  Ayana responded, “There’s something strange here, Dr. Winter. She shouldn’t have been able to get in. The barrier around this facility is imperable. But when I check...” Ayana trailed off, and her eyes widened in disbelief. “Wh-WHAT THE?! The barrier has beeroyed?! I-I ’t expin it, but it’s gone.”

  Dr. Winter responded, “We’ll deal with this intruder just as we’ve dealt with any other. They won’t get away with breaking into this facility, one way or another. We’ll destroy them before they destroy us.”

  Roselle, Risebelle, and Runebelle found themselves bewildered by the events. They turo Mystimona for insight, and he calmly stated, “This attacker followed us here. They’re the cause of all this.”

  Kintovar for a moment and remarked, “Well, this is certainly a surprise.”

  Haras chimed in, “Yeah, talk about an uninvited guest, right?”

  Kintovar nodded and said, “Roselle, Risebelle, Runebelle, go and find out what’s going on.”

  Redino turo Redina and spoke with vi, “Redina, if our individual powers are not enough, it’s time to bine our strengths and use our ultimate bination attack!”

In a blinding explosion of power, the “Love’s Fury Tempest” was shattered, and the merged hero, Redina and Redino, were engulfed by the relentless dark energy of the Spear of Destru. Their bodies disied, and they were cast aside like fallen stars, their powers extinguished.

  With the Spear of Destru once again in her hands, the violet-haired woman advanced, Mentorbot, despite being mostly robotic, dispyed a sense of fear. He moved into a position of submission.

  Ayana quickly tacted Dr. Winter and spoke tense, “Dr. Wihe violet-haired woman has acquired the Spear of Destru. Our forces are struggling to hold her off.”

  Dr. Winter’s eyes widened in reition. She halted iracks. “The Spear of Destru? That’s one of the goddess artifacts! I-If she has it, then we’re in serious trouble. We must act quickly, or everything could be lost.”

  Ayana nodded, a sense of determinatioling in. “We’re already mobilizing the remaining forces, but her power is overwhelming. What should we do?”

  Meanwhile, The violet-haired womalessly decred, “You are in the way.“Mentorbot’s digital face dispyed a range of emotions, from fear to helplessness.

  The goddess on was about to eliminate Mentorbot when suddenly, a deafening on shot filled the air. The violet-haired woman turned her head with her attaterrupted. Smoke and debris filled the area, obsg the vision of those present.

  When the dust began to clear, three figures emerged from the haze, and the sound of metal footsteps echoed. Risebelle, Rosebelle, and Runebelle had arrived on the se.

  Roselle frohe violet-haired woman “What do you think you’re doing?!”

  The violet-haired woman’s gaze remained cold. “What does it look like I’m doing? I’m here to destroy Shadowcroft.”

  Risebelle gred at the woman. “What is this about? Why would you want to destroy Shadowcroft?”

  The violet-haired woman, however, responded coldly. “It’s none of your . You’re just travelers here, oblivious to the world you’ve stumbled into. You know nothing about this pce.”

  Roselle stepped forward. “We know more than you think!”

  The violet-haired woman simply responded, “We’ll see about that.”

  She summohe Spear. Roselle, Runebelle, and Risebelle readied their formidable onry.

  Roselle unleashed her powerful on, sending massive shots hurtling towards the violet-haired woman. However, to her astonishment, the enemy deftly parried each shot with her Spear of Destru, leaving Roselle to utter a bewildered “What?”

  Before she could react, the woman closed the distah lightning speed. Roselle raised her on in a desperate attempt to block the ining attack, but a loud crack resohrough the air. The massive on now bore a signifit fracture. Roselle gasped.

  Roselle attempted to step back, but the woman was relentless. The violet-haired figure kept pace with Roselle, even wheivated her yellow lightning to increase her speed. The csh resumed, but the woman’s precision and power overwhelmed Roselle. In a sudden and brutal move, the woman delivered a vicious kick to Roselle’s stomach.

  Roselle was hurled backward, crashing into a nearby pilr with a painful thud. She struggled to her feet ahe violet-haired woman’s cold gaze.

  Roselle muttered, “Just what is this woman?”

With a gre, she unleashed a fiery bst from her medium oing it to burst mode. Fmes erupted in a furious explosion, aiming directly at the violet-haired woman.

  However, to everyone’s shock, the woman stood unfazed. Risebelle, seeitack’s iiveness, muttered under her breath, “What’s going on here? We’re hitting her, but she’s taking no damage at all.”

  Despite the effort, the violet-haired woman regarded the pilrs with a cold disdain. “Useless.” She raised the Spear of Destru high. “Spear of Destru!”

  In an instant, she vanished from sight, reappearing behind Roselle. The movement was so swift that Risebelle barely had time to react. Her eyes widened in horror. She screamed, “Roselle, behind you!”

  But her warning came a fra too te. The violet-haired woman’s spear plunged downward with a brutal precision. The purple energy surrounding it seemed to distort reality itself as it barreled towards Roselle.

  The spear of destru pierced through Roselle’s body with brutal efficy. The physical pain was immediate and overwhelming, but it was the assault on her very essehat was the most terrifying. Roselle fought against the invasive force with every ounce of her willpower.

  With a cry of agony, Roselle was unched backward, crashing into a pilr. The impact left her crumpled on the ground, surrounded by a swirling mass of bergy residue. Her body looked lifeless. A system message flickered into the checks of Risebelle and Runebelle:
