As they drew closer, the Dark Seer raised his hands, summoning a blinding light that momentarily disoriented them. In that instant, he unleashed a wave of dark energy that knocked them back, sending them sprawling to the ground.
"Do you see now?" he taunted, his voice echoing ominously. "You are destined to fail! The darkness will consume you all!"
But in that moment of despair, Lyra felt a spark of hope ignite within her. She glanced at Kaelith, whose eyes were filled with fierce determination.
"Together!" Lyra shouted, her voice cutting through the chaos. "We can do this!"
Kaelith nodded, her magic swirling around her like a tempest. "Let's show him the power of unity!"
With renewed vigor, they rose to their feet, channeling their combined strength into a single, focused attack.
