His ten-mile warship sat captured in the dock basin above. Beside him, the Vermilion God-Emperor was trapped inside the bronze Dragon-Cauldron. Defeat was certain. Realizing this, the Spirit Domain Late warden reached into his charred robes. He crushed a black glass vial against his chest.
“If I cannot bring this continent to heel, the Star-Marrow shall dissolve this palace into sludge,” Moros snarled. He ignited the emergency Star-Marrow core embedded in his breastplate.
Corrosive grey-violet Qi swelled around Moros’s ribs. It prepared to detonate in half a heartbeat.
Kaelen caught him before he could finish igniting the core.

In a single 241x spatial step, Kaelen Vance appeared directly in front of Warden-Elder Moros. He did not leave even an afterimage on the basalt tiles.
Kaelen raised his slender bamboo fishing rod two inches. He tapped the tip lightly against the center of Moros’s breastplate.
