Vol 1 Chapter 140 (2/2)

Demonhunters were known for their abilities, especially in close quartersThe injury to her leg wasn’t severe, so she et back on her feetIt did, however, prevent her fro was the fact that Cloudhawk still had the energy to use his relics, if needed

Luna saw her plight clearlyIf she didn’t run, the traitor could get behind her using his speed and invisibility for a blind attackThat could be deadlyThe other soldiers had to be closeIf she could stall for a minute or two, they would surround the area and he would be trappedThat was her best chance at turning the tables

“Before I kill you I want to ask you so” Cloudhawk had to satisfy his curiosity before finishi+ng it“Why do you want to kill uardedShe answered with a voice full of veno“You’re a traitorDo we need any other reason?”

Behind the mask Cloudhawk scowledDid she think he was a de! But it didn’t matterEither she died, or he didHe had no intention of dying today, so it would have to be her

Cloudhawk grew up in the wastelandsHe was a wastelander, through and throughAggression and viciousness was in his bonesYes, he was far kinder than most of his kin, but towards those anted to kill him he held no pity at allIt didn’t ed forward, flinging a dagger at her with his left hand with lightning speed!

Clang! Her exorcist staff knocked it away

Cloudhawk spun the dagger in his right hand so he held it in a reverse gripSeveral vicious swipes followed, aietsLuna danced out of har herself with her staff

Sparks fleith each collisionThey clashed four or five ti out in protest at they ain inher to even go so far as to gain the upper handShe knocked Cloudhawk’s attacks aside, then brought her staff doard his skullYetan arrow made from sand to appearThe mystical attack easily split her armor and buried itself in her chest

She gasped in shock and fell to the floor

Luna looked down at the shaft of the arrow jutting from her chestHer face betrayed her shockShe couldn’t believe itShe simply couldn’t believe it! The bastard had other relics! He was just a defectorHow could he be so well equipped? And with relics of her quality than the likes of her exorcist staff!

Luna’s tracking torque and Raith’s Lifedrinker arroere both family heirlooms, true treasures that had been passed down from accomplished demonhuntersYet this traitor had at least two relics that rivaled theirs?!

Cloudhawk felt exhaustion creeping up on hi, there wasn’t ySuddenly he heard the sounds of footsteps co from several directionsThe owner of one set shouted“Mistress Luna!”

Luna and Cloudhawk’s faces changed, but in very different ways

She cried out“Here!”

Cloudhawk rushed at the injured demonhunterThey’d heard her, but he still had a few moments before they arrivedIt was his last chanceShe would stop at nothing to kill himHow could he allow her to live? If she were allowed to return to the elysian lands, who knehat sort of danger she would cause?

Luna faced Cloudhawk directly as he ca to kill her, but the wound to her chest was too severeIf she tried to fight back, it would onlywasn’t an option either, and she could no longer compete with his speed

What choice was there? She watched the et closerSo this was how she died…

A bitter unwillingness filled her heartShe was a demonhunter! She wore that mantle with prideShe also bore hatred for this despicable traitor, a hatred that refused to abateHow could she allow herself to be killed by this scuer cahtly in her hands

He would die, even if it race!

With this deter up was not an optionShe h the tearing pain in her skull, driven by the will to survive…

…And a surge of power answered herHer exorcist staff stirred one last ti the air around it

It would never have occurred to Cloudhawk that, on her deathbed, this girl could tap into her latent potential [1]He had already fully extended himself into this attack to back awayAll he could do was try to shi+ft his body and direct the bloard the Gospel of Sand hidden beneath his clothes

Bang!

Cloudhaas knocked several feet away

Luna’s face was a twisted mix of hatred and painThe counterattack had cost her dearly,them to bleed profuselyShe’d drawn more than her body could in to slip as she collapsed to the ground

It was unclear whether she was alive or dead

Cloudhawk coughed up several et back on his feetThe Gospel of Sand had ed to block much of the staff’s power, but it was still a potent weaponHe could feel several ribs had been broken, and there was soansIt made it difficult to move

Just then, several soldiers appeared, approaching from different directionsCloudhawk had to rely on his cloak’s power to hide him as he fled

“Mistress!” Seven of the soldiers she’d brought with her appeared and gathered roundFour of theerThe reency packs and set about trying to save her life

Luna’s injuries were severe, but for now they were not yet fatalTwo demonhunters were sent on a mission; one was dead, the other woundedNo one could have iined this was hoould endOne of the soldiers lifted her up onto his shoulders when Luna’s eyes suddenly fluttered open“He’s injured pretty badly,” she et them here to track him downHe has to be killed!”

With her bitter command delivered, she slumped into unconsciousness

Elsewhere, Cloudhawk pulled off hisblood all over the groundHe hadn’t expected to fall on such hard times, or to be so badly injured in their skirht up chances were he’d be a dead et as far away from here as possible
