Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots echoed from inside the smoky area of the fight platform.
The sound of the M27 IAR's rapid fire continued without giving Desmond much time to breathe.
Then…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The bullets crashed into the incoming Blood Daggers.
Some of the crimson weapons shattered from the impacts, while others were knocked off course and buried themselves into the platform. The explosions from the previous exchange had left the area covered in smoke, with small flames still flickering across broken sections of stone.
Desmond moved through the smoke.
His body was difficult to see clearly, but the crimson glow of his Blood Mercury occasionally appeared through the gray cloud.
He gathered several of the floating Blood Mercury spheres toward his right hand.
The blood compressed.
It stretched.
Then it hardened into a heavy sword.
