The ambush began as soon as Damian ordered.
No war cries came from humans. Just pure, distilled violence erupting from the ridge above.
Twenty-four humans attacked one hundred Giants simultaneously, and for exactly three seconds, the element of surprise gave them an advantage.
Damian was the first to strike, his gun already drawn, Omega Point activated but carefully constrained to single-target shots instead of the area-wide devastation the technique was capable of producing.
'Can't use the full power. The sound and light would alert every other Giant patrol in this portal world. Have to keep it surgical, precise and quiet enough that we don't sign our own death warrants.'
BANG. BANG. BANG.
Three perfectly aimed shots, each one enhanced with concentrated Aura, each one punching through a Giant's helmet at the weak point where neck met jaw.
Three massive warriors dropped, dead before their bodies hit the ground.
