Chapter 121: Shattered and Broken
"We cannot use wide area magic." Mimi whispered her voice breaking as she stared at Hannah's pale bleeding form trapped just out of reach.
"This cave is far too cramped. Any large spell or flame risks striking her alongside the cultists. We have no safe way to break through not without hurting her more."
Tears blurred her vision and her water magic wavered at her fingertips helpless and restrained.
She could shield allies douse small flames and trap stray threats but she could not breach the barrier nor cut through the dark corruption draining Hannah's life away.
Hope frayed thin for the rescue team trapped on the outside powerless to reach the person they had fought so hard to find.
Heavy steady footsteps echoed through the tunnel entrance soon after cutting through the thick tense air of the cave.
