Isaac was already back on his feet, stumbling as he forced some space between him and Emma while the nanites of his Volkner Gauntlet spread across his body.
『Fuck it… even the failsafe is malfunction—!』
They crept like liquid metal as they morphed into the familiar armor plates of his Xenon Suit.
『DAMN IT!』
But the progress was sluggish.
His broken, bleeding fingers weren't helping—every throb made his focus scatter.
Emma didn't wait.
She shot forward like a bullet and mercilessly cut through the snowy air.
Isaac barely managed to conjure a nano-shield over his forearm before throwing himself sideways with a burst of force. Her impact cracked like thunder as her fist smashed into his guard and sent him tumbling across the ground.
He blinked at the shield.
It was barely hanging together and fractured like glass.
"Oh come on… (ꐦ ಠ皿ಠ )"
Isaac muttered under his breath.
But whining wasn't an option.
Emma was already on him again.
