After traversing the dense and dark forest, Avira and her companions finally arrived at Severin's secluded hideaway - a gloomy and ancient castle. The castle was hidden in a deathly silence, its crumbling walls and ancient towers bearing witness to the passage of time, exuding a chilling atmosphere.
The castle gates slowly creaked open, and a figure emerged from the darkness - none other than Severin himself. His eyes gleamed with indifference and mockery, his black robe gently swaying in the night breeze. Severin stood at the castle gate, looking down upon Avira and her companions with an air of superiority.
"Welcome to my domain," Severin's voice was deep and alluring, a strange smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "I thought you would choose to flee, but I didn't expect you to actually dare to come."
Avira advanced step by step, meeting Severin's gaze with unwavering determination. "We are here to end your curse on this world. Your hatred will only bring more suffering, and it must all come to an end."
Severin listened and couldn't help bursting into laughter, his laughter echoing in the empty castle. "My hatred? Ha, you really know too little," he said sarcastically, then began to recount his past.
"I, too, was once a scholar seeking knowledge, devoted to studying dark magic, all to protect the princess I deeply loved. However, when the truth came to light, I discovered that the princess had long betrayed me, treating my love as a game, and she shamelessly married my enemy." Severin's voice revealed sorrow, "At that moment, I decided to use my knowledge and power to make this world feel the same pain as me."
Severin's story immersed the small team in a heavy atmosphere, with everyone pondering their own positions and choices. Upon hearing Severin's words, Caspar and Iliad exchanged glances, their eyes revealing complex emotions.
Caspar's eyes betrayed an unmistakable pain and reluctance, as he listened to Severin's tragic story, he couldn't help but think of how desperate he would be if Avira left him. But even though his heart was filled with emotion, his voice remained firm and powerful, "Even if Avira chooses someone else, I will not hurt her, nor will I let innocent people in this world be affected." His gaze was resolute, as if in this moment, his love transcended self, displaying the true demeanor of a hero.
Iliad always maintains his calm and composure, but at this moment, his words reveal a profound emotion and philosophy, "To love someone is to wish for their happiness, not to impose one's own pain on them or others." Although his face shows little change in expression, his deep eyes shimmer with a firm light, revealing his deep affection for Avira.
Then, the two of them simultaneously said, "And all of this can be resolved by killing her husband."
They proposed the same solution, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
Avira, as an onlooker in this conversation, couldn't help but smile. Her voice was light and helpless, unable to resist commenting, "It seems that both of you have the potential to be villains, just a little less determined than Severin."
Loren and Aidan listened nearby, unable to help but chuckle. Even in the face of a powerful enemy, they couldn't lose their lighthearted attitude.
However, Severin's expression turned cold and stern. "Enough, your words cannot change anything. Now, let our battle begin!" With a cold laugh, dark magic began to gather around the castle, causing the entire space to tremble, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
Avira and her companions quickly prepared for battle, this would be a decisive battle of life and death. Caspar's claws shimmered with a cold light, Loren gripped his longsword, its tip pointing towards the enemies in the darkness. Aidan tightly held his axe, ready to charge at any moment, while Iliad murmured softly, causing the air around to ripple, displaying his powerful magic.
At this moment, they were all ready to face Severin's attack. Regardless of the outcome, they would give it their all, to protect this world, and the unbreakable bond between them.
As Severin's voice fell, the entire castle seemed to be shrouded in a dark undercurrent, with a tense atmosphere about to erupt in the air. Avira stood in front of her companion, her eyes shining with an unyielding light. She knew deeply that the enemy in front of her possessed the power to destroy everything, but she also firmly believed that justice and wisdom would ultimately triumph over darkness.
With a wave of his hand, Severin gathered the dark magic into a huge force and directed it straight at Avira. Caspar, with his astonishing speed and agility, stepped forward and, with a swing of his claws, turned into a lightning bolt, colliding with the dark magic and emitting a dazzling light. His handsome face appeared unusually cold and ruthless in battle, every attack filled with a deep sense of protection for Avira.
"Severin, your dark magic is quite interesting," Avira quipped opportunistically, her voice laced with humor in an attempt to break the tension of the battlefield, "But it seems you've forgotten that in every story, light triumphs over darkness."
Iliad stood at Avira's side, quietly chanting intricate spells. His fingers delicately traced runes in the air, and the magical aura emanating from him clashed fiercely with Severin's dark power. His stern countenance and piercing gaze seemed to see through everything, calmly analyzing the situation on the battlefield and seeking opportunities for counterattacks.
Loren and Aidan each face the dark creatures summoned by Severin. As Loren's long sword dances, he moves with the grace of a dancer, each strike precise and cutting down one dark creature after another. His handsome face gains a touch of charm in battle, as if a beam of light shining in the darkness.
Aidan, on the other hand, shows no fear as he charges forward swinging his axe, each strike carrying the force of thunder. His hot blood and bravery are fully displayed in battle, showing no retreat even in the face of powerful dark forces.
At this moment, Avira used her wisdom to discover Severin's flaw. In this life-or-death moment, Avira's composure and quick thinking became the team's greatest reliance.
She carefully observed every magic attack from Severin, and finally found a tiny flaw in its complex magic structure. She immediately devised a plan, " Iliad, focus your magic on that point!" Her voice was clear and resolute, with an unmistakable trust in her eyes.
Iliad's eyes instantly focused upon hearing Avira's command, without any hesitation. His fingers moved lightly, as if drawing a magical scroll in the air. As he chanted his incantation, a beam of light shot from his hand, heading straight for Severin's defense flaw.
Caspar also immediately adjusted his tactics upon seeing this. His attacks became more fierce, each swing filled with strength and speed, as if he controlled the raging tide of the ocean. His eyes gleamed with a thirst for victory.
Loren at this moment has shown his keenness and agility, his figure appearing and disappearing on the battlefield. Every move he makes is precise and perfectly complements the team's offensive, adding an unpredictable variable to the battle.
Meanwhile, Aidan's bravery and decisiveness are fully displayed at this moment. He wields his weapon, charging forward with strength in every attack, each of his advances opening up new possibilities for the team.
Under the joint efforts of these four individuals, Severin's magical defense finally showed cracks, and beams of light shot out from the fissures, demonstrating the effectiveness of their attack. At this moment, hope shone on everyone's faces, their eyes filled with belief, as if they had already seen the dawn of victory.
Faced with this sudden attack, Severin had to take a few steps back, a rare look of surprise on his face. "It seems that I have underestimated you," he said coldly, his voice tinged with unwillingness.
"Severin, your time has come!" Avira declared loudly, her voice firm and powerful, as if she could already see the dawn of victory.
At this crucial moment, Iliad completed his ultimate magic, a dazzling beam of light descended from the sky and struck Severin. Caspar, Loren, and Aidan also joined forces, their final attack rushing toward Severin like a surging torrent.
