Near Exhaustion

"Thirty-third Brigade deployed!"

He jumped over the crate and raised his rifle and spotted a red demonic face with blue hair, yellow eyes and white ivory horn. He ruined its face with a triple-burst tap from his Ballistic Rifle and moved again. Dominic glanced at him and winked. Blackshot stared at him with a questioning look.

"What were you winking for?"

"Reinforcements have arrived!" He yelled. Behind them, amidst the dead black-clad Remnant Soldiers of the Order of St. Michael, a group of glowing Humans in white robe stood.

Blackshot watched. Had he only been a regular Human like one of these soldiers, he would have fell prostrate before them, but he wasn't and he is just another warrior in the same level as them but belonged to another caste.

"Martyrs..." Blackshot muttered then looked back to Dominic. "Protectorate Angel, care to explain were they belong?"

"They are the 33rd Benjamin Brigade. I belonged to them before I was picked for the Mark II Program."

"I heard." Blackshot looked back again and saw familiar faces. There are those called Adrian, Joshua, Denise, the list goes on.

"For the Glory of Him, charge!!" One of them yelled and advanced across the cracked roads of the street, marching past flipped cars, empty buildings and corpses.

"A Brigade against a Hellspawn Swarm?" Blackshot laughed. "We needed them when we're fighting a Demon Legion but hey, these guys would help us clean up those 'mess'." Blackshot said and lifted his rifle. Dominic was beside him.

In front were the impenetrable net consisted of the same head that Blackshot killed earlier, along with a swarm of floating flaming bloodshot eye with red irises, and an insect with silver metallic carapace.

"Initiate Attack Protocol 72-4," Blackshot ordered beside him. Dominic shot him a look before returning his gaze at the rising tide of the Swarm of the Fourth Goliath.

"Acknowledged, Tribune-Commander." The Bladebearer replied. Without any hesitation, they squeezed the trigger of their rifles and the muzzles flashed, followed by a sound of inhuman shrieks and wet gore.
