Before Raven could deliver the finishing blow, a sudden burst of fire erupted from behind him.
Nely, using the last of her strength, had thrown a desperate fireball. It struck Raven's back, causing him to stumble forward.
But it wasn't enough. Raven turned, his face twisted with a cruel smile, and with a swift motion, he knocked Nely out with a single powerful strike.
Raven looked down at Nely, who lay dazed and vulnerable among the ruins.
A cruel smile spread across his face as he approached her, his footsteps echoing ominously. He raised his metallic arm for a final strike.
But suddenly, two figures leapt out from the shadows. The twins, Ezra and Liam, landed between Raven and Nely, their faces set with determination.
Raven's smile faltered for a moment, but then he laughed. "Two more pests to swat away. Very well, let's end this quickly."
