137 — The Battle (3)

Once the seal was broken, the battlefield growing more intense by the second, Cynthia turned her focus to the demons still standing. 

Her hands raised as she summoned her power, her mana flowing out in a brilliant surge of energy, just as Edric instructed her. 

Slowly, the demons, whose true forms were mere shadows twisted into monstrous figures, began to writhe and scream as the purifying light engulfed them. 

"Disappear!" Cynthia shouted, her voice sharp and commanding. 

The knights, encouraged by her presence, advanced with their swords, slicing the monsters as their shadows dissolved into dark mist. 

The humans, who had been mere vessels for the demons, crumpled to the ground, their bodies no longer controlled by the dark forces.

Arlot moved in front of Cynthia and Lucian, casting a shield around them to protect them from any immediate danger.
