Book 6, Chapter 86 – Ashfall

Cloudhawk rushed forward alone

“You're throwing yourself into the fire,” Ash growled One person's strength could only go so far!

Cloudhawk could single-handedly defeat thousands, but tens of thousands? A million? He wasn't soy Appearing in the middle of Skycloud, soon he would be beset on all sides by Elysian forces

“Don't worry I'll have plenty of time to play with you before more friends come”

Cloudhaords were an affront Soon demonhunters and other elite would rush in to spoil their confrontation, but Cloudhaas insinuating that he would flatten this prideful Commander-General before that ti man, so full of himself If you knew me – knew the weapon I wielded – you wouldn't say such boastful things” Ash wasn't irritated by Cloudhawk's bravado He brandished his spear, ready for the fight “At any rate, I coe Come, discover the truth for yourself”

What did he mean?

The various Elysian lands were all isolated Skycloud knew nothing of Praelius or its people The reality was that Ash was a e of what Skye Polaris had been in his youth – the very pinnacle of huhly confident in their abilities and would not tolerate such disrespect So Ash decided to accept the challenge – only one of theht

Perhaps Cloudhawk really did underestimate the s, as he did, and not be a ht in his left hand Ruin crackled threateningly in his right With both weapons brandished, Cloudhawk rushed in to attack But Ash reacted quick enough to deliver the first blow As he thrust forith the spear in his right hand, with his left he pulled a sword from his back It was a black, two-foot shortsword that looked to have been carved from crystal The crimson runes etched on its surface made the blade look like a work of art and lent it a sinister air

Whoosh!+

Ash's ar the weapon toward his foe It cut through the air like a dart until suddenly it vanished Half a breath later it reappeared aimed just in front of Cloudhawk's face

An assassination relic? Cloudhawk paid it no mind Effortlessly he knocked it back toward its owner

The Coed ahead with both hands on his spear and launched into a fierce offensive In his bull-rush he collided with the black sword and what followed took Cloudhawk by surprise Ash thrust the spear into the hilt of the sword and the two beca the haft and then burst from the sword

“Die!”

As Ash lashed out with the coy The area was flooded with afterie Cloudhawk, taken aback, switched to a defensive posture

Spear strikes fell like rain against his pale white shi+eld, causing it to dis behind hiround beneath Cloudhawk's feet split, birthing a crevice several h the split and cleaved it in two A few tears appeared in Cloudhawk's clothing, but his ehty effort caused him no harm

Not bad, both men mused of the other

Ash reached back and drew a second sword This one was a long sword that belched an arc of purple electric energy When it struck, it forced Cloudhawk back a few steps Ash slapped it against his spear, affixing it as well Threads of purple lightning danced across its surface

Cloudhawk could feel its power surge This weapon was starting to look problematic

There were more than ten swords strapped to Ash's back and each one of thely, the very different blades were all part of a single legendary tool of destruction

“Ashfall!”

The Coed into a full attack the other weapons burst froh with a mind of their own, they joined the blitz With no evident power controlling theh the air and sliced toward Cloudhawk

All at once the wasteland leader felt like he was facing half a dozen enee of attacks, his swords latched onto the spear as though drawn by th The process lasted only a few seconds before all swords were affixed, co the relic

Its true for it was not a spear, but a y [1] It was as long as a spear and had a bladed head, but once the swords coed sword like any other Co, it was beyond a doubt an incredible weapon

The Commander-General's name came from the weapon he wielded – Ashfall

It was a relic co several different kinds of energy, it was also possessed of powerful destructive force This suited Ash's indomitable style Once complete and in the hands of the Commander-General, it was a power to be reckoned with
