Last extra one for a while. The Other Side of the Shield - Aincrad Excerpt! · 11:44pm Jan 9th, 2020
Excerpt From Episode Episode 24 - Coming Tuesday!
The Iron Bulwark was causing a scene as she showed the Assault Team she was just as strong of a fighter as she was at blocking. Backbreaker was barely using her shield. It was partially in her way because it was so big. It still was way too valuable in the fight to unequip it.
A Guardian bit its pincers on Backbreaker's shield, putting it right where Backbreaker needed it. The war hammer flared red and came down on its head with a crack. Bladescape rammed her blade into the Guardian's rear. Astro and Thunderborne were on the other side and impaled it from that angle. Kiefer's katana glowed dark purple and was slashed through the insect’s leg and then stabbed his sword to the hilt. Diemond was blocking them from the next incoming insect and Backbreaker made sure they could address it by landing the final blow on its head.
It was slow work but they steadily ground on. Backbreaker was their big damage dealer. She was unyielding and unrelenting, just like the reputation her shield had earned her. Backbreaker was not going to let them fall. She had not been able to do much in the Floor 50 fight and all she did was hold her shield for the Floor 51 boss fight. She did what she needed to do for the good of the raiders, but Backbreaker hated not getting a few good blows in. She was going to make up for it in this battle.
