Chapter 35: The Fierce Battle Rages On and a Sudden Turn of Events

In front of the warehouse, the battle between Kyle and his companions and Sakka along with his subordinates was on the verge of breaking out. Sakka wore a ferocious smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, his subordinates swarmed towards the main characters like a tide. These subordinates held all kinds of strange-looking weapons, and a fierce and greedy look showed in their eyes.

Kyle struck first. He infused the stardust power into his legs and rushed towards the enemies like a black bolt of lightning. His figure shuttled quickly through the enemy group. Every punch he threw carried great power, and the gust of his fist whistled, knocking the approaching enemies flying. Alicia followed closely behind. She held the energy gun tightly with both hands, her eyes focused and calm, constantly adjusting the shooting angle. The beams of the energy gun were like dazzling shooting stars, accurately hitting the enemies' vital parts. The hit enemies fell to the ground one after another, moaning in pain.

Morgan stood in place, waving his hands quickly and muttering something. A faint layer of light rippled around his body. Then, countless illusions separated from him and pounced towards the enemies. These illusions had various forms. Some held sharp blades, and some released strange energy fluctuations. For a moment, the enemy group fell into chaos. Sakka's subordinates couldn't tell which attack was real and could only wave their weapons blindly. There were frequent cases of them attacking each other.

Cavin stood at the rear. He held his staff high and chanted an ancient incantation. The gemstone at the top of the staff shone brightly, releasing powerful streams of energy waves. These energy waves were like an invisible force, spreading through the enemy group and knocking the enemies off balance. There were beads of sweat on Cavin's forehead. He knew the importance of this battle and exerted all his strength to cast the magic.

Seeing his subordinates fall into chaos, Sakka was furious. He charged towards Kyle himself, holding a long knife that emitted a black light in his hand. The long knife was engraved with mysterious runes and seemed to contain powerful power. Sakka waved the long knife, and the light of the knife flashed as he slashed towards Kyle. Kyle quickly dodged to the side, and the long knife struck the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Hmph, do you think you can defeat me with just you?" Sakka said viciously. "You're all going to die here today!"

Kyle didn't say a word. He stared closely at Sakka, and a firm determination showed in his eyes. He gathered the stardust power again, and a long sword made of stardust appeared in his hand. The long sword emitted a dazzling light, and a faint halo surrounded the sword body. Kyle waved the stardust long sword and engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle with Sakka.

The figures of the two moved quickly on the battlefield, and the sound of their weapons clashing was unceasing. Sakka's swordsmanship was fierce and sharp, and every attack carried a killing intent. While Kyle, by skillfully using the stardust power, deftly avoided Sakka's attacks and at the same time looked for opportunities to counterattack.

Alicia kept observing the situation during the battle. She found that although Sakka's subordinates were numerous, they had gradually fallen into chaos under the interference of Morgan's illusions. So, she turned her target to Sakka. She quietly circled behind Sakka, raised her energy gun, and aimed at Sakka's back. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, Sakka seemed to sense the danger. He suddenly turned around and blocked Alicia's attack with his long knife.

"You're still too young, little girl!" Sakka sneered.

Alicia didn't back down. She engaged in close combat with Sakka. With her agile skills, she shuttled through the gaps in Sakka's attacks, looking for opportunities to strike. However, Sakka's strength was too great, and Alicia gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

When Morgan saw that Alicia was in trouble, he immediately controlled the illusions to attack Sakka. The illusions rushed towards Sakka from all directions, trying to interfere with his movements. Sakka waved his long knife and shattered the approaching illusions one by one. But the illusions kept emerging continuously, making him a bit overwhelmed.

Cavin also increased the output of his magic at the rear. His staff released a huge beam of energy that shot towards Sakka. Sakka felt this powerful energy. His face changed, and he quickly raised his long knife to resist. The beam of energy hit the long knife, making a loud noise, and Sakka was knocked back a few steps by the force.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kyle rushed towards Sakka. He leaped high into the air, and the stardust long sword in his hand, with great force, slashed towards the top of Sakka's head. Sakka quickly blocked it with his long knife, and the powerful impact made him kneel on one knee.

"Sakka, your end has come!" Kyle shouted loudly.

Just then, Sakka suddenly let out a roar, and the black light on his body became even denser. He swung his long knife forcefully, repelling Kyle. Then, he took out a black crystal from his bosom. A strange energy fluctuation emanated from the crystal.

"This is..." Cavin's face changed greatly when he saw the black crystal. "This is the contaminated stardust power!"

Sakka laughed maniacally. "That's right. This is the contaminated stardust power that I accidentally obtained. With it, I will become incredibly powerful, and the entire universe will be under my control!"

As he spoke, Sakka integrated the black crystal into his body, and his body began to change. His figure became taller, his muscles swelled, and a layer of black scales appeared on his skin. His eyes also turned blood-red, emitting a terrifying light.

"Now, let you see my power!" Sakka roared and charged towards the main characters.

Facing the even more powerful Sakka, Kyle and the others didn't back down. They exchanged a look, and a firm belief showed in their eyes. Kyle gathered the stardust power again. He completely integrated the stardust power with his body, and a dazzling light surrounded his body. Alicia adjusted her energy gun, ready to face the new challenge. Morgan concentrated his mind, controlled the illusions, and prepared to deliver a fatal blow to Sakka. Cavin exerted all his strength to cast magic, providing support for everyone.

Sakka charged towards Kyle. His fist carried great power and smashed towards Kyle. Kyle raised the stardust long sword to block, and the huge impact made his arm tremble slightly. Alicia took the opportunity to shoot at Sakka. The energy beam hit Sakka's body, but it was deflected by the black scales on his body.

Morgan controlled the illusions to launch a surprise attack on Sakka from behind. The blades in the hands of the illusions stabbed towards Sakka. Sakka sensed the attack from behind. He suddenly turned around and punched all the illusions away. Cavin released a powerful energy wave, trying to weaken Sakka's strength, but Sakka just frowned slightly and wasn't greatly affected.

The battle reached a stalemate, and both sides were locked in a bitter fight. Just then, Kyle suddenly felt a wonderful resonance between the stardust power in his body and the surrounding environment. He looked up at the sky and found that some strange lights appeared in the sky. These lights echoed with the stardust power in his body, making him feel a powerful force.

"Everyone, pay attention. This is the resonance of the stardust power!" Kyle shouted loudly. "Let's guide this power together. Maybe we can defeat Sakka!"

Upon hearing this, everyone concentrated their minds and guided the stardust power around them. Alicia adjusted the frequency of the energy gun to match the fluctuations of the stardust power. Morgan controlled the illusions and gathered the stardust power together. Cavin used magic to guide the flow of the stardust power.

With the efforts of everyone, the stardust power around them gradually converged into a powerful energy torrent that rushed towards Sakka. Sakka felt this powerful force. His face changed greatly, and he tried to resist, but it was too late. The energy torrent hit Sakka, making a deafening noise, and Sakka's body was engulfed in light.

When the light dissipated, Sakka fell to the ground, unconscious. The black scales on his body gradually fell off, and the contaminated stardust power also slowly dissipated. Kyle and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They had successfully defeated Sakka.

Everyone walked up to Sakka. Kyle picked up the black crystal that Sakka had dropped and observed it carefully. "Although this crystal is contaminated, it seems that there are still some secrets about the stardust power hidden in it." he said.

Cavin stepped forward and used magic to sense the energy in the crystal. "That's right. This crystal might help us better understand the contaminated stardust power and be of great help for our future exploration."

Alicia looked at Sakka, and mixed emotions welled up in her heart. "I didn't expect that Sakka would use the contaminated stardust power just for the sake of power."

Morgan checked Sakka's stronghold everywhere, hoping to find some useful clues. He found a tattered diary in a corner. The diary recorded Sakka's process of searching for the stardust power and some of his plans.

"Everyone, come and take a look. There are important clues here!" Morgan shouted.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the diary together. From the diary, they learned that Sakka had once obtained some information about the sealed locations of the stardust power fragments, and these locations were somewhat similar to the star map they had obtained in the ruins.

"It seems that we're on the right track." Kyle said. "This information of Sakka's might help us find the stardust power fragments more quickly."
