It wasn't long before the gates of Elris were fully engulfed in war.
Steel clashed against cursed metal as humans and demons fought for control of the castle, a tide of blades, arrows, and magic sweeping across the battlefield.
Above it all, Stella's wards and radiant attacks blazed like a second sun. Her shield gleamed as her light-based skills spread outward, and wherever they touched the soldiers, Elios's blessing took hold of the field.
Thousands of men and women shone with newfound strength, their bodies burning with the radiance of the new Light Spirit's monarch. A massive halo even formed above them all, its brilliance so intense that it blinded those it deemed enemies.
The humans, half-breeds, and even demons who had turned against their kind were aided by the spirits themselves, marching forward fearlessly.
"Forward!" Stella's cry rang clear, her voice cutting through the chaos.
