3003 Ears of Menadion (Part 3)

A blue bolt of lightning was visible coursing under Maergron's armor as he used Flash Steps as well.

He blocked the short swords with one claw from each of his gauntlets, leaving Strider flabbergasted.

'I suspected Maergron would have trained using our abilities while waiting for us, but this is too much. I have years of experience and he's blinded. He's supposed to panic and flail his arms.

'How could he block my attack with such precision and why is he not using the rest of his claws?' With no answers to his questions, the Zouwu used the recoil from the block to alter the trajectory of his blades by twisting his torso and flicking his wrists.

At the same time, Ryka's and Unanna's Blinks opened and the two Awakened launched a sneak attack from Maergron's left at right side. The Redcap smirked, he needed no eyes as long as he had the Ears.

A flick of his fingers allowed him to stick one claw to the Zouwu's right blade and extend a second claw that pierced through Strider's defense and armor before he could react.

The claw was actually a stake that the propulsion system on the glove shot forward like an anti-tank bullet. It had been designed to impale the enemies and knock them back to buy time for its master.

While Strider was still recovering from the impact, a second claw struck his right cheek, opening a shallow cut.

Then, Maergron pivoted on the balls of his right foot, kicking Ryka in the chest with his left leg while the right arm moved in front of Unanna and shot all four claws. Even with six arms, the Naga was no match for the Zouwu-like speed.

Ryka was sent crashing against the wall behind the throne while Unanna blocked one claw, dodged another, and took the other two respectively in the shoulder and the stomach.

With the Darwen coating their amor cracked, the aura of the Awakened now seeped out along with their blood.

"Much better." The Redcap smiled and recalled the stakes stuck in the Naga's body, leaving gaping holes that bled profusely. "Who's next?"

Lith raised Ragnar?k while Xenagrosh charged Sky Piercer, both expecting Maergron to go in for the finishing strike and intercept him.

Instead, the Redcap remained still.

The Members of the Hand of Fate were dumbfounded as well but exploited his bizarre behavior to heal their wounds. Or at least, they tried.

Strider and Unanna fell to the ground in agony, having a hard time not letting go of their weapons as they doubled over, clutching their stomachs. Maergron pointed both his arms at the Zouwu, shooting the eight claws on his gauntlets from point-blank.

"No!" The Titania felt perfectly fine and reacted by instinct.

Instead of Blinking Strider to safety, she Blinked in front of him. It made much more sense to her since with her regenerative abilities those hits couldn't kill her and this way, she would get close to Maergron and draw his attention.

'Awakened only need one breath to recover and I can buy-' Her train of thought derailed as the claws dug into her body and inflicted her pain like she had never experienced.
