Chapter Ten

“Here it goes,” I whispered to myself as I initiated the rune on my prot-belt.

A small portal popped into existence in the street beside me, and two void serpents slithered out. They paused to look up at me as though awaiting my commands, and I gave them instructions to disrupt the Dax warriors around the corner from me.

The serpents wiggled around the corner, and I heard the Dax shout a second before I heard swords leave their scabbards.

My gut wrenched as my serpents died, but then my visor displayed a readout that boosted my confidence.

Allied Vengeance buff 20%. Time remaining: 30 minutes.

Suddenly, the Dax ran out into the street and scattered in multiple directions. They knew they’d been found, but instead of attacking me, they were running away.

“Shit,” I hissed.

They were either cowards, or committed to seeing their mission through. Either way, I would stop them. I just needed to hunt them all down individually.

I scanned the scattering Dax and tried to decide my next move. I could only go after one enemy at a time, and I had to choose quickly.

“You’re the one,” I said as my eyes focused on the biggest looking Dax in the group. Then I took chase after him as he headed in the direction of the market center.

I keyed a button on my belt to send Commander Reynolds my location, and then I focused on my hunt. I hoped the other knights had managed to evacuate the majority of the outer limits so there would be less chance of civilian casualties, but I knew better than to get my hopes up. With our communications down, it was going to be really hard to organize any sort of search or resistance against the Daxs’ plans.

Shit was about to get violent.

I was gaining ground, but the Dax had almost reached the next intersection, so I watched closely to see what he would do, and his long flowing red robe flapped around his legs as he skidded to a halt and looked back at me.

Good. It looked like he was stopping to fight.

I grabbed my Lightning hammer and slammed the end onto the pavement to summon a lightning sprite. A portal bloomed into existence, and I immediately fed its magic to my nanorunes and split it into two rifts. An instant later, two sprites emerged and charged toward my opponent as the few people on the street screamed and scattered.

I joined my sprites in the chase, but by the time I reached the Dax, they were both dead. With how quickly my summons were being eliminated by these warriors, they had to at least be initiates if they weren’t all Star Spears, and I barely had time to register the flashing number on my visor readout before I brought my hammer up into a swing.

Allied Vengeance buff 40%.

My swing landed hard against the Dax’s upraised sword, and I noticed my target’s arm shaking from the effort of holding off the blow. The strength with which he held me back was amazing, and I knew he had to be a Star Spear.
