Jack vs Heart (2/3)

The sky was illuminated red from the countless flaming projectiles hovering around the fiery heart. 

Master and pet gulped as they felt the boss lock right unto them. How?! They didn't fucking know! But, they could sense impending doom approaching as it resumed beating. 

— THUMP! THUMP! —

Following their master's command, a dozen projectiles flew their ways in arcs. But this time, it was different, and not just a small difference either. These things were freaking homing! 

"Oh crap, follow my lead!" Jack shouted as he fled as fast as he could. 

"Woo!" (Heroic!) 

But was it possible to outrun these projectiles? Nope. Could they be dodged? Not really either. The only solution was to block them.

Jack ran for the nearest stone pillar.
