Selene stumbled back, her shadowy aura flickering like a dying flame. The light from Anna and Lyra’s combined attack illuminated her face, revealing an expression of pure rage.
“You think this changes anything?” Selene hissed, her voice echoing unnaturally. “This is just the beginning!”
Anna stood firm, her breathing heavy but her resolve unwavering. “It’s the beginning of your end, Selene.”
Behind them, the battle intensified. Logan and Ryan worked tirelessly to hold the barriers, while Mia led a group of students in pushing back the shadow creatures. Finn darted through the chaos, using his agility and quick thinking to sabotage Obsidian Crescent’s offensive strategies.
Damien, Selene’s second-in-command, snarled as he approached Mia, his dark magic coiling around him like a serpent. “You’re out of your league,” he growled, launching an attack.
Mia dodged and retaliated with a bolt of lightning, her eyes blazing with determination. “You’ll find I’m full of surprises.”
