897 The Brilliance of Victory Amidst the encroaching darkness, Lorelai stood firm, her form illuminated by a radiant aura of pure light.
As Nyxos's shadow magic surged forward, she raised her hands, channeling the power of light with an intensity that seemed to rival the sun itself.
Beams of brilliance erupted from her fingertips, weaving and dancing through the air in strange patterns and symbols.
The clash of magic was breathtaking to behold. Dark met light in a dazzling display of power and will.
Nyxos's shadows surged forward, attempting to swallow everything in their path, while Lorelai's light surged in response, pushing back against the encroaching darkness.
Then, in a moment of sheer brilliance, Lorelai's light magic intensified, erupting into a blinding flash that enveloped the entire room.
For a moment, everything was consumed by a blinding white light, so intense that it seemed to sear through the very fabric of reality itself.
When the light finally faded, a serene calm descended upon the scene. The shadows that had threatened to engulf everyone were gone, dispersed by Lorelai's overwhelming display of light magic.
Nyxos stood stunned, his dark powers quelled by the sheer force of her counterattack.
In that moment, it was clear that while Nyxos may have wielded formidable mastery over shadows, Lorelai's light magic was an unstoppable force.
"What are you going to do now?" Lorelai smiled charmingly. "If you don't come up with a way to defeat me . . ." Her expression then turned menacing. "You'll die."
Nyxos's calm facade shattered, giving way to a tempest of anger. "Insolent little cur. You're only a dastard half-angel who was banished and forgotten in the immortal realm! You're a foul being, a mistake and a sin in the Heaven Realm. Just because you've acquired another sin by harnessing the power of demons doesn't mean that you're above me! You're nothing but a vile, halfling that would never be welcomed in heaven–!"
Nyxos halted abruptly, feeling a sudden swift of a blade passing through him. Within a blink, blood burst forth from the large wound from his stomach to his chest.
"Gargh!" a mouthful of blood spattered from Nyxos's mouth as he glared at Lorelai. "Y-you. You little . . ."
"I hate it when someone insult me," Lorelai said, flexing her grip on Demon Bane before assuming a fighting position. "Less words and more action or you'll die, old man."
Ren found solace in the fact that despite this powerful amalgamation of celestial and infernal essence, Lorelai remained anchored by a profound sense of justice.
If she were to wield her immense power for nefarious purposes, the world would undoubtedly find itself plunged into chaos.
Good thing that her unwavering commitment to righteousness served as a beacon of hope, ensuring that her formidable abilities were harnessed for the greater good, rather than for selfish or destructive ends.
As the battle raged on, Ren was thinking on how everything led to this scene. He had never expected things to escalate to this point, never anticipated that Pamela was the key to everything.
As he watched Lorelai effortlessly overpower Nyxos, Ren couldn't deny the undeniable truth staring him in the face.
Somehow, against all odds, everything had fallen into place. The pieces of the puzzle had aligned perfectly, leading to this moment of triumph.
And while Ren wasn't sure if this was the direction the storyline was meant to go, he couldn't deny the overwhelming sense of relief that washed over him.
It could very well be the machinations of the system itself, orchestrating the encounter to unfold precisely as it did.
Only the developers truly understand the intricacies of the game.
In the end, it didn't matter if this was how things were supposed to end.
All that mattered was that they had emerged victorious, that they had overcome this uncertainty.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding this scene, Ren found comfort in the fact that everything ultimately fell into place, and they got Lorelai back.
Everything ended well.
The Heaven Realm will finally opened and Ren was excited for World Conqueror to finally reach the pinnacle of success.
If his guild could dominate the game, it would be akin to wielding dominion over the world itself, rendering them untouchable by even the top corporations and guilds like Black Lion, Sleeping Dragon, Fate Alliance, White Unicorn, etc.
