Reviewing The Rewards - Part 1

The entrapment didn't even come close to success. If anything, the attempt at a trap had only made Vol's alarm bells ring all the more acutely. It forced him to acknowledge her as more than a warrior – it made him acknowledge her as a problem.

The spear missed him, as he used his bracers to send him off to the side. His counterattack was instantaneous. Even if he knew that he should have saved her, good-looking woman that she was, quality slave that she would no doubt be, his warrior instincts had already kicked in. No, it was beyond warrior instincts, it was a revulsion that few shared except from Vol. His giant axe crashed through her shoulder, and ran towards her spine, only slowing once it had cracked it.
