Chereads / ETERNIS : THE PRISM OF DESTINY / Chapter 7 - Tower Guard

Chapter 7 - Tower Guard

A voice echoed throughout the room, further amplifying the menacing aura of the massive creature before them. Its body was gleaming, made of black metal alloy with pulsing red energy patterns. Its weapons were not simply knives or swords, but plasma cannons attached to both hands.

Kael took his stance, taking a deep breath to calm his racing heart. Aveline stood behind him, the Prism in her hand glowing brighter, as if responding to the threat before them.

"We have to take it down quickly," Kael said. "I feel like every second we're here, this tower summons new enemies."

Aveline nodded, and the Prism in her hand began to spin, producing a blue aura that radiated throughout the room. "I'll support you from behind. Focus on attacking!"

The Battle Begins

The creature moved faster than they had expected, unleashing a plasma attack that exploded upon impact. Kael leaped to the side, avoiding the first blast, then charged toward the enemy. His sword gleamed with blue energy, each slash leaving a trail of light in the air.

However, the creature's metal skin was too tough. Kael's sword could only leave a shallow scratch.

"Aveline, we need another strategy!" he shouted as he retreated to avoid a counterattack.

Aveline closed her eyes, trying to understand the flow of energy from the Prisma. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide. "Kael, attack the symbol on its chest! That's its weak point!"

Kael immediately shifted his focus. With nimble steps, he jumped upwards, trying to slash the glowing symbol on the creature's chest. However, the enemy was too fast and managed to deflect his attack with a heavy metal arm.

Prisma's Surprise

As the fight intensified, the Prisma in Aveline's hand began to react strangely. It emitted a flash of light that projected a holographic map into the air. On the map, there was a red line that connected directly to the symbol on the enemy's chest.

"The Prisma is telling me something!" Aveline exclaimed. "I can open its weak point, but I need time!"

Kael nodded without hesitation. "Do whatever you can. I'll hold him back!"

Kael advanced again, this time fighting more defensively, drawing the creature's attention with quick but non-lethal strikes. Meanwhile, Aveline raised the Prisma high, concentrating all her energy into it.

"Almost done…" Aveline muttered, sweat pouring down her forehead.

Epic Moment

Just as the Prisma sent a flash of light toward the symbol on the creature's chest, the enemy froze for a few seconds. "Kael, now!" Aveline shouted.

With a spirited shout, Kael leaped into the air, pointing his sword directly at the now-glowing symbol. The Prisma's energy flowed into his sword, powering the attack.

"Feel this," Kael shouted.

The sword struck the symbol with incredible force, creating a massive explosion that shook the entire room. The creature crumpled to the ground, its metallic body slowly disintegrating into glowing dust.

After the Battle

Kael and Aveline were both panting, but they remained standing, their eyes meeting in silence.

"You were amazing," Aveline said with a weak smile.

Kael chuckled, wiping the sweat from his brow. "You were amazing. Without the Prism and your courage, I would have been defeated."

They stood in the center of the room, surrounded by the afterglow of the creature they had just defeated. The Prism in Aveline's hand now glowed softly, as if to thank them for their cooperation.

Before they could bask in their victory, however, a roar rang out from above.

"It seems we have a long way to go," Kael said, drawing his sword again.

"Yes," Aveline replied, her eyes full of determination. "But we can get through it…together."

With that, they stepped through the newly opened door, toward the next challenge in the Dark Tower.
