"If I absorb this," Jonah murmured, his deep voice filled with a mixture of hope and terror. "If I take their magic inside my own body...""You might get a ranged attack," Kevin finished the thought. The young Scout smiled a fierce, dangerous smile. "You might evolve from a shield into a cannon. You could shoot your own kinetic energy back at them."Jonah looked at his massive, dark iron-scarred hands.If he did this, he would be letting the corrupted magic of Silas’s army directly into his blood. It was incredibly dangerous.The magic might poison him. It might change his mind. It might turn him into one of the empty, unfeeling ghosts.But Jonah thought about Lisa lying in a coma in the next room. He thought about the red laser dots dancing on Kevin’s chest in the snow.He remembered the feeling of absolute helplessness as he stood in the crossfire, unable to fight back.He could

They looked through magical scopes. They shot glowing purple bullets that ignored the wind and tracked body heat. They were cowards. They were cold, calculating machines. Jonah slowly lowered his hands from his face. He looked at his massive, thick arms. He looked at the heavy, dark iron scars covering his skin. He was a Tank. The System had built him to be a shield. His Undying Will skill was a miracle of survival. It allowed him to absorb bullets. It allowed him to turn terrible pain into kinetic power. If a monster stood in front of him, Jonah could shatter it into dust. But what good was a shield if the enemy refused to get close? What good was a massive, forty-pound iron sledgehammer if the assassin was two miles away, hiding on a cliff? "I am just a target," Jonah whispered into the dark, empty room. His deep voice was full of bitter, painful realization. If he walked out the front door right now, the invisible snipers would shoot him again. They would shoot him ten times.

The silver light grew so bright it was hard to look at. The room vibrated. Small rocks danced on the concrete floor. "You will not take her!" Jonah roared. With one final, massive push, Jonah blasted a wave of pure silver energy deep into her chest. A thick cloud of black, foul-smelling smoke exploded out of Lisa’s wound. The dark purple light shattered into a million tiny sparks and completely vanished. The Anti-Regeneration magic was dead. Jonah had burned it away with his own soul. Jonah pulled his hand back. He stumbled backward, completely exhausted. The silver light in his eyes faded. The iron scars on his chest turned dark and cold again. He fell heavily against the concrete wall, panting for air. Martha did not wait. The doctor rushed forward to the metal table. She looked at the wound. The purple glow was completely gone. "Kevin, give me the other potion!" Martha yelled. "The small blue bottle in my bag!" Kevin grabbed the bag. He dug his good hand inside and pulled

Jonah stared at the black ash on Lisa’s chest. His heart dropped into a cold, bottomless pit. "The bullet," Jonah whispered. His deep voice sounded like a dying engine. "The bullet is cursed." "It has an Anti-Regeneration property," Martha explained. The doctor’s hands were shaking now. "The purple Mana inside the wound is eating the healing magic. The enemy designed this bullet to stop the System from fixing the damage. It destroys medicine. Normal healing potions and skills will fail." Lisa let out a terrible, rattling sigh. Suddenly, her body went completely limp on the metal table. Her back arched slightly, and then she fell flat. Her dark eyes rolled back into her head. "She stopped breathing!" Elena screamed. Martha pressed two fingers hard against Lisa’s pale neck. She felt for the pulse. The room was totally, perfectly silent. Martha looked up at Jonah. Tears filled the doctor’s tired eyes. "She is flatlining, Jonah," Martha whispered. "Her heart has stopped. The purpl
Chapter 567
The heavy metal doors of the Sanctuary broke open with a loud, violent crash. Jonah ran into the concrete building. He did not care about the cold. He did not care about his own bleeding wounds. His massive chest was covered in dark red blood and freezing gray ash. In his giant, scarred arms, he carried Lisa. She was incredibly light, but the weight of her dying body felt like a falling mountain. Her green mechanic’s suit was completely soaked in black and red blood. Her head hung back loosely over Jonah’s thick arm. Her dark eyes were closed. "Medic!" Jonah roared. His deep voice shook the dust from the concrete ceiling. "I need a medic right now!" The escape from General Silas had been a desperate, bloody blur. Just as Jonah had put the dark handcuffs on his wrists, Elena had driven the massive, heavy logging truck directly off the cliff. The truck had crashed onto the ruined highway, crushing three invisible assassins under its massive rubber tires. The explosion of snow and

"Hello, Jonah," Silas said. His hypnotic, beautiful voice echoed softly in the quiet, snowy tunnel. Jonah stood up slowly. He gently laid Lisa back down in the snow. Jonah stepped in front of his son and his dying friend. He placed his broad, massive body between them and the guns. The freezing silver light in Jonah’s eyes flared with blinding intensity. The iron scars on his chest pulsed with heavy, terrifying power. "Silas," Jonah growled. His voice sounded like grinding mountains. Silas smiled beneath his silver mask. He looked at the glowing giant with deep, scientific admiration. "You walked through a wall of my best sniper fire, and you do not have a single scratch on you," Silas murmured, nodding his head. "Your Undying Will skill is truly magnificent. It is a flawless piece of biological programming. It breaks all the rules." Silas took a slow step forward. He did not look afraid of Jonah’s power. "But you have a fatal flaw, Jonah," Silas said softly. Silas pointed hi
