’Fucking... finally...’
A sharp gasp threw Mark into a coughing fit. Unbeknownst to him, had been holding his breath the entire time, forcing his body to move despite the harrowing actions he had to take.
He looked down at his hands and saw the red painting them and felt its warmth slowly dissipate into the air. His eyes shifted and he caught sight of the tool he had used to draw out the crimson essence.
A small knife with a modern design. Its surface should’ve been dark gray yet it was covered in a thick layer of red, but that didn’t seem to suppress the faint glow enveloping its blade. Staring at it caused a System screen to appear. Mark pressed A on the "Yes" option and sent the item back to his inventory.
CFBW type 01 (+3). It was the same as the basic weapons one gets from the starter pack at the very beginning of Maids VS Apocalypse, though it was a knife, unlike Lara’s spear. Mark had bought earlier and even enhanced it with a +1 Pierce, +1 Sharpness, and +1 Durability enchantment scrolls. It was a precautionary measure in case his guns were unusable but came in handy right away.
’... I... I think I get it now....’
Ramsay had told him that most Awakened relied on close quarter weapons when fighting because they allow one to make use of their Force Field. The explanation seemed logical at the time, but only after experiencing it himself did Mark understand what it’s really like.
