Stranded

"Rua!" As the soldier activated to runes on his shield, I took a peek at the radar. I wanted to make sure no hidden movement was around me; even though I was surrounded by corpses, I still couldn't lower my guard; if another one of these monsters was lurking around, that would've been the end of me.

In the meantime, I raised the machine gun and began shooting at the warrior; this time instead of making projectiles rain down on his body, I decided to charge up larger and more powerful mana projectiles, completely forgetting about the mana storm.

The projectiles almost exploded on my face, so I quickly canceled the order and turned my head to check what the warrior was doing.

He had fallen on his knees, unable to fight anymore, gasping for fresh air while desperately holding his large shield over his head. It seems his body had finally reached its limit; the constant abuse had finally brought in the consequences.
