Chapter 849: Stand Fast

Almost...

Coraline just needed only seconds more to complete the spell circles in her mind... 

"Ha HAH!!" Howler shrieked. "YEH, YEAH, YEAHHHHH!!!" 

The Coral Boy had been cranky all evening, itching for some kind of violent outlet for his machismo. 

He finally got his wish-- which was surprisingly to Coraline's advantage. 

Howler performed a standing leap, soaring through the air farther than a guy of his size and stature had a right to. 

"Now you'z UNDEFENDED, B*TCH!!!" He shouted as he brought his axe down towards the angel's exposed backside. 

"Che," The angel stood up with a scoff. 

He knocked Howler aside with a casual backsweep of his wing. 

THAT-- that didn't make ANY sense! His feathers looked soft... and they ruffled individually when they moved, but it was like they were made of metal! 

Coraline needed to put him down before he could do any lethal damage.
