With a final, powerful swing, Elara struck the portal again. The dark energy shattered, and the portal began to collapse in on itself. The ground trembled as the dark magic dissipated, leaving behind only silence.
The dark figure screamed in rage and desperation. "This is not the end!" he shouted, his form flickering and fading. "The darkness will rise again!"
Elara's eyes blazed with determination. "Not while we stand," she said firmly.
As the last of the dark energy faded, the cultists who remained lost their resolve. The resistance forces pressed the advantage, driving the enemy back and securing the area. The battle was over, but Elara knew their fight was far from finished.
