111 Into The Atlantic Rim IV : Altercation (1/2)

Standing here under the hail of gun fire would be a recipe for disaster, and even though Raven song seemed to have everything under control with his shield intercepting all of the plasma blasts, the moment those other guys got up from the ground, that's when things would get really dicey. Plus we had to get out of this office, or we would be invariably boxed in by their reinforcements once they get here.

The spear wielder was laying down some suppressive fire, so I couldn't make any moves without getting pumped full of holes, but then again my armor was almost legendary, so I should probably be able to withstand a couple of heats. Come to think of it, I've not really had the chance to out this armor to the test, but not now, I needed to get out of here.

I moved to the door with Raven Song keeping close behind me, his tower shield still blocking the plasma blasts from the spear wielders assault rifle. The door was automated, and the moment it opened, I could see other officers coming onto the bridge that led to the office. I didn't have too much time to think on my actions as I pulled on Sky's strings, sending one arrow after the other at the rapidly approaching group of people. The first strike whet into someone's head, pulverizing it and leaving behind a bloody mess.

My arrows had more power now than before, from what I can see my first arrow had as much power as my sixth wind marked arrows used to have before Sky's level increased. And with the new passive skills, she was giving at damage at the level of a small hand cannon, or maybe a shotgun with a singular damage point.

Raven song followed right behind me, and slammed his shield on the ground, a dull brown barrier rose up to block the entrance of the office keeping the other guys behind us, this way we won't be boxed on both sides. I would have taken to the air already, but I had dozens of guns shooting at me, I would be too exposed to them, and an easier target for them to shoot out of the air.

”The barrier won't last long Captain, it would just be there for two minutes. We have to get off this bridge before then.” I nodded my head to him as I pulled back Sky's strings.

(METOER SHOWER)

The previous meteor shower would at most release a maximum of fifty or sixty beams of light that cause extensive damage, but this time it was almost as if they doubled, or rather tripled. Hundreds of dull explosions accompanied by the screams of men and women rang out across the entire airship as the skill ran it's course. But the officers weren't the only thing that received damage.

The bridge we were on was shredded by the continuous strikes, it let out a loud cream as one end of it tipped towards the ground, the dead bodies and the injured ones of the officers all fell to the ground, falling almost fifteen meters to the closed bay doors beneath them. Raven Song and I fell we began to slide down the destroyed bridge, and just in time too as the guy with the spear burst out of the office with his spear pointed out.

His speed was so fast that he flew over our head, his spear glowing an icy blue as a blast of coldness assumed us. He slammed his feet against the metal wall opposite us, leaving a massive dent on it, before using it as a boost to shoot back towards our still falling body, his spear pointed directly at my heart. My eyed narrowed as I jumped forwards, pushing forward with my wings through the air and pulling my sword out at the same time.

*Clang!*

Both sword and spear slammed into each other, causing a shower of sparks and blast of cold air as we flew past each other. Raven Song used his shield as board as he threw his one banded hammer at the rapidly approaching spear officer. I already reached the other side and slammed my foot against it just like he did, and turned flying towards him. I watched as Raven Song's hammer slammed into his unprotected face, or so we thought as he was able to raise the spear up quickly and defend against the hammer strike.

The hammer went back to Raven Song as the spear officer was left unbalanced falling to the ground. I sheathed the sea sword and I followed flapping my wings as I started releasing rapid fire arrows from Sky. I honestly wished I had more archery skills, but for now this worked just fine. But even twitch the increased speed and damage of my arrows, every thing I threw at him was defended against until his back slammed into the metal floor beneath him. But he wasn't even dazed as he flipped himself up, and just in time too as Raven song's hammer slammed into that spot a second later.

Raven Song and I landed on the ground at the same time his massive shield back in his hand and his one handed hammer flying right back into his hands mere seconds later. We were getting surrounded on all sides so Raven Song stood with his back to me. He flipped his hammer a few times as he crouched low.

”You take half and I take half?” he asked with a smile on his face.
