Spells flew at Adrian. He couldn't dodge them—he had to stop them.
This wasn't just a fight. He was protecting someone. He couldn't let a single spell hit the house.
Ptah!
He fired a spell-breaking bullet at the nearest Acolyte, then swung his axe. A slash of water burst out, tearing across the man's chest.
"GAAAHH!" The scream was cut short as Adrian teleported above him and slammed the back of his axe down.
THUMP
CRACK
The man's skull split. Blood streamed from his ears as he collapsed, dead.
"Surround him!" one of the Acolytes shouted.
Adrian caught sight of vines creeping toward him. He flipped in mid-air, lined up his shot, and fired another bullet.
KRIUK!
Flames burst on impact, burning the vines to ash.
But Adrian had miscalculated.
"Got ya!"
An Acolyte appeared behind him mid-air, seizing his arms.
Adrian gritted his teeth—then the man exploded.
BOOOOM!
The blast shook the air. A charred body crashed to the ground.
Only one.
SQUELCH
