Chapter 458 (2/2)

The old man was definitely a hard one to put down! It seemed unlikely the assassins would succeed

Mr Ink was controlling the power of Death and Decay as it worh his body Caustic purple smoke and a terrible stench forced its way froeneral was assailed by a sudden bone-deep weakness His liether made it hard for him to even move

Mr Ink urged the corrosive power to begin expressing on the surface It would surely serve to greatly reduce the old man's defenses

These contes! He would not be felled at the first blow! Skye released another deafening roar of anger

Light returned to his beleaguered fory that poured off of hih to finish the War-God, but it did buy them time

But what did that matter?

Skye felt another wave of dangerous energy pass over him

A s Hundreds of streaks of light erupted forth, blanketing Skye in electric energy Everything centered on hiain

Boom – boom – boom – boom!

At least twenty bolts of lightning hit him in sequence! Even someone as tenacious as Skye would have to be injured after an attack like that

The concentrated bolts of lightning were but a prelude As he was unable to athered over his head It coalesced into a column of electricity as thick as a barrel

Skye felt a tremendous pressure fall on him

With ahis fist toward the heavens, like he was trying to punch it apart Even a thunder his feral roar could be heard “Arcturus!”

He , but all of his fury was directed at Skycloud's Governor

The bolt crashed into the General and Skye's iron body was immediately burned black Like a spear froh him

The item Clay had used was called a 'Spirit Bead,' a relic with a one-time use The last time one was seen was back in the Great War A Master Deies into the beast and give it to someone else to use It was all the wrath of Arcturus Cloude, to be used at one's leisure It delivered a blast comparable to the full force of a Master Demonhunter

Skye Polaris had first fought off the deht hiy This was despite old injuries and advanced years conspiring against hi the betrayal of a decades-old friend The dark powers of the relic stole what reth Finally, the Spirit Bead

It was more than he could withstand From outside the destructive force of Arcturus, from within the corrosive poison of devils

His body quickly started to collapse in on itself He was done for

“Now!” The three killers moved in to finish the job

Frost thrust his crystal blade into Skye's throat Clay stabbed a blade of light into Skye's broad chest Mr Ink jabbed the die of Death and Decay into his friend's eye Three deadly blows, fro – no God nor man nor demon – could endure such cruel abuse

Skye Polaris felt his o In the diret He shouldn't have dragged Cloudhawk into all this And Dawn… Dawn

I'm sorry Grandpa broke his pro

Light poured out of Skye's body After years of toughening, every cell was like a nuclear reactor Skye kneould die, but if he had to go he would release every iota of what he had left in one final blast He would take these treacherous fucks with him

“shi+t! Back off, back off! He's going to blow!”

The three assassins broke for safety as fast as they could Light was released from the old General's body with such intensity that he had beco silhouette broke apart, releasing unthinkable ay

The ensuing blast was like a storm of apocalyptic proportions In a blink it sed up everything within a thousand kiloht in this radius was atomized

General Skye Polaris, the greatest warrior in Skycloud's history His life was proof that although he was no demonhunter, any man could rise to ular human

Commander of the Elysian army Patriarch of a respected family An avatar of power and authority

Killed by cowards and turncoats Not even a corpse reive him a respectful burial

Blinding light hung in the sky for a long tieneral died
