1.14 Slaughter Part 8

Guardian adopts a defensive stance as Gears flies off, Gord’Ang in gripped tightly in her left hand.

Careful. I recreated your body slightly earlier than I should have done. As result, you are weaker and more fragile than normal.

I’ll keep that in mind.

Aquiline is wearing a black leather full bodysuit and has a sword with a silver blade while Guardian has her armour and Gord’Ang.

That sword appears to be a molecular blade.

If he has been using it against Gears, it must be pretty worn down by now.

It is still dangerous to us even with our armour.

And we got a few new tricks up our sleeve. My past lives have taught me quite a bit.

“Oh £$&* you!” snarls Aquiline with a mixture of annoyance, angry and even a bit of fear, “You’re supposed to be dead! You died! I don’t believe you been lying low these last few months. That just isn’t you!”

“Is it so unbelievable that I can come back from the dead?” inquires Guardian as she strides forward.

The vigilante is controlling her armour with her power as being inside the machine gives her better processing and reflexes. Especially with her weaken physical state.

“No,” mutters Aquiline quietly, “Not when it comes to you. @#*&!”

Guardian dashes forward, her feet barely touching the ground as she uses her KEPs at low power to boost her speed. Aquiline is caught off guard, barely raising his own blade in time as Gord’Ang comes at him.

The silver blade is cut into two as the Linx blade tears through it, nicking Aquiline and leaving him a small gash on his upper arm. Already in motion, Guardian swings her right fist into the side of Aquiline, knocking backwards.

As the mass murder is knocked off his feet, Guardian sticks her foot against his chest and activates the KEPs in it. As the KEPs in the back of Guardian’s armour keep her steady, Aquiline is sent flying across the street.

He slams into a wall with a thud and collapses on the ground. Guardian is about to go for the kill when something slams into her. She grunts in pain as she loses her grip on Gord’Ang. As she tumbles through the air with whatever hit her, Guardian quickly grabs Gord’Ang out of the air and stabs the blade into the creature that hit her.

As Guardian roughly lands on her feet, the creature creates out an unnatural screech of pain. Guardian holds Gord’Ang with both hands as she takes in the massive beast standing before her.

The creature is a three metre tall bulky humanoid with muscular black and red skin. The body and legs are covered by dirty grey armour while the hands and feet are covered by metal plate gauntlets and boots respectively. Four curled black horns grow out of the hand, two on each side while the creature has four gold eyes and a pig-like nose.

It snorts at Guardian as it looks down at the gash in its side as it drips misty black acid. It glares at her, Guardian spots Aquiline uneasily getting to his feet.

“%$£&,” coughs Aquiline before looking at Guardian and the beast, “Well, it looks like you got your hands fall with one of Demonica’s Drenora. I wonder what deal she had to make to get this one. I’ll be seeing ya around Guardian darling. Toodles!”

Aquiline runs down the street and Guardian is itching to hunt him down and finish this once and for all. But she has to deal with the Drenora as Aquiline called it.

The Drenora roars it summons a large greatsword with a red blade and black hilt that it holds in one hand with ease. It charges at her, swiping the large blade at her. Guardian raises her right arm in front of her.

As the blade comes down on her, Guardian activates a trick that Ceta taught her in the cyber world. A heater shield made of green hardlight appears in front of Guardian’s right wrist. Using extremely advanced Deltaen technology, advanced enough that often got them mistaken for divinity, Guardian can convert data from the cyber world in the objects in the physical world.

As the red blade bounces away from the green shield, leaving only a small dent in it, Guardian slashes with Gord’Ang. The Drenora roars in anger as Guardian chops off the hand holding the broadsword, just at the point where the gauntlet ends.

Guardian jumps back, pulling the hardlight shield closer so it is floating only an inch away from her right wrist. As the Drenora also backs up, Guardian jumps forward and boosts herself to the side by firing the KEPs.

As she flies over the shoulder of the Drenora, Guardian hacks off its other arm at the shoulder. She spins around as her feet touch the ground. Before the Drenora can finish roaring in rage, Guardian stabs through its chest.

Guardian is careful to avoid the acid that is burning through the street as she pulls Gord’Ang out. But rather than die, the Drenora whips itself around before Guardian can finish removing Gord’Ang from its body.

The sudden movement yanks Gord’Ang out of Guardian’s grip and she stumbles. Guardian braces herself as the Drenora charges at her, its horned head pointed at her. She sticks her green hardlight shield in front of her and staggers as the Drenora slams into it.

Before the stunned Drenora can recover, Guardian summons Gord’Ang back to her hand and stabs the Drenora in the forehead.

As the Drenora goes limp, Guardian yanks Gord’Ang out. Before it can hit the ground, the body of the Drenora disappears into black mist.

Guardian returns her hardlight shield back to the cyber world before taking off into the air.

Who needs my help next?

Defender needs our help.
