Rejected by the shadow god

Chapter 59: "Clash of Powers"

The air was electric with tension as the two groups faced off on the beach. Roham, fueled by his dark aura, sneered at Eden. "You think you can defeat me? I am the strongest!"

Eden, his eyes blazing with determination, drew upon his own aura. "I'll show you what strength looks like!"

With a fierce cry, the two enemies clashed, their powers unleashing a maelstrom of energy. Roham summoned a wave of dark magic, but Eden countered with a blast of pure energy.

Meanwhile, Luke/Ryan and Flynn were locked in a fierce battle. Luke/Ryan's aura was a swirling vortex of blue and silver, while Flynn's was a fiery blaze of orange and red. The two powers clashed, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Nelly, the blood witch, cackled with glee as she faced off against Ayra. "You're no match for me, little one," she sneered, raising her sword.

Ayra, her eyes flashing with anger, summoned her own aura. "I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

Just as Nelly was about to strike, Lady Alice, Roham's mother, appeared out of nowhere. "No, Nelly! Don't hurt her!" she cried, running towards Nelly.

But it was too late. Nelly's sword was already in motion, and Lady Alice's intervention only served to twist the blade. The sword plunged into both Nelly's and Lady Alice's hearts, and the two women crumpled to the ground.

Laura, who had been fighting Olivia, froze in horror. "Forgive me, Ayra... I couldn't protect an innocent soul like you..."

Lady Alice, with her dying breath, looked up at Ayra and whispered, "Protect... my son... Roham... He's... not... beyond... redemption..."

As the words left her lips, both Nelly and Lady Alice went still, their bodies lifeless on the sand. The others stood in stunned silence, the only sound the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore.
