Chapter 556: Sweet Memories

"5000 good points deducted!"

A violent wind suddenly roared from the sides of the cliff, stronger than any natural storm, screaming as if the very earth itself had risen to obey her. The figure struggled, twisting and clawing at the void, but the invisible force surged, dragging it back.

Nnenna felt the edges beneath her hands splintering under the strain and the strong wind, her muscles screaming with every second she held herself up. The sharp sting of fatigue blurred with adrenaline, fear, and determination all at once.

Arthur’s eyes widened, disbelief and panic mingling in his gaze. "What is happening?!"

Somto’s jaw clenched, his mind racing to process what he saw. That wind... that force... it’s not natural. She’s doing this. He opened his mouth, about to say something, but his words froze as Nnenna’s hand slipped slightly.

Panic surged through him like fire, all strategic thought washed away by fear. "Hold on! Don’t... don’t let go!"

The cliffside groaned beneath the combined weight and the force coming from the sides of the earth, as Nnenna’s pulse raced. Her arms burned, her grip trembled, but she steeled herself. This is it. No turning back. For them, for me.

The figure shrieked, dark energy flaring wildly, but it was no match. The wind ripped it backward, finally carrying it off the cliff as Nnenna’s trembling arms held fast, her determination an unbreakable anchor.

Arthur and Somto were breathing hard, sweat dripping, hearts pounding, but the moment their eyes met hers, relief and awe washed over them. For a fleeting heartbeat, the terror of the cliff, the pain, the uncertainty, all of it fused into a single, breathtaking sense of wonder.

Nnenna barely allowed herself to exhale, her hands trembling violently from the strain. Her body screamed in protest.

Even with the figure gone, Nnenna’s fingers clawed at the jagged edge of the cliff, trembling as the rock threatened to give way beneath her. Her arms screamed with exhaustion.
