Whoosh!
The spatial ship descended through the thick, smog-choked atmosphere of Sector 9-Vex. This was a rogue mining world in the Ashford Belt, technically within Churchill territory but far enough from the Thirteen Worlds that the Vorn name held little weight here. Massive drills bored into the scorched earth, and towering refineries belched black smoke into the sky.
Clank. Hiss. The ship landed on a remote, dusty platform.
Kael stepped out, flanked by Vyra and a male Pillar Knight named Darian, whose cultivation had recently reached the Late Spirit Soul realm. Vyra herself had grown rapidly, now at the Rank 6 Spirit Soul realm. With Kelvin and Yuki both pushing toward the Origin Realm, Kael's forces were becoming a terrifying juggernaut.
Kael reached into his storage ring and pulled out the Mask of a Thousand Faces.
FWOOSH!
