The enemy struck at dawn, their war horns shattering the morning stillness. Atreya stood with Celeste at the front lines, the Asura blade glowing faintly in his hand.
The battlefield was a chaotic blur of clashing steel and shouting voices. Atreya moved with a precision that surprised even himself, the blade guiding his strikes as if it had a will of its own.
Celeste fought beside him, her movements fluid and deadly. Together, they cut through the enemy ranks, their teamwork seamless.
But the battle was far from over. As the enemy regrouped, a massive figure emerged from their ranks—a towering warrior clad in black armor, his presence radiating menace.
"That's their commander," Celeste said, her voice grim. "If we take him down, the rest will fall."
Atreya nodded, his grip tightening on the blade. "Then let's finish this."

The duel was fierce, the commander's strength and skill pushing Atreya to his limits. Each clash of their weapons sent shockwaves through the air, the ground trembling beneath their feet.
As the fight dragged on, Atreya began to falter, his exhaustion catching up with him. The commander capitalized on his weakness, delivering a blow that sent him sprawling to the ground.
"Is this the best you can do?" the commander sneered, raising his weapon for the final strike.
But before the blow could land, the Asura blade flared to life, its light blinding. Atreya felt a surge of power course through him, his movements becoming faster and more precise.
With a final, desperate strike, he drove the blade through the commander's chest, the enemy's roar of pain echoing across the battlefield.
The remaining soldiers, seeing their leader fall, broke ranks and fled. A cheer rose from Atreya's army, their victory hard-earned but sweet.
