Shhhhick! Shhhung!
Shrapnel, reminiscent of shotgun rounds, dissipated in front of us, leaving ripples of light as if they had fallen into an invisible pond.
That’s the power of an Awakened. Without it, King and I would’ve been torn apart, left in bloody shreds among the debris.
The fragments absorbed by the reflective field were redirected, hurtling back toward the monster through small dimensional rifts connected to the field. This is the core effect of the reflective field—it reflects.
The exit rifts for these fragments appear within the reflective field''s maximum range. Thus, it’s impossible to create an infinite loop of reflected projectiles.
The torrent of fragments bombarded the monster''s head, where its barrel-like aperture was located. Grayish-white flesh was ripped and shredded, but that was all.
The small shrapnel, effective against soft targets like humans, couldn’t inflict significant damage on the monster. It left only scratches before the rift opposite the reflective field closed rapidly.
Even as this occurred, we continued advancing.
Step by step.
The distance remained at 70 meters. We could close the gap with a sprint, but the Annihilator type could fire unpredictably in rapid succession.
“Skelton, shouldn’t we run?” King asked.
Sure enough, a strange ripple shimmered near the Annihilator''s barrel.
The second wave.
“Here it comes!”
At 50 meters, dodging bullets isn’t just about their speed; it’s also because they’re hard to perceive with the human eye.
But this monster’s shrapnel was different.
Though slower than gunpowder-based weapons, I only needed to track the medium and large fragments that stood out visually. The smaller ones weren’t worth worrying about.
Thud!
With another shockwave, the Annihilator spewed its grayish-white shrapnel in all directions.
As the fragments spread, I spotted a large, angular piece flying toward us with a sinister gleam.
“Evade!”
I threw myself to the side, diving toward the flank.
