Capítulo 113: Chapter 113: Conflict

I was already moving, leaping for Trill with my power and my body, even as the blood maji lurched to her feet and toward a dark tunnel reminiscent of the traveling ports sorcerers used. She'd corrupted her blood magic with sorcery so I wasn't surprised by her mode of travel, but there was no way in hell she was going to escape me, not that way.

Not ever.

The only thing I didn't count on was the fact she had help. I was so focused on capturing Trill, my demon roaring her fury, I failed to remember the blood maji wasn't alone. And, though her power was nothing compared to mine, Nona mustered enough energy, thrown directly in my face, I paused. Just a heartbeat, to clear the clinging, desperate net away, wiping at it like an unexpected cobweb in the dark with a spluttering shout. Long enough for Trill to disappear through the portal and vanish as it collapsed behind her.
