Chapter 201 – Book 2 (1/2)

Book 2, Chapter 58 – Mission Complete

As Cloudhawk floundered beneath the tunnel tendrils of steam surrounded him The cold made him shi+ver terribly

Frost de Winter's attacks were too overwhelet, for the burst of frigid energy snowsong speas enough to give a normal person frostbite Thankfully Cloudhawk's body was more resilient, but it still felt like every cell in his body was numb He could hardly move

The wave of cold was incredible Well, it wasn't quite accurate to call it a wave of cold

Snowsong didn't expel physical cold, but an energy field that reduced the teht in the field naturally froze fro Frost's relic produced

Whatever was unfortunate enough to be in the field felt the effect both externally and internally Clothes made no difference no matter how thick, and in only seconds the victi Snowsong was deadly long before it struck its target

Even with the mystical stone Cloudhaas still in dire straits There were li permeable, but only to a certain extend In his experience the denser and thicker the environh it Outside energy followed the same principles

When Frost's attack landed its energy field spread scattered, at least relieving hi the stone to avoid a direct hit fro enough to deal with a typical demonhunter maybe, but it was still too early to have any hope of surviving a fight against Frost

He felt his blood burn through his veins and a cold sweat sprouted froet pushed out Slowly he felt his normal dexterity return after about twenty seconds

We're not finished This bastard has repeatedly tried to put me in the dirt I can't take him on yet, but that won't stop me from fuckin' with him!

Cloudhawk picked a spot then used his stone to climb back up the levels He used his invisibility cloak to make sure he stayed hidden

Frost de Winter and the de

They were discussing their options Cloudhawk's phasing abilities made him particularly hard to kill, so it was a waste of time to try and pin hiitives in order to co at the same time

Hiding near the back of Frost's group he quietly seethed at their plan There was nothing this black hearted bastard wouldn't do

He stepped forward Suddenly another figure appeared a the soldiers

The two soldiers furthest back weren't paying much attention when suddenly their heads were sether They cruasped in surprise but before they could react Cloudhahipped his legs around in a series of powerful kicks Two h the air and into their compatriots

He charged forward like a bull,quick work of another three or four soldiers The narrow confines of the tunnels erased their nue, and with Cloudhawk's sudden and ferocious attack chaos quickly followed

One the demonhunters cried out “Grab him! Don't let him escape!”

But Frost de Winter and the demonhunters were at the head of the colu fro they could do Meanwhile Cloudhawk grabbed one of the soldiers and flung him over the crowd like a sack of potatoes He crashed into the center of the coluround

But soldiers were also starting to react, pouncing at him from all sides Soon he was surrounded

Cloudhawk's appearance was so sudden the soldiers didn't have time to draw their weapons They piled on hi for the others to coether until a dozen bodies were crushed together withto crush him to death

The turmoil caused Frost to lose his teet out of the way!”

The soldiers, a le thepile they discovered that Cloudhaas gone, leaving only several of their own asped for breath Cloudhawk stepped through the right wall of the tunnel, beat the lights out of a few h the left wall

Only a few of Frost's men had been seriously injured, but Cloudhawk's rapid sneak attacks had turned his crew into a mess of confusion He had no option but to spread his demonhunters out; three in the middle, and one on each end of the column Anywhere Cloudhawk chose to strike he'd have to deal with at least one of them

By now the convicts were long gone Frost de Winter had no way of knohere they'd gone With his attention on Cloudhawk there was no way forward

In fact Frost's defensive posture ca stone was it dey Cloudhawk stood in a tunnel a short distance away, one hand on the wall and the other on his hip, taking deep gulps of air Sas dropping off of him

No good… I'h!

These guerilla tactics couldn't continue, but as Cloudhawk tried to decide on his nextto communicate from nearby His face immediately lit up On time after all
