The metal plating was usually between one eighth to three sixteenths of an inch thick,

It was definitely a signature of Sage’s camp no other camp had anything like it.

First, it was nearly impossible to gather that much scrap metal. Second, the armor was clunky as hell. Each set weighed dozens of pounds, making it hard to rum and even harder to wear for long.

But somehow, it suited Sage’s camp perfectly.

So, when this squad of armored fighters charged head–on into the horde of zombies, not a single one of them hesitated. There was no retreat. Only battle.

Under Sage’s rule, everyone in Dawnwatch Camp fought. Those who couldn’t kill zombies weren’t allowed

to May.

When it came to zombies, there was only one rule–kill or be killed

A chorus of howls ripped through the air.

Roughly a hundred zombies barreled toward them, triggering chaos on impact.

Fireballs, blasts of water, chunks of earth, and shards of metal whirled wildly through the crowd. Strength- type and speed–type ability users led the charge, throwing themselves into the melee.

Even the ordinary fighters grabbed whatever weapons they had and followed close behind.

Theresa observed closely, gauging their combat prowess. Roughly one in seven possessed abilities, most of them limited to basic elements or physical boosts–nothing particularly special.

She noticed maybe seven or eight people standing off to the side, not fighting. They were being protected.

Those were space–based ability users.

And then there was Sage.

He didn’t lift a finger. Just stood there, calm and composed, watching it all unfold

In under ten minutes, the entire zombie wave was annihilated.

The casualty rate was surprisingly low–only two were injured, and just one of them was bleeding

“Mr. Arlen, it’s just a cut from the blade, one man said, clutching his arm, visibly shaken.

Sage’s voice was calm, almost gentle. ‘Get in.”

As soon as he spoke, one of the space–based ability users who hadn’t joined the fight stepped forward and summoned a half–human–sized iron cage, its top lined with sharp spikes.

The injured man saw it, lowered his gaze, and hesitated briefly. Two seconds later, he climbed in on his

own.

The moment he was inside, there was a loud click as the lock snapped dur

Everyone che pretended not to notice, heads down, silently collecting gleamstones

Just as the last few stones were being gathered, a sudden commotion erupted from the cage.

The man inside gripped the bars, trembling uncontrollably. “Ah!

“Ah!”

He rantled the cage violently, veins hulging across his face, sweat pouring from the pain.

The sound brought the entire camp to a halt. All eyes turned as Sage began walking toward him. unhurried, one deliberate step at a time.

Seeing him approach, the man panicked. “No–no, Mr. Arlen. Im not turning into a zombie It’s just the backlash from the gleamstones!”

But no matter how desperately he pleaded, Sage kept moving forward. He reached out with a steady. graceful hand and pulled the lever on top of the cage.

The spikes dropped instantly.

The man inside snapped.

“Let me out! Let me out!

“I’m not a zombie!

“You don’t get to decide my fate! Who the hell do you think you are?

“I’m done following a lunatic like you! Let me go!

“Let me go!”

Thud!

The spikes slammed down, driving straight through him.

Theresa’s eyes were suddenly covered by a hand.

Quentin’s voice murmured close to her ear. “See that? That’s a heartless mad dog. Feel sorry for him, and you’ll end up nothing but bones.

Theresa sighed inwardly. Like I need him to teach me that?

She brushed his hand away, just in time to see Sage approaching.

“We should be leaving soon, don’t you think, Ms. Hall?” he said.

“Absolutely. Theresa replied at once. This place is far too dangerous–we need to go as soon as possible.” Sage gave a slow, almost mocking smile. “And yet, I can’t shake the feeling that you’re simply going through the motions, I’ve never quite felt any real sincerity from you. After all, actions speak louder tha

words, don’t they?

“Mr. Arlen, don’t try to gaslight Theresa,” Quentin shot back, stepping forward. “That line of yours is just a way to undermine everything she’s done and make her question herself. But let’s be honest, if Theres hadn’t shown up when she did, where would you all be now? Would any of you still be alive

“She came all this way to help, and you’ve shown her zero appreciation. All you do is belinde her and demand more.

“If you claim she isn’t sincere, then tell me what does it say about your sincerity, when you’ve never stopped taking her help!”

Quentin stood firm behind her, his voice sharp and unflinching.

He’d seen through this manipulative game from the start.

The best way to dismantle tactics like Sage’s was to lay out the truth and let it speak for itself.
