Myrades fared no better.


    They, too, were flung back, suffering more due to their lesser strengthpared to mine.


    Some were sprawled on the ground, coughing up blood, while others lost consciousness outright.


    Gale’s might, enhanced by the witches’ power she had absorbed, was astonishing.


    What could I do now?


    My hands balled into fists.


    Clearly, Gale was not about to spare me.


    She stared down at me, her hand poised, gathering her energy.


    With a mocking sneer, she motioned her hand.


    A force, fiercer than before, bore down on me like a storm.


    This power could surely end me.


    My eyes bulged.


    I was now badly hurt, unable to evade it in the slightest.


    Caleb’s POV:


    As Gale unleashed her attack, I braced myself for the end.


    “Watch out!”


    Out of nowhere, Carlos leaped in front, taking the brunt of Gale’s assault to shield me.


    Carlos faced the onught, but the witch power, absorbed by Gale, was overwhelming for Carlos to block her blow.


    He was sent flyi


    ng just like I had been, crashing to the ground, coughing up blood, unable to rise.


    “Carlos!”


    When I saw my friend knocked down and seriously hurt, anger shed through me.


    “Gale, your actions will be your undoing!”


    Rage consumed me; my eyes zed as Damien let out an enraged howl.


    “Ha-ha.


    ” Gale smirked scornfully at her, speaking with arrogance.


    “Caleb, I suggest you surrender now, or else you and your crew will face even greater suffering.


    If you do, perhaps I’ll allow a less painful end for you and your men.


    ”


    “Enough!” I cleared the blood from my mouth.


    “Spare us the talk.

    I refuse to believe someone as cruel as you will continue to escape justice.


    ”


    Gale’s demeanor shifted at my defiance.


    Annoyed, she hissed, “You’re testing my patience.


    I’ll ensure you regret it!”
