Bang! Bang! Bang!
Vera controlled the hovering BAR M1918s surrounding Maxwell in the air, directing their muzzles toward him from different angles before sending a storm of bullets in his direction.
The machine guns fired almost at the same time.
The sound rolled across the arena, and the stream of bullets tore through the air so quickly that the spectators watching from the Holographic Screens could barely distinguish one shot from another. The hovering BAR M1918s did not need hands to support them, nor did they need soldiers standing behind them. Vera's Cognis had turned them into weapons that moved according to her thoughts.
Their muzzles flashed repeatedly as hot gases and sparks burst from the barrels.
The bullets flew toward Maxwell from different directions, forcing him to deal with several attack angles at once.
Maxwell's golden eyes moved across the battlefield.
Golden flames gathered around him.
