Chapter 357 (1/2)

Book 3, Chapter 93 – Breakthrough! Escape!

The Dark Atom's Nirvana defense system was a man-made natural disaster – a mass volcanic eruption they could soe was a massive swath of territory, pock-marked with volcanoes ready to burst If any one of them blew, then dozens of kilometers would be covered in deadly lava What's more, the scale of even one volcano was monstrous If just the mountain Nucleus was located under blew its top, the results were catastrophic

At the very least, elysian soldiers caught in the cataclysle person's strength in the face of nature's fury

Once Nirvana was triggered, the area for kilometers around Nucleus would be buried beneath liquid stone and volcanic ash for a long ti while the city would remain isolated froet close In preparation for this, Nucleus had long ago established an enclosed ecosyste without outside help for the better part of a decade It was their greatest trump card, only to be used in the most dire of circumstances

At the site of their great battle, the e had already becory red stone, thick as lare painted the mountain sides in drah the valleys Those caught in the open ashed away, dead before they could drown

In this moment, heaven and earth had no boundaries

Beyond the reach of the lava tides, orbs of it spat froround likethe safety of the air Elysian warshi+ps dodged and weaved, but to no avail Pyroclasts sla ablaze everything it touched There was no succor for the huht in the blast zone

All of that bullshi+t he was spitting at Drake… Cloudhawk never thought he'd actually be right

It really was a trap They were hiding all these years,people think they were afraid of Skycloud, so that when they were actually discovered the elysians would co they had at the Dark Atom, as quickly as they could before the rats could scurry away back into their holes Little did they know, bringing their full ht into the rebels' hands

The Dark Ato Nirvana, too Wolfblade wanted his net full to bursting before he pulled in the haul

What a terrible cost the elysians had paid for their hatred!

Cloudhawk never hadhimself out of sticky situations This time it was a much taller order to save a whole squad of soldiers, and it was a task he very nearly failed But he gritted his teeth and drew on everything inside of hi on his potential

Waves of stifling heat were closing in He felt like his head ht explode!

Brontes and Roc felt the scorching heat wash over theet out of this?

Cloudhawk ignored their surroundings, focusing everything on the phase stone There was an ocean of physic force within he, he'd seen it! Why couldn't he call on that power for himself?

Why was he always restricted to calling on such a siven more? Cloudhaasn't satisfied with boundaries He needed what the stone could offer, it was the only way to save himself and the others from annihilation

“Get out! Give it to me!”

Drake saw hi “If you can't do it then save yourself Get out of here!”

“Shut the fuck up! [1]” Cloudhawk had been born with a stubborn spirit, and it was that he drew on Veins bulged on his forehead and the vessels in his eyes becaed “Who says I can't do it?! I'll fuckin' show you what I can do!”

Both will and body were pushed their highest liht burst from the phase stone

In the recesses of his in of it evaporated, but did not vanish Instead it hung in the darkness like a cloud, while a portion of it was drawn into him

To hiush of water flowing through his body and ies were like a trickle, but now all of a sudden it was stream

Got it! I fuckin' got it!

His elation wasn't because he succeeded in calling the stone's power Cloudhaas happy because he e of teh!

Since obtaining the phase stone, it becaies Over ti power from that dark sea was slow and laborious The tremendous inheritance from the stone's forot stronger he was able to finally push through the bottleneck and increase his capabilities

Over the last several years, improvement was exactly what Cloudhawk had been after Step after step, hour after hour, finally he was reaping the benefits

He didn't knohen he had the strength to refine some of the stone's power, only that noas theimpetus, but the deadly environiven hi was in place, he was finally able to push through the block that was keeping him back

“It's no good! You need to go!”

Drake had no idea as happening within Cloudhawk All he kneas that lava was quickly going to be lapping at their heels If Cloudhawk didn't get away now, he would lose his chance

He respected the guy's intention Drake just regretted not listening to him in the first place If Cloudhawk died because of his stubbornness, his spirit would know no rest even once it was a the Gods
