After Tang Mia's pact with her mother, the old sorceress, she was tang mia's mother after the pact tang mia could feel the same bloodline and the connection between them . But her mother refused to let her know more than that as if a huge conspiracy was surrounding the world with her mother being the cause. she emerged from the ritual changed, no longer entirely human. Her eyes gleamed with a cold, inhuman glow, and her very presence seemed to radiate a chilling darkness. She had become a vessel for the dark magic that her mother wielded, her body transformed into a weapon of destruction. The power coursing through her veins was unlike anything she had ever felt. It wasn't just physical strength—it was a mastery of shadows, manipulation of reality, and the ability to drain life itself from her surroundings.

Tang Mia could now bend darkness to her will. Shadows moved at her command, capable of taking solid form, becoming weapons, or even ensnaring her enemies. Her control over the darkness allowed her to disappear into shadows, travel through them, and reappear wherever they touched, making her nearly impossible to track. She could manipulate her environment, causing illusions that blurred the line between reality and nightmare, disorienting anyone who stood in her way. But perhaps the most terrifying aspect of her new powers was the ability to siphon life force. With a mere touch, she could drain the vitality from living beings, leaving them weakened or, if she wished, dead.

Her mother, the old sorceress, watched with approval as Tang Mia embraced her new powers. "You have become darkness itself, my daughter," she whispered, her voice filled with sinister pride. "Now, nothing can stop you. Not even Sofia."

The day of their confrontation arrived quicker than either could have imagined. Sofia had heard whispers of Tang Mia's transformation, but she remained calm, undisturbed. She had faced many threats in her life, and although she sensed the dark magic surrounding Tang Mia, she knew that no external power could surpass the strength she carried within herself. Nevertheless, Sofia prepared herself, tapping into the ancient forces that had protected her time and time again. While Tang Mia had aligned herself with darkness, Sofia's power was rooted in something far more enduring—light, balance, and the innate energy of life itself.

They met on neutral ground, a vast, abandoned courtyard under a sky heavy with the weight of impending doom. The moonlight filtered through the clouds, casting an eerie glow on the empty space. Tang Mia stood on one side, her dark aura seeping into the ground beneath her, making the shadows around her twist and writhe. Across from her, Sofia stood, calm and composed, her presence radiating a quiet strength. Though Sofia had no visible aura, there was an unmistakable energy about her, something pure and untouchable.

"So, you've finally decided to face me," Sofia said, her voice steady.

Tang Mia smirked, the hatred in her eyes burning as brightly as the power she now wielded. "Face you? I'm here to end you. You should have known this was inevitable."

Sofia regarded her for a moment, her expression unreadable. "You've given yourself to darkness, Tang Mia. You think that makes you powerful, but you don't understand what real strength is."

Tang Mia's expression darkened. "Enough of your condescension!" she hissed, raising her hand. Instantly, the shadows around her came to life, forming long, spear-like tendrils that shot forward, aiming to impale Sofia.

But Sofia was faster. She raised her own hand, and with a flash of light, a protective barrier formed around her. The shadow spears struck the barrier and disintegrated into nothingness. Tang Mia's eyes widened with rage. She summoned more shadows, shaping them into creatures, dark beasts that snarled and lunged at Sofia. The creatures were twisted, nightmarish forms, made of pure malice and darkness.

Sofia's response was swift. With a simple wave of her hand, beams of light erupted from her fingers, cutting through the shadow creatures like a sword through fog. They dissipated into black mist, unable to withstand the purity of Sofia's energy.

"You'll have to do better than that," Sofia said calmly.

Tang Mia's anger boiled over. She raised both hands this time, pulling the shadows in the courtyard toward her, gathering them into a massive, swirling vortex. The wind picked up, howling as the vortex grew larger, darker, more violent. "I am darkness itself now!" Tang Mia shouted over the roar of the vortex. "I will consume you!"

With a scream of fury, she unleashed the vortex, sending it spiraling toward Sofia. The swirling mass of darkness threatened to engulf everything in its path, devouring the light around it, warping reality itself.

Sofia stood firm. As the vortex rushed toward her, she closed her eyes for a brief moment, centering herself. When she opened them, her entire body glowed with a radiant light. It wasn't just any light—it was the light of life, the energy that flowed through all living things, the very force that sustained the world.

Sofia extended her hand, and from her palm, a wave of pure energy shot forward. The light collided with the vortex, and for a moment, there was a deafening silence. Then, with a blinding flash, the vortex began to unravel. The shadows screamed as they were torn apart by the light, disintegrating into nothingness. Within seconds, the entire vortex was gone, leaving only the still, cold air in its wake.

Tang Mia stumbled back, her breath ragged, her eyes wide with disbelief. She had unleashed all the power she had, and it had still not been enough.

"How...?" Tang Mia gasped, her voice trembling with frustration and shock. "How can you still stand? I have the power of darkness itself!"

Sofia looked at her with a mixture of sadness and resolve. "Power without balance is self-destructive. You've given yourself to darkness, but in doing so, you've lost everything that made you strong. You can never defeat me, Tang Mia, because true strength isn't about controlling others or wielding power. It's about understanding yourself."

Tang Mia's eyes burned with fury. "You don't understand anything!" she screamed. With a final desperate move, she lunged at Sofia, her hand outstretched, ready to drain her life force. Her touch could kill anyone now—anyone except Sofia.

Sofia stood still, unflinching, as Tang Mia's hand reached her. When their skin made contact, instead of Sofia weakening, it was Tang Mia who froze, her eyes widening in shock. Sofia's energy flowed into her, overwhelming her dark magic. The light that radiated from Sofia wasn't just energy—it was healing, it was balance, and it was everything Tang Mia had forsaken.

Tang Mia staggered back, her dark aura flickering like a dying flame. She fell to her knees, the power she had sacrificed so much for slipping away from her grasp. She looked up at Sofia, her hatred now replaced with fear and confusion.

"No... it can't be..." Tang Mia whispered, her voice breaking.

Sofia knelt in front of her, her expression softening. "It's not too late, Tang Mia. You can still turn back. Your power doesn't have to consume you."

But Tang Mia shook her head, tears of frustration welling up in her eyes. "No. I've gone too far... I... I can't..."

Sofia stood, her light still radiating. "Then I'm sorry."

Tang Mia collapsed, her powers drained, her will broken. The dark magic that had consumed her was fading, and for the first time in a long time, she felt the weight of her choices. The confrontation was over, but the battle within Tang Mia had only just begun.

Sofia watched her for a moment longer before turning and walking away, leaving Tang Mia to face the consequences of the darkness she had chosen to embrace. After Sofia left the old lady emerged from the shadows indeed as I aspected Sofia powers are not something that one could defeat but while you fought with her I have already assessed her powers even they seems invincible but I found a way thanks to you tang mia you are mother lucky star said Rossy . Tang mia looked at her mother rossy and smiled sinisterly with hope in her eyes to defeat sofia
