The battle rages on for what feels like hours, but Teri and Kei's combined strength begins to turn the tide. The Shroud's form starts to falter, its once-imposing presence shrinking under the relentless onslaught.

Kei (shouting):
"Now, Teri! This is our chance!"

Teri, his plasma sword crackling with energy, leaps into the air and delivers a devastating strike to The Shroud's core. At the same moment, Kei unleashes a torrent of magical energy, sending it straight into the heart of the darkness.

The Shroud lets out a final, deafening scream as its form disintegrates, the shadowy tendrils dissolving into nothingness. The sky clears, and the city is bathed in the warm glow of victory.
