His journey to reach the destination was still quite long, so Auron decided to assist a wandering knight named Elric, whom he had encountered during his travels.
Elric sought help to drive out and destroy a group of demon worshippers who were causing trouble in the area. Auron agreed to aid him and immediately set off to their hideout.
"Alright, I'll explain the plan. First, we will sneak towards the main gate and take out the two guards there," Elric said.
Auron nodded, and they both executed the plan without delay.
Carefully, they maneuvered their way around the path, remaining unnoticed until they swiftly subdued the guards. Once inside, they encountered two paths. Seeing this, Auron suggested they split up.
As they separated, they explored various areas, hoping to gather information that might aid them in resolving the situation.
Auron ventured through dimly lit corridors, carefully avoiding detection, until he stumbled upon a group of demon worshippers performing a ritual. He quickly retreated to inform Elric of his findings.
Meanwhile, Elric had also discovered a room containing ancient texts and scrolls. As he carefully inspected the documents, he found clues that hinted at the cult's plans to unleash a powerful demon upon the world.
Reuniting, Auron and Elric exchanged their findings and devised a new strategy. They decided to disrupt the ritual by attacking the cultists during the height of their ceremony.
As they approached the main chamber, they noticed the cultists engrossed in their dark ritual, chanting incantations that reverberated throughout the room. The atmosphere was charged with malevolence.
Auron and Elric coordinated their attack, striking swiftly and silently, taking down the cultists one by one before they could react. The element of surprise was on their side, and the cultists' efforts to summon the demon were interrupted.
However, a formidable cult leader emerged, channeling dark energies with malevolent intent. Auron and Elric faced him with resolve, engaging in a fierce battle against the leader's dark powers.
The battle was intense, with the cult leader displaying incredible proficiency in dark magic. But Auron and Elric fought valiantly, using their skills and determination to push back against the malevolent force.
With combined efforts and an unyielding spirit, they finally managed to defeat the cult leader, dispersing the dark energies that had threatened to unleash the powerful demon.
The cult's hideout was left in ruins, its dark purpose thwarted. Auron and Elric stood victorious, knowing they had prevented a great calamity.
Grateful for each other's assistance, Auron and Elric parted ways, continuing their separate journeys. As Auron resumed his quest to find the Peak of the Lost Soul, he carried with him the memory of their shared triumph and the bond forged through their joint endeavor.
