Chapter 501: Mai Shinomiyai Annihilation Battle Five
Alright, I will proceed with OCR based on the content of the picture you provided (though blurry) and make educated guesses, extracting only the Chinese characters as requested, and maintaining the paragraph format.
After careful identification and inference, this is the Chinese character content I have deduced from the image, with the format adjusted according to the paragraph requirements for web novels:
Distant blue light
Flickered in the silent forest,
Illuminating a faint fluorescence in the darkness,
Like fireflies on a summer night.
This is deep within the forest’s
[Forest of Fireflies],
That faint yet resilient power,
Condensing the magic of nature.
In the center of the
[Forest of Fireflies], a tree grew,
So thick that several people had to embrace it.
On its ancient trunk,
Were etched countless traces of the years.
Its branches stretched out,
Covering an area of several hundred meters,
Forming a natural sanctuary.
This ancient tree is the
[Tree of Life] of this forest,
Possessing immense vitality
And the ability to gather natural energy,
Guarding all living beings
On this land.
However, today,
This tranquil forest was disturbed,
A dark figure was sneakily busy beneath the Tree of Life.
He wore a black, form-fitting suit,
And a black mask that only revealed his eyes,
In his hand, he held an
[Energy Collector]
Gleaming with a faint red light.
He quietly
Approached the Tree of Life,
And pressed the Energy Collector against the trunk.
The collector immediately emitted
A brighter red light,
And a faint green light also appeared on the trunk’s surface,
The two began to clash,
Entangling together.
The dark figure was
An [Shadow Thief],
His mission was to steal
The Tree of Life’s power.
He carefully watched the numbers on the Energy Collector,
Which were moving upwards, bit by bit,
At an extremely slow pace.
“This [Tree of Life]
is truly resilient.
No wonder the [Shadow Organization]
is putting so much effort into this.”
The [Shadow Thief] in the darkness
Muttered to himself, a trace
Of impatience in his voice.
He turned his head,
Looking in one direction,
Where there was no light,
Appearing no different from the surrounding darkness.
But he knew,
A companion was watching his back there.
Suddenly,
A crisp bird’s chirp
Reached his ears.
This sound, in the silent forest,
Seemed exceptionally abrupt.
The [Shadow Thief]’s eyes sharpened,
He immediately knew it was
A warning from his companion.
He hesitated no longer, and forcefully increased
The power of the Energy Collector.
The red light instantly became
Dazzling, and the green light on the trunk
Grew more intense.
At the same time, the numbers on the Energy Collector
Flashed upwards rapidly.
In just a few breaths,
They reached the required quantity.
He immediately retrieved the
Energy Collector,
And turned to flee.
But,
A figure was faster than him.
“Trying to run?”
A clear voice
Rang out in the darkness,
With a hint of amusement.
Simultaneously, a white light
Shot from the darkness,
Directing straight for the [Shadow Thief].
The [Shadow Thief]
Was startled,
His thief’s instinct made him
Roll to the ground, narrowly
Dodging the white light.
However, the white light did not dissipate.
Instead, it spread rapidly along the ground,
Forming a
[Sacred Array]
Shimmering with holy light,
Trapping him within.
“[Radiant Envoy]!”
The [Shadow Thief]
Said through gritted teeth,
He finally saw who had arrived.
The arrival was
A young girl wearing a
White robe,
She had platinum blonde hair,
Emanating a faint glow in the night,
Like a night sprite.
Her face was beautiful,
With an aura of holiness unbefitting her age,
Her deep eyes seemed to
Contain the entire starry sky.
In her hands
She held a white
[Magic Wand],
At the tip of which was inlaid a crystal
Shimmering with white light.
“Are you the
[Shadow Thief]
Who is stealing the Tree of Life’s energy?”
The Radiant Envoy asked with a smile,
Her voice was ethereal and pleasant,
Echoing in the silent forest,
Like a beautiful song.
The [Shadow Thief] did not reply.
He knew he was trapped and
Had to find a way to break
The Radiant Envoy’s
[Sacred Array].
He observed the array’s
Structure,
And found that although the array
Appeared simple, it was indestructible.
He knew that the [Radiant Envoy]
Was a [Battle Class] of the
[Temple of Light],
Possessing powerful
[Light Magic] abilities,
And her specialty was
[Sacred Arrays].
Once formed, these arrays were difficult to break.
He decided to no longer
Waste time,
And immediately pulled out a
Black pill from his怀,
Swallowing it without hesitation.
Upon swallowing, the [Shadow Thief]’s body
Suddenly swelled, muscles bulging,
His clothes ripped open,
Revealing
Dark skin.
His eyes also turned
Blood-red,
Exuding a violent aura.
This was the [Shadow Thief]’s
[Rage Potion],
Capable of temporarily boosting his combat power.
“Trying to use such
Improper methods
To counter my
[Sacred Array]?”
The Radiant Envoy
Shook her head gently,
Her face still held
That holy smile,
Unmoved.
She softly chanted
The incantations for [Light Magic],
The [Magic Wand] in her hand
Emitted a brighter white light,
And the [Sacred Array]’s light
Became even more dazzling.
“[Divine Judgment]!”
The Radiant Envoy
Cried out in a sweet voice.
From within the [Sacred Array],
Countless white light blades
Erupted, shooting towards the [Shadow Thief]
Like a tempest.
The [Shadow Thief]
Roared,
A black [Dagger] suddenly appeared in his hand,
He poured energy into the dagger,
And swung it to block the light blades.
The dagger emitted
Waves of black light,
Which violently collided with the white light blades,
Producing
Deafening
Explosions.
The [Sacred Array]
Was filled with light,
The trees outside the array
Were shaken by the residual shockwaves
Of the explosions,
Dropping countless leaves.
After the explosions,
The light within the [Sacred Array]
Gradually dissipated,
Revealing the scene inside.
The [Shadow Thief]
Lay on the ground, covered in blood,
Disheveled, his [Dagger]
Broken in two.
He struggled to lift his head,
And glared venomously at the Radiant Envoy.
The Radiant Envoy
Still stood gracefully,
Her white robe immaculate,
Her face still holding
That holy smile.
“You lose,”
The Radiant Envoy
Said softly,
Her voice devoid of any
Emotional fluctuation.
The [Shadow Thief]’s
Eyes dimmed,
He knew he had no more
Power to resist.
With his last bit of strength,
He threw the [Energy Collector]
Into the distant darkness.
“No… No, I can’t let
The Tree of Life’s energy
Fall into their hands.”
The Radiant Envoy’s
Expression changed,
She immediately gave chase.
However, the [Energy Collector]
Mid-flight,
Suddenly shattered,
Black smoke billowed out
From the collector,
Enveloping the energy core within,
And then drifted off into the distance.
“Damn it!
This is the [Shadow Organization]’s
[Shadow Clone Technique]!”
The Radiant Envoy
Said through gritted teeth.
She knew she had been tricked.
The [Shadow Thief]
Had used the [Energy Collector]
To distract her,
The real energy had already been taken away by his companion
Using [Shadow Clone Technique].
The Radiant Envoy
Suddenly turned,
Looking at the [Shadow Thief]
Trapped within the array.
However,
Within the [Sacred Array],
The [Shadow Thief]
Had long since turned into a pile
Of black smoke,
Dissipating into the air.
This, too, was a [Clone].
“[Shadow Organization],
You’re playing tricks again!”
The Radiant Envoy
Shouted angrily,
The power of [Light Magic]
Exploded from her,
Bending the surrounding trees to the ground.
“Calm down,
[Radiant Envoy].”
A deep voice
Came from the darkness,
Then,
A tall figure clad
In the golden armor of a [Paladin]
Slowly walked from a distance.
The entire person was enveloped in golden light,
Looking majestic.
“[Paladin Captain].”
The Radiant Envoy’s
Expression softened slightly.
This [Paladin Captain]
Was a [Strong practitioner]
Sent by the [Temple of Light]
To assist her in guarding the [Forest of Fireflies].
“No need
to chase.
The [Shadow Organization]’s
[Shadow Clone Technique]
is extremely fast;
You won’t catch them.”
The [Paladin Captain]
Said in a deep voice,
His voice carrying undeniable power.
“But, the Tree of Life’s energy
was stolen by them…”
The Radiant Envoy
Said unwillingly.
“While the Tree of Life’s energy
Was slightly stolen,
Its true form
Won’t be significantly affected.”
The [Paladin Captain]
Walked up to the Tree of Life,
He raised his head,
Looked at the gigantic trunk,
And sighed.
“But this is also our failure.”
The Radiant Envoy
Lowered her head,
Her face filled with guilt.
“No, it’s not
your fault.”
The [Paladin Captain]
Extended his hand,
Gently patted her shoulder,
“The [Shadow Organization]
is too cunning.
Their [Shadow Clone Technique]
can replicate energy cores,
Though only a small portion,
Repeated theft can accumulate a considerable amount.”
“So, what
should we do now?”
The Radiant Envoy asked.
“I will pursue them.
You will stay here
To guard the Tree of Life,
In case the [Shadow Organization]
attacks again.”
The [Paladin Captain]
Said.
Golden light flared around his body,
And he transformed into a streak
Of golden light,
Shooting into the darkness.
The Radiant Envoy
Watched the retreating back of the [Paladin Captain],
Her eyes filled with
Hatred for the [Shadow Organization].
“[Shadow Organization],
I will not let you succeed.”
She resolved,
Determined to protect
The Tree of Life
And the [Forest of Fireflies].
She returned to beneath the Tree of Life,
Holding her [Magic Wand]
And vigilantly observing her surroundings.
The night deepened,
The [Forest of Fireflies]
Returned to its tranquility,
Only the faint fluorescence
Continued to flicker in the darkness.
The Radiant Envoy knew,
This was merely the calm before the storm,
The [Shadow Organization]
Would not give up.
“I hope the [Paladin Captain]
Can successfully recover
The stolen energy,”
The Radiant Envoy
Prayed silently in her heart.
At this moment, in a dark corner far from the
[Forest of Fireflies],
Two shadowy figures were
Engaged in a secret conversation.
“Report, boss,
The mission is complete,
Although only a portion of the energy was obtained.”
A hoarse voice said.
“Hmm, well done.”
Another even deeper voice replied,
“The Tree of Life
Is more difficult to deal with than we imagined,
And the [Radiant Envoy]’s
Abilities have also improved.
But, this was to be expected.”
“Boss, what
should we do next?”
The hoarse voice asked.
“The Tree of Life’s energy
Has been obtained.
Next is the
[Modification Plan].
We will use this power
To create more powerful [Shadow Warriors].”
The deep voice
Carried a hint of fanaticism.
“[Modification Plan]…”
The hoarse voice was filled with awe.
“Go,
Prepare the
[Modification Potion],
New [Shadow Warriors]
Will soon be born.”
The deep voice
Commanded.
One shadowy figure bowed respectfully,
Then transformed into a mass
Of black smoke,
And quickly vanished into the darkness.
“[Temple of Light]…
Your good days are about to end.”
The deep voice
Carried a hint of coldness.
He raised his head,
Looked towards the direction of the [Forest of Fireflies],
A cold smile forming on his lips.
In his hand,
He held a black
[Energy Collector]
(The real energy core),
Within which a faint green light
Was gleaming.
“This power,
Will soon belong to us,
The [Shadow Organization]!”
He clenched the [Energy Collector]
In his hand forcefully.
The green light seemed to respond to his ambition,
Flickering even more brightly.
“[Radiant Envoy],
Was it…
We will meet again soon.”
After speaking,
He himself transformed into a mass
Of black smoke,
And vanished into the darkness.
The [Forest of Fireflies]
Returned to its tranquility once more,
As if everything that had just happened
Was merely an illusion.
The Radiant Envoy
Still steadfastly guarded beneath the Tree of Life,
Her eyes full of determination and vigilance.
She believed that light would ultimately triumph over darkness.
