Chapter 85 - The Twin's Invitation

The chaos of battle intensified as the armies clashed with unyielding determination. Amidst the tumult, a horde of wild demons surged forth, their primal roars echoing through the battlefield like a thunderous wave.

As the demons descended upon the fray, soldiers fought valiantly, pushing back the savage onslaught with coordinated strikes and powerful magic. However, amidst the tumult, a strange sight unfolded—the twins, emissaries of the Demon Lord, remained impassive, their gazes fixed on the unfolding chaos.

While the soldiers battled fiercely against the demon horde, the twins stood apart, their expressions unreadable as they observed the carnage with detached interest. It was as though they were spectators to a grand spectacle rather than active participants in the conflict.

In the midst of this chaotic backdrop, the twins' voices rose above the clamor, their message directed at Alex. "Our Lord wishes to speak with the hero in private," they announced, their words carrying a strange calmness amidst the tumult of battle. "You may enter unharmed. We do not bite," they added with a hint of amusement, their eerie smiles contrasting sharply with the surrounding violence.

Alex, understanding the gravity of the situation, stepped forward with determination, his resolve unwavering despite the surrounding chaos. However, as he moved to enter the castle, the twins issued a stark warning, their voices cutting through the battlefield din.

"But remember, alone," one of the twins emphasized, her tone carrying a chilling edge. "No others are to accompany you," the other twin added, their voices blending in an unsettling harmony. The implicit threat hung heavy in the air, a silent reminder of the consequences of defiance.

Lyria, her concern palpable, reached out to Alex, a mixture of worry and determination in her eyes. "I'll come with you," she insisted, her voice filled with unwavering loyalty.

Alex turned to her, his expression a blend of gratitude and determination. "No, Lyria. This is something I must do alone," he stated firmly, his gaze conveying reassurance despite the gravity of the situation. "Wait for me here. I'll return," he promised, his tone unwavering.

With a final nod to his companions, Alex pressed forward, passing through the imposing gates of the Demon Lord's fortress. The heavy doors closed behind him, sealing him within the darkened halls as he ventured towards his fateful meeting with the Demon Lord.

The battlefield erupted into a symphony of violence and desperation as the clash between soldiers and demons intensified. Amidst the chaos, a group of vengeful soldiers, fueled by grief and fury for their fallen comrades, saw the twins' composed demeanor as an affront to their suffering.

With bloodshot eyes and trembling hands gripping their weapons, the soldiers charged towards the twins with primal screams of rage. Their movements were fueled by raw emotion, a torrent of pent-up anger seeking release in a storm of violence.

The twins, their expressions veiled behind serene masks, observed the approaching soldiers with a chilling calmness. As the first soldier swung his sword with reckless abandon, aiming for the twins' exposed flank, they moved with supernatural agility that bordered on the inhuman.

One of the twins gracefully sidestepped the frenzied attack, her movements akin to a deadly dance of evasion. In a swift retaliation, her blade became a crimson arc, painting the air with a spray of blood as it found its mark, severing the soldier's arm in a single, brutal stroke.

The scene unfolded in a blur of savagery and precision. Another soldier, emboldened by the chaos around him, lunged forward with a war cry, his eyes fixed on the twins' undefended side. But his aggression met a swift and unforgiving end as the other twin anticipated his every move.

With a predatory grace, she parried his strike effortlessly, her blade finding its mark with ruthless efficiency. The soldier's scream echoed across the battlefield as his lifeblood spilled onto the blood-soaked ground, a grim testament to the twins' lethal skill.

Amidst the clashes and screams of agony, the twins' laughter cut through the din, a chilling chorus that mocked the futility of mortal resistance. "Such feeble attempts," one of the twins taunted, her voice carrying a cruel edge that sent a shiver down the spines of those who dared to witness the carnage.

As the chaos unfolded on the battlefield, Renn, in his Fox form, leaped into action, his eyes ablaze with determination. With swift and fluid movements, he lunged towards the twins, aiming to halt their relentless onslaught.

But his intervention came too late. The twins' deadly dance of blades had already claimed another victim before Renn could reach them. With a chilling precision that bordered on supernatural, they dispatched the soldier with ruthless efficiency, their blades leaving a trail of crimson in their wake.

As Renn approached, the twins turned to face him, their expressions twisted into mocking smiles that sent a shiver down his spine. "Too slow, little fox," one of them taunted, her voice dripping with malice.

The other twin joined in the mockery, her laughter blending with the cacophony of battle around them. "Did you think you could stop us, mere mortal?" she sneered, her eyes flashing with malevolent glee.

Despite Renn's best efforts, the twins seemed unaffected by his presence, their deadly dance continuing unabated. With each strike, they demonstrated a lethal synergy that defied comprehension, their movements a macabre ballet of death and destruction.

As the battle raged on, Renn found himself locked in a deadly struggle against the twins, their blades flashing with deadly intent. Despite his formidable prowess, he realized that facing them alone would be a futile endeavor.

With a grim resolve, Renn called out to his comrades, rallying them to his side. "We must stand together against these fiends!" he shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

But even as reinforcements arrived, the twins showed no signs of faltering. With a chilling calmness, they continued their onslaught, their laughter echoing amidst the chaos as they reveled in the carnage they wrought.

As the battle reached its crescendo, Renn knew that victory would come at a great cost. With each passing moment, the twins' deadly skill pushed their adversaries to the brink of despair, leaving no room for mercy or respite.

But amidst the bloodshed and turmoil, a glimmer of hope remained. With their comrades at their side, the soldiers fought on with unwavering determination, their resolve unbroken despite the overwhelming odds stacked against them.

In the heart of the inferno, amidst the clash of steel and the cries of the fallen, the fate of their world hung in the balance. And as the battle raged on, one thing became abundantly clear—the twins would stop at nothing to achieve their sinister goals, and only by standing together could they hope to emerge victorious against the forces of Darkness.
