Chapter 425 The Hunter in the Dark
Chapter 425 The Hunter in the Dark
Deep within the Tianguan Mountains, a fierce wind howled relentlessly, carrying heavy snowflakes, as if it wanted to devour everything.
Chi Ri and his group stood outside the hidden entrance to the Pillar of Spears, the wind and snow lashing against them with a "pat-pat" sound.
He turned to the side, gesturing for Hades to step forward, his voice deep and authoritative: "Let's begin."
Hades nodded slightly and took out a strangely shaped stone from his pocket—the Key of the Spear. The stone's surface was covered with intricate patterns and emitted a faint, eerie light.
He slowly raised the spear key and placed it in front of the hole in the spear pillar.
"Click..."
A soft sound, like the activation of a mechanism, was exceptionally clear in the silent wind and snow.
A tiny crack appeared on the stone wall, slowly opening to both sides, like a sleeping giant beast slowly opening its eyes, revealing a deep, dark tunnel entrance, as if leading to an unknown abyss.
"finally……"
Chi Ri took a deep breath, the icy air instantly filling his lungs and bringing a stinging sensation, but he didn't care at all. His eyes shone with a fanatical light, like two burning flames.
"After waiting for so long, it's finally going to happen."
He murmured to himself, his voice filled with anticipation and excitement, like a child about to receive a beloved toy.
He stepped into the tunnel, his steps firm and powerful, his eyes filled with fervor and anticipation.
"New world, here I come."
Chi Ri silently recited the words in his heart, his footsteps echoing in the empty tunnel, as if ringing the bell of a new era.
Inside the tunnel, it was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, as if you were being swallowed by endless darkness.
Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty tunnel, dull and oppressive, like some kind of ominous premonition.
Chi Ri walked at the front, his heart filled with excitement, as if a flame was burning within him.
"After all these years, we're finally going to succeed."
He pondered to himself, a slight upturn of his lips forming a crazed smile.
"As long as I summon Dialga and Palkia, I can create my own new world."
His breathing became rapid, and his heartbeat quickened.
Without strife, without pain, without sorrow, if this world could be like the new world, then perhaps they...
Chi Ri spoke in a voice only he could hear, as if he were slowly telling a story.
Only he himself knew the sorrow in his words.
......
Hades followed behind the Crimson Sun, a fanatical look appearing on his aged face.
But his fervor was only directed at his own research. He only cared about whether he could obtain more information about Dialga and Palkia in this operation, and he was indifferent to everything else.
......
A few minutes after Akari and the others entered the Pillar of Spears.
The biting wind, like a knife, scraped across his cheeks, carrying fine snowflakes that slapped hard against Xiaozhi's face, bringing a stinging sensation.
He subconsciously squinted, trying to ward off the sudden blizzard.
The wind and snow were so strong that they almost obscured the view, but Xiaozhi's gaze remained firm as he stared intently at the dark tunnel entrance ahead.
It was a bottomless cave, like an entrance to hell, dark and deep, as if it would devour everything.
Xiao Zhi frowned slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
He knew that Akari had already led Team Galactic into the Pillar of Spears, and he didn't have much time left.
But then, a glint flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of a solution.
"They've only been inside for a short time. To prevent Team Galactic from harming Azelom and the others, we need to rescue them first."
He muttered to himself in a low voice, as if he were talking to himself, or perhaps explaining something to his companions beside him.
"Fortunately, this dark and long passage gave us a chance."
Xiao Zhi's tone carried a hint of relief; he knew very well how advantageous this tunnel was for them.
"Pikachu?"
Pikachu peeked out from his shoulder, tilted its head, and looked at Ash with a puzzled expression.
Its golden fur was covered in snowflakes and looked a little damp.
Xiao Zhi didn't explain immediately, but slowly closed his eyes.
His wave power began to surge, like an invisible energy that slowly spread outwards from him.
The waveguide force penetrated the thick rock and entered the deep tunnel, like a pair of invisible eyes observing everything inside.
"Darkrai, can you hear me?"
Ash called Darkrai's name in his heart, his voice soft but carrying an undeniable firmness.
“Dar…”
Darkrai's voice echoed in Ash's mind, deep and hoarse, as if it came from a distant place.
"I will share my vision with you using the power of aura and command you in my mind. You go in first and deal with them one by one, starting with the last one. The device that imprisons Arknom and the others is carried by the members of Team Galactic. Be careful and do not make any noise while dealing with them."
His own aura combined with Darkrai's stealth ability is the best combination for carrying out this mission.
In addition, the passage is very narrow, and only one person can fit in the same spot at most. As long as Darkrai handles it properly, no one will be able to detect anything unusual.
“Dar”.
Darkrai responded, its figure vanishing into the darkness in an instant, like a ghost blending into the night, silently entering the tunnel to begin its hunt.
......
inside the tunnel.
Darkrai moved about like a ghost, silently and without attracting anyone's attention.
He silently approached the last member of Team Galactic, his azure eyes gleaming with a cold light in the darkness.
“Dar…”
Darkrai murmured softly, and the black hole quietly activated.
Before the member could even utter a cry of alarm, he fell into an endless sleep, his body collapsing limply to the ground.
Darkrai continued forward, like a silent hunter reaping lives in the darkness.
One, two, three...
Team Galactic members fell one after another without making a sound, like wheat being cut down.
Crimson Sun and Hades were completely unaware of this. One was immersed in his fantasy of the new world, and the other was engrossed in his research on the power of Aura and legendary Pokémon. They were completely oblivious to the strange occurrence behind them.
They had reached the end of the tunnel and were walking faster and faster.
Suddenly, everything became clear, and light dispelled the darkness.
A huge altar appeared before them, built of gray-white stone, filled with an ancient and mysterious aura, like a work of art from ancient times.
"This is it."
Chi Ri said excitedly, his voice trembling with barely suppressed excitement.
"Pillar of Spears!"
He is about to realize his dream here.
"Bring the Red Chain and the Pokémon from the lake—"
As Chi Ri said this, he turned his head, but in the next instant, his pupils contracted rapidly.
"What about people?"
He looked back, but there was no one behind him, as if he had been swallowed by darkness.
The elite members of Team Galactic who were originally following behind him had all disappeared, as if they had vanished into thin air.
"What's going on?!"
Chi Ri's expression changed, his voice filled with astonishment and anger.
Hades also noticed the anomaly. He frowned, looked around, and a heavy look flashed in his eyes. PS: Double update today too!
