Chapter 391
"Help us! Please!" Landon stopped running. He looked down the dark side street. Trapped in the middle of a snowy intersection was a large, yellow school bus. The bus was surrounded by overturned cars. Hiding inside the bus were twenty innocent civilians. They were families who had not been able to escape the city in time. They were crying and hugging their children. And slowly circling the yellow bus were five more terrifying Shadow-Hounds. The monsters were scratching at the metal doors, trying to get inside to eat the people. "We have to save them," Juno cried, her heart breaking for the terrified children. "If we stop to fight five hounds, the ancient God will catch us," Kade warned nervously, looking back toward the ruined fortress. "We do not leave people behind," Landon growled deeply. His dark eyes burned with fierce determination. Landon sprinted down the side street, heading straight for the trapped yellow bus. Claire ran right beside him. She had no bullets left in
Chapter 390
Suddenly, the black, freezing puddles of water scattered across the ruined courtyard began to bubble and boil. Dozens of terrifying creatures crawled out of the black puddles. They were Shadow-Hounds. They looked like giant, starving wolves made entirely of liquid darkness and sharp, icy teeth. Their eyes glowed with cold, dead light. "Kill the tiny humans," the ancient God commanded the Shadow-Hounds. "Turn their city into a graveyard." The dozen Shadow-Hounds roared and charged directly at the Vanguard team. "We cannot fight a god today!" Claire ordered fiercely, her brilliant tactical mind instantly assessing the impossible danger. "Our magic is empty! We have to retreat! Fall back through the breach! We fight them in the lower districts!" "Run!" Landon roared. Landon picked up his heavy combat knife. He did not have any bullets left. He turned and sprinted toward the massive gap in the ruined wall. The Vanguard team ran as fast as their tired legs could carry them. They scr

The heavy, rhythmic footsteps echoed up from the dark, underground stairs. Landon Hale stood in the freezing, snowy courtyard of Bastion. He held his breath. The winter wind of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, howled angrily around him, but he barely felt the terrible cold. His dark eyes were locked completely on the giant, open hole in the ground. General Kade Rauth was gone. The evil leader of the Iron Order had been completely consumed by the ancient monster he tried to control. Now, the true nightmare was climbing up to the surface. "Landon," Claire Arden whispered softly. She stood right beside him, gripping her empty silver pistol. Her hands were shaking. "What is coming up those stairs?" "The end of the world," Landon answered. His deep voice rumbled with grim certainty. The pitch-black shadows inside the underground stairwell began to twist and swirl. The toxic, dark purple magic that usually powered the Iron Order was completely gone. In its place was a magic so dark, so incredibly
Chapter 388
"It is not dead yet!" Claire warned loudly. She was right. The Iron Behemoth was crippled, but the ancient stone Guardian piloting the machine was still alive inside the chest cockpit. The giant metal chest plates of the Behemoth slowly hissed and slid completely open. In the center of the open chest, the fifteen-foot-tall stone Guardian glared out at them. The Guardian's single red eye burned with pure, toxic hatred. The Guardian was holding a massive, glowing purple relic core the size of a refrigerator. It was the main battery for the entire robot. The purple core began to hum incredibly loudly. Bright, blinding purple light gathered in the center of the core. "It is charging a massive core-blast!" Jin screamed in absolute terror. She stared at her computer screen. "The magic energy is off the charts! If that core fires, it will completely vaporize this entire courtyard! We will all die!" Landon looked at the glowing purple core. It was ten feet away from him. He knew he co
Chapter 387
Landon jumped off the giant robot and landed safely in a deep snowbank. He quickly rolled behind a wall to hide from the archers. “Great hit, Landon!” Kade cheered in his mind. But the Iron Behemoth was not dead. It was incredibly angry. The giant monster spun around. It still had its massive left arm. The left arm did not have a laser cannon. It ended in a gigantic, solid iron hammer-fist the size of a small house. The Behemoth raised its massive iron fist and slammed it brutally into the ground exactly where Kade was hiding. CRASH! Kade dove out of the way just in time. The giant iron fist completely pulverized the concrete block Kade had been using for cover. The concrete turned to gray dust instantly. "It almost flattened me!" Kade shouted, running through the snow. Up on the high black walls, the Iron Order archers saw Kade running out in the open. "Shoot the rocket man!" the enemy captain ordered. Dozens of glowing red magic arrows rained down from the sky. Kade dodge
Chapter 386
Landon could not move. If he dropped his white magic shield, the red arrows would slaughter the slow civilians who were still running out the gates. He was completely trapped. But he was not fighting alone. “Kade! Marcus!” Claire commanded silently through the glowing white web of the War Resonance magic. Because Landon had opened the magic link, the team shared one single, perfect mind. Marcus stepped boldly into the deep snow. The giant, bearded construction worker raised his massive automatic shotgun. He aimed perfectly at the giant purple cannon on the Behemoth's arm. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Heavy steel slugs slammed into the giant metal barrel. The bullets did not destroy the cannon, but the heavy kinetic impacts knocked the giant arm sideways. At the exact same millisecond, Kade fired his rocket launcher.The heavy green rocket flew through the air. It smashed directly into the side of the Behemoth's head. KABOOOOOM! The explosion was huge. Bright orange fire covered the mons
