"Caster," Saber said. "You should know that your spells are useless against me." She struck again and the barrier appeared once again, this time with silver light blossoming and releasing a mellow chime with the impact. Saber's attack had gotten much closer, though.

"Yeah," the man, now called Caster, growled. "That's why I brought this." Then he drew an absolutely huge revolver from his duster's pocket with his right hand and pulled the trigger. There was a CRACK as the revolver went off and Saber was forced to step back from the sudden impact. Her armor was scored slightly from the shot.
