All around her, godslaves died and the Legion cheered.
Heva stared, astounded, as sleek Manaships dropped from a hole in the afternoon sky that resembled nothing more than a patch of starlit night. She leaned over the gunwale, Skills momentarily forgotten, as a wave of water preceded the ship, dropping from above and washing away the monsters that clogged the heavens.
"Stop gawking and fight!" Merk screeched, ...

"Damn it!”
Wendell's fist crashed against the barrier. A flashing cascade of light erupted from the impact, but the barrier didn't so much as quiver under his mountainous limb.
“We were so close!”
Vess pressed her gauntlet to the invisible wall, and Beef could see her shoulder bunch as she shoved. She didn’t even draw a flash from it. “I und...

Felix marshaled his Will and Intent before thrusting his Affinity against the sounding strings of the Sonata of Dominance. He took command of water and air and the boiling clouds stilled for several hundred feet above him, their bloody coloration draining only slightly. With a cry of effort, Felix shoved them away. The Bloodstorm didn't stop so much as split, revealing an unbroken blue beyond it.
The lightning faded...

Undine Grace is at level 99!
Evie twisted away from the strike of the Shadow Leech, its circular row of razor-sharp teeth snapping a fingerspan away from her outstretched leg. She kicked at it, the mass of her chain fed into her heel, and it’s blind head split wide open.

The sound of explosions from the surface was muffled, echoing through the sewers as distant, unintelligible noise. Beef, Hollow, Archie, Yin and Vess all trod through the convoluted tunnels, trailed by the Multipede and its bellyful of Exults—all of them following the broad back of the Lizard.
My dad. Alive and here. Beef still couldn't believe it. Relief and a sour feeling he didn’t have a nam...

Before the roar ever faded, they were flying off toward the blockade. The Chimera poured forward, projectiles of wind, lightning, and water meeting the godslaves that crossed their path. Winds whipped as they crossed the skies. Felix, on the back of Pit, flew just behind them, marshalling the elements within his chest. Sonata of Dominance rolled through his core space, singing a wild song.
“Knights!” Roland shouted ab...

Felix had lost the Hierei.
The bastard had put up a smokescreen almost instantly as the command tower fell, vanishing into a burst of light and phosphorescent clouds. Hundreds of godslaves and mortal minions had fallen onto Felix. Killing them all had been simple, but it had given the Hierei time to vanish into the streets.
Felix tracked him now, hunting him by the traces of light magic across the city a...

The hinges froze on the third gate of Amaranth. With a mighty blow, the Berserkers shattered it. The Twins' Champion followed shortly after, howling in agony as giants harried its sides with cold iron and blood-red ice. The dual-headed Ettin Wolf leaped back, snarling at them all as the Paladin atop it swung his two-handed bludgeon.
Giants fell back, their blood red ice cracked by the Paladin’s incredible Strength. Evie...

Vess, Lizard, and Titan saw the attack the moment it happened. Archie leapt from the high-raised shoulders, phasing once more through her light armor, before landing with a stumble.
"No!" Gabby heaved against the Lizard, but the gargantuan Unbound wrapped a single hand around her broad shoulders and laid his burning sword against her gorget. She couldn't best his incredible Strength. "That idiot!"

The Multipede slipped from the earth, as silent as a shadow on the far side of the squat tower.

Risen Inquisitors and Plaguerats shot forth, lumbering over the reservoir, getting within twenty feet of the Paladins before they were spotted.

Inquisitors and Plaguerats shuffled behind Beef, clinging to the back of the Multipede at his command. He had taken control of thirty or so of the corpses, turning them into his Risen under his direct command. The Inquisitors were battered and bruised, their armor broken in a number of places, but he had coated them in chitin that he’d stamped with simplistic sigaldry for durability. The Plaguerats, howev...

"Cling tight together!" Archie shouted above the din of battle. Ahead of them, the wards had gone down. The godslaved minions were going wild, but they could not gain traction against the immense bulk of Beef's Multipede. That and its speed were the only thing going for the Risen, at least at the moment—its hide was tough enough, but a few of the minions had landed passing blows that cracked its exoskeleton in more than a few place...

The Manaships were the first through the shattered wards. Volcanic Rain and Kinetic Shockstorms launched from the decks of their thirty galleons, destroying the minions below before hitting the Shining Wall's battlements. Hierocratic soldiers fell back beneath the onslaught, their defensive powers turning aside pieces of the Manacannons, but they were unable to defend the streets and buildings that burst into infernos or collap...

Manaships clashed in the air just outside Amaranth, and the fog-strewn battlefield was swiftly becoming a no-man’s land.
“Kinetic Shockstorm!”
Spears of blue force tore through barriers and hulls with equal ease, punching into the Hierocratic cutters like battering rams. Even down on the field, Felix could identify Darius’ commander’s voice from the flagship. The prows of all the ships were fitted with two...

Hierei Lar Kodal stood watch atop the shining walls of Amaranth as the godslave minions flooded the Fiend's position. Beside him, filling the battlements with the righteous and pure Light, were rank upon rank of white-armored Inquisitors. They were those that remained faithful to the Pathless despite his death. Faithful to the Light that would not extinguish, no matter the dark.
Faithful to the Hierophant, ...

Abyssal Skein enveloped them both as they slipped from their room. Felix had been granted the most decadent of apartments in the Water Palace, situated in the highest tower. Which meant he had access to balconies on every side.
His Shadows patrolled the rooms, walking the halls in an effort to protect their emperor. He almost felt bad for deceiving them, but no one could know he had left. They slipped out into the a...

Aja Nadir was bright and shining. The restored buildings were painted white, but many were built with strips of a translucent stone that now shone an unearthly green. Blue motes were everywhere, clustered together over streets like lanterns, until the roadways were as well-lit as any modern city. The place was still bereft of any sign of habitation, yet looking over it now, Felix couldn...

Primordial Urge? Felix frowned. Those are two separate things.
“The stench of mortal kin.”
The figure stood, chains clinking. They appeared to be a man with pale hair and paler skin, but there his resemblance to a normal Human stopped. His limbs were far longer than normal and each was clad in jagged, rusted armor, though his head was bare. Only a tunic covered the rest of him, wrapped in ...

They found the Bone Gate down another short hallway. Like the Flesh Gate, it stretched across the entirety of the tunnel, made of numerous bones that looked like the shoulder blades of enormous beasts. Spines, five feet wide, extended from the floor to the ceiling. Each vertebra was thick and blunt, wrapped around their middles by interlocking rib bones. It looked sturdy, far more so than the Fle...

They reached the port city faster than Felix had anticipated. The massive island, floating in the night sky, was filled with blue motes that illuminated it like a halo of blue-white light, similar to his own lightning. As his fleet of Manaships drew closer, Felix was struck by the sheer size of the island. While many of the floating rocks they had encountered were quite large, this one was akin to a mountain range. At its very ...
