The weight of the situation settled heavily in Anorah's chest. With the Will Guard involved, it was only a matter of time before they reached Atticus.
The light surrounding the abyss god's blade suddenly swelled, expanding violently before crashing down toward her.
Anorah tightened her grip and surged forward, meeting the strike with a thrust driven by everything she could muster.
The collision erupted into blinding light, swallowing her vision as violent vibrations tore through her arms, then her body and will, lifting her from the ground.
A crushing wave struck her a second later, hurling her back first through the terrain. Her thoughts spiraled as her body skipped violently across the earth before finally coming to a halt just short of the cliff's edge.
Pain flared from every part of her body, but Anorah bit down hard, forcing herself to rise despite the blood filling her mouth.
'I… I have to hold on until he wakes up.'
