Chapter 386: The Sky’s Collapse

The words slipped out as a fragile whisper, but they carried the weight of a lifelong promise. Jessica clenched her fists, the memory of that rainy night in Queens giving her battered body the strength to stand back up. Her sudden, defiant action drew Nadia’s attention. She paused her gruesome meal, raising an elegant eyebrow at the mortal.
"You heard me?! I am not useless!!"
She walked with heavy, deliberate steps towards the enchanted iron cage, pulling her leg back, and sent a vicious kick directly into the thickest bar:
BAM!!!
A violent arc of blue electric current instantly discharged from the cage, striking her leg with the force of a sledgehammer as she forcefully pulled it back. Jessica gritted her teeth, the sharp smell of ozone filling the air. Her leg was visibly trembling from the severe neurological shock, but her eyes burned with an unbroken, manic fire.
"I won’t be useless!!" She pulled all her remaining physical strength, drawing on years of brutal Military training, and sent the second kick.
BAM!!
The barrier violently shocked her again, the feedback rattling her bones; Jessica exhaled a shaky, pained breath, and sent the third kick.
BAM!!
