Jihoon regrouped with Arin and Daehyun as the battle raged. "We need to break their morale," Jihoon said, formulating a plan.
The trio combined their powers, creating an illusion of reinforcements descending from the mountains. The coalition hesitated, their formations faltering as fear spread.
Sora took advantage of the confusion, rallying the disciples for a counterattack. She led a charge that pushed the enemy back, her water magic neutralizing their fire techniques.
Meanwhile, Jihoon confronted Kang again, this time with renewed confidence. "Your power may be great, but you underestimate the strength of unity."
Jihoon's magic amplified the Nexus's energy, creating a massive shockwave that forced Kang to retreat. The coalition's forces began to scatter, their resolve shattered.
The sanctuary erupted in cheers as the enemy retreated, but Jihoon knew this was only the beginning.
