The night sky was filled with the thunderous roar of an otherworldly symphony, as if the very heavens had opened up and unleashed a celestial orchestra upon the earth. Violins, drums, and trumpets echoed from the sky, their divine melodies weaving a tapestry of sound that set the stars themselves alight.

In the center of this maelstrom of music stood Luca, his sword "Maestro" grasped firmly in his hand. The blade shone with brilliant radiance, the light dancing and flickering in time with the celestial symphony. The Werebats, their piercing shrieks barely audible over the thunderous music, recoiled in agony at the sound, their clawed hands clutching the sides of their misshapen heads, and started attacking both Luca and Halduin in desperation.

Halduin watched in awe as his master sprang into action, his movements a blur as he parried and evaded the Werebats' frenzied attacks. Each slash of Luca's sword was punctuated by a resounding crescendo, the music building in intensity with every swing.

Halduin struggled to keep up, his blade flashing as he fended off a Werebat that had singled him out. He felt the creature's razor-sharp claws graze his cheek, drawing blood, but he refused to falter, pressing his attack with renewed vigor.

Luca, meanwhile, was a whirlwind of steel and song. He moved with a grace and speed that defied comprehension, his sword a gleaming extension of his own body. The Werebats, their senses assaulted by the unearthly music, found themselves unable to land a solid blow, their claws striking only empty air as Luca danced just out of reach.

With each slash of his sword, the symphony in the sky swelled, the once-distant notes now thundering all around them, as if the very fabric of the world had been tuned to Luca's blade. Halduin's eyes widened as he witnessed his master's prowess, the young apprentice's heart racing with a mix of awe and terror at the sheer power on display.

Luca's sword flashed through the air, a blur of steel and radiant light. With a series of lightning-quick strikes, he unleashed a devastating combo he called "Intro Ad Mortem." In the space of a heartbeat, the Werebat he faced was severed, its limbs, wings, and head falling to the rooftop in a grotesque display.

The remaining Werebat, enraged by the death of its kin, let out an animalistic shriek and charged Luca without hesitation. But the seasoned warrior was ready. In a blur of motion, Luca disappeared from the Werebat's sight, leaving only a faint mist in his wake.

Halted by Luca's sudden vanishing, the Werebat had no time to react as a series of crushing impacts slammed into its body from seemingly nowhere. Powerful, invisible forces pierced through the creature's flesh, leaving large, gaping holes in its torso and head. The Werebat staggered back, its cries of pain and confusion echoing into the night.

Halduin watched in stunned silence, his mouth agape, as his master's incredible skill and speed unfolded before his eyes. The celestial symphony continued to swell and crescendo, the very air vibrating with the power of Luca's blade.

The lifeless body of the Werebat crumpled to the rooftop, and from its fallen form emerged Luca, uttering the words: "Mors Sonata."

Halduin, his attention momentarily diverted by his master's display of skill, barely managed to parry the last remaining Werebat's furious assault. His sword flashed in the moonlight, deflecting the creature's savage claws, but he could only find an opportunity to land a shallow thrust, his strikes lacking the power to finish the beast.

Luca watched from the sidelines, his eyes narrowed as he observed his apprentice's struggle. With every swing of Halduin's blade, the steel met the Werebat's claws in a shower of sparks, the young warrior's reflexes and technique being put to the ultimate test.
