The battle intensified, a whirlwind of steel and demonic energy.
I moved with a speed and ferocity that surprised even myself, my body a blur of motion as I struck at the knight from every angle.
The golem was strong, its armor deflecting many of my blows, but I was relentless.
"Come on!" I shouted, my voice hoarse with exertion. "Is that all you've got?"
The knight retaliated with a sweeping strike that sent me skidding across the floor. It raised its sword high, preparing for a killing blow.
"Valerian!" Liliana screamed, her wings beating frantically as she tried to reach me.
"Don't you dare die on us!" Aisha yelled, her own weapons flashing as she fought to keep the knight's attention divided.
Mephistopheles watched with a critical eye, her arms crossed over her chest. "Focus," she commanded.
I gritted my teeth, pushing myself to my limits. The knight's sword descended, but I rolled out of the way at the last second.
