Chapter 301 (1/2)

Book 3, Chapter 37 – Spearhead

Cloudhawk attacked without hesitation, sweeping quiet carnage and lashi+ng out with a streak of energy from the blade It reached for Red-Face in an upward arc – if the sand could be seen as an ocean, then Cloudhawk's blade sas like a shark's fine closing in Sand parted as it screah in its wake

Red-Face swung his hammers up to protect himself The impact knockedhim backward

After shoving the bandit some distance, Cloudhawk reached down to check on Barb He fished an elysian medicinal pellet from a pouch and pushed it into her mouth “I didn't think you had it in you Where did that come from? Remind me never to piss you off”

Barb was a little ehed weakly, too beaten to be any use in a fight With a face full of shame she looked up at him “I'm sorry I'm useless, this is all my fault But you still came to help me”

“Oh shut up This is a good scrap! No trouble at all” Cloudhawk straightened up “You h Now leave the rest to me I needed a little exercise anyway”

This young stranger was able to knock Red-Face back with a half-hearted swing of his arm He couldn't be any normal wastelander Fro style, he had to be a demonhunter

But what really impressed the audience was Barb's last-ditch attack The onlookers couldn't help but put theainst her terrifying attack, could they have survived? In short, ht, they wouldn't be walking away unscathed

They didn't envy Red-Face With what she they witnessed, that woer to scuffle with

As they watched, the other hotel patrons werecalculations in the back of their mind It was always best to deal with threats early, but this girl and her friend were aabout

Red-Face wasn't going to take any chances He backed off another ten , and stared venoht, your excellence is interrupting You show up at the tail end to take advantage after I'ht those bullshi+t odds Elysians can't fight their own battles it seems, eh? Is this how demonhunters act?”

“Say whatever you like” Cloudhawk pulled his sword back, resting it on his shoulder He stood unguarded like they were having a nice afternoon stroll He was different from elysians, that much was certain, and didn't share their saoing to get under his skin If Red-Face was ai to be disappointed Cloudhawk answered with an al you do with other people You see a rabid dog causing shi+t, you shut it up with the point of a knife You can try and reason with a onna do you any good”

Cloudhawk's insulting words e at the sides of Red-Face's head “What an arrogant elysian fuck Underesti a wastelander's poill cost you”

“Don't talk like you're hot shi+t You don't represent the wastelands” Cloudhaas becoht, my time is precious Come at me if you think you can, but if you keep fuckin' around I won't go easy on you”

Red-Face sed the injustice A fight was a fight If it was to be two fights, then so be it This guy looked pretty young, so how strong could he be really? But to be safe, the bandit leaderthe wall Half a dozen or them drew their weapon and dropped down to join Red-Face in the fight

Cloudhawk looked at theot left?”

“You broke the rules first Don't blarinned, then ordered hish, Red-Face charged “I'll show you just how strong the Ghost Pack is!”

The men he had with him were his crew's best Pick any one of them at random and they were a considerable threat for wastelanders After their tiy And with their leader at the fore, they were a force to reckon with

The et off a shot His pair of handguns fired off eight shots in quick succession,sure Cloudhawk couldn't flee to either side Instead of backing off, Cloudhawk pressed forward, his sword flashi+ng The bullets ricocheted fro to pierce an iron curtain, and the Warden slipped betithout trouble Whoosh!+ In a blink he was in their midst

Cloudhaasn't a large or inti deep into the sand as he charged ahead Even the air see it to shi+mmer and warp An army and its fortress couldn't stand in his way

Quick as fire and strong as iron, he ca down on them with a thousand pounds of pressure and a thunderous blast

In the instant before the two sideshis sword It seemed to cut the sky in two Onlookers could clearly see the friction of its passage coughing out sparks The relic was also hu its scope and power

Strong So strong!

It was incredible that he could gather so th in such a short period What they saw froe seenized it for what it was Spearhead!

Spearhead was a ht to members of the elysian army Typically, only their most capable officers were able to learn its secret It was used to penetrate the enemy's first line and route their defenses That's how it earned the name spearhead

Did thatman was a soldier? He had to be, otherwise how could he kno to do a move like this?

Red-Face thought he had things under control, until he saw the unexpected scene eiven hi into one of them and blasted the, right toward Red-Face

He had no choice but to hide behind his haain A tremendous BANG arose

Red-Face cleverly used what techniques he knew to deflect e Cloudhawk's own force to knock hi bandits scrath, it was the perfect opportunity to gang up
