22.7 Sacrifice

Pulling the trigger, the bolt hit squarely on his stomach, piercing his armor and sticking out of his stomach like something that you'd see in a traffic accident.

"Urgghh..."

This was it! Taking advantage of the opportunity, I quickly spun the Feuermischung away from the gauntlet and back towards it, fully intent on maiming him while he was still-

"Excellent!"

What-

*BOOM!*

The earth beneath me suddenly felt like liquid as the ground quaked with the force of a major earthquake. I almost fell to the ground as I struggled to keep balance, forcing me to abandon my attack in favor of using my sword as a stabilizer to I ride out the ensuing quake. My eyes widened as his right foot seemed to glow with the telltale blue hum of Wesen, the ground seemingly swallowing the limb whole as it rippled around it like he was in a puddle.

What the hell?!
