The relentless swings of the knight golem's sword filled the air. Sam danced between each strike, narrowly avoiding the deadly blows. Meanwhile, the four-arm golem closed in, its massive frame casting an ominous shadow. With each step, it seemed to shake the very ground beneath Sam's feet, reminiscent of the brute warlock he had faced before, though lacking its lightning-fast agility.Across the warehouse, the centaur golem thundered into action, its horse-like metallic hooves echoing like a heavy tank in motion. Armed with two lances, it charged towards Sam with formidable speed, each swing of its double lances threatening to cleave through anything in its path.Thinking quickly, Sam seized upon an idea. Using the inactive golems scattered around the warehouse as makeshift shields, he positioned himself strategically, absorbing the oncoming attacks.With a deft maneuver, he directed the lance of the charging centaur golem towards an inactive horned golem, its metal body shattering up
Sam's heart raced as he forced Alfred to halt the charging of the devastating beam. But Sam’s hand could not reach him.Alfred flew back too quickly and too far for Sam to catch, leaving him to land on the ground once more. Aware of his vulnerable position, Sam retreated to the side of the warehouse where he could keep both the golem and Alfred in sight."Damned assassin! You are forcing me to use this!" Alfred's voice boomed, still convinced that Sam was sent by his rivals.From the raised platform in the corner of the warehouse, the fabric began to rumble then tear apart, revealing two massive claws that tore through the fabric. Emerging from it was a colossal metallic monstrosity, its presence filling the warehouse with an aura of dread."Behold, my secret project that I've been working on for the past three months day and night! The Drake!" Alfred declared triumphantly, his laughter echoing off the walls of the warehouse.The Drake Golem, partially obscured by the tattered cloth,
Even in defeat, the artificer still suspected Sam of being an assassin sent by his rival. "Who sent you?" Alfred demanded, his voice betraying a mix of defiance and desperation."No one," Sam replied firmly, his gaze steady as he met Alfred's accusatory stare."You are such a talented sorcerer," Alfred began, his tone shifting to one of persuasion. "Don’t waste your talent with them. Work with me instead. How much are they paying you? I can pay twice as much."Sam felt a twinge of temptation at the offer, but he quickly pushed it aside. He couldn't trust a man who had just moments ago sought to kill him. "No one sent me.”“Why do you care so much about hiding your master? Don’t you see my status and wealth? I can pay you even four times as much if you want!”“I came on my own," he asserted, crouching down to grab Alfred's collar with a firm grip.With his victory secured, Sam pressed Alfred once more. "Did you steal the wizard's spell?" he demanded, his voice tinged with urgency.Alfr
Four golem fists hurtled towards Sam with deadly precision and speed. With a swift series of wind steps, Sam narrowly evaded their crushing blows, his heart pounding in his chest as he saw the marks they left behind.But his respite was short-lived, as the onslaught continued from above. Golem hands, each wielding a menacing sword or lance, rained down upon him with relentless force. Sam reacted instinctively, hurling fireballs in a desperate attempt to counteract the barrage. However, his efforts proved futile as the projectiles did little to deter the relentless assault.Dodging and weaving nimbly, Sam rolled across the floor, his movements a mess as he relied on instinct as he attempted to avoid the deadly shower of metal. He threw more fireballs, not for damage, but to obscure Alfred's vision.With each fiery blast, the warehouse filled with smoke and flames, shrouding the battlefield in a haze of confusion. Sam seized the opportunity to maneuver through the chaos, his senses on h
As the beam faded, Alfred's laughter echoed through the warehouse, only to abruptly cease when his eyes met Rafael's defiant gaze."What? How? How could you still stand?" he exclaimed, disbelief etched on his face.Rafael paid no heed to Alfred's questions. Instead, he darted with purpose, evading the onslaught of attacks from the swarming golem's parts. Alfred unleashed a barrage of flying punches, sword slashes, and spear impaling moves, but Rafael's movements were nothing short of mesmerizing.With a blend of uncanny agility and unpredictable maneuvers, Rafael dodged with a chaotic grace. Sometimes he moved straight, and other times he executed acrobatic somersaults in midair, confounding his adversaries.Under Rafael's control, Sam became an enigma, unleashing a whirlwind of unpredictable movements that left Alfred bewildered and frustrated. Unaware of the change in Sam's body control, Alfred grew increasingly frustrated, pouring more energy to crush Sam.The warehouse became a fr
"I'll take this... and this," Sam chimed mischievously as he swiftly pilfered various items from the chaotic wreckage of the warehouse, sending them off to the safety of his dimensional vault. He made sure to snag the most valuable parts of the golem, particularly the precious magic crystals that powered them.Rafael suggested that Sam should consider devouring the magic crystals, just as he had done earlier, but Sam quickly dismissed the idea with a shudder of revulsion. He still vaguely tasted the bitterness of the powdered crystal lingering in his mouth from Rafael's antics, and he had no desire to experience that sensation again.As Sam busied himself with his looting spree, he couldn't help but overhear the distant sounds of commotion outside the warehouse. Curious, he approached the door and peered outside, only to be met with the alarming sight of the Archon Complex building engulfed in flames, courtesy of his earlier handiwork.Amused by the unexpected turn of events, Sam coul
Lyra stood in the dimly lit room, distress evident in the furrow of her brow and the worry lines etched on her face. She couldn't shake the sinking feeling in her stomach as she glanced out the window, where the glow of distant flames danced against the night sky."Sam, what have you done?" she asked, her voice trembling with concern. "That fire in Thaumapolis, you started it?”“Do I need to repeat myself?” Sam chuckled, his tone casual.“People could have been hurt!"“Of course, I beat him!” Sam's smirk widened as he spoke.“Beat who? Who are you fighting with?” Lyra's confusion deepened.“The artificer,” Sam replied, unbuttoning his suit.“Y-you beat… Regina? The young girl? Why would you do that?” Lyra's voice wavered with disbelief.“Oh, right. I beat her and her father too,” Sam said, continuing to unbutton his suit.“What do you mean too? Who else did you fight with? Whyyy?!” Lyra's questions came rapid-fire.“I was just reclaiming what had been stolen,” Sam said, pushing Lyra's
"Oh, I've got something for you, Lyra," Sam announced, releasing her from his embrace to reach into his pocket. With a flourish, he produced a small, luxurious wooden box and presented it to her with a charming smile. Lyra looked at the box, her confusion evident in her furrowed brow, before turning her gaze back to Sam."What is this?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity and bewilderment.Sam chuckled softly, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes. "Wait, I should have done this more properly," he said, his tone playful as he dropped to one knee, presenting the box to her as if in a formal proposal. With a graceful motion, he opened the lid, revealing the dazzling ring nestled within, its diamond gleaming in the soft light.Lyra's eyes widened in astonishment as she beheld the ring, her breath catching in her throat. "Wha-why? Where did you get this?" she stammered, her words tumbling out in a jumble of questions.Sam's smile widened as he recalled his impromptu looting spree
The battlefield lay in ruins, the scent of scorched earth heavy in the air. Samael hovered victorious, the infernal essence absorbed, the daemon hordes vanquished, and the rift dispersed. The cost of the battle was evident. The team emerged from their hiding place, their expressions a mix of awe and exhaustion."Is it over?" Ammy asked, her voice trembling with relief.“Yes, it's over, Ammy,” Kaelyn said.“Sam won,” Lyra said with a smile.After dealing with the rift, Samael turned their attention to the survivors. Using their enhanced void and dimensional powers, they created portals to transport the survivors to safety beyond the mountain range. The team's gratitude was palpable as they were whisked away from the hellish battlefield.Then, Samael redirected the flow of lava through dimensional gates, guiding it to safer locations and preventing further destruction."Look at that," said one barely conscious survivor, his eyes wide with admiration. "Just like … a god."As the last imme
The battle between Samael and Baelthrosk reached its climax, the air thick with the scent of sulfur and the echoes of their titanic clash. Samael, now the union of Sam, the System, and Rafael, moved with an unearthly grace and power. Their combined might was a force to be reckoned with, and they were ready to unleash the legendary spells that would tip the scales of this apocalyptic confrontation.With a roar, Samael called upon the first of the legendary spells to start this onslaught. “Primordial Symphony!” Their energy and power increased beyond comprehension. They flew up high and then raised their hands. They were so in sync that they were like in a trance, creating their own legendary spell on instinct.“Inferno of Creation!” A colossal pillar of flame erupted from the ground, its heat so intense it melted the surrounding rocks into rivers of lava. Even Baelthrosk's fire resistance was not enough; the infernal firestorm engulfed him, searing his flesh and making him bellow in ago
The air crackled with tension and energy as Samael hovered opposite of Baelthrosk, now transformed into a grotesque behemoth of infernal and demonic energy. The ground beneath their feet was a shattered wasteland, the remnants of the Promised Land. A chilling silence hung in the air, broken only by the distant cries of the wounded daemons horde and the rumble of thunder across the darkened sky.Aria, her power nearly spent, summoned the last remnants of her strength to conjure a gust of wind, lifting the countless unconscious survivors and carrying them away from the hellish battlefield. The others helped in any way they could. The team worked tirelessly to shepherd the survivors to safety, their eyes constantly flicking back to the impending clash between Samael and Baelthrosk. Each member of the team felt the weight of the moment."Let’s get them out of here, quickly!" Aria urged, her voice strained. "Sam can't be distracted!"The sky split open with a deafening crack of thunder as
All In“I don’t need those pitiful spells anyway!” Baelthrosk grumbled. Baelthrosk's body convulsing, healing, and closing the energy hole Samael had created in his vessel.Samael stood amidst the infernal battlefield, his aura pulsing with the reclaimed power of Friedo’s spells. He knew this was their only chance.“Harmonic Nexus!” Samael screamed. They began to absorb the infernal daemon essence around him, drawing it into his core. The daemons' bodies writhled, dissipated as their essence was being absorbed. The Hybirds lose their daemonic form, returning to their human form. They dropped unconsious from this process.The air vibrated with the sheer intensity of the energy being siphoned by Samael.“No!” Baelthrosk roared in fury, unwilling to let his power be stolen. "I won't let you!" he bellowed. With a forceful command, he ordered all the lesser infernal daemons to come and to fuse with him.The ground quaked as the daemons swarm were pulled towards Baelthrosk, their bodies mer
Baelthrosk's expression darkened as he saw his son defying him with a mere human. "You dare defy me, Rafael? You are nothing without me!" He raised his hand, summoning more daemon underlings to impede Rafael’s progress.The sky above was a tumultuous sea of crimson clouds, the air thick with the stench of sulfur and burning rock. Rivers of lava carved paths of destruction through the landscape, and the heat was almost unbearable.Yet, amidst this infernal chaos, Sam and Rafael stood their ground, their resolve unshaken.As the daemons charged, Rafael and Sam fought back with newfound fury. Each swing of their fists was infused with the desperation of survival and the burning desire for freedom. The Soul Reaver spell continued to siphon the essences of the infernals, their combined power growing with each defeated daemon.‘Keep pushing, Sam! We can do this!’ Rafael shouted, his voice a beacon of determination in the midst of the hellish battlefield.Sam responded with resolute defiance
Rafael RebellionRafael's struggle intensified, his roar of rage echoing through the volcanic landscape. "No! I will not be consumed by you!" he shouted, his voice filled with defiance.The ground beneath them continued to rumble, the volcanic activity reaching a fever pitch. The landscape continued to tremble under the weight of the infernal chaos Baelthrosk had unleashed.Amidst the fiery eruptions and rivers of molten lava, Rafael fought desperately against the pull of his father’s dark power. His essence was being drained, and he could feel his strength waning. But deep within him, a spark of rebellion ignited.In a last-ditch effort, Rafael focused all his willpower and took full control over Sam’s body, numbing and ignoring all the pain that coursed through it. ‘Sam, I need your strength,’ Rafael whispered within their shared mind. ‘Lend it to me… please.’‘Oh, now you are begging me?’ Sam retorted.‘Please. If not, you are also going to die from this extraction.’Sam sighed in
Infernal HomecomingBaelsthrosk's body seemed to grow, his form pulsing with infernal energy. He raised a hand, and the ground beneath them began to rumble. Cracks appeared in the stone, and a searing heat emanated from below."Behold my true power!" the Infernal Sovereign declared, his voice echoing through the land.The ground shook violently beneath their feet. The volcanic mountains surrounding the promised land began to erupt simultaneously, sending plumes of ash and molten rock into the sky."This is insane!" Lyra shouted over the deafening noise. "How are we supposed to fight in this?"The ground split open, revealing a chasm filled with molten lava. Flames erupted, and the air filled with the acrid smell of sulfur.Rafael, his eyes wide with excitement, yelled over the rumbling cacophony. "He's bringing our home to us!"Molten lava spewed from the peaks, cascading down the slopes in fiery torrents. The sky turned a deep crimson, and the air was filled with the acrid stench of
The attack only chipped the Archlord’s scales. He roared in anger, spinning around to face his elusive opponent. Sam focused on the amulet again, using a series of blinks to dodge the Archlord’s attacks, allowing him to maneuver around the battlefield with newfound agility. He could see the surprise and frustration growing in the Archlord's eyes."You dare use such tricks against me?" the Archlord bellowed, his voice echoing across the battlefield.Sam didn't answer. Instead, he created a series of voids that absorbed the Archlord’s thunderous attacks and let him move away freely.The other archmages, seeing Sam's sudden resurgence, found a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Aria, despite her exhaustion, cast spells to aid Sam, channeling her energy into various elemental bursts that disrupted enemy attacks.The battlefield was a chaotic maelstrom of dark energy and desperate valor. The Archlord, now fully aware of Sam's new abilities, snarled with rage. His eyes glowed with a sinister
The battlefield had descended into pure chaos. The newly transformed Daemonic Archlord, now brimming with infernal power, was an unstoppable force. His dark energy radiated from him like a suffocating shroud, casting an ominous pressure over the land.He charged toward Sam like a bolt. His fists were like hammers, pummeling Sam with a ferocity that left him gasping for breath and reeling from the impact.Sam tried to parry and dodge, but the Archlord’s reaction speed was beyond human. Every attack Sam attempted was effortlessly dodged by the Archlord's Vortex step, which allowed him to teleport short distances in an instant.With each of the Archlord's strikes, thunder sparked, and the air itself seemed to tremble in fear. Sam, despite his power and skills, found himself at the mercy of the Archlord’s relentless onslaught."You're only a weak human," the Archlord taunted, his voice a deep, rumbling growl. He delivered a crushing blow to Sam's ribs, sending him flying across the land.
