Ayla Makes Her Move

The explosion from the bullets gave Lex enough time to dodge the Mutated Hivefiend's creepy talons again, but after doing this for a while, he faltered and sliced his thigh because he was too slow.

While ignoring his growing wounds, he continued shooting and killing a few monsters. Lex started to run, and when the other creatures saw this, they started chasing him while mana bullets connected with them.

He ran through the forest while jumping off logs and branches. The Mutated Hivefiends closed the gap in no time. Lex came to a stop with a skid and charged the Gearhearts until they were full.

With a grin, he fired hundreds of times, causing a small nuclear explosion to appear nearby, which sent him and Nephthys flying for miles.

Lex crashed through trees and came crashing down while landing next to a swamp in a daze at the base of a large mountain looming over the landscape. He tried to stand up, but his legs were weak.
