However, their attacks seemed futile against the creature, which soon ensnared them with its dark tentacles and brought them closer to its eyes, showing them their greatest fears.
Alex, trapped by the tentacles, was forced to relive the loss of his family, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness at being unable to protect those he loved most.
Lyria, enveloped in the creature's dark mist, faced her deepest fears, recalling moments of loneliness and abandonment that had haunted her since childhood.
Elren, struggling against the tentacles with all his might, was consumed by guilt and remorse, reliving past mistakes and the decisions that had brought him to the brink of despair.
Despite their bravery and determination, the three heroes found themselves paralyzed by terror, unable to break free from the creature's grasp and confront their own inner demons. The battle seemed lost as darkness enveloped them, threatening to consume them entirely.
Then, like a ray of hope in a flicker, a beam of light descended from the sky, piercing the creature's tentacles where they held them. Several beams of light appeared in different directions, aimed at the beast, which groaned in pain as it was cut into pieces, then being instantly pulverized as it seemed a weak creature before those flashes of light.
The flash of light descended to the ground with a deafening roar. As the light subsided, an extraordinary being materialized before them. It did not appear human, nor dwarf, nor semi-beast, nor elf; it was something else. With white hair, violet eyes radiating power, and attire never seen before, it emanated a divine and majestic presence that left the three heroes in awe.
In the presence of this unknown being, the heroes prepared for what would come next, with a mixture of hope and fear in their hearts.
