Inside the Isolation, Azrakel and Morvath realized they were facing a power that surpassed anything they had ever known. Every movement was anticipated, every attack repelled. The perfect coordination of Kaelen, Tavric, and Lord Ryo turned their assaults into repeated failures.
> "We cannot…" murmured Azrakel, his aura flickering under the overwhelming pressure of the Isolation.
"Even with our twenty thousand demons… this force is…" added Morvath, his voice full of frustration and rage.
In a final desperate attempt, the two Demon Kings concentrated all their power into a combined offensive. Waves of dark energy merged, forming a colossal whirlwind that surged toward the Guardians and their servants. The demons advanced with unprecedented violence, ready to sacrifice everything to break through the lines.
Kaelen and Tavric, supported by their servants, resisted fiercely, blocking each assault with surgical precision. Lord Ryo's strikes, though restrained by the Isolation to protect the world, cut down the strongest units, rendering every attack by the Demon Kings ineffective.
> "Lord Kaelen… they seem to be at their limit…" warned a servant.
"Keep holding their offensive. We cannot yield for even a moment," replied Kaelen, striking with his wings and fists to disperse a group of demons.
Realizing the impossibility of victory, Azrakel and Morvath ceased their attack, panting and humiliated. Lord Ryo's power had crushed them without even unleashing his full destructive potential. Silence fell over the battlefield, broken only by the heavy breathing of the surviving demons.
> "We… acknowledge our defeat," declared Azrakel, his voice trembling but respectful.
"Lord Ryo… we swear loyalty and obedience. Verdalis… will now be under your protection," added Morvath, kneeling before the golden figure of their master.
Kaelen and Tavric exchanged a glance, aware that this submission marked a turning point in the war. The threat that had once seemed insurmountable was now transformed into a force that could help protect the kingdom.
> "Verdalis will remain intact…" murmured Kaelen, still breathing heavily. "Even the Demon Kings now recognize Lord Ryo's authority."
The Isolation, having contained the shock of unleashed power, returned to tranquility, turning what could have been total destruction into a decisive triumph for the Guardians and their master.
