Ascendant: Struggle

Zai, a soldier, and her squad live a life of brutal hit-and-run operations and training the people of Aviye to resist the will of the Hegemons that divided her nation. When a beautiful defector falls into her lap, the terrible secret of how the Hegemony creates its Ascendants, powerful warriors wielding powers only a few understand, is revealed, as well as a lost path to the same power. As Zai and Amri struggle to understand the truth of the path, deadly enemies and even divisions within their own people must be overcome. Yet in the shadows of the Hegemony lurks an enemy far older and more powerful than even they can imagine. -------- I invite you to consider my other works if you are interested: https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-demon-lord-is-an-angel_28486713700592205#review I also have a Discord if you want to communicate with me directly: https://discord.gg/ksJ8dJup4d Special thanks to SapphoAndHerFriend for her support and help with the cover.

The Battle of Senzaluc - Part 7

Sendan Countryside

 

Rui

As the planes circled around for another pass, Rui put her plan into motion.

Running out ahead of her squad, she held a stripped log under Catastrophe's arm.

A long time ago now, Zai had shown Rui that anything could be a weapon if treated right. They'd sparred in the woods, with Zai demonstrating just how effective improvising weapons out of the environment could be.

As soon as Rui broke cover, a trio of enemy fighters started angling for her. They weren't in formation, which made what she had to do harder.

She angled her run perpendicular to the approach of the nearest one, she gripped the forward part of the log as she waited. The cacophony of bullet fire opened up on her once more. Rui shifted towards the fire as soon as she felt the first rounds impact against the light amount of qi armor she'd regenerated since the last pass.
