Round 132

The ritual chamber's containment field shudders, symbols dying across the walls like embers consumed by wind. Jeane staggers, her tall succubus frame fighting to maintain structure as magic leaks out in visible tendrils that snap and writhe against their bonds. The floor crack widens further, something dark and hungry pushing up from below.

Halie enters, holy water gripped tight—its light pulses with desperate energy. Her eyes widen at the sight of Jeane barely standing, exhaustion carved into every line of her body. The air between them crackles with unstable power, the binding spell weakening with each passing second.

Neither woman moves to break the tension. The room itself seems to hold its breath, waiting for a decision that could shatter everything or simply… end it all.
