As the woman charged towards Mike, her eyes blazed with an intense fury, her face twisted in a snarl. She raised her hand, and Mike felt himself being lifted off the ground, his feet dangling helplessly in the air. The woman's gaze locked onto Mike, her eyes gleaming with malevolence as she watched him struggle.
The woman's other hand began to quiz an invisible substance in the air, her hand moving with a slow and deliberate motion, and Mike felt a searing pain in his neck. He tried to speak, but his voice was barely a whisper.
Mike's face contorted with effort, his eyes bulging as he tried to break free from the woman's grip. His skin turned red, and his breathing grew labored as he clawed at his neck with his hand, trying to remove the invisible hold that was choking him.
The rest of the group watched in horror, their faces pale with fear. Amina's eyes were wide with terror, her mouth hanging open in shock. TJ's face was set in a fierce determination, his eyes blazing with anger as he took a step forward, ready to intervene. Gidado and Avovome's faces were frozen in fear, their eyes fixed on Mike as he struggled in the air. Bisola's eyes were filled with a mix of fear and concern, her face twisted in a worried expression.
As Mike struggled to break free, the woman's expression remained calm and collected, her eyes gleaming with a sinister intent.
Mike then used the artifact in his hand. With a surge of desperation, he focused all his energy on the artifact, and it began to glow with a fierce light. The woman's eyes widened in surprise, her expression faltering for a moment as Mike suddenly surged with power.
The woman stumbled backward, her grip on Mike's neck faltering. Mike felt himself falling to the ground, gasping for air as he landed hard on the stone floor. He looked up at the woman, his eyes blazing with determination. The artifact was still glowing in his hand, and he knew he had to use its power to end this fight once and for all.
The group's faces reflected their shock and relief, their eyes fixed on Mike as he stood up, the artifact still glowing in his hand. Amina's face was filled with a mix of fear and admiration, her eyes locked onto Mike with a newfound respect. TJ's face was set in a fierce determination, his eyes blazing with excitement.
The woman's eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on the artifact in Mike's hand. She took a step back, her dark energy swirling around her like a protective shield. The air seemed to vibrate with tension as the two enemies faced off, their powers locked in a silent struggle.
Mike's eyes blazed with determination, the artifact pulsing with energy in his hand. He could feel its power coursing through him, urging him to strike. The woman, however, seemed unfazed, her confidence in her own abilities evident in her stance.
"You think you can defeat me with that?" she sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. "I have powers beyond your wildest imagination. You are no match for me."
Mike's face set in a fierce determination. "We'll see about that," he said, his voice low and deadly.
The woman laughed, the sound sending shivers down the group's spines. "You are brave, I'll give you that," she said. "But bravery won't be enough to save you."
With a swift motion, the woman raised her hand, and a bolt of dark energy shot towards Mike. The group gasped in unison, their hearts racing with fear. But Mike was ready. With a swift motion, he raised the artifact, and a blast of energy shot out, meeting the woman's dark energy head-on.
The two energies clashed, creating a spectacular display of light and sound. The group's torches flickered and danced, casting eerie shadows on the walls as the battle raged on.
The clash of energies created a shockwave that sent the group stumbling backward. Amina cried out as she lost her footing, but TJ quickly caught her, holding her steady. Gidado and Avovome shielded their eyes from the intense light, while Bisola watched in awe, her mouth hanging open.
The woman's dark energy and Mike's artifact-powered energy raged on, their forces locked in a struggle that seemed to shake the very foundations of the ancient temple. The air was charged with electricity, and the group's skin tingled with the power of the two energies.
As the battle raged on, it seemed that Mike's energy was gaining the upper hand. The woman's dark energy was faltering, her face twisted in a snarl of frustration. Mike's determination and the artifact's power were proving to be a potent combination.
With one final surge of energy, Mike unleashed a blast that sent the woman stumbling backward. She crashed into the wall, her dark energy dissipating as she slid to the ground. The group watched in stunned silence as the woman struggled to get to her feet, her eyes blazing with fury.
But she was no match for Mike's power. With a wave of his hand, the artifact's energy washed over her, and she let out a defeated cry. The darkness around her seemed to dissipate, and she vanished.
