Chapter 28 Killing The Sky Scourges

• With a swift swipe, his sharp combat knife sliced across the Sky Scourge's thick hide, carving a flesh wound. However, the damage barely registered, the cut appearing as nothing more than a thin red line against the creature’s hardened, almost armor-like skin. Maverick grimaced. His strength was too low to deal any real damage to the mutant monster, and every strike felt futile.
• The realization came fast, but Maverick acted faster. Using his knife’s failed slash as a distraction, he drove his foot into the creature's flank with all his might, propelling himself backward through sheer force. The momentum launched him several feet away, giving him just enough room to raise his gun. Without hesitation, he squeezed the trigger, firing two shots midair, both aimed squarely at the Sky Scourge's exposed neck.
• Roarrrrrr!
