I pushed harder and sent it traveling off in branches along the ground, targeting only thePuritasmembers, making them slip and slide, lose their balance, making them vulnerable to the volunteers who were able to take them out easier.
I then thrust my palms forward and had the frost erupt from the ground, smashing into opponents too.
“Impressive shit,” Nyx breathed.
In the next moment, he ruffled my hair, then used his shadow travel to weave through the battlefield inconspicuously, then called on his sorcerer side and fired at the enemy with his blue power as he popped up every couple of seconds.
Kai erected a shield over Ariana and Cornelius.
Then he teleported into the fray where the Celestial aspect of the battle was raging, Guardians firing back at the enemy with Bastion Gauntlets as all the existing stolen Celestial magic was being deployed now by the enemy—five fucking hundred of them in total using it. Three quarters of that was being streamed at Vorzyr, who was holding it at bay and then gradually pushing it back with his special ability.
I could see from the way the hits were being taken and absorbed by the Bastion Gauntlets that not all the power being used was as potent as what had hit Cornelius. Thank goodness for small mercies.
I watched as Kai smashed his hands together and sent out a shockwave of his power that targeted the enemy Celestial-wielders and ripped them off their feet.
From across the battlefield, the Guardian members who were vampires sped over and knocked them out with several rapid-fire bursts.
I spun into an attack from two sorcerers, ducking as they fired at me, then sweeping my shadows at them to destabilize them, before I then knocked them out with two quick shots of my purple power.
Notice had been taken of my power cutting through the battlefield so profoundly, and two dozen others started encircling me.
Gregor was roaring, then firing into the battlefield with his staff that had the peach orb atop that Sylas had told us had Celestial power imbued in it too.
While Kai, Vorzyr, and the Guardians with the Bastion Gauntlets were busy dealing with the other Celestial-wielders ofPuritas,they couldn’t block Gregor’s assault as well, and it cut a path through the volunteers, Nyx, and Warlow, having everyone diving out of the way.
I took some hits from those surrounding me, blasting me back. Even as I conjured a shield, the hits pounded on it painfully.
Hell.
A rush of power tore through the area.
In the next second, wind whipped around me, and then I was snagged and rushed out of the circle surrounding me.
When it came to a stop, I looked to see Rhyza Thaine there along with Jaxon Silver and Mia Snow, one of Ariana’s fathers and her mom.
And Lazriel’s mom.
“Your loves contacted us,” Rhyza told me.
Oh my God.
Cassius had obviously reached out to Sylas and Lazriel and told them of the situation, and Lazriel had communicated with his mom who had got word to Jaxon and he’d brought Mia, one hell of a powerful sorceress and a Celestial being herself.
I had to blink away the sweet emotion threatening to take me over.
“Are you well?” Mia asked me kindly.
“Yeah. Just some superficial hits that are already healing.”
“Let’s keep it that way, yes?”
I nodded. “Yeah.”
“Ryker and Lucian are moving out to assist Lazriel and Sylas,” Jaxon told me.
“And the badass love of my life and bane of my existence in equal measure is also keeping them well,” Rhyza said, getting that a reminder through all of this was exactly what was needed right now.
“Thank you,” I told her.
