I leaped towards the demon I could barely see, despite the several spears of lightning around me, the darkness was a thing that I could not cut through. There was a massive chasm between the magic of an Adept, even one as powerful as me, and the Law controlled by a demon with the power of a Sovereign.
The darkness resisted my movements. It pushed against me, trying to smother my light and extinguish the storm I had become, and my forward momentum began to slow, as if I was travelling through thick tar and not air.
The demon reached for me, its long arm tipped with disfigured claws, and despite its lower face that was filled with tentacles, I could tell that it was grinning. But I had died too many times to be extinguished by a little dark.
I poured more of myself into the lightning, and I roared as I became a Titan.
