Sir Malachar's voice booms with authority amidst the chaos, his determination unwavering despite the looming threat. "We must prioritize closing the Rift," he commands, his eyes ablaze with resolve. "I'll handle the towering demon. The rest of you, focus on sealing the Rift. We cannot allow it to continue spewing forth these abominations."

With a solemn nod, you and your companions rally to Sir Malachar's plan. As he charges headlong towards the towering demon, his sword gleaming with righteous fury, you turn your attention to the Rift, determination burning in your heart.

As Sir Malachar engages the demon in a fierce battle, his every strike fueled by the last remnants of his strength, you and your companions unleash your combined might upon the Rift. With each blow, the Rift weakens, its dark energy faltering under the onslaught of your attacks. Despite the demons' relentless assault, you refuse to yield, driving them back with unwavering resolve.

But even as victory seems within reach, tragedy strikes. With a deafening roar, the towering demon delivers a devastating blow, sending Sir Malachar hurtling through the air. As he falls, his sword clatters to the ground, his valiant efforts thwarted by the overwhelming might of the demon.

At the same time, Raven Nightshade, ever the elusive shadow, emerges from the darkness to confront the demon head-on. With unmatched agility, she darts and weaves through its attacks, striking with deadly precision. However, in a cruel twist of fate, despite her best efforts, the demon proves too powerful, and she falls beneath its relentless onslaught.

With a final, defiant cry, Sir Malachar summons the last ounce of his strength, delivering a decisive blow to the demon's weakened form. His sacrifice ensures that the Rift begins to close. As the Rift collapses in on itself, sealing away the demonic horde, you and your remaining companions stand in solemn silence, mourning the loss of your fallen comrades.

Though victory has been achieved, it has come at a great cost. As you survey the battlefield strewn with the bodies of the fallen, you vow to honor their memory by continuing the fight against the darkness that threatens your world.
