Try to make an opening.

You take a deep breath. "Eva. Attack with spells. If any other enemies show up, prioritize them. I have a feeling we won't do much to him until we land the shot. Amara, stay behind and heal as needed. Niki, I need you with me. Just don't get hit."

"You got it," Niki replies.

"Nobody will fall as long as I am here," Amara says.

Eva holds up her wand. "Be careful, all right?"

"You too," you respond. "Now let's go!

You bolt straight into the fray. His gigantic figure casts a looming shadow over both you and Niki. He reels back, and swings down with his massive blade. When it collides with the ground, the carpet shatters to bits, and the stone floor sunders. You and Niki leap to opposite sides, but even the shockwave from the blow knocks into your chest and causes you to tumble backwards.

Snow readies the shot, but Sa'dis turns.

"Nice try!" he shouts as he swings his sword into the wall. Stone bricks burst as it begins to collapse around her. She holds onto Dajy, and disappears under a cloud of dust. Though by his expression, it doesn't look like he actually recognized what the arrow was, or he didn't notice.

Shit!

You drop an, "Entangle," on the ground as you maneuver around his feet. Though he thrusts a kick directly into you. Despite jumping back to minimize the blow, it still sends you hurling back straight into a stone column. A shock of pain shoots through your system.

Amara holds you tight. "Major... M-Major Heal!" she mutters as your body relaxes. The comforting embrace of her magic spell calms your nerves. Though by her face, she's the opposite of calm. She shifts uncomfortably in place and tugs on her choker.

At least it makes my sword look cooler. Sa'dis doesn't need to know why it glows.

A magic bolt hurls through the air and smashes into his face. Though, it doesn't seem to do much. He glares at Eva, but then turns his eyes down to the woman at his feet.

He goes for Niki next, but you trigger the trap. Magic tendrils wrap around his foot, causing him to stop in place. Niki lands a heavy blow to his knee, but you don't see pain on his face. He moves, and his foot rising tears through the blue bindings, allowing him to continue moving unhindered. He slams his food down, and the quake drops Niki to her knees. He then scoops her up much like he did with Dajy, and hurls her across the room straight through one of the columns to hit the wall on the other side.

"Niki!" Amara stumbles over in her direction. "Oh boy... Oh dear." As she hurries over to administer another Major Heal, she can barely get it out. She pants, hot and heavy, and moans under her breath.

Snow. Please be okay. Please come back out. We can't hold him much longer, and it's barely been any time at all. Even using any of my spells would be a waste of mana. We need to weaken him first.

Back in combat, you maneuver quickly around his feet and land a slice over the side of his leg with your pink glowing sword. It feels like striking iron. Upon closer inspection, you did manage to open a wound through his flesh, but it starts to close soon after.

All we need is that arrow to land. Then I feel like I could take it from there. Come on... We can do it! One opening. That's all we need.

Boom. There's a sudden explosion above, and the ceiling of the throne room shakes. You look up, as does Sa'dis. Then all of the sudden, a hole in the center bursts open. Rubble and dust showers down over the middle of the hall, and masked in the cloud of debris lands an individual making a rather dramatic entrance. A rope trails up behind him, leading straight upwards onto the roof.

William Cresswell holds his blade up in one hand, while his left hand covered in rings points towards the Demon King. His eyes turn over to you. "I'm glad I wasn't too late," he says. "Your attack happened quicker than I calculated."

"Then calculate better next time. We almost died," you snap back.

"Your frustration is warranted." His gaze turns back to the beast. "But for now, let me help you."

You look over to the rubble in the corner of the room. A white tail sprouts up. "All we need is one opening," you say.

He stands beside you. "Then let's get one."
