David and his team successfully destroyed the Shadow Devouring Race remnants' altars in the Dark Cities while David led an assault on the council's stronghold, Eternal Night Castle. They gathered crucial intelligence about the council's conspiracy with Abyssal Hell to invade the Multiverse. After regrouping, the team launched a coordinated attack, defeating the council and thwarting the invasion.

Lianna too grasped the severity of their predicament.

Swiftly employing the Shadow Escape Technique, she sought a path through the swarming Shadow Beasts.

Yet, the sheer multitude of Shadow Beasts and their rapid assaults made evading them completely a daunting task for Lianna’s evasive maneuver.

"David, we have to combine our strength against these Shadow Beasts!" Lianna’s voice rang out.

David responded with a nod, and his transformed Chaos Dragon Wolf unleashed a thunderous roar.

Then, he plunged into the sea of Shadow Beasts, his formidable claws and immense power carving through the enemy’s ranks.

Lianna followed closely, her Shadow Escape Technique allowing her to dart between the Shadow Beasts while striking their vulnerable spots with her keen dagger and precise spells.

As the two fought as one, the tide of Shadow Beasts slowly began to falter.

However, the "Dark Erosion Great Witch" remained unyielding.

With continuous infusions of Dark Power, he summoned even more Shadow Beasts, seeking to engulf David and Lianna in their numbers.

Confronted by an unending wave of foes, David and Lianna felt the mounting pressure.

They understood that unless they could quickly locate and vanquish the "Dark Erosion Great Witch," the battle would drag on indefinitely.

Consequently, they resolved to adopt a more proactive strategy.

David’s Chaos Dragon Wolf suddenly surged forward, smashing into a cluster of Shadow Beasts and sending them flying with its sheer might.

Simultaneously, Lianna unleashed a potent Shadow Binding Technique, momentarily immobilizing the surrounding Shadow Beasts.

Seizing this opportune moment, David and Lianna pushed deeper into the castle.

They navigated through tangled undergrowth and sharp thorns, their advance unstoppable, until they finally reached the chamber inhabited by the "Dark Erosion Great Witch."

The "Dark Erosion Great Witch" was clad in a dark robe, topped with a tall hat, his face concealed by an eerie mask.

His eyes burned with a shadowy luminescence, seeming to pierce through the deepest fears and despair residing in one’s heart.

"Hmph, you insignificant pests dare to intrude upon my domain!" the Dark Erosion Great Witch scoffed.

He gestured with the Magic Staff he held, and a surge of potent Dark Power erupted, hurtling towards David and Lianna.

David and Lianna were ready for the onslaught.

They swiftly activated their individual Defense Skills, managing to weather the assault from the "Dark Erosion Great Witch."

Nevertheless, the "Dark Erosion Great Witch’s" power surpassed their expectations, his attacks arriving in relentless waves, leaving them struggling to maintain their footing.

"We must face him together!" David declared.

His transformed Chaos Dragon Wolf let out another fierce roar, fighting in tandem with Lianna.

Moving with perfect coordination, their offensive and defensive movements became synchronized, gradually stabilizing their precarious situation.

Yet, the "Dark Erosion Great Witch" had no intention of granting them respite.

He continued to unleash various formidable Dark Magic and Summoning Techniques, intent on utterly defeating David and Lianna.

Facing such a powerful adversary, the duo had no choice but to channel all their strength, fighting with every fiber of their being.

It was at this critical juncture that Aria, Sofia, and Liya arrived within the chamber.

Upon witnessing David and Lianna locked in a desperate struggle, they immediately joined the fray.

The witches' intervention dramatically shifted the balance of the battle.

They unleashed their spells and skills in a concentrated assault upon the "Dark Erosion Great Witch."

Aria conjured Flame Magic, setting the chamber ablaze and creating a fiery inferno.

The intense flames swept through the chamber, engulfing both the Shadow Beasts and the "Dark Erosion Great Witch."

The searing heat and brilliant light caused the Shadow Beasts to shriek in agony and revealed a look of terror beneath the "Dark Erosion Great Witch’s" mask.

Sofia employed her Barrier Magic to ensnare the "Dark Erosion Great Witch" within a resilient magical shield.

The barrier pulsed with a radiant glow, firmly securing the "Dark Erosion Great Witch."

He attempted to channel Dark Power to shatter the barrier, but it stood unyielding, instead reflecting his own attacks back at him.

Liya brandished her Longsword and lunged at the "Dark Erosion Great Witch," aiming to engage him in close-quarters combat.

Her Longsword glinted with a chilling luminescence in the firelight, each thrust precisely targeting the "Dark Erosion Great Witch’s" vulnerable areas.

Despite the "Dark Erosion Great Witch’s" best efforts to defend himself, under the combined assault of the witches, he began to show signs of weakening.

With the witches lending their support, David and Lianna found an opening to counterattack.

David’s Chaos Dragon Wolf sprang upon the "Dark Erosion Great Witch," its sharp claws tearing at his robe and mask.

Lianna seized the opportune moment to cast a Shadow Binding Technique, securely fastening the "Dark Erosion Great Witch’s" hands.

Under the combined might of the witches, the formidable "Dark Erosion Great Witch" finally revealed a vulnerability.

David seized this critical moment, unleashing a devastating magical assault known as "Blood Prison Devouring."

A colossal vortex, swirling with blood-red energy, materialized directly above the "Dark Erosion Great Witch's" head, engulfing him completely.

The vortex resonated with the "Dark Erosion Great Witch's" agonized screams and ultimate despair, but the sounds soon vanished.

As the "Dark Erosion Great Witch" ceased to exist, the tide of Shadow Beasts, now leaderless, fractured and fled in disarray.

Simultaneously, the oppressive Dark Power suffusing the castle began to disintegrate, and the atmosphere cleared, becoming fresh once more. Victory was at hand for the witches, David, and Lianna.

Yet, this triumph was merely a prelude to a greater conflict.

They understood that even with the "Dark Erosion Great Witch's" defeat, the council still commanded other Dark Cities and persisted in their insidious infiltration of the Chaos Realm's guild leadership.

To achieve total annihilation of the council and secure lasting peace throughout the Multiverse, an unwavering dedication to relentless progress was essential.

Amidst the jubilant celebrations of their hard-won victory, David convened a crucial meeting with all squad members to meticulously strategize their upcoming operational blueprint.
