The paladin grabbed Illena, its silver blade piercing the shadow witches heart. Faded holy power flared. Shadow fled from the light as Illena’s body burned from within, cracks of light forming on her features as the blade burned the undead creature and her remaining insect abominations away. As it pulled the blade from her body, it immediately made a move to swipe at the bat that was assailing it -

Dragan’s hammer came down right on its skull. A feral hiss, as its entire body immediately crumpled as it was smashed from above.

In an instant, it was over.

The paladin hit the ground, unmoving its sword clattering to the ground. The skeletal beast that had been roaming from above would shudder, its bones and body creaking…and then, falling in one swift motion as the paladin had, draping its massive body over the roof of the city and crushing the buildings where it fell.

Dragan could tell that though it was defeated, it was merely sleeping. Dormant, for now.

Akyasha made short work of the rest of the horde too, and in an instant, the fighting was over.

Yet, despite their victory, perhaps it was not one they wanted.

Illena’s shadows had yet to reform. Where she had been stabbed by the paladin instead, was now the warm, still bloody serpents heart she had hidden away in her mass earlier - but no sign of her shadows or voice reforming. The only consolation would be the paladins old, tarnished silver blade itself. Old and worn, but likely still effective against the creatures that roamed here.

“Oh…oh, you managed to defeat it…” Fra quietly interjected. “...it was not without complications, but well done my lords! That thing had been making surviving here difficult…” She shook her head. “Still, we must move onwards…there’s a village not far from here. Humans live there, not well, but they manage it between the madmen and the beasts nearby. If you don’t mind, my lords, once you’re ready I can tell you how to go there.”

It seemed like Fra didn’t wish to leave the city herself, but that would be entirely up to Lady Luna at the moment.
