KABANATA LXX

Third Person's POV

The Flinstone forces arrived with weapons and magical tools unlike anything everyone had ever witnessed. They moved with astonishing precision, their neutral warlocks powering every device.

Glowing bolts flew from enchanted crossbows, striking monsters and instantly disrupting their movements. Others hurled small pouches of powder that burst upon impact, releasing shimmering clouds that forced enemies into deep sleep.

For the first time in hours, Everly felt something dangerously close to hope.

Higit niyang pinilit ang sarili na manatiling nakatayo sa gitna ng kaguluhang kanina lamang ay muntik nang tuluyang gumiba sa natitirang pag-asa niya. Now, with Flinstone reinforcing their forces, determination slowly returned to her exhausted heart.

They had to fight. Hindi maaaring masayang ang lahat ng sakripisyong ginawa ng mga taong sumama sa kanya.

As the Flinstone warriors advanced, however, Ganesha's rampage continued to expand. The territory consumed by her uncontrolled power grew wider with every passing second, and even their allies were caught within the raging waves of dark energy. Flames and violent bursts of magic tore through the battlefield, forcing soldiers to scatter.

Everly watched the destruction with growing dread.

She could not allow Ganesha to continue. With the last reserves of strength she could gather, Everly called upon Eve.

"Help me."

The two prepared to confront Ganesha together. Yet the moment Everly launched herself forward, she felt her body betray her. Her muscles were trembling, her vision swimming, and every breath scraped painfully through her lungs.

Hours of fighting, countless wounds, and the relentless use of borrowed magic had finally pushed her beyond her limits.

Her knees gave out. Before she could strike the ground, strong arms caught her.

Greyson.

"No more," Everly gasped, barely able to keep her eyes open.

Hindi na nagdalawang-isip si Greyson. He immediately channeled his power into her weakened body, allowing his energy to stabilize the magic coursing through her veins.

Everly weakly pushed against him.

"Stop." Greyson shook his head.

"If you want this to end, let me help you. Just this once, please."

She wanted to reject him. Gusto niyang panindigan ang galit na matagal niyang inalagaan, but desperation had begun clouding her judgment. Then she looked toward Ganesha, still tearing through everything in her path.

She had no choice.

"Fine." Greyson immediately called upon the members of the Good Coven.

Enora, Laurine, Alameah, Corvina, and Nayen rushed toward them. One by one, they positioned themselves behind Everly and connected their magic to her body.

Their combined energy flowed into her like streams of light, reinforcing what remained of her strength.

Everly slowly raised her hands.
