As Dexter fought fiercely against the relentless shadows, he felt the power within him growing. Each strike echoed with determination, a manifestation of his will to protect Charlotte and Henry. The Abyssal Legion soldiers faltered under the force of his blows, but the tide was shifting. Noctis was not just an opponent; he was a nexus of darkness that connected his soldiers to a deeper, more sinister force.“Noctis, you can’t keep this up forever!” Dexter yelled, feeling the exhaustion creeping into his limbs. “Your soldiers are nothing without you!”With a bellow, Noctis lunged forward, his blade slicing through the air toward Dexter. “You know nothing of true power!” he snarled, dark energy crackling around him. “I am the embodiment of the Abyss, and I will crush you!”Dexter ducked, narrowly avoiding the lethal arc of the sword, and countered with a kick aimed at Noctis’s midsection. The kick landed, but Noctis staggered only slightly, a sinister smile spreading across his face. “Y

Dexter charged through the shadows, determined to break the bond between Commander Noctis and his soldiers. With each strike, he focused on disrupting the dark energy that connected them, channeling all the power he had cultivated through his trials.“Keep pushing, Dexter!” Charlotte yelled, her voice a beacon amidst the chaos. She was grappling with one of the soldiers, her daggers flashing as she cut through the darkness. “We can’t let them regroup!”Dexter nodded, taking a deep breath as he unleashed a wave of energy, a bright blast that momentarily illuminated the ruins and pushed the shadowy figures back. “I’m trying!” he shouted back, feeling the strain of the fight beginning to wear on him.The shadows began to coalesce again, and he could sense the danger escalating. Noctis’s anger had manifested into a palpable force, and the air around them crackled with tension.“You think you can break my hold over them?” Noctis taunted, his voice echoing ominously. “You are foolish to cha

“Let’s get back and report what we found,” Dexter said, rising to his feet. “We need to be prepared.As the Seal connected with Axton, a brilliant flash of light erupted from the point of impact, illuminating the factory’s dim interior. The shadows that surrounded the warlord recoiled as if struck by a physical force, their dark forms writhing in confusion. Dexter felt the rush of energy flow through him, invigorating his every move. He pressed forward, unwilling to give Axton a moment to recover.“You think your light can defeat me?” Axton sneered, recovering quickly. He raised both hands, and the shadows coalesced into sharp tendrils that lashed out toward Dexter like whips. Dexter narrowly dodged to the side, feeling the rush of air as one of the tendrils passed close enough to graze his arm, leaving a chilling sensation in its wake.“Raven! Watch out!” Dexter shouted, spotting a shadow creeping up behind her. She spun around just in time, slicing through the shadow with her dagger

As the Seal made contact with Axton, a surge of energy erupted in the air, illuminating the dark factory with a blinding light. Dexter felt the rush of power course through him, merging with the adrenaline of the fight. Axton staggered, his confident facade shattering under the blow."You think you can defeat me?" Axton gasped, his voice strained as he steadied himself. Shadows writhed around him, but they seemed less confident, more hesitant in his presence. “You are but a fleeting spark against the darkness I command!”Dexter pressed forward, refusing to give him any room to recover. "You may think you control the shadows, but they will only serve you for so long." With a fierce swing of the Seal, he struck again, aiming to end the threat before it could spiral out of control.Axton deflected the blow with a shadowy arm that coiled around the Seal, attempting to siphon its power. Dexter grunted as he felt the darkness claw at him, trying to pull him into its depths. He pushed back w

The impact sent Axton sprawling to the ground, his form crashing against the cold concrete floor. Dexter felt a surge of exhilaration, but he knew this wasn’t over. Axton pushed himself up, shadows swirling protectively around him as he glared at Dexter with fury.“You think you can stop me?” Axton spat, his voice low and dangerous. The shadows writhed around him, pulsing with dark energy. “You’re nothing but a child playing with toys far beyond your understanding!”Dexter tightened his grip on the Seal, his resolve hardening. “I’ve faced worse than you,” he replied, stepping forward to confront the warlord. “You’ve underestimated me and my team. This ends here.”With a roar, Axton unleashed a wave of shadow energy, the dark tendrils lashing out toward Dexter. He reacted instinctively, raising the Seal as a shield. The energy collided with it, and for a moment, he felt the raw power of the shadows pressing against him, testing his strength.Raven dashed to Dexter’s side, her agility a
