Chapter 679 (2/2)

Dawn and the others weren't strong enough to withstand Phoenix's firestorm! Cloudhawk immediately teleported over to the up, shi+elding his allies frole un torrent

But the heat was intense Strong enough to burn parts of Cloudhawk's skin black

With Cloudhawk as the target none of their efforts would succeed However, if their wrath was directed to other members of the Green Alliance, Cloudhaould be forced into a defensive and reactionary role Selene had seen this and relayed the commands to Phoenix The Avatar knehat Cloudhaould do before he did it

Da the tactic and glowered “No good, if this keeps up we'll always be on the back foot We need to retreat!”

They couldn't destroy the foci, but they'd done at least some of what they set out to do As Cloudhawk and the others launched their attacks, they'd ed to capture the attention of Skycloud's forces With the realest occupied, Phain could escape with any Elysians he'd h Selene's eyes “They're planning to escape Cut off their retreat”

Like her nah the air and landed behind the wastelanders The earth shook as her long legs slas spread out in denial She continued to beat the countlessob of flame which were cast at her enean to react

The situation was turning against them, Cloudhawk had to respond He teleported in front of Phoenix with his own body awash in green flame He threw a full-ars around herself

He connected with her wing and iues turned to sickly green and inched closer to her ared color

“What?!”

Phoenix had not known Cloudhawk possessed this sort of power With her distracted, Dawn took the opportunity “Aiuns these Green Alliance soldiers held were not for show At her word each one began to belch beaht toward Phoenix Hundreds, even thousands of shots fell around her, punching holes in her infected wings

Next, electric light crackled in Cloudhawk's hand Selene saas to co and deafening as thunder, he shoved Ruin through Phoenix's wings and into her chest

“You piece of shi+t! You think this is enough to stop me!”

She was badly wounded, but the s, Phoenix was thrust away froe of the eboncrys rifles As she retreated her fires swept across her body, and all at once her wounds were healed

What aenerative abilities! Like the beast she was named after, was she able to co enemy to face!

Dawn continued to shout orders Her teaan to withdraw Cloudhawk followed suit With the situation as it was, continuing the fight was not a wiseto run?” Bruno called after the the Boundary Portal”

She knew that giving chase would not win the result they were after At best they would kill a few of the Alliance soldiers, but that e Cloudhaould likely injure Phoenix and Bruno, perhaps even gravely There was a lis she could see, and if Cloudhaas quick enough he could overwhelious abilities – a fact he kneell

The Eyes of Time worked in a relatively small area They were not infallible In the end, they were merely a special sort of relic that allowed Selene to see the most likely outcome within a brief period of time As variables were introduced the effect was dihty artifact was not perfect so she did not dare press her luck

“bastard! We're just going to let them escape? I haven't had my fun yet!”

Phoenix had underestimated Cloudhawk and paid for it Now she realized his mental powers surpassed her own, but still did not believe him to be her better Hatred burned in her eyes as she watched him flee

“Don't be hasty The future has already been written” Selene ht Selene to an open plot of land, where a circular portal had been created by his daggers Selene stepped through, and Bruno's relics pulsed with intense power

Ten seconds later, she eed at another focal point

With the spatial reat Selene could travel alers had been prepared It was also how she planned to restore the focal connection

When she stepped across the threshold, she found that they'd instantly traveled thousands of kilometers This fortress had already been attacked She looked out over the broken expanse, toward aacross his back like a peacock's tail

Ash Farran greeted the Avatar with a bow

Selene barely acknowledged him She looked out over the destruction and saw that the clash here had been fierce The forht, which ely by Ash Clearly he was as dangerous as Phoenix

With the help of warriors like these, the focal points ell protected The Boundary Portal would surely open soon

Elsewhere, Cloudhawk had already led his troops to the border of the realm

Daas out of breath “We don't stand a chance!”

“No, that's not true” Cloudhaas not disheartened “After two encounters I know Selene's weakness Those eyes of hers aren't as terrible as they seeet around them”

“Hoe do that?” Dawn asked

But Cloudhawk didn't iet back”
