章 550: Kill switch [1/2]

"As you can see. Much like the {Fates} of the Sirens and myself, there is an inherent difference between the Formless {Fates} and the manifested ones. And that is the ability to be applied without restrictions."

"Restrictions?" Joshua asked. 

"Yes. One thing I have learned is that {Fates} are malleable. My own {Fate} is malleable in a different sense, but let us use the {Fates} of my {Kindred}. Freyja's {Fate} is {Withstand}. It is normally cast to make her body resistant to blunt trauma."

I then drew Ebony and fired at Joshua's target. The .45 ACP made a hole, but it wasn't much. I ejected the magazine and pulled out a round.

"{Withstand}."

With the {fate} enhanced bullet, I pulled Ebony's slide back and chambered the round. I pressed the slide return and the gun closed. Aiming back at the target, I pulled back the hammer and fired.
