile appeared on her face, but there was still a trace of lingering fear of having survived a disaster in her eyes.

Kyle stood up, walked over to the Blazing Crystal Beast's corpse, and carefully observed its body structure. "The armor and power of this Blazing Crystal Beast seem to have some connection with the stardust power." he said, his eyes shining with a thoughtful light.

Morgan also came over, picked up a piece of the Blazing Crystal Beast's armor fragment, and studied the patterns on it. "That's right. Maybe this is the key to our understanding of the stardust power." There was a look of curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.

Cavin put away his staff and walked up to Kyle. "According to the records in the ancient book, the blazing crystal we found should be one of the ritual materials. But there are still other materials to be found." There was a trace of urgency in his tone.

Kyle nodded and looked around the cave. There was a faint mist in the cave, and various strange crystals and ores emitted colorful lights in the mist. In the depths of the cave, there seemed to be another door.

"Maybe the other materials are behind that door." Kyle said, his eyes full of anticipation.

The four of them walked towards the depths of the cave. As they got closer, the door gradually became clearer. The door was engraved with complex patterns and symbols, which were different from the ones they had seen in the ruins before. Kyle used the stardust power, trying to open the door. Under the influence of the stardust power, the symbols on the door flashed with light, and the door slowly opened.

Behind the door was a huge room. In the center of the room was a large stone platform, and there was a groove on the stone platform, which seemed to be used for placing items. Around the stone platform, there were patterns and characters about the stardust power engraved.

Kyle stepped forward and put the blazing crystal they had found into the groove. Instantly, the patterns and characters on the stone platform began to flash, and a powerful energy fluctuation filled the air. Kyle and the others watched this scene in surprise, their hearts full of anticipation.

Suddenly, some images appeared on the walls of the room, showing the history of this ruin and the truth about the stardust power.
