A fire roared from the back of the ax head, and I dashed forward to grab the handle before it smashed back into Keri's mid-section. I tossed Keri back to Nushi, and latched onto the handle of the gigantic jet-ax with both hands.
The damn thing nearly ripped my arms off as my Earth and Fire Pacts both kicked in to weld me to the ground. The force it had could have cleaved through the floor, and then ripped me down into it.
Finally, the ax ran out of juice, and I let out a long sigh as I relaxed my arms. This was one hell of a weapon, and there was no doubt that it worked the way it was intended.
“Sorry!” Keri squeaked, running over to hug my side as I put the massive jet-ax down.
I looked down at her and picked her up, sitting Keri on my shoulders. This was the best place for her in a shop filled with this many dangerous things.
