As Elren made his way to the room where Alex was being held, chaos intensified in the city. Explosions reverberated in the air, and the sound of battle filled the streets. At that moment, Alex, feeling a surge of anger at the sight of Commander Ignis, his mentor's killer, pushed through the crowd and demanded a mano a mano confrontation to avenge his master's death.
Alex: Ignis! The time has come to settle the score for what you did to Eldor!
Ignis, wielding his flaming axe, faced Alex with a sinister smile.
Ignis: Are you here to avenge your master, boy? It will be a pleasure to destroy you, just as I did with him.
Meanwhile, Lyria, still recovering from her slumber, woke up in a nearby room. With supreme effort, she unlocked the door and stepped out into the hallway, determined to aid in the fight against Thalrion and the demons ravaging the city.
Lyria: I cannot allow Thalrion to succeed. I must join my brother and stop him, no matter the cost.
In the central square, Thalrion reveled amidst the chaos, opening portals with twisted dark power. Elren, transformed into his silver wolf form, confronted Thalrion.
Thalrion: Do you think you can stop me? You are nothing but insects before my power!
Elren: Do not underestimate the power of our unity, Thalrion. Together, we will stop you.
In the central square, where Thalrion and Elren faced off, the battle erupted with Thalrion's blazing fires directed at Elren. With skill, Elren dodged the attacks effortlessly. At this critical moment, Lyria joined him, offering her support to face the threat of Thalrion.
Thalrion: Do you think you can stop me, weak mortals? My power is infinite.
Elren: Do not underestimate the strength of our unity, Thalrion. Together, we will stop you.
Lyria: We are here to protect our city and our people. Your tyranny ends now, Thalrion.
Lyria, in a gesture of determination, summoned her bond, the majestic snow owl, which descended gracefully to join the battle, surrounding Lyria with its protective presence.
Meanwhile, Alex and Commander Ignis faced off in an epic duel, each blow and parry carrying the weight of years of resentment and pain. With each movement, Alex fought with the determination to avenge his mentor's death, while Ignis defended himself fiercely.
Alex: For Eldor! Your betrayal will not go unpunished!
Ignis: Your master was weak and deserved his fate! I will crush you as I did him!
In a swift and lethal move, Alex ripped Eldor's sword from Ignis's pendant and impaled him through the mouth with it, unleashing a tempest within his being. With a harrowing scream, Ignis exploded in a burst of energy, his body consumed by Eldor's windsword.
Meanwhile, Thalrion, witnessing his ally's defeat, decided to retreat, creating a portal to escape the ruined city.
With the dawn, the city lay in ruins, but the threat had been thwarted. The heroes, united in their victory, contemplated the uncertain future that awaited them.
