The reinforcements wasted no time, immediately engaging the remaining monsters with fierce determination. The battle was now a chaotic melee, with Nicholas, Lyle, and Ruby joining forces with their allies to confront both the monsters and the dark mages.

The situation was becoming increasingly dire; the ritual was nearing completion, and the consequences of its activation were unfathomable.
And then, the chanting stopped.
Wanadis and Casemar simply stared at Lyle and the others before flashing a smile at them and suddenly disappearing from the spot, dark energy being all that was left at the place they previously stood on.
