Elias Grouch and China Pleasant checked the next four cabins which had similar signs of attack.Lack of blood,missing bodies,open doors and windows.These were what they witnessed but they didn't figure out what caused it.
Night was taking over the sky as the moon rose in the background.They were in cabin 16 and losing hope of completing their task within the first day.
The ambient mana didn't appear to have an origin point and centre where it was thicker or of higher quality.Halfway through checking out the cabins they checked the surrounding perimeter to see where the increase in ambient mana stopped and started.
This high quality ambient mana didn't have a circular perimeter.The shape was uneven and seemed to cover the entire resort.
"Do you think we should call back up?" asked China Pleasant who lost confidence in being capable of locating the source of the anomaly.
"Nope we'll continue for another day and then call backup.Theres no reason to give up on the first day." Mr Grouch wasn't willing to give in so soon.He was hoping to get a good reward for this investigation and get back to relaxation.
As the two headed back to their cabin to rest for the day they felt as though they were being followed and a sense of danger.China instinctively jumped to the side as a chained spear flew by her.
Both Elias and China took out their weapons and braced themselves for battle.The chained spear quickly receded back into a spear gun that was attached to a robotic limb.
That robotic limb was attached to a robot with a body that was made up of rubber incased wires with various robotic limbs sprouting out of it.It even had pieces of circuitry embedded in its body.It also had a creepy white smiling mask at the end of its pear shaped body.
"01211002"
"The fuck is that thing?" Elias Grouch spoke with fear as he pointed his enchanted gun at the machine.His hand shook and his aim wasn't steady.Nothing frightened humans more then the fear of the unknown.
"No idea let's scrap it and figure out afterwards." China Pleasant brandished her flaming katana and charged at the homicidal robot.She reinforced her body and the ground seemed to quake beneath her steps.
The machine seemed to note her approach and its spear gun limb receded into the wire mess that made up its body.Two more robotic limbs with what appeared to be flame throwers appeared and torched the area in front of it.
It clearly believed that she would be unable to stop her charge but she twirled around the fire hazard and landed a hit on the spider robots leg.The leg bent out of shape but still remained functional.This surprised China who didn't expect the robot to be so durable.
BANG
BANG
BANG
As the robot stopped using its flamethrower limbs three powerful gunshots resounded.Elias got over his fear seeing China damage the robot.The magical bullets fired from the gun were capable of far greater force then normal bullets.When fired on a normal person it would cause a large area around the impact to implode and burst.
When fired on the robot they penetrated its body deeply and left sizable dents.The one that hit its mask caused it to crack slightly with a bullet indent.
The flamethrower limbs retreated into the robots body and were replaced with robotic limbs with circular saws at the end of them.Neither Elias nor China knew how many mechanical limbs the robot had but it was clearly more then its body suggested.
The circular saw limbs continuously encroached on China's changing positions but China danced around these attacks with the ease and grace of a swan.
To China the robot might've had attack power and durability but it was pointless if the robot never got a hit in.Her fast and powerful strikes continued to rain down on the machine and damage it.
The robot was beginning to lose limbs and its mask cracked some more while Elias continued to embed magical bullets in its body.That was when the spider robot changed its target and rushed towards Elias at the speed of Usaint Bolt.
On its way the machine took some magical bullets to the face for its trouble which caused some fractures to start appearing.Small pieces of its mask fell into the snow.For something that appeared to be made out of plastic it was awfully durable.
China continued to attack the robot whilst it approached Elias.Elias meanwhile was charging up a powerful shot with his gun as he poured a higher amount of mana into it.
As Elias was about to pull the trigger the spider robot caught up to Elias,proceeding to grab his ankle with a mechanical hand and twisting it.
That was the moment Elias pressed the trigger.The magical bullet made impact with the centre of the machines smiling mask and penetrating it.The mask shattered with its crimson sigils immediately becoming dull.
The magical bullet continued through its body which imploded and collapsed in on itself.Its attached limbs fell to the ground lifelessly.The robot was destroyed.
Before they could celebrate and think about taking the destroyed machine back for examination the robots body dissipated into thin air.In the robots original place was a book titled "The connection between mechanics and enchanting".
