The guardian and the mutated humans quickly engaged with each other, the mutant driven by their primal instinct and rage of being blocked from completing their mission got back into their hunched position and lunged forward with unearthly speed which Ikem still found weird, as the from the lifeforce of this mutants they should be able to generate such power or speed. "where is the power coming from?" Ikem thought to himself as he watched.
The soldier being lunged at, did panic as the sword he was holding took ablaze, ducking the elongated limbs that came after the lunge while at the same time attacking with the attempt of cutting the mutant in half.
As soon as the sword met the mutant body, rune-like marking appeared on its skin causing the fire on the sword to snuff out but the blade still went through before being stopped.
