Chapter 46: Please, don't kill us

I couldn't fathom what they wanted from me, but I needed to stay calm. Raven's whereabouts were still unknown, and I had no idea if she was safe. For now, I needed to deal with them.

With a swift motion, my fire magic surged from within me, easily shattering the magical prison that held me captive. The others were shocked by my sudden burst of power. Seizing the opportunity, I lunged toward them.

Amelia reacted swiftly, attempting to shoot a light arrow at me. I deflected it with a flick of my hand and delivered a punch that sent her reeling, spitting blood. It felt oddly satisfying to strike back. She crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

Turning my attention to Raven's parents, I saw them attempting to flee. I caught up to them in the blink of an eye. They activated a magical barrier to shield themselves, but with a single punch, I shattered it.
