Chapter 30: Carnage and Chaos
The battle raged on, the two armies locked in a struggle that seemed to shake the very foundations of the earth. Kane's army fought valiantly, but Malakai's dark magic seemed to give his troops an unnatural strength.
Kane himself clashed with Malakai's top lieutenant, a towering giant of a man with skin like black iron. Their swords met in a shower of sparks, the force of their blows sending shockwaves through the ground.
Adara and Ahmed fought side by side, their movements a blur as they cut down enemy after enemy. But despite their skill, they couldn't hold back the tide of Malakai's army.
The kingdom's soldiers began to fall, their bodies broken and battered. Kane's heart ached as he saw his friends and comrades go down.
Malakai cackled with glee, his eyes blazing with malevolent energy. "You fools!" he shouted. "You think you can defeat me? I am the master of darkness!"
Kane gritted his teeth, his determination burning brighter than ever. He launched himself at Malakai, their swords meeting in a final, decisive duel.
The outcome of the battle hung in the balance, as the two enemies exchanged blow after blow, their strength and skill evenly matched.
Who would emerge victorious? Only time would tell...
