As the battle raged on, the coalition found their rhythm, each person contributing their energy to the collective force. The light grew stronger, illuminating the area as the darkness shrank back.
But the malevolent voice roared louder, filled with desperation and rage. "You cannot defeat me! I will consume this world!"
Alex steeled himself, determination coursing through him. "We won't let you!" he shouted, channeling every ounce of energy he had left into the light.
With a final surge, they pushed the darkness back, and in that moment, something extraordinary happened. The stone began to resonate with their energy, vibrating in harmony with their combined force.
"Keep going!" Emily cried, her eyes blazing with intensity. "We're close!"
The shadows writhed, forming grotesque shapes as they fought against the light. Alex could see glimpses of twisted faces, remnants of the souls the darkness had claimed over the centuries.
"Rachel, we're doing this for you!" Alex shouted, tears brimming in his eyes. "We won't let your sacrifice be in vain!"
With that thought, he felt a new surge of power. They were fighting not just for themselves, but for everyone who had ever been touched by the darkness.
The light exploded outward, a brilliant wave that surged forward and enveloped the darkness. In a blinding flash, everything went silent. The world around them faded into a dazzling glow, and in that moment, Alex felt a profound sense of peace wash over him.
