Vol 5 Chapter 57 (2/2)
“You!”
The wastelanders and their brazen beasts were too numerousCloudhawk’s meteor had obliterated all the attack and defense towers in that area, allowing them to pour in
Oren’s Demonhunter Corps and the several thousand Elysian soldiers weren’t enough to stem the tideThese despicable barbarians seemed endlessKill one and three took his placeSkycloud’s forces were being pushed back by sheer nurew ever more ferociousThe situation was one of utter chaos
Oren was locked down by the drunk and the situation in the area was nothing short of hell
“Of the three legendary men of the Cloude faht at all about the consequences if he died? Don’t you see how prosperous and powerful Skycloud has become? The wastelanders can’t be allowed to destroy that!”
The drunk responded while easily deflecting the Knight-Coo, there hasn’t been true peace in SkycloudThe Elysians lands today are nothing cooAren’t you at all curious what happened behind the scenes? Don’t you ever question what Arcturus’ ulti bird of prey swept byUpon its wide shoulders were twenty to thirty wastelanders, several bearing rocket launchersThey were screa recklessly into the crowds of demonhunters belowThe other fired poison bolts at whatever target they could find

I’ll kill these rotten fiends ravitational fieldA an to warpAll of a sudden an irresistible force ca down, like a fly swatter on a flyThe bird was sainst the meteor so hard it left a crater in its metallic surfaceThat sturdy uishable from the bloody chunks that had been its riders
Oren turned back to the drunk and launched five consecutive attacksEach one carved trenches threearound him
The meteor Cloudhawk had summoned was at least fifty percent est warriors could hack at it with an ax and succeed only barely shaving off chipsThese attacks fro much more than that with the help of a thousand tiravity behind them
“You think you have what it takes to kill Master Arcturus?” Oren turned up his nose at the drunk’s declaration“His wisdoy and ambition run as deep as the oceansHe is the most incredible human to have lived in the last millenniaA man like you can never understand his decisions, onlyhe does, he does in service of humanity!”
The drunk narrowed his eyes“What Arcturus has done in these past years violates every tenet of basic human morality and conscienceIf you knew the full extent of his cri you would still die for him?”
“Whether offensive or defensive, this conflict was bound to get bloodyGood and evil are ever at oddsIf no one stands against the darkness, how can you sow light around the world? You have shown that you don’t understand this basic truth”
Oren’s face was set; intractable, resolute and emotional“I don’t need to knohy Master Arcturus kills so, and that’s when Arcturus chooses to take a life it’s to save millions of othersPerhaps in your eyes he is a h foul means, but I promise that none of you understand the true man that is our Governor! He has sacrificed ine!”
The drunk scowledHe was stunned at how fervently Arcturus was defended by these fanatics
Oren continued“You are beasts that are ruled by emotionOnly Arcturus has the wisdom to rise above! Who knows better than anyone what needs to be accomplished and howThat is the Arcturus I know!”
“So be itI don’t have any grand ideals and I don’t knohat righteous mission Arcturus claims to be onAll I know is that sooner or later it’ll all coames have caused this mess and foret worseNow is the time he will need to settle accounts”
The old drunk raised his head when he heard the flying saucer scream by overheadThat was the Khan’s personal vehicle
Alone, the drunk was certainly no match for ArcturusThe sahtBut the coht of Nox and Nucleus had a chance, slieance hadn’t been on the drunk’s mind before todayOn the one hand he knew he couldn’t accomplish itOn the other, he didn’t think it matteredBut ever since Arcturus orchestrated the murder of Skye Polaris, and ever since the old drunk had recovered his health, his thinking had changedHe didn’t care about this warIt didn’t oal only – Arcturus
“Don’t even drea out his hand toward the War SaintA crushi+ng field of increased gravity slammed down on the drunk
“I don’t have any more tilihostHe reappeared directly in front of Oren with Daybreak following in a beautiful arc
Oren held his staff with both hands and held it aloft, instinctively ravity around hilove relic the staff screa as the lush was, a direct blow from the staff would break his skull into pieces, no question
But the drunk was agileThe flash of his sword swerved around the staff, its deadly glea itIt was an incredible display, one only the War Saint could ht ar you your lifeBut your relic belongs to love off Oren’s handWithout sparing a second glance he shot toward the center of the fortress like an arrowHe arrived just as Arcturus released his blast of electric power and destroyed the Khan’s shi+p
As the Khan shot froe he and the drunk locked eyesWordlessly, they came to an accordTheir shared malice settled unto Arcturus
“Both of you have arrived, hhIt was unclear what he felt in that moment, but in the next he was flooded with i accu around him like a bomb ready to detonate“What comes will co else saidThere was nothing ht and Vulkan the War Saint launched into their joint attackThree epic warriors of the last generation endary confrontation
