By comparison, the Subvoid Beasts and Wraiths could only occasionally send a few sparks dancing over the robots' bodies, slowing their movements a little, but never inflicting fatal damage.

Thanks to them, the group of three "robots" and one human finally had a chance to rest for a moment.
"So the rumors were true? What an astonishing ability! If they're nanomachines, how can they use so many energy weapons? And those light blades can't be lightsabers or atomic spears. Even the Enlighteners couldn't equip every nanomachine with an Artifact. So what exactly is their energy source?"
