I quickly took out the amulet, which shimmered in my hand as if responding to my call.
I said, "Wait a minute, I have a plan!"
The three of us formed a circle, and I raised the amulet high; its light grew even brighter.
A warm force emanated from the amulet, flowing toward the protective barrier.
The light of the barrier began to flicker, appearing somewhat unstable.
We could clearly see that the power of the amulet was battling against that mysterious object.
Xiao Jie shouted excitedly, "It really works!"
We continued to concentrate, pouring all our strength into the amulet.
The light of the barrier grew fainter until it finally shattered before our eyes.
When the barrier broke, a shockwave erupted, knocking us back several steps.
But when we regained our footing, we found that the path to the building was clear.
I shouted, "Let's go!"
I rushed towards the building with Old Li and Xiao Jie.
We dashed into the tower, climbing up the spiral staircase as if we were racing for our lives, finally reaching the top of the tower.
When we stood on that spacious platform, I saw Molly standing there, looking somewhat dazed and filled with confusion.
At first, she might not have realized how we managed to break through those obstacles and appear before her.
Once she calmed down a bit, her expression suddenly darkened, and she said to us in a serious tone, "So what if you made it here? It's too late now; I've already taken control of the artifact's power. You can't stop me."
Hearing this, I tightly grasped the heirloom in my hand, which seemed particularly bright at that moment.
I firmly told Molly, "You won't succeed; this city cannot be destroyed by you."
After hearing this, Molly laughed heartily and said, "The power of the artifact is limitless, and I am its new master. You people can't even touch me!"
As soon as Molly finished speaking, the power of the artifact began to intensify; the entire city shook, and the clouds in the sky changed color.
At that moment, Old Li looked at me seriously and said, " 顧墨, you need to destroy the artifact quickly; otherwise, this city will be doomed."
My heart sank as I immediately understood what those words meant.
Little Jie continued, "We have long been prepared for sacrifice."
At this critical moment, none of us dared to hesitate; we all made up our minds to pay any price for this city and our future lives.
I raised high the treasure left by my ancestors; its brightness collided with the power of the artifact, and the energies of the two exploded in the air above the tower.
In this storm of energy, we engaged in a thrilling battle with Molly. Each fight was filled with danger, but none of us thought about retreating.
During the struggle for power, I seized an opportunity and shouted for Old Li and Little Jie to protect the city, then rushed toward the artifact without a second thought.
I felt a powerful force surrounding me as the energy from my ancestors' treasure and the artifact surged wildly within my body.
At that moment, I made my final decision—sacrifice myself to destroy the artifact.
I concentrated all my strength into one point and then unleashed it with a sudden force.
A blinding light tore through the sky, swallowing all the power of the artifact and taking Molly's ambitions with it.
As the light gradually faded, I felt my strength slowly draining away.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Old Li and Little Jie running toward me, their faces filled with worry but also a hint of relief.
Little Jie's voice trembled as he said, "You really did it."
I smiled; although I felt my strength slipping away rapidly, my mood was exceptionally calm.
I told everyone, "Now, this city is finally safe."
The end.
