Chapter 211: Only One Will Remain
Adeline took a deep breath, her voice steady but filled with venom. "Do not let anyone here escape alive."
"As you wish," he said simply, his tone as cold as the frost gathering around his hands.
The men charged, their war cries echoing through the forest. Adeline and Cassian moved in unison, their years of training and innate abilities taking over.
Adeline raised her hands, electricity sparking between her fingers. With a fierce cry, she unleashed a torrent of lightning, striking down the first wave of attackers. The air crackled and hummed with energy as her power surged, illuminating the clearing in flashes of blinding light.
Cassian, meanwhile, worked methodically. He summoned a blizzard of ice shards, sending them hurtling toward their enemies with deadly precision.
The attackers fought back, their weapons releasing bursts of heat and energy designed to counter their powers. Adeline gritted her teeth as she dodged a fiery blast, retaliating with a bolt of lightning that sent her assailant sprawling.
Cassian stayed close to her, his eyes constantly scanning for threats. He moved like a shadow, his icy attacks swift and unrelenting.
The fight was brutal and unyielding. The attackers’ numbers seemed endless, but Adeline and Cassian refused to back down.
The battle seemed endless, and Adeline could feel the weight of exhaustion bearing down on her. She had been fighting for what felt like hours, her lightning crackling as she sent surge after surge to stun the assassins who swarmed them.
