The scene had also startled Mantis and the Bloodsoaked Queen, though they were surprised for different reasons
Both of them had spent more time with Cloudhawk and knehat he was capable ofHe was average, another face in the crowd, nowhere near the skills of an outpost’s elite fightersAnd yet, though there was a clear difference in abilities between hi his ownAt least he had a chance to hit back
His speed and strength, all of his abilities had substantially increased seeed so ht?
Before they could puzzle out an answer a scream pierced the airCloudhawk’s exorcist staff appeared froht it by cla his sais crossways over the shaftAmidst the screech of steel the staff’s keen tip pierced his leather armorA moment later and it would have pierced flesh
Whoosh!+
Cloudharenched his staff back and juked leftHe brought the staff crashi+ng down froainTheir weapons h the blow host Cloudhawk disappeared only to ee somewhere else with a deadly attackHis cloak made him invisible but also imbued the boy with a burst of speed that put hi, as indoht five or sixsqueals
Little by little Panther fought off the disadvantageHe couldn’t see his target so his response was to shut his eyesWithout the distraction of vision he used the eddies of wind and the whistling sound offroainst themCloudhawk’s invisibility was troublesome, but it would take much more than that to beat soht achieved nothing and his opponent’s defense was only getting erOnce the relic’s power gave in he’d lose the one advantage he had
Ti up and planted his feet on a nearby wallHe coiled in like a spring, then shot forward off the wall as quick as an arrowWith all the momentum behind him he swept his exorcist staff doard the nape of Panther’s neck
Panther sensed the incoht ar his whole body with hi as it moved to knock the sneak attack asideHis left hand responded half a second later by bringing his weapon up tohere he deter in for the kill
The kid was finished! He had strange tricks to help him, but in the end he lacked experience

Who could expect that in this instant, as Cloudhawk let loose a bestial roar, a surge of unnatural poould explode froan to rotate at an incredible speed,Panther’s block with such intensity it nearly ripped the weapon frorip
What the hell?!
That wasn’t a staff, Panther thoughtIt washis other sai up early and used both to catch the staff in between
The friction as they collided lit up the hall with sparksSpectators almost had to cover their ears froood qualityDespite the severity of the blow they didn’t break, but as h Cloudhawk’s staff Panther had to struggle harder to keep fro skewered
Threads of bloody veins increased through Cloudhawk’s eyesHishis fortitude to a whole new levelAll the latent force of the staff reached its peak, and suddenly a concussive shock burst forth from it
“Go to hell!”
Both sais shattered!
Panther let go of the cutting shards, and when the shock wave hit it threw hih into the airHowever thealoft he executed a series of er froround, he curled ready to launch into another attack
“Enough!”
Hydra’s shout brought their battle to an endCloudhawk reappeared, drenched in sweat and chest heavingHis psychic energy was depletedThe webbing between Panther’s thu fresh bloodHis clothes were ripped and cut, and the force of the impact had caused sohting
Cloudhawk had appeared to have the upper hand, but if they’d continued the fight it was uncertain the kid would have coht had been finished before his exhaustion could play a role, and now Snaketooth had nothing to say
Arteht and curious eyes, like a rotith a scourge hare in its sights“This little brother looks like he’s got no teeth, but for a young’un you’ve got some spunkI like talented men like you, it ht have”
Nothing was said, but Artemis felt a distinctly murderous intent settle on her
It was the Bloodsoaked Queen’s frigid gazeAs strong as Arte on herEven without lifting a finger she knew she was nowoman
Was this delicious boy toy her lover, she wondered? Such a pity!
Hydra dise with a wave of his hand“Everyone take a seat”

“Ugh, you ot a few hundred scrubs, are they really that anize the thousands of troops we have here in the Outpost, surround them, and that’s the end of it!”
