Lucia coughed blood but managed a knowing smile. "You are not as threatening without your main powers, are you?" She pulled out a glowing syringe from her armor. "Suzy, Plan Z, he is vulnerable."
"The readings confirm it," Suzy added, revealing her own syringe. "His main core is sealed, no access to his dimensional or crystal abilities, not even his corruption powers I heard so much about."
Vell's eyes narrowed. 'They did their homework, these were not just random agents after all, they were people that knew a lot about me.'
"Are you sure about this?" Suzy asked Lucia, examining the pulsing liquid in her syringe. "The latest batch was still unstable…"
"Do it!" Lucia jammed the syringe into her neck. Suzy hesitated for just a moment before following suit.
Vell stepped back cautiously, maintaining his guard. Without his main core, he could not afford to be reckless. The swords in his hands were draining his reserve core steadily, and he needed to end this quickly.
