Gariel? he thought, his eyes widening in surprise and disbelief.
A message flashed across Alex's vision amidst the chaos of the battle:
[Quest Completed]
[Help Gariel escape the Jail of Hell]
[Rewards: Controller of Hell]
A smile flickered across Alex's face, a brief respite from the intensity of the fight. The quest completion brought a sense of satisfaction, but he couldn't dwell on it for long. Hila's monstrous form loomed before him, a reminder of the daunting task that still lay ahead.
Gariel, his angelic wings shimmering with power, drew his celestial sword, its blade radiating a blinding light. He raised his weapon, his gaze fixed on the monstrous Demon King.
"Hila!" he boomed, his voice echoing across the battlefield. "Your reign of terror ends today!"
Hila, momentarily distracted by Gariel's arrival, turned to face the newcomer, a flicker of annoyance crossing his face. "Another insect buzzing around my ear," he growled. "You're no match for me, angel."
