Mike sprinted toward Livy with all his strength, his eyes fixed on the platform where the girl was bound. Each step felt heavy, as if the darkness around him was trying to pull him in. But there was no turning back now. His Wakizashi sword, engulfed in blue flames, sliced through the shadows that tried to block his path, igniting them into ash that disappeared into the air.
"Livy, I'm going to save you!" he shouted with determination.
Behind him, Maria and Calista kept fighting off the shadow creatures that kept emerging from the darkness. Maria wielded green magic that shielded them, while Calista used her shadow abilities to swiftly dodge and counterattack their enemies.
"Mike, hurry! We can't hold them off much longer!" Calista yelled.
Seraphina, her hands trembling as she channeled an immense amount of energy, continued focusing her power to clear a path for Mike. "Don't worry about us! Focus on Livy!" she called out, her voice strained but firm.
