Chapter 11 - The battle between light and darkness

*Whistle sound*

Vexor: You really think that whistle can save you now?

Lilith: Poor little soul, he really thought he'd had a chance *macabre laugh*

Vexor: You should be thankful, you get to see such an admirable view from all the way up here.

The village was on fire, chaos had unleashed upon the lands, an army of 5000 orcs were approaching and leading them, it was a calamity beast. Flying high into the sky. Its body covered in scales of what looked like titanium and a black dense fume was covering it's entire body

And it all started just a few minutes ago.

Lilith: Behold for our great master has awoken! Ruinwing!

I could only stand and watch how it was getting closer and closer to our village.

"Why would you so this" I asked "What can you win from this?!"

Vexor: What else but it's almighty praises! And when the lord himself is reborn into this world it would be the time to take over what was once promised to him!

Lilith: Now… it's time to start phase two of the plan.

A light lance flies towards Lilith from a distant shout "HOLY SPEAR" but she managed to dodge it enough to only make the impact make a small scratch on her face

Lilith: You scum. What's a knight going to do alone against an army of 5000 orcs!

He didn't reply back.

Ava: You get the girl, I'm going for the blue haired rat

Aegis: Careful, he is a dark magic user and has a spell that can lock your body in place.

Ava: Don't worry, I've trained for this. Just keep your guard up and watch my back.

Aegis nodded, readying his shield as he and Ava split up to face their respective opponents. As Ava approached Vexor, his eyes narrowed with determination.

Ava: You won't get away with this! Prepare to face the wrath of the White Light!

Ava raised her white light magic lance, its ethereal glow intensifying as she channeled her energy into it. The lance emitted a radiant beam of white light, ready to pierce through the darkness surrounding them.

Vexor: Impressive, but you're still no match for the might of darkness, Umbral tentacles!

Vexor raised his staff, summoning shadows that swirled around him. Dark tendrils extended towards Ava, attempting to ensnare her, but she swiftly dodged and countered with a swift strike of her lance.

Meanwhile, Aegis launched foroward with his shield.

Lilith:I see that you're seeing through my illusions, but let's see how you handle this! Dark Embrace!

Lilith chanted an incantation, and dark energy surged from her hands, forming an ominous vortex. Aegis felt an invisible force pulling him towards the vortex, but he planted his shield firmly into the ground, resisting the pull.

Aegis: Your tricks won't work on me, witch! Shield of Resilience!

Aegis infused his shield with a protective enchantment, creating a shimmering barrier around him. The dark energy struggled to penetrate the shield's defenses, causing Lilith to growl in frustration.

Lilith: You may have resisted my initial attack, but let's see how you fare against this!

She raised her hands, and the ground beneath Aegis shook violently. Spikes of shadow erupted from the earth, aiming to impale him. Aegis swiftly leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly spikes, and retaliated with a powerful swing of his sword.

Back at the battle between Ava and Vexor, the clash of light and darkness intensified. Ava's lance of white light pierced through the swirling shadows, creating bursts of radiant energy upon impact. Vexor countered with his dark magic, sending bolts of shadow towards Ava, but she deflected them with precise movements of her lance.

Ava: Your reign of darkness ends here!

Vexor: Foolish girl! You cannot comprehend the power that Ruinwing possesses. Its awakening will herald the true ascension of darkness!

Ava could sense that the battle was reaching its climax. She knew she had to muster every ounce of strength within her to deliver a final, decisive blow. The weight of the village, her bond with Aegis, and the fate of their world rested on her shoulders.

Drawing upon the deep well of her inner power, Ava unleashed a radiant burst of light that engulfed her entire being. The brilliance emanating from her was blinding, pushing back the encroaching darkness and disorienting Vexor.

Ava: "Solar beam!"

Drawing upon the deep well of her inner power, Ava unleashed a radiant burst of light that engulfed her entire being, then, she channeled it all into her lance. The brilliance emanating was blinding, pushing back the encroaching darkness and disorienting Vexor.

With unparalleled speed and precision, Ava closed the distance between them in an instant. Her lance glowed with an intensity that rivaled the sun itself as she thrust it forward with all her might.

The lance pierced through the defenses of Vexor, rupturing the darkness that surrounded him. A surge of pure, divine light coursed through his body, overwhelming him from within. Vexor let out an anguished cry as the power of the light consumed him, purging his darkness and leaving nothing but a smoldering void in its wake.

Vexor: How could a little no one like you, be a rival for the power my great lord has offered me with…

Lilith: No! Vexor! This battle is lost! We must withdraw!

With a swift gesture, Lilith conjured a swirling portal of darkness, ready to whisk them away from the chaotic scene. However, Ava, sensing Lilith's intentions, swiftly moved to intercept her escape.

Ava: You won't escape justice! The darkness you've unleashed ends here and now!

Aegis, having successfully fended off Lilith's attacks, joined Ava's side, his shield raised and ready for any further confrontation.

Aegis: It's over now! Surrender and face the consequences of your actions.

Lilith's eyes darted between Ava and Aegis, a mixture of anger and desperation etched on her face. She knew she was outnumbered and outmatched.

Lilith: Mark my words humans, your victory will be short-lived.

Ava stepped forward launching an attack.

Ava: We've heard enough of your empty threats. Your reign of darkness ends today!

Lilith's lips curled into a wicked smile as she prepared to step into the portal.

Lilith: Enjoy your fleeting moment of triumph, heroes. The master's awakening cannot be stopped. We will meet again, and on that day, you will witness the true power of darkness!

Without wasting another moment, Lilith plunged into the swirling darkness, the portal closing behind her then another one appeared under Vexor and took him away.

Ava: Damn it!

Aegis: They might have escaped for now, but we've dealt a severe blow to their plans. We cannot afford to rest. This village and the lives of our people depend on us.

Ava nodded, her eyes focused on the smoldering ruins of their village.

Ava: We need to evacuate the villagers safely they probably don't know that a whole army is coming their way.

Aegis: Right. Either way this is the only hope we have for saving them anyways since fighting off all those orcs will be a problem.

Ava: Agreed, plus it's not even about the orcs as much as it is about that "Ruinwing" We don't know much about it but for what it looks like it seems it was a beast that followed the demon lord commands in the Holy Churches and Demons war.

Aegis: Exactly, for now let's just take care of the villagers.

Distant footsteps are heared

Kanako: You guys, how late exactly did I arrive?
