The ocean did not smell like salt anymore, it smelled like boiled iron and charred flesh.

Logan gripped the wooden rail of the bow so hard the oak creaked beneath his palms. Through the rising mist, the royal harbor of Alistair looked like a graveyard of floating splinters. Dozens of pirate sloops and heavy warships were burned down to the waterline, their blackened ribs sticking out of the gray water like snapped bone. Smoke rolled across the surface in thick, suffocating sheets.

    The heavy purple sky inside the cavern collapsed into a million sharp glass splinters under the weight of his gaze.High Mage Vane stumbled backward across the cracked marble floor, his long silver beard trembling as he held both hands high, pouring every drop of his remaining magic power into the massive gravity field above their heads. The dark purple light hummed like a thousand angry hornets, pressing down on the stone pillars until deep cracks split the solid granite.You cannot defeat the supreme magic of the imperial court, Vane screamed, his voice cracking with wild, desperate panic as sixteen elite shadow mages formed a tight circle around him. Increase the pressure now. Crush his bones before he steps out of that circle.The sixteen shadow mages slammed their heavy iron staffs into the ground at the exact same second. A dense wall of dark purple gravity energy surged downward, aiming straight for Logan’s head like a falling iron anvil.Logan did not even ra

    The air around his body stopped burning, but the ground beneath his feet began to float.Vivienne gasped, taking a fast step back as a dozen jagged granite boulders, each weighing several tons, rose silently into the air around Logan without a single touch of his hands. A soft, golden ring of light hovered around his shoulders, pulsing in perfect rhythm with his calm breathing.Logan, what are you doing with those rocks? Kassia asked, her eyes wide as she gripped her bow, watching a five-ton stone slab spin slowly above her head like a light wooden leaf.I am not touching them with magic, Logan said, his voice quiet, clear, and perfectly human, yet echoing with a deep, vibrating resonance that made the air hum. I can feel every grain of dust in this valley. I can feel the weight of the air, the stone, and the wind.His skin looked smooth and normal, completely free of the dark scales that used to cover his face during battle. Yet, as he raised his right hand casually

    The bedrock beneath their boots cracked open, throwing wild fountains of blinding white fire sixty feet into the air.High Mage Vane stumbled backward against a fallen pillar, his silk robes catching fire as the entire cavern floor began to tilt like a sinking warship. Stay away from me, Vane screamed, holding up his broken staff as black smoke poured from its cracked tip. I command you to halt under the laws of the imperial court.There are no imperial laws in this deep vault, High Mage, Logan’s voice boomed, sounding like two massive granite mountains grinding together in a storm.Logan took another heavy step across the splitting marble floor. His entire body was wrapped in jagged obsidian armor, and the crimson veins pulsing across his broad chest shone so brightly they turned the shadows into pure red light.Vivienne, run to the upper ledge right now, Kassia shouted from the high stone archway, dropping her longbow and reaching down to grab Vivienne’s arm. The c

    Her body hit the hard stone floor with a violent crack that echoed across the entire underground cavern.Vivienne gasped for breath, her hands clawing uselessly at the cold marble as High Mage Vane pressed his dark staff downward, flooding her back with hundreds of pounds of invisible gravity magic. Her wooden staff rolled out of her reaching fingers, its soft blue light flickering out against the dust.Look at her struggle, dragon boy, Vane mocked, his face twisted into a cruel, triumphant grin as he stood on the edge of the stone ledge. One more inch of downward pressure and her ribs will shatter like dry twigs. Is this how your story ends?Stop it, Vane, Logan roared, taking a fast step forward, his hand tightening around the heavy hilt of his Vanguard blade.Do not move another inch, Vane warned, his dark eyes flashing with lethal intent as he pressed his staff down another fraction. You take one step toward me and I break her spine right here. You think your sca

    The rock above their heads shattered like glass, dropping two tons of heavy granite into the churning golden pool.Vivienne scrambled backward on her knees, her hands shielding her face as giant stone blocks splashed violently into the boiling liquid light. High above the dust cloud, a massive dark purple circle flared to life across the entire cavern ceiling.Down here, now, High Mage Vane’s voice boomed from the darkness above, vibrating with crushing magic power.Before Vivienne could raise her wooden staff, an invisible weight slammed into her shoulders like a falling mountain. She gasped as her knees cracked against the hard stone floor, her chest pressed flat against the dusty rock. The crushing pressure was so intense she could barely draw a shallow breath, her ribs groaning under the sheer force.I cannot move, Kassia screamed from twenty feet away, her longbow pinned beneath her body as the same heavy spell pinned her flat against the granite ledge.Eigh

    The white-hot blade stopped less than an inch from High Mage Vane’s throat, held back by a thick wall of purple gravity magic that hummed like a trapped hornet.You think you are so clever, dragon boy, Vane sneered, his silver beard shaking as he held both hands out to maintain the heavy magical shield. You think this entire siege was about taking your life.Logan pressed his Vanguard blade forward, his black scales glowing with intense crimson light as the sheer strength of his arms began to crack Vane’s barrier. Why else bring an army of shadow mages to the deepest vault in the north?Because killing you would be a complete waste of raw power, Vane laughed, his dark eyes widening with a wild, fanatic glare. Look at you. You survived the unrefined pool. You anchored the divine core to your very soul. You are standing here as the first true living Dragon God in a thousand years.Then why try to smother the pool with anti-magic rods? Vivienne asked, stepping up behind
