Chapter 479 (2/2)
Because of this, fe precisely how capable this young man really was However, if they sent him out for this important task he certainly wasn't someone to discount
Cloudhawk coughed, spitting up soue after me, eh? How much money have they put on my head?”
“I'm not here because of the mission,” Blaze said “I'm here for my little sister Belinda I think you knew her”
She was one of the dened to Claudia's squad They'd had to leave her body in thethat had happened
Cloudhawk frowned “In a ue, you know that as well as I do You shouldn't be like everyone else and pin her death on me”
Everyone else referred to one person in particular, a ruddy-faced old general who stood nearby It was none other than Cosmo Thane, commander of the Retribution Battalion He had come with several lesser officers, as part of the ue of Demonhunters and Teet away
“No no no” There was no hate in Blaze's eyes, only calm “I just wanted to find out for myself the character of the man who acconified death at race Don't you think?”
“I don't have time for this shi+t,” Cloudhawk muttered
Blaze obliged He stepped forward, and as he did the air warped from a sudden and intense heat Sparks rose off of hiues of fire Flah they had a life of their own, visibly for like the texture of flesh and bone
Intense heat billowed off the man Everyone backed away from it
Blaze was a large man already, but as the fires coalesced around hiiant five meters tall Every inch of his body looked to be y he summoned was outside of his precise control Every ed with power
His transformation was ainst the increasing heat
All these years, this unassuth Only, he had done it quietly and without anyone noticing His awe-inspiring presence wasn't just for looks, either The heat wafting off of hiine, one that used his fiery powers to turn his body into a killing machine
Mocking jeers were aimed toward Cloudhawk He'd been driven into a corner, helpless
Templars reached for their sword, but Phain motioned for them to stop He saw that Cloudhaas nearly exhausted, and his body was in a bad way He was no h the trouble? Besides, Phain would rather bring back a corpse instead of a prisoner
If they brought him back alive, it would only lead to more trouble His personal relationshi+p with Selene and Daas a probleiven the chance
Dawn had at one ti Phain's disciple Selene was the hope of the Temple As far as Phain was concerned, this outsider had no place a them All he did was cause trouble, so he was better dealt with now
“I will begin” The fiery giant warned his prey Then, he bellowed a war cry
Blaze's flesh split in several place, and from within terrible spouts of fire erupted They were pyres of intense energy that spread all across his body, turning hi hi
So fast!
Cloudhawk barely had time to lift his sword before Blaze's fist smashed into Ardent Wrath The wide blade deflected the brunt of the force, but a red-hot ainst the steel That angry red spread through the metal until the entire weapon sizzled The sound of Cloudhawk's skin burning could be heard
In the space of a few seconds his broken weapon was hot as molten iron
Another roar erupted froiant's mouth He levied another punch at Cloudhawk and his weapon, more powerful than the last He pu to break through it to Cloudhawk
The League demonhunters who accompanied their leader exclaimed with exciteainst anyone, but now they saw that he was much more powerful than they expected Unlike the other notable talents of their ti but called no attention to himself
Cloudhawk's defeat was certain! How could this wastelander stand against such a man?!
Cloudhawk kept his grip on Ardent Wrath, which was red-hot fro fro out to the lip of the cliff and threatening to collapse He was completely suppressed by Blaze's flurry of attacks and had nowhere to go
“You think this is enough to stop e fro it difficult to follow Blaze's speed Sooner or later the big erous But from deep inside of him there arose a sense of absolute defiance He refused to lose, and that refusal allowed him to draw on the sea of potential locked within hith “Get the fuck on!”
Flames danced in the depths of Cloudhawk's eyes Dual scarlet fires that drew one in
They appeared in Blaze's eyes at the sarunt with strain, and watched as his whole body started to split apart
With a glance, Cloudhawk had foiled Blaze's overwhel assault
A streak of angry fire followed as Ardent Wrath cleaved into the giant's body It cut through flesh and fire, down into the depths of the beast where Blaze was hidden The leader of the League took as left of Ardent Wrath's bite and was gravely wounded for it His fight was done
The deaped at the scene Their idol had collapsed after one blow!
Cloudhawk's black hair danced in the fiery winds He thrust the burning length of his weapon into the ground, and glared at the for a moment no one could breathe
“Next!”
