Chapter 53: The Second Fragment (2)

Masamune watched as Charlotte quickly conversed with the 3 pointy eared blue humans, waiting for her next move. The gigantic being that towered over everything else stood unwavering, his dual shields in his arms.

She didn't know why, but there was an irrational hatred towards the fragment, Atyx. As if there was a nagging at the back of her mind...

Charlotte suddenly shot forward, with her right along, dispersing the thought from her mind. There was a big target in front, and she was hungry for some more golden Ichor.

She expected to cut right through the shields and get into the soft, juicy meats but was disappointed when she ricocheted right off, a golden rune glowing at the impact sight. 

Charlotte murmured something she couldn't hear, and continued trying to hack her way past. A golden rune appeared whenever she attempted to swing, bouncing Masamune right off. Charlotte even tried to switch sides as she darted around the gigantic shields, but Atyx moved one of his shields to block her attempts while keeping the other one in place to defend against the barrages of projectiles shot from the Elves.

Suddenly, the fragment slammed his shields into the ground, causing Charlotte to tumble straight into the sands as the entire world shook.
