Steel Waste Chapter 271
Advertisement
Afton glances between the two healthy lobotomites, the one missing an arm, and the two cyberdogs glaring at him behind the lobotomites. He didn't really know if they'd continue shooting sonic blasts at him or simply charge his position... He wasn't exactly looking forward to seeing how painful their enhanced bites would feel.
The lobotomite whose arm he'd cut off seemed to be in a lot of pain, but wasn't losing all that much blood. He wasn't lying when he'd said these weapons were like lightsabers. Their wound had been cauterized by his simple slash...
The lobotomite in question seemed to shrug off the pain however, picking up another dropped holo-axe-thing with the remaining arm and charging him, the other two seemingly allowing them to test the waters.
Afton dodged backwards to avoid the wild slash and chops down in anticipation of the next, freeing the lobotomite of their other hand. Not wasting any time, he uses his other axe and slashes the lobotomite at the waist, cutting them completely in half...
He didn't even have time to be surprised at the sheer power of these weapons as he was forced to throw himself to the side axe two more shockwaves shot by the cyberdogs pass his position. Once he was out of his roll the two other lobotomites were already upon him.
Afton blocked one attack by locking the axe handles together, and was forth to do the same for the next attack. His arms were restrained while trying to hold back the attacks of both lobotomites, if he didn't have 13 Strength right now the enemy would be overpowering him.
While he's preparing to throw them off of him he's stuck in the side by a punch, one of the lobotomite's taking the opportunity to attack around the axe. In response, Afton slams his foot down on their knee, breaking it inwards in a spectacularly disgusting fashion.

Just as he was about to take advantage of the now crippled enemy, he notices the cyberdogs running towards him. "HAARRRGH!" he cries as he forces the enemies back wit hall his strength, throwing them off of their feet from the sheer force of it.
Immediately afterwards he turns towards the cyberdogs that were slowly circling him as if they were wolves and he was prey... They were definitely smarter than your average dog, or average cyberdog for that matter.
He holds both axes in a ready stance as he slowly turns to face them, idling noting that the dogs were separating and beginning to flank him. He glances towards where the lobotomites were and notes that the still healthy one was getting to their feet-
The cyberdog, either noticing his attention being elsewhere or just losing their patience finally snarl and charge him. Afton had expected this and prepares to slam his axes into the dog and hopefully cut them in two.
But before the dog is in range it stops back quickly backs away again... His eyes widen when he realises what it's plan is-
*BARK!*
Again, he's thrown through the air, wildly spinning as if he'd been hit by a sportscar. He doesn't lose concentration though, even if he was feeling slightly nauseous. He concentrates on the cyberdog as he flies over it, prepared to slash at it when he hits the ground.
*SLAM!*
"OOF!" he lands with a groan, and can already hear the cyberdogs paws pattering across the stone. He waits for couple more moments before swinging an axe in its position, feeling a small amount of resistance as he hears a pained yelp.
Turning towards it, he spots the attacking cyberdog that'd had half of its body cut off at an angle. He wastes no time and slashes an axe past its head, putting it out of its misery as he looks towards the remaining cyberdog and lobotomite.

Seeing them somewhat apprehensive about approaching him, he lets the axes clatter to the ground and drops to his knee while pulling his Anti-Material rifle off of his back. Seeing this the enemy breaks into a sprint towards him, but they are unable to stop him from firing a couple of shots.
*BAAANG!!*
A 50. calibre bullet tears through the brain dome of the remaining cyberdog, passing through its head, and continuing into its torso, causing so much damage that even a necromancer wouldn't attempt to bring it back.
Quickly, he pulls the bolt and prepares another shot, aiming it directly at the chest of the approaching lobotomite...
*BAANG!!*
The sheer force of the bullet throws them backwards, a huge hole forming where their heart used to be. They fall lifelessly to the ground, their heart, spine, and most of their lungs having been unceremoniously removed.
Afton grins as he discharges the empty 50. cal shell via the bolt, afterwards slinging the weapon back over his shoulder to be ready for further use in future if he needed it. He gets to his feet and draws Lucky and starts reloading it, opening the wheel and sliding .357 rounds into their respective housing.
He walks over to the crippled lobotomite who was still for some reason, trying to crawl towards him. He points the gun at their head and executes them without any fanfare, granting the blue grass more sustenance via whatever fluids leak into the earth.
Now with the enemies dead, Afton is able to take a look at the futuristic axes the enemy had been wielding... He picks one up and slowly examines it, only now noticing a hidden button on the side. He presses it and causes the blue holo-blade to cut out, leaving just a metal handle... Raising a brow, he uses his inventory to get the proper stats of the weapon.
