Avery peppered Iniquus with blasts from his laser pistol as the man darted around with speed that seemed impossible for his large size.
Whenever one of Avery shots was about to hit him, he brought up his now inoperable gauntlets and used them to deflect the beams.
'Those must be made out of some incredibly dense and reflective metal. I've got my pistol set to its maximum output, but I can't break through.' Avery thought, sweat pouring down his forehead as he felt the pressure on him increasing.
Eventually he lost focus for just a moment, and the pressure he was putting on Iniquus lessened slightly.
Taking this opportunity, the man grabbed one of the weapons from his fallen troops and began returning fire at Avery.
Hastily pulling Ezra's hard light shield in front of him, Avery absorbed the blasts coming his way and returned fire.
Still, his one-sided offensive had now come to an end, and he and Iniquus were locked in a deadly struggle.
