Chapter 114: Carnage

It was carnage. Pure and total carnage. Alessa couldn't think of another word to describe it.

It had been hours since their test run with the Stuck attack, but still the ground was sodden with something Alessa didn't want to think about, something that left a red-brown tinge around the edge of her boots. She tried not to look too closely at the forest floor; the last time she'd let her eyes focus, they'd landed on a stray limb.

But she didn't need her eyes to tell her what had transpired here. She could feel it.

Confusion. Terror. Pain.

Death.

She could feel each one of the soldiers' ends, relive their last moments. The crushing anguish. The throbbing fear. The unbearable physical agony.

The Stuck had performed, all right, had barely even taken any losses. And against this unified, murderous horde, the company of Paragon's fighters never stood a chance.

But all Alessa could feel was remorse.
