Chapter 10: The Final Stand

The Forbidden Sanctum loomed ahead, a dark fortress surrounded by ominous clouds. Inside, the Shadow King was regaining his strength, and time was running out. Lucas and his companions steeled themselves for the battle to come.

Entering the Sanctum, they faced waves of the Shadow King's minions. The air was thick with dark magic, and every step felt like a battle against an unseen force. They fought their way to the heart of the fortress, where the Shadow King awaited.

The final confrontation was a clash of light and darkness. Lucas wielded the Sword of Destiny with all his might, supported by Aveline, Kael, Lyria, Torin, and Arin. The Shadow King's power was immense, and the battle seemed hopeless at times. Yet, drawing strength from their unbreakable bond, they pressed on.

With a combined effort, they managed to weaken the Shadow King. Lucas, holding the Celestial Orb, performed the ancient ritual taught by Eldric. The Orb's light enveloped the Shadow King, sealing him away once more.
