Chương 902: Chapter 118: Battle for the Stone Circle

*Jared*

As bodies dropped around her, Hestia stood taller and stronger. She sneered, taking a step toward me. I noticed how her legs still trembled as she walked.

Even with all the new energy she’d sucked out, she was weaker than I thought, too weak to be a real threat.

“Argh!”

I leaped at Hestia, tackling her at the waist and knocking her down.

“Get off of me!” she groaned, rolling back and forth.

“I’m not going to let you hurt anyone else.”

Hestia thrust her arms into my chest. Her magic knocked me back.

I landed hard on my back against the stone, sharp pain shooting through my back and my spine. For a moment, I lay perfectly still, trying to let the pain subside.

Hestia’s body might have been weak, but she still had some magic. Was that what she was sucking energy up for, to do magic?

I sat up, glaring at her.

Hestia was partially hunched over. She looked pale and wrinkled again. One spell had taken a lot out of her. I could work that to my advantage.
