118 Morrigan at Dawn Part 1

"Challenge!" Argonaut yelled. 

The monstrous raven's beady black eyes turned on him. 

"It's not looking at me anymore!" Jaybird announced. "Oh, thank the Lord of D—"

"Get out of there!" Ath3na ordered. 

Jaybird looked up. 

"Damn…" then he threw his falchion backward. "Warp Strike!" 

If it was anyone other than Jaybird or Lyghtning, the giant shadow's talons would have crushed them as it landed on the ground. Luckily, Jaybird's unique ability allowed him to escape danger in the nick of time. 

He reappeared next to Thorminator, Bulldog Alfie, and Serenity in the rear guard. 

"Lord of Death, I thought I was going to die…" he breathed. 

"Dang, dude, not you too!" Bulldog Alfie stated at the same time as he raised his mage rod forward and yelled, "Ray of Light!" 

Like a laser beam, a blast of pure white light exploded out of the rod's crystal tip and pierced into the shadow's head.
