SWNOVELS Chapter 16: “Barrage”
Meanwhile, Nico and Eden are tasked with sabotaging one of the organization’s main supply lines. They have to work quickly and quietly to avoid detection, but they are able to cause significant damage to the enemy’s operations. However, their success is short-lived, as they soon find themselves under attack by a squad of heavily armed operatives. They prepare for battle quickly.
Eden stood ready, her eyes glowing with an ominous light as she summoned her dark magic. The sound of approaching footsteps grew louder, and they knew they didn’t have much time. Suddenly, the door burst open, and a group of guards rushed in, weapons at the ready. Nico looked up, determination etched on his face. Eden stood firm, her hands already crackling with dark energy.The guards hesitated for a moment, taken aback by Eden’s dark aura. But they quickly regained their composure and advanced towards the pair. Nico grabbed a nearby chair and swung it at the nearest guard, knocking him off balance. Eden took advantage of the opening, unleashing a wave of dark energy that sent the other guards flying but they were quickly surrounded, and the guards closed in on them with fierce determination. Nico pulled out a small gadget from his backpack and activated it, causing a blinding flash of light that temporarily stunned the guards. Eden took the opportunity to charge forward, using her healing powers to restore Nico’s energy as he continued to fight off the guards.
The battle was intense, with the sound of clashing weapons and grunts of exertion filling the air. But Nico and Eden were determined to hold their ground, refusing to back down in the face of danger. Together, they fought with a ferocity that left the guards reeling.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the last guard fell to the ground, defeated. Nico and Eden stood, panting and covered in sweat, but victorious. They exchanged a quick glance, acknowledging the unspoken bond that had formed between them during the battle. They knew that whatever came their way, they would face it together.
