Ryder's voice echoing confidently through the clearing. One of his illusions smirked, taunting, "You're weak. Without your precious walls, let's see how long you can survive."
The real Ryder stepped forward, flanked by Amara and Bella. The intensity in Bella's eyes sharpened as she caught sight of Nate's battered body. Fury surged through her, and with a single gesture, the ground began to tremble. Rocks, branches, and debris rose into the air around her, forming a swirling barrier of destruction.
The man growled, lightning sparking around him as he prepared to retaliate. But Bella struck first. With a powerful sweep of her hand, she hurled everything she had gathered at him. The projectiles hit their mark, battering the man relentlessly. He tried to dodge, but the sheer volume of attacks overwhelmed him. Blood spurted from his mouth as he stumbled, his confidence waning.
"Madison, now!" Ryder shouted.
