Chapter 667 (1/2)

Book 6 – Chapter 59 – For over Skycloud's central square Such a stunning display the people could only attribute to the Gods, so citizens came in droves to prostrate thes had fallen on deaf ears He looked on as the Te It was so e a released

Was he too late?

Cloudhawk's dark eyes were fixed on the light-swathed Temple With no time and no recourse, he ing over the crowd, he released as y as he could The air warped fro for Skycloud's citizen to notice the change People raised their faces toward the sky where clouds gathered into whirlpools Only, the swirling was from the inside out, and from their depths spat forth a rain ofhunks of rock descended fro from a thousandsound that shook the city A dozen of the meteors roared toward Skycloud's central square

“It's Cloudhawk!”

“That de such an apocalyptic scene there was no need to guess who the culprit was Only the great evil of the wastelands, Cloudhaas capable of such a nighte

This hateful fiend! He'd been lurking in the wastelands for so long that they'd nearly forgotten hi the city! Trying to destroy the sanctity of this once-in-ard the Elysians so much?

Cloudhawk knew the risks of such an action He kneould cause s But what else could he do? He couldn't stand by and watch the Boundary Portal open, doo He couldn't just stand by while Selene was dragged into an abyss!

Destroy the Te innocents, but it was this or allow Skycloud to be razed to the ground Every man, woman and child of the city would be cut down Noasn't the time to debate morality and losses

Moreportals in the sky He struggled to arrange the portals in such a way to control their trajectory They shrieked across the sky toward his sole target, the Te trails in their wake, the meteors closed in with the i all at once would be equivalent to thousands of ordinance Nothe Temple's construction was, it could not survive a direct strike

That awful sound drew closer Burning light froht froy shot forth from the holy structure It struck the fore blast, broke it apart Chunks of flaled sky

Fla debris pelted various districts of the city Trees were set alight and s shattered in their passing

Boom! Boom-boom! Boom!

Cloudhaatched in horror and disbelief as one after the other hisacross the city They were intercepted inthem were, in fact, the city's Seraphs

He'd dealt with Seraphs before While they weren't weak, Seraphs weren't soldiers so much as builders and repairers In the few tih their lory

They shouldn't have been fast enough The Seraphs couldn't stop the whole attack any ain and again they threw themselves at the stones and were obliterated But Cloudhawk's meteor shoas deflected

While in his daze Cloudhaas taken aback by a thunderous cry nearby A groping clawed appendage reached out with incredible speed, condensing the surrounding air to water

Reflection shi+eld!

Cloudhawk instinctively raised his left arht shone forth The clawed hand raked across the shi+eld leaving jagged marks, but was thrust back to where it came Several of the claws themselves were broken

The strike had come from a divine beast! Cloudhawk's eyes fixed on the source of the attack

A winged half-lion, half-tiger creature with a body like carved jade floated e, for this creature was said to be the great protector of Skycloud, capable of sensing when danger was near

They must have known The Temple was prepared, its Seraphs arrayed to contend with the meteors That's how they countered his attack!

Cloudhawk lashed out at his attacker with the Arbiter's Staff As it swept through the air countless spark-like threads of lightning danced in the air In the blink of an eye they filled their surroundings Meanwhile the divine beast radiated light Its broken claws regreer fro;anced harmlessly off its defenses

The creature was incredibly strong! Its protections were as strong as its offense! Cloudhaare that defeating it would not be an easy feat, especially since he was in the heart of Skycloud He didn't have much time

Seraphs and de moment h array of defenders, especially the Seraphs So long as they were near the Temple they were unkillable and their power inexhaustible

Cloudhaas still trying to coure dashed a hundred meters into the air and settled on the Te and her dark hair whipped through the air In her right hand was a blazing crystal sword Her two eyes gloith silver light

“Selene?!”

Cloudhawk's eyes ide in shock He kneas her… and not her
