Chapter 45: Killing
A few laser bolts hit Charon in the chest, throwing him back into the mud.
His eyes widened, but he felt no pain. Madly grabbing at his chest, sure he would feel the burning holes, his brow furrowed as he only felt smooth cloth and the hard chains.
A word rang out in his mind.
’Resolve.’
He mentally activated the holo-pad and brought up his summons’ second ability, having forgotten it existed.
[Ability Name: Warden’s Resolve]
[Ability Element: Soul]
[Ability Description: At the dawn of time, one word was spoken across the cursed shore of the Acheron. That word took form, becoming something sentient. Something burdened with one eternal purpose. For eons, it has stood, waiting, watching, and fighting to deliver on the promise it never knew it made. Then, coming from the same sky it had forever toiled beneath, a new word was spoken, and a new command was given. As it has always been, and forever shall be, the Warden obeys.]
Charon’s jaw dropped as he realized what the ability meant; far greater defense.
’The Warden never stopped in his mission, so when I’m wearing him, I can’t be stopped either.’
The wheels in his head turned as he came to terms with what it meant, especially during the battle.
’I can’t be hurt, at least not by laser guns...’
