Chapter 13: Wrath Unleashed
Shaw—no, Wrath—charged like a storm.
His fists, each larger than a man's head, slammed into the ground, tearing the earth open. Captain Elara leapt back, wind magic pushing her to safety just in time.
But she was tired.
Sweat dripped from her brow, her mana flaring erratically as she cycled through spells just to keep up with his brute power.
BOOM!
A fireball hit Wrath's chest—no effect.
CRASH!
A wind blade sliced his cheek—he didn't flinch.
"How is he still moving after all that…?" Elara muttered, breathless.
From the sidelines, Ursa clenched her jaw. "Captain—!"
She launched forward, creating an earth golem suit around her, ready to shield Elara.
But—CLANG!
Her blade was blocked.
Kalea-Envy back to the battlefield
Kalea stood in her way, bruised but determined. "I envy you, Ursa… You'd die for your Captain without hesitation, huh?"
Ursa growled, "Get out of my way, Kalea!"
Kalea smiled sadly, "That's exactly why I won't let you. I don't want this fight to end yet… not if I have to retreat without proving myself."
Ursa's golem gauntlet clashed against Kalea's blade—again and again.
Meanwhile, just a little away—
Meth lay on the ground, panting beside Aloy, her mud magic completely drained.
"I thought that guy Bob was gonna eat us alive…" Meth wheezed.
"Thank the heavens he got bored," Aloy groaned, leaning against a broken tree. "I can't move anything but my mouth."
They both looked toward Elara's battlefield.
A monster in the shape of a man, and their Captain barely hanging on.
Then—
WHOOSH!
A shadow blurred in from behind Wrath. A spear of darkness clashed against his back.
Wrath turned—Dred was there, armored in hardened rock and mana drills swirling.
Next to him, a figure dashed in, slashing at Wrath's side.
Synoh, eyes glowing with dark mana, wrapped in bandages, his body still weakened but burning with purpose.
"You rest later, Captain!" Synoh shouted. "Right now, let us fight too!"
Elara's eyes widened. "You two—!"
Dred smirked, "We're Division 10, remember? Don't count us out yet."
Wrath roared furiously, slamming a punch down—only for Elara, Synoh, and Dred to triple-block it, the ground beneath them exploding from the pressure.
