Chapter 9: the final confrontation
Guimo's all-range attack continued to rage on, destroying everything in its path. Kael, Lyra, and Kael's father were all caught off guard, and they stumbled backward as the wave of energy washed over them.
Kael's eyes widened in horror as he watched Guimo's attack, his friend's body glowing with an otherworldly energy.
"Guimo, stop!" Kael shouted, his voice barely audible over the sound of the attack.
But Guimo didn't respond. He was too far gone, consumed by the Dark Lord's power.
As the attack continued to rage on, Kael, Lyra, and Kael's father were slowly but surely worn down. They stumbled backward, their movements slowing as the energy drained from their bodies.
Finally, with a final burst of energy, Guimo's attack came to an end. Kael, Lyra, and Kael's father lay motionless on the ground, their bodies battered and bruised.
Guimo stood over them, his chest heaving with exertion. His eyes glowed with an otherworldly energy, and his body seemed to radiate an aura of dark power.
Lucius Zorvath stepped forward, a smile spreading across his face.
"Well done, Guimo," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "You have proven yourself to be a worthy servant."
Guimo's eyes seemed to gleam with pride as he bowed his head in acknowledgment.
"You have shown great potential, Guimo," Lucius Zorvath continued. "I think it is time for you to take your rightful place as my most trusted servant."
Guimo's eyes seemed to light up with excitement at the prospect.
And with that, Guimo turned to leave, his companions following close behind. As they walked, Guimo sent a warning to the one above the Blood Spiders organization.
"You have been warned," Guimo said, his voice cold and menacing. "Do not underestimate the power of the Dark Lord."
The message was sent through a dark and ancient magic, one that would strike fear into the hearts of those who received it.
As Guimo and his companions disappeared into the shadows, Kael, Lyra, and Kael's father lay motionless on the ground, their bodies broken and battered.
The darkness closed in around them, and everything went black.
The chapter ends here, with Guimo emerging victorious and sending a warning to the Blood Spiders organization. The fate of Kael, Lyra, and Kael's father is left uncertain, leaving the reader wondering what will happen next.
