A week later-
Finally, the enemy army arrived at the borders of Silonia. Theron and his soldiers stood ready, with their swords drawn and their hearts filled with courage.
The first wave of enemy soldiers charged forward, only to be met with a barrage of arrows and spells from Silonia's defenders.
The battle raged on for days, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Theron fought at the front lines, wielding his sword with a fierce determination. He knew that the odds were against him, but he also knew that he could not let his people down.
Despite their valiant efforts, however, Silonia's army was slowly being pushed back. The enemy soldiers were too many, and their weapons too powerful. Theron watched as his soldiers fell one by one, their bodies littering the battlefield.
As the enemy army closed in on Silonia's capital city, Theron knew that he had to make a last stand.
He rallied his remaining soldiers and led them into battle, determined to hold the line for as long as possible, while he ordered the civilians to evacuate the county.
The battle was brutal, with swords clashing and spells flying in all directions. Theron fought with all his might, his sword glowing with bright thunder magic.
He was a skilled swordsman, but he was also a great leader, inspiring his soldiers to fight with renewed vigor.
Despite their heroism, however, the Silonia army was eventually overwhelmed.
The enemy soldiers poured into the city, wreaking havoc and destruction. Theron fought on, but he was eventually surrounded by a group of enemy soldiers.
He could feel the power of thunder coursing through his veins. He raised his sword to the sky, and the clouds above began to rumble with thunder.
He fought with the fury of a cornered beast, his Thundersword a blur of motion, leaving a trail of disarmed and groaning opponents in its wake. Yet, the enemy pressed on, an unending wave of steel fueled by sheer numbers.
Theron charged forward, his sword glowing with an electric blue light. He leapt into the air and brought his sword down with a thunderous crash. The enemy soldiers around him were knocked off their feet, the force of the impact sending them sprawling on the ground.
Theron's thunder swordsmanship skills were put to the test as he fought off wave after wave of enemy soldiers. He used "Thunderous Bolt," where he charged his sword with lightning energy, and when he struck an enemy soldier, the energy exploded, sending shockwaves through the enemy lines.
Exhaustion gnawed at him, a relentless viper coiling around his limbs. Sweat blurred his vision, his muscles screamed in protest, but he refused to yield. Every inch of Silonian soil he defended was a life saved, a promise kept.
Behind him, the ragged line of Silonian defenders held firm, their defiance fueled by their leader's unwavering spirit.
The enemy soldiers were no match for Theron's thunder swordsmanship skills. He cut through their ranks like a hot knife through butter, his sword striking down enemies left and right. The enemy soldiers were in disarray, their formation broken, and their morale shattered.
Theron could see the fear in the enemy soldiers' eyes as he continued his assault. He used another skill called "Bolt Blade," where he summoned lightning bolts that traveled down his sword and struck his enemies with incredible force. Theron's attacks were devastating, and the enemy soldiers were left helpless.
Despite the enemy's superior numbers, Theron's skill and determination were proving to be too much for them. He continued his assault, his sword flashing in the sun, as he pushed the enemy soldiers back.
The battle raged on for hours, but Theron never lost his focus. He used every technique at his disposal, striking down enemies with incredible precision and power. His swordsmanship skills were unparalleled, and he was becoming a legend on the battlefield.
But after hours of fighting, he could feel his strength waning, and the enemy soldiers were closing in on him. He took a deep breath and readied himself for what could be his last fight.
Theron could feel the weight of defeat bearing down upon him as the enemy army relentlessly pressed forward. Despite his best efforts, their sheer numbers were overwhelming, and he could feel his own army faltering.
His sword arm ached with the effort of parrying blow after blow, and he knew that he was running out of time.
He prayed to Lord Indra for strength and victory.
Suddenly, a brutal blow from behind sent a jolt of searing pain through Theron's shoulder. He stumbled, his vision momentarily swimming. A guttural roar erupted beside him, and he spun around to see a hulking brute of an enemy soldier, his face obscured by a horned helm, raise a spiked mace for the killing blow.
But before the mace could descend, a jolt of primal energy surged through Theron. It crackled through his veins, electrifying his very being. An instinct he didn't understand, a power he barely knew how to control, surged to the forefront.
The next thing he knew, he had lost all sense of himself. All he could feel was the urge to destroy, to vanquish the enemy and leave nothing standing in his wake. His sword became a blur as he struck out at the enemy soldiers, each blow sending shockwaves of thunder through the air.
He lost the control over his body.
The world dissolved into a cacophony of clashing steel and primal screams. Theron, fueled by the raw power coursing through him, became a whirlwind of destruction. His Thundersword, once a familiar extension of his arm, now thrummed with an alien energy, a living thing desperate to be unleashed.
Gone was the measured precision of his honed swordsmanship. In its place, a strange ferocity took hold. He fought like a man possessed, a marionette yanked by the strings of an unseen power. Every swing of his blade unleashed a crackle of electric energy, a miniature storm erupting with each clang against enemy armor. Shockwaves radiated outwards, tossing soldiers back like ragdolls, their screams swallowed by the battle.
Gone was the strategic mind of the count, replaced by a singular, all-consuming urge – to obliterate.
