"...What?"
The Guardians could really only stare at the gaping holes now painting their bodies. But after a few moments, they strayed their eyes away from it as they focused on the red stones that were floating in front of all of them.
After all, an injury like that is nothing to the Guardians— they could lose their limbs, but the Guardian Force will regenerate any injuries in less than a minute no matter how severe. The only way for them to die was if they could be killed almost instantaneously.
Well, there was another way— for the Guardian Force inside them to be forcefully pulled out. Once it does, any power the stone gives them instantly goes away, turning them back to their normal selves.
But this kind of cause of death was not common— one would even say that throughout their almost millions of years of history, the number of times it has happened could be counted in one humanoid hand…
…and most were by themarians.
