Sean, Carlo, Alex, Fran, and Medina unleashed their strongest attacks to break the dome of darkness that was preventing them from escaping the forest.
However, no matter what they did, they weren't able to create an opening. The black dome was simply too hard, and even their strongest attacks didn't put a dent to it.
"It's no use," Ron said solemnly. "It seems that we need to kill the Demon Lord first in order to escape from this place."
Fran had already tended to his injury. Although he hadn't fully recovered, he had enough strength to fight for his life.
Carlo had also recovered somewhat. The older man was standing beside Alex and watching the battle in the distance.
A red ball of fire and a golden orb of light collided against each other. No one needed to be told that this was the Demon Lord's and the Hero's fated battle.
All kinds of fighting ceased immediately as everyone waited with bated breath to see who would emerge victorious.
