Chapter 596 - And We Wwere Gone (1/2)

Sunny staggered back, stunned by the sudden appearance of Saint Tyris A tense, dangerous silence settled over the island after she spoke, with only the wailing of the wind breaking it

Snow danced in the air, slowly settling onto the cold ground

His heart was beating like a caged ani on, damn it?'

Cormac scowled and looked at the slender woman with a dark expression on his stern, weathered face The Saint did not seem amused by the sudden appearance of the leader of the White Feather clan

"Sky Tide… stay out of this"

Saint Tyris didn'tSunny and Cassie with her slender body The wind picked up, and the clouds see her suppressed emotions

…Only, as Sunny realized, they weren't suppressed at all Sky Tide just didn't show them on her face Instead, the world itself did it for her

"I think not"

Cor in his eyes

"You don't knohat you are interfering with, Tyris Get out of my way This is not your business"

She shi+fted slightly, the howling of wind growing louder The violet flowers bent, pressed down to the ground

"This isthat happens here, and to thehed, then took a step forward

"The entire garrison of the Night Temple iped out These two are the only witnesses Are sure that you want to make their fate your burden?"

Sky Tide frowned, then spoke, her voice even:

"If that is true, we can question theether, back in the Sanctuary"

Cormac smiled darkly, then shook his head

"I'ht not know ave it tothe will of Valor… you wouldn't want to do that, would you?"

A corner of Sky Tide's mouth suddenly twisted upward She stared at the fearso in her voice:

"What is he going to do? How is he going to punish ion, maybe? Oh… wait…"

She took a step forward, as well, her tone changing, becoing the world into shadows

"You have forgotten, Cormac… I am Sky Tide of the White Feather clan, not Valor I ao, I looked the other way and allowed your odious scheretted it ever since This is uest here I warn you… do not test the limits of my hospitality!"

As he spoke the last words, a deafening thunderclap resounded, rolling across the Chained Isles like a herald of heavenly wrath

Cormac stared at her, unimpressed An expression of conteerous eyes The Sainthis ance is so tiresoe to warn… otten, but it is you who doesn't seem to remember Who I am What I am And what I a intent growing thicker and ave you the idea that this is a negotiation? You will stand down, or I will put you down Either way, the result will be the saered for a moment, then looked over her shoulder at Sunny and Cassie Her gaze was calo"

Sunny took a step back, histo force out a question:

"But… but what about…"

Sky Tide was already looking at Cor with steady steps Her hair danced in the wind like a streaold

"Run! You won't survive the fury of this battle!"

Sunny hesitated for a split second, then grabbed Cassie and ran They dashed away froe of the island He didn't knohat a fight between Transcendents would look like, but had no doubt that mere mortals like the two of them had no place in the one co collided with a thunderous roar behind them, and Sunny was thrown into the air A violent shockwave passed through his body, causing a short screaround and felt it shi+fting, as if a powerful earthquake was happening led to rise back to his feet, then helped Cassie do the same and continued to run Shards of stone flew past the into a furious blizzard

Behind theiant bird of prey, her feathers white, her sharp beak and devastating talons forged out of lustrous, polished steel Her enorhtning danced around her body like a radiant mantle

The other was a ferocious wyvern, his black scales as dark as the abyss, withunder them like iron chains The head of the creature was croith twisting horns, and in his lowed darkly, illu in the depths of the beast's adamantine body

Tyris and Cor in the veil of stor roar rolled across the island, and then, another shockwave hit, tearing a hole in the blizzard

Boiling blood suddenly strea on the snow like vermilion rain

'Gods… oh, Gods…'

Sunny and Cassie could only run Froround The hurricane wind thre and sharp bits of ice into their faces, and their ears were ringing fro soe of the island, ready to jump onto the chain, when there was a sudden lull in the terrifying havoc
