The chamber thrummed with dark energy as Kael, the Harbinger of the Abyss, stood before Marcus, Elara, and Selene. His presence was suffocating, a living embodiment of the Abyss's malevolent will. The air around him shimmered with an unnatural heat, and the shadows seemed to breathe with him, coiling and uncoiling like serpents.
Around them, Abyssal Guardians materialized—figures draped in jagged armor, their eyes glowing with a malevolent light. Their forms flickered between reality and void, each step they took echoing with a metallic clang that reverberated throughout the chamber.
"Marcus," Elara whispered, her grip tightening on her sword. "We need a plan."
Marcus's mind raced. They were outnumbered, and Kael's power was overwhelming. But there was no time for hesitation.
