"You have shown courage and determination, mortal," the angel said, his voice echoing with a quiet reverence. "But your struggle ends here. You cannot hope to defeat me."
Sophia met his gaze with a steely resolve, her jaw set in a defiant line. "I may not be able to defeat you," she said, her voice steady despite the fear that gnawed at her heart. "But I will never stop fighting. As long as there is breath in my body, I will resist you."
The angel's smile widened, a glimmer of admiration shining in his eyes. "Very well," he said, his tone tinged with a hint of respect. "Then let us continue this battle, mortal. Let us see if your courage can withstand the might of the heavens."
