Kael's eyes widened. He thrust his palm forward—Universal Push exploding outward with enough force to shatter stone.

Kael's other hand rose. A massive Pulsar orb—fully charged launched upward into the canopy. It disappeared into the sky, a black-purple sphere vanishing among the burning branches.
Cassius glanced up, then back at Kael. A mocking smile curled his lips.
"Missing already? Disappointing."
The blade was at Kael's throat before he could react.
Kael threw his hand up again—Universal Push, point-blank, every ounce of force he could muster.
