Chapter 523 (1/2)
Book 5, Chapter 28 – The Mysterious titan
Khan of Evernight? That was quite the title Cloudhaas even s ell-founded
Froure he felt a creeping dread Whoever or whatever this person was, he was no throastelander Neither was he an enemy Cloudhawk could handle easily
Those soldiers on either side of the Khan weren't the typical sort, either With as roup of theh of a display to o dry And that was before he even considered their boss
He didn't like getting into a scrap he couldn't control, so Cloudhawk tried diploht and sparkles, what are you doing here? Wanna sit down for a cup of tea? If that's the case you're welcome”
The Khan's eyes flashed “You are the one called Cloudhawk?”
Cloudhawk blinked in surprise He then looked toward hellflower “Look at otten all the way to… wherever this guy is from”
“Infarumbled
As high-brow as his title was, there was nothing stately about the Khan of Evernight He turned a deaf ear toward Cloudhawk's teasing words and pressed on in his s to me I expect you to release him Immediately”
“Ah, so this Wendigo King is your man” Cloudhawk acted like this news came as a surprise “Why didn't you say so? Hyena and I actually go way back, so I guess you can say he's our h, so I'llhost”
“I ae you to comply, for everyone's sake”
The Khan's digital affect was co to suspect there was nothing alive in that ar with a robot The Khan spoke like a machine, with flat tones and stilted pronunciation Everything was at one volu from his voice
Cloudhawk narrowed his eyes “Let's say I refuse?”
The Khan stepped forward Although there was nothing threatening in his posture the sheer presence of him forced Cloudhawk to take a step back
Cloudhawk scowled This asshole is being all mysterious over a simple question? Fine I can show off, too
He glanced toward the old drunk, who met the silent order with reluctance “You haven't learned a thing Any time you meet a foe you can't handle your first act is to trouble me with it”
However the old drunk co Sunstroke from his belt
The sell-suited for the oldspecial to look upon However, while an ordinary th Vulkan concealed, the Khan of Evernight could sense it immediately He pointed at the sword but was otherwise still as a mountain “You mean to start conflict”
“You want to bring that puppy king with you, right?” The old man said with a smirk “Beat me and you can take him”
The Khan's response was frank “Alright”
With nothing more to say, the old drunk h the air
His attack was simple, at least on the surface In reality it contained treh so Even Cloudhawk, in the state he was in now, reckoned he would struggle to defend hiainst it
The Khan extended his hands and dual blasts of energy belched from his palms
They were a pair of vorpal blades, pluy The air crackled and distorted around its edges [1]
He opened with a disht ary was cleaved down the hs in the earth on either side of the Khan Each one stretched out at an angle, carving a forty-round
Bystanders stared with ering power and the mysterious Khan had deflected it without effort They felt like their eyes would roll out of their skulls
All but Cloudhaho's face was furrowed in worry He felt like they'd just stepped on a land was the old drunk? Put it this hile Autuest person in their crew, that was a ht fight, it wasn't certain she could beat Vulkan The drunk's combat abilities were comparable to the late General Skye's
One of the reasons Cloudhawk took hi was because he was convinced there wasn't anyone around who could threaten the old o King in the first place The end result atching this Khan of Evernight, who he'd never heard of, deflecting Vulkan's attack like he was a child
He had to be as strong as the Crimson One! A man like him was a tre the case, hoas it that absolutely nothing in Cloudhawk's intelligence even th left a trail They had to have come from somewhere It wasn't like super powerful people appeared out of thin air
The South? That must be where this problem came from But what sort of place was it down there? Sand Viper claimed it was the former home of Abaddon…
