The artifact

KELLY THOMPSON'S POV

The atmosphere grew heavy with tension as Baddy's taunts echoed through the battlefield, his malicious grin a stark reminder of the darkness we were fighting against. "You think you can defeat me?" he sneered, a hint of madness lacing his voice. "You have no idea what you're up against!"

"Focus!" I shouted, trying to rally my forces. "Do not let his words seep into your minds! We fight for each other, and we will not let fear hold us back!"
