Chapter 45 - 20

The battle came to a sudden, chilling halt as Breno, in a selfless act of sacrifice, took the brunt of the arrow meant for Ryota. The air crackled with an eerie stillness as the weight of Breno's heroic act settled upon the warriors.

Ryota, his eyes wide with shock and horror, watched helplessly as Breno crumpled to the ground, his life's blood staining the earth. The gravity of the sacrifice hung heavy in the air, a poignant reminder of the cost of their fight against the encroaching darkness.

Pezzlz, his heart heavy with sorrow, rallied his elemental powers, his eyes blazing with fierce determination. With a mournful cry, he unleashed a surge of radiant energy, encasing Breno in a protective cocoon of healing light. The air shimmered with ethereal energy as Pezzlz poured his essence into the restorative magic, determined to save his fallen comrade.

Meanwhile, Alina and Alex, their eyes brimming with unshed tears, stood resolute in the face of their friend's sacrifice. With a shared look of determination, they focused their magical energies, weaving a potent ward of protection around their fallen comrade and the rest of the group, safeguarding them from further harm.

As the shadow creature loomed ominously, Hef's cruel laughter echoed through the battlefield. But amid the grief and chaos, a fire ignited within the hearts of the warriors, fueled by the memory of Breno's selfless sacrifice. With newfound resolve, they stood united, ready to honor Breno's bravery and continue the fight against the encroaching darkness.
