"Stay back! That's not Ingrid anymore!"
Zagreus' voice cut through the chaos, but it was already too late. The moment his warriors hesitated, Ingrid moved. Faster than a shadow, she was on them, her blade slicing through flesh with unnatural precision. Eyes once sharp with defiance were now void, swallowed by an abyss of malevolence. Druig Malakar had her now, and there was no stopping him.
Blood painted the battlefield, seeping into the cold earth beneath the warring factions. The scent of iron filled the air, thick and suffocating. The loyalists, those who still stood beside Zagreus, fought with everything they had, blades flashing under the moon's eerie glow. The betrayers—those who had sided with Druig—moved like puppets, their strings pulled by a force far beyond mortal comprehension.
