Each impact shattered more armour plating, revealing the soft tissue beneath. Black ichor splattered across the chamber walls as the creature's defences crumbled under systematic destruction.
The Guardian made one final desperate attempt, rearing up to drive its massive stinger downward. Poison dripped from the weapon like acid, promising death to anything it touched.
But Ethan interrupted its attack.
A concentrated burst of cutting wind removed the stinger at its base. The severed appendage flew across the chamber, trailing toxic fluid.
Game over.
Ethan's final punch drove through the Guardian's chest cavity, crushing its heart in a single motion.
The massive creature toppled backward, its death throes shaking dust from the chamber ceiling.
Ethan activated his Water talent, cleansing streams flowing over his bloodstained hands. The crimson ichor swirled away into nothing, leaving his skin pristine.
