Chapter 447 (2/2)

Nor was Wyrmsole by himself The other de half a dozen exorcist bows They fired toward Frost as leaping through the air Clay saw the critical error his ally had made and his eyes dimmed He had no other choice but to attack despite the disadvantage After all, Arcturus had high hopes for Frost If the Master's protege died here, Clay wouldn't be able to face the Governor ever again

He raised his hands overhead Billowing steaed their war As y reached out for it, that mist condensed into droplets of water They rained down onto the field below like bullets, sround with asthe earth

The e, Clay send it toward their foes like a tidal wave frory sea

The uard They hadn't expected this one so dangerous They were forced to retreat or be swept away

Meanwhile Selene, Dawn and the others wasted no tih Frost and Clay were powerful, they could only hold out for so long deep in enemy territory If they didn't find the Crimson One soon, they would all drown in a sea of enemies

What's erous foes Who knein the winds, besides those they'd already encountered Who knehen they would appear to block their path?

Suddenly a blast caught their attention from somewhere else in the city Surely there was some sort of conflict, and more than likely it was Cloudhawk

Daould wait no longer “Let's go!”

Before her words even had time to fade from the air, a shadow flit by from some indeterminable location It was too fast to folloith the naked eye, but where it passed the ground was crushed and cracked The power of it was of rare quality, and it was headed right for Dawn

Too fast Even Mr Ink and the old drunk were slow to react Mr Ink only had time to cry out “Miss, be careful!”

Dawn shoved Terrangelica into the ground and created several walls between her and her attacker However when the mysterious assailant struck them the stone walls folded as easily as paper However, by then Dawn had her second line of defense prepared, an invisible field placed right in front of her

A bone-jarring crash sounded Cracks appeared across Dawn's translucent defense On the other side was a figure, a ball of light

She couldn't dodge, her foe was too fast All Dawn could do was suht elica She was i force which knocked her a dozen ht for breath, coughing up a mouthful of blood

“Dawnbreaker Ar the blood frolared at her foe “Contemptible worm! Only brave when you can attack froir Polaris?”

As the energy dissipated off of Duure was revealed

Several more approached from different directions Eckard Skinner, Toad, Canker, and a number of mutants All of them were deadly wasteland killers

Toad hter “Should I call you brave, or foolish? Did you really thing such a small number of you could take Fallowmoor by yourselves?”

Canker said nothing Tendrils of insects wafted around hi lines of ink As that darkness reached out the others adopted combative postures, ready to launch into battle in an instant Support would surely be on its way, and if they didn't do so they would surely die before they even laid eyes on the Crimson One

Dawn audibly ground her teeth “Hey, Selene I can handle this You take the drunk and get out of here”

For the ti for Selene Though it rankled her to adhter than she was, and all of the away from this situation was impossible Besides, she had the benefit of her father's relics, which likely roup

She didn't knohat the old drunk was capable of anymore, but he sure as hell wasn't weak

It looked like they were the best choice to join up with Cloudhawk The three of theroup of mutants and traitors, she and Mr Ink could hold them for a while

“Most of the Crimson One's lieutenants have shown theo after the head of the snake! Don't get fussy about it and just go!”

Eckard's deep laugh rose from the darkness He lifted his enormous sword, and rushed at them

Barb was the one toher exorcist rod toward the enor martial abilities and the demonhunter relic, she was actually able to stop his advance

It was a fact that surprised the former instructor Where the hell had this little bitch come from? He'd never heard of her, but clearly she wasn't as weak as she appeared

Barb was under no illusions that she could help in a fight against the Crimson One, she would only hold theht off a threat from behind Selene and the drunk saw the truth in this and were forced to separate again They turned away from Dawn and the others to cut a way out

Eckard ainst the Crimson One? As far as he was concerned, they'd failed theirto kill the Criht as well throw themselves on their oords
