**Defeat the Night** is the third episode of the 1st Season of the *GenVera's Universe* series. It uses the JPB's song of the same name.

Defeat the Night tells a story that parallels the events of Heroes Tonight and shows the battles that take place during the invasion of the city of Dolonwan.

Events take place in Quartzite-City, the capital of the Slimes of the Upper World, as well as in the village of Naftali, which is attacked by the Nether armies.

## Synopsis

The events of this part unfold at the moment of the very night when Gen, along with General Hunter, tried to stop the invasion.
Thus, without knowing, they lost other cities, and only found out with the arrival of Enderina's and Lordes.

## Plot

The video begins with a demonstration of dawn in the mountain region, as well as Quartzite-City, from which Gen is leading some of his warriors to Dolonwan, to help Hunter. A garrison of warriors remains in the city, led by General Hous, who has honorably assumed the reins of interim steward.

In the evening, a Nether portal opens near the walls of Quartzite-City, which the guards notice, but it turns out to be too late.
Chronsus sneaks up the wall and massacres the guards. Afterwards, he opens other portals, from which the pigmans run out. A battle ensues, in which General Hous joins in as he sees the mess going on.

Hous and Chronsus engage in a battle in which they inflict many wounds on each other. However, Chronsus' pyromantic abilities played a part in the battle. Grabbing and smashing his saber, Chronsus broke off the horn of Hous' helmet and impaled with part of his own armor, and when he fell to the ground, he impaled his with his own axe.

Lordes, who had come to negotiate with the Gen, saw the mayhem going on in the city, but did not intervene, knowing that he alone would not be strong enough to defeat the enemy. He hurried to Endrina to tell her the unfortunate news.

The scene shifts to the village of Naftali, home of the assassin Ethan, who secretly keeps the magical wither-book. He goes to the forge to study its entry properly, where he is given to reminiscing. He recalls stumbling upon the wither-skeletons he defeated to get the book, but was forced to interrupt his reading due to people nearby.

Ethan was on his way home, but saw that one of the inhabitants was thrown back several meters decided to deal with the situation and help the kid. It turned out that the villege had been invaded by a wither-skeleton dressed in a mantle.

Ethan arrogantly thought that he could deal with him, but the enemy was not as simple as he thought, and wither-skeleton named Kamefaros inflicted several wounds on Ethan, after that he threw him back a few meters, knocked out his weapons, and with the help of a spell, carelessly took a book, from which another artifact - the Stone of Cold Fire, fell out.

Ethan, who had previously studied the fallen artifact applied its magical properties and chaotically teleported to a random location that was outside of the Upper World. Ethan made sure of his own safety and lay down to rest on the grass that had landed.

The scene returns us to the village of Naftali, where Kamefaros is reading the book he received. Soon after slaughtering the villagers, he orders the arriving blazes to burn the village to the ground. Kamefaros returns to Nether, along with the rest of the warriors.

Immediately after Kamefaros leaves, Enderina arrives in the village, sensing Ender's magical energy. After seeing what happened and finding nothing, she returned to End, where Lordes was already waiting for her.

The video ends with the demon Luminor passing through the village hours later, wandering from place to place. He finds Ethan's sword, which he really liked, and appropriates it for himself.
