Selene, meanwhile, focused on the carvings that lined the cavern walls. She could sense that they were more than just decorations; they were a key to understanding the guardian and the forces that bound it to this place. As the battle raged on, she began to chant in the ancient tongue, calling upon the magic that had been used to seal the darkness within the mountain.
The guardian howled in pain as Selene's magic took hold, its form beginning to waver as the ancient spells resonated within the cavern. Wei Lin seized the opportunity, delivering a final, decisive blow that shattered the creature's form, causing it to dissolve into a swirling vortex of water and shadow that was drawn back into the river's depths.
The cavern grew silent, the only sound the gentle lapping of the water against the stone. The carvings on the walls began to glow more brightly, as if acknowledging the defeat of the guardian and the restoration of balance.
