The assault hit like being dropped into molten metal.
THOUSANDS of psionic attacks slammed into Jayde's unprotected mind simultaneously. No Ward to absorb the impact. No brown-gold sphere breathing and flexing to disperse the pressure. Just her mental barriers—already degraded to 82% integrity—trying to withstand focused hatred from two thousand parasitic entities that wanted her dead.
Jayde's vision went white.
Blood exploded from her nose. Not trickling now—gushing. Crimson streaming down her face in quantities that painted her chin red, dripped onto her training clothes, and pooled on the grass beneath her feet.
PAIN LEVEL: 10/10. MENTAL BARRIERS: 74% INTEGRITY AND FAILING RAPIDLY. CRITICAL DAMAGE IMMINENT. RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE—
(CAN'T BREATHE CAN'T THINK CAN'T—)
