wall of force slammed me through the air — just like the trick Kronos had pulled

on the bridge. I sailed backward about three hundred yards and smashed into the

ground. If it hadn't been for my new invulnerability, I would've broken every

bone in my body.

 

I got to my feet, groaning. "I really hate it when you Titans do that."

 

Hyperion closed on me with blinding speed.

 

I concentrated on the water, drawing strength from it.

 

Hyperion attacked. He was powerful and fast, but he couldn't seem to land a

blow. The ground around his feet kept erupting in flames, but I kept dousing it

just as quickly.

 

"Stop it!" the Titan roared. "Stop that wind!"

 

I wasn't sure what he meant. I was too busy fighting.

 

Hyperion stumbled like he was being pushed away. Water sprayed his face,

stinging his eyes. The wind picked up, and Hyperion staggered backward.

 

"Percy!" Grover called in amazement. "How are you doing that?"

 

Doing what? I thought.
