Malakai slowly got back to his feet, his eyes blazing with fury. "You fools," he spat, his voice venomous. "You think you can defeat me? I am the master of darkness, and I will crush you all!"

  Eryndor stood tall, his sword still humming with magical energy. "We'll never back down," he said, his voice firm. "You're a monster, Malakai, and it's time someone stopped you."

  Malakai sneered, raising his hands to cast a spell. But before he could unleash his magic, Aria stepped forward, her eyes flashing with magical energy.

  "I'll take care of his magic," she said, raising her hands to cast a counter spell.

  The two magical forces collided in mid-air, creating a spectacular display of light and sound. Eryndor took advantage of the distraction to launch a surprise attack on Malakai's minions.

  Lyra fought alongside him, her sword slicing through the shadows with deadly precision. Kael watched their backs, his eyes narrowed as he scanned the room for any signs of additional threats.

  As the battle raged on, Eryndor began to feel a strange sensation building up inside him. It was as if his magic was growing stronger, more powerful than he ever could have imagined.

  But Malakai was far from defeated. With a snarl, he summoned a massive wave of dark energy to crush Eryndor and his friends.

  As the dark energy wave hurtled towards them, Eryndor knew they had to act fast. He raised his hands, and a blast of magical energy shot out, countering Malakai's attack.

  The two magical forces collided, creating a massive explosion that shook the very foundations of the throne room. Eryndor stumbled back, his ears ringing from the blast.

  When he opened his eyes, he saw that the room was filled with a thick, dark fog. He couldn't see anything, but he could hear the sound of Malakai's minions moving through the fog, searching for them.

  "We need to get out of here, now!" Lyra shouted, grabbing Eryndor's arm and pulling him towards the door.

  But Eryndor hesitated. He knew that Malakai was still out there, waiting for them. And he was determined to put an end to the sorcerer's evil plans once and for all.

  "I'm not leaving until Malakai is defeated," Eryndor said, his voice firm.

  Aria and Kael nodded in agreement. "We're with you, Eryndor," Aria said.

  Together, the four of them charged forward, ready to face whatever dangers lay ahead
