John and the travelers spent the next several days preparing for the final battle. They gathered supplies, they honed their skills, and they strategized about how to defeat the shadowy figures.
Finally, they were ready.
They made their way back to the temple, their hearts pounding with anticipation. They knew that this was the final showdown, and they were determined to win.
As they entered the temple, they were met with the shadowy figures, who had been waiting for them.
"You cannot win," one of the figures hissed. "You are no match for us."
But John was not intimidated. "We may be outnumbered, but we will not be defeated," he said, his voice filled with confidence.
The battle began, and it was unlike anything John had ever experienced. The shadowy figures were powerful, and they were relentless in their attacks.
But John and the travelers were also powerful, and they fought with a ferocity that surprised even themselves.
The battle raged on for hours, and it seemed like neither side was gaining the upper hand.
