The moment Ashton received the word from Sheera about potential intruders, he grabbed Baiter's latest creation, [Wraith Sniper Rifle] and headed to watch over the portal. Even though, Baiter had already filled the area around the portal with remotely activated mines and could take care of the intruders by himself.
But Ashton explained it was the perfect moment to test the explosive rifle. Even if the rifle didn't work as intended, he could always activate the mines and get rid of the intruders along with the portal.
After using the rifle, Ashton was impressed. it was similar to the crossbow he had been using but the range was much larger and the damage was explosive. Normally, a crossbow wouldn't have been able to kill a target, let alone an undead, from such a distance.
