First, your interpretation is the one you should use for your understanding.

Yes, Elmal was in the sky, atop Kero Fin, glowing dimly. At the same time he rode around his lord's stead, loyal retainer warrior that he is, to drive off the demons and dead who would have hurt his wards.
>and so even though he is the sun and descends into

>somehow.
Is the night entirely dark? That is the light of Elmal. Are the hearts of men without hope? That is the light of Elmal. Do fires dim to darkness when the Sun leaves its upper border? That is the light of Elmal.
Is your understanding increased to remember that Elmal is a god, and that most of the gods can bi- or tri- or multi-locate at will?
