Bab 212: Chapter 212 - Ransom

I lifted my gun, fired off another round. The humans were falling so much faster than the Directs. But there were so many more humans than anything else out here.

Nix slashed her sword over another throat, inhaled the motes that sprang into the air from it. She stepped forward, using the dissolving body of her enemy as a jump point to decapitate another Direct.

Lady had some fucking moves.

"Ransom, behind you," Scarlet shouted in my head. I whirled around, blocked a sword with my bare forearm. Shifting the pain aside, I lifted my other hand and fired point-blank into the Direct's face. The magic from Kord's bullets was working wonders.

I grabbed the sword as it started to fall to the ground. My bokken skills weren't top drawer, but it was better than trying to defend with my hands. I took a few testing swings and turned back to figure out where Nix went.

She was busy slicing through another Direct.
