Chapter 693

• The angel's words cut through the frozen awe of the angels, and the nearby single rapholem dove for Mia. Vinicius stopped him. With a roar that rose above the growing thunder, Vinicius dove around Mia, and smashed the rapholem to the side. Angel reflexes saved him from taking a set of claws to the body, but Vin's weight and strength were more than enough to send the angel flying back, barrel rolling through the air and almost landing.
• The angels had their cue. Nearly a thousand sets of angel wings descended upon them, but before they could reach the demons below, the gabriem had their moment. A couple hundred shining arrows shot into the sky, and like shooting stars, they fell upon the land. But they didn't go where the angels aimed them. Mia pulled the burning sky down and down, and the twisting vortex of flame tore the air open. Twisting gale winds grabbed the glowing arrows and scattered them.
• They decorated the mountainside, each glowing arrow sharp enough to sink into the rock, but none landed near Vinicius or the tetrads. Distant demons screamed, some falling to the deadly volley, but the second volley fared no better, hitting random demons that climbed out from their tunnels, but none fell upon Mia or her guardians.
