Chapter 599: Clash of Shadows: The Battle for the Pillars

As the battles raged on, each defender faced their own unique challenge, pushing their skills and abilities to the limit. The dark-robed figures, with their malevolent powers and strategic cunning, proved to be formidable adversaries, especially near the pillars of dark energy that seemed to further improve their capabilities.

The outcome of these duels would determine the fate of the town and the success of their mission.

The clash between Nicholas and Malarai intensified, the air crackling with energy. Nicholas's sword glowed with a fierce light as he parried and countered Malarai's dark tendrils. Each strike was met with an equal force, neither side gaining a clear advantage.

Malarai's eyes gleamed with a mixture of hatred and amusement. "You fight well, but your efforts are futile," he taunted, his voice dripping with contempt.
