Capítulo 28: Chapter 28: The Sorcerer's Wrath
The air thickened with palpable tension as Alucard faced the sorcerer, the shadows swirling ominously around him. The dark figure exuded power, a force of malevolence that threatened to suffocate their hope. Alucard gripped his sword tightly, feeling its warmth resonate through his veins—a reminder of his purpose and the bonds he had forged with his companions.
"Do you think you can defeat me?" The sorcerer's laughter echoed through the cursed woods, a chilling sound that sent shivers down Alucard's spine. "You are but insects crawling in my domain!"
"Enough of your arrogance!" Alucard shouted, his voice ringing with defiance. "We'll put an end to your tyranny!"
The sorcerer's expression twisted into a sneer as he unleashed a wave of darkness, tendrils spiraling toward them like serpents. Alucard sprang into action, his instincts honed through countless battles. He swung his sword, cleaving through the shadows with a fierce determination.
"Cover me!" he called to Seraphina and Garret as he charged forward. Seraphina responded instantly, unleashing a flurry of arrows that pierced the tendrils, igniting bursts of light that momentarily illuminated the darkness.
Garret joined Alucard's side, his axes gleaming as he hacked at the shadows that encroached upon them. "We need to reach that altar!" he yelled, gritting his teeth as he fought back the encroaching darkness.
Together, they pushed through the shadowy onslaught, the altar growing closer. But the sorcerer was relentless, summoning more wraiths to his side, their haunting forms flickering in and out of existence.
"Why do you resist?" the sorcerer taunted, his voice dripping with malice. "You will all perish in this cursed wood!"
With each step, Alucard felt the weight of the sorcerer's words. Doubt crept into his mind, but he pushed it aside, focusing instead on the bond he shared with his friends. They had faced countless challenges together; this would be no different.
"Keep fighting!" Alucard urged, rallying his companions. "We're stronger together!"
Just as they reached the altar, the sorcerer unleashed a final, desperate assault. Shadows coiled around Alucard, attempting to pull him back into the depths of despair. But with a surge of determination, he called upon the light within him, channeling it through his sword.
"By the power of the light, I will vanquish the darkness!" he declared, driving his sword into the ground. A shockwave of radiant energy burst forth, dispersing the shadows that surrounded them.
The sorcerer staggered back, shock etched on his face. "No! This cannot be!"
"Now, Jasper!" Alucard shouted, signaling his friend. Jasper stepped forward, his eyes blazing with focus as he began to chant an ancient incantation. The runes on the altar flared with light, responding to the magic he invoked.
With the sorcerer momentarily distracted, Seraphina took aim, her bowstring taut as she prepared to unleash a final arrow imbued with light. "Let's finish this!" she shouted, her voice filled with resolve.
As the incantation reached its peak, the altar erupted in blinding light, enveloping the area in a radiant glow. Alucard could feel the sorcerer's power waning, the darkness retreating before the brilliance of their combined strength.
In a last-ditch effort, the sorcerer reached out, attempting to grasp the shadows for one final strike. But Alucard would not allow it. He surged forward, wielding his sword with newfound determination.
"Your reign of terror ends here!" Alucard yelled, striking with all his might. The sword met the sorcerer's dark magic, the clash sending shockwaves through the cursed wood. Light and darkness collided, creating a maelstrom of energy that threatened to engulf everything.
As the dust settled, the sorcerer's anguished cries echoed through the forest, his form disintegrating into shadows that scattered into the night. The oppressive darkness lifted, replaced by a warmth that felt almost foreign.
Breathless, Alucard turned to his companions, who stood battered but resolute. "We did it," he said, disbelief mingling with joy. "We ended his hold over this forest."
"Not yet," Jasper replied, a hint of caution in his voice. "We still need to ensure the wards are dismantled completely."
Alucard nodded, his resolve hardening. "Let's finish what we started."
As they gathered around the altar, the last remnants of the sorcerer's magic dissipated, leaving behind a sense of peace that had long been absent from the cursed wood.
But the journey was far from over. Alucard could feel that darker forces were still at play, lurking beyond the edges of their victory. The road ahead would be fraught with challenges, but together, they would face whatever lay ahead.
