KABANATA LXXIX
Third Person's POV
The battlefield had finally fallen into an eerie silence. Ang dating magulong himpapawid ay unti-unting luminaw, leaving faint particles of magic drifting downward like golden snow.
Everly remained in the middle of the devastation, her chest heaving as exhaustion consumed every muscle in her body. Masakit ang bawat bahagi ng kanyang katawan, ngunit wala siyang panahon upang magpahinga.
Hindi pa man tuluyang nakakabawi sa sinalong atake ay muling nagpakawala si Everly ng kapangyarihan upang saluhin ang panibagong bugso ni Ufara.
The collision erupted with a thunderous roar, sending a violent tremor through the ground. Several creatures nearby were thrown off balance, while enormous trees in the distance snapped and crashed beneath the pressure.
The battle escalated without mercy. They continued hurling devastating attacks at one another, each collision tearing another scar into the already ruined landscape.
Everly's limbs trembled violently, her breathing becoming sharper as her vision blurred around the edges. Still, she refused to retreat. Ayaw niyang hayaang manaig si Ufara habang may natitira pa siyang kahit kaunting lakas.
Ngunit ramdam na niya ang tuluyang pagkaubos ng kanyang enerhiya. Mahigpit niyang kinuyom ang mga palad at pinilit na itayo ang sarili, kahit halos hindi na siya makatayo nang maayos. She barely raised her defenses before Ufara unleashed another crushing strike.
The impact drove Everly onto her knees. Blood spilled from the corner of her lips as she clutched her chest, struggling to breathe. Unti-unting dumilim ang kanyang paningin, at tila ayaw nang sumunod ng kanyang katawan.
"Everly!" A familiar voice cut through the ringing in her ears.
Greyson suddenly rushed forward, intercepting Ufara's next attack with his own magic. The force sent him skidding backward, but he planted his feet and refused to fall. Sa likuran niya ay mabilis na nagtipon sina Enora, Laurine, Nayen, Alameah, Corvina, at Zevian, their combined power gathering into a brilliant wave.
"Now!" Greyson shouted.
They released everything they had. A blinding cascade of magic surged toward Ufara, but the demon only sneered. With effortless precision, she deflected their combined assault, then retaliated with a violent blast that sent the entire group crashing onto the earth.
Napapikit si Everly sa matinding pag-aalala. Sa kabila ng kanilang pagsisikap ay hindi pa rin sapat ang lakas nila upang pigilan ang kalaban. She pressed one trembling hand against the dirt and forced herself upward once more.
Muling nagbanggaan ang kanyang kapangyarihan at ang dark magic ni Ufara. One hand radiated white light while the other remained pressed against the ground, supporting her weakening body. Ramdam niyang unti-unting dumudulas palayo ang natitira niyang enerhiya.
Just as Ufara's darkness began forcing her magic backward, another presence emerged beside her.
A surge of abyssal energy suddenly filled the battlefield. Everly looked upward and froze when she met the piercing eyes of Lukariah.
Without hesitation, Lukariah extended her hand. Her dark power flowed toward Everly, merging with the remnants of her white magic. Sa halip na magbanggaan, ang dalawang magkasalungat na enerhiya ay naghalo, forming a violent spiral of light and darkness.
