Chapter 397: The Unseen Chessboard: Fulfilling the Deal

Ruby's rapid slashes created a blur of motion as her sword cut through the altar, each strike sending shockwaves through the dark energy that surrounded it. The evil god's face contorted in frustration, realizing that its connection to the source of power was being severed.

Lyle, still recovering from the effects of the evil god's presence, continued to pour his golden light into the spear, reinforcing Ruby's efforts and stopping the evil god from interfering with her. The underground chamber trembled as the struggle between the purifying light and the malevolent dark energy reached its peak.

The smaller face of the evil god attempted to resist Ruby's onslaught, but the relentless assault proved too much. Cracks began to appear on the altar, and dark energy seeped out like a poisonous miasma. The face howled in agony as its connection to the source of power weakened and the light from Lyle's spear was starting to inflict damage to it.
