Chapter 121: Clash with the Enforcer
The enforcer's armor glowed faintly, humming with energy as it stepped forward, each movement deliberate and heavy. The four soldiers flanking him raised their weapons, barrels glowing with a blue charge.
Raizen's grip on his Crimson Fang Energy Blade tightened. This was going to be a fight.
Kain clicked his rifle's scope into place. "Took their time sending in the big guns."
Joran cracked his knuckles. "I was starting to get bored."
The enforcer's helmeted gaze locked onto Raizen. "Target confirmed. Eliminate them."
With a sudden motion, the guards opened fire, plasma rounds streaking through the air.
The Battle Begins
Raizen dashed forward, his Draconic Aura flaring as he twisted around the first barrage. His blade ignited in a sweep, cutting down the first guard before he had a chance to react.
Joran charged another, grappling him into the wall, armor clashing against steel as they struggled. Kain fired precise shots, taking down one of the soldiers with a well-placed headshot.
But the enforcer barely flinched. Then, he moved.
Raizen barely had time to react before the armored warrior closed the distance in an instant, a titanic fist smashing into his ribs. He was launched backward, crashing against the vault wall with a grunt.
Selara grimaced. "Yeah, that thing's got some serious upgrades."
Raizen shook off the impact, standing with a smirk. He was just getting started.
Testing Limits
The enforcer swung again, but this time Raizen sidestepped, his blade slicing across the armor's plating. Sparks flew, but the metal held firm.
Liana's voice crackled in the comms. "That thing's got adaptive shielding—you'll need to overload it."
Raizen exhaled. "Then we break it."
Seraphina raised her hands, her energy flaring as violet flames coiled around her fingers. With a flick of her wrist, a blast of force slammed into the enforcer's chest, staggering him for a moment.
Joran saw the opening. "Now!"
Raizen and Selara struck in unison. His blade clashed against the enforcer's side, while Selara's energy knife pierced between the armor's joints.
The enforcer let out a metallic growl, stumbling back as cracks spread across his shielding.
Kain smirked. "Time to finish this."
Raizen charged one last time, his golden eyes glowing with Draconic fire as he drove his blade into the enforcer's core. The energy field shattered as the impact sent the massive figure collapsing to the ground.
For a moment, the room was silent.
Then Liana's voice broke in. "You need to move—now. Reinforcements inbound!"
Raizen stepped over the fallen enforcer, retrieving his blade as he turned to the others. "Let's get out of here."
The vault raid was complete. But the fight to escape? It had just begun.
