Nyssa, not losing momentum, again attempted to target Gareth.
On the other side, Otso, their opponent and also a dark sorcerer, stood firm with an evil smile on his face. "Nyssa, you take care of that kid, and wait for me to finish off the Greatsword holder," commanded Otso while gathering dark energy that flowed from his hands towards Liam.
The dark energy filled the air with tension, creating a deep sense of panic. Liam tried to protect Gareth, but Otso quickly blocked his path.
"Don't forget about me, child of the gods. Let's dance a little," Otso said mockingly as he cast a spell that conjured a scythe-shaped weapon from the dark energy.
The weapon gleamed ominously, glowing in the darkness, and appeared ready to kill.
"I am a dark sorcerer capable of fighting up close!" Otso shouted, striking his weapon against the ground and challenging Liam.
