LILIAN’S SACRIFICATION

The chamber erupted in a blaze of blinding light as the barrier shattered, revealing Iohan's monstrous form looming ominously. Darkness seeped from him, threatening to engulf everything.

Iohan's dark energy detonated outward, forcing Nyx, Muniere, Apollo, and Luna to recoil in shock.

"Impossible!" Muniere cried out between panting breaths. "The dark forces are nearly complete!" He gritted his teeth.

Luna stepped forward resolutely. "There's no other way than to fight him," she declared, exchanging determined glances with Nyx, Apollo, and Muniere. In unison, they nodded and transformed into shadowy forms.

"Nyx, target his feet! Apollo, go for his back! Muniere and I will seek out his weak spot!" Luna commanded.

"Understood!" they responded.

Iohan's laughter echoed through the chamber as Nyx and Apollo moved into position. The dark energy surrounding him pulsated, growing stronger with each passing second.
