On the current course, Kang would've slammed into the pond instead of being skewered.
So Vaeghar lunged forward and snapped his maw shut, his fangs closing on where Kang's neck should have been.
But it wasn't.
Because I dove in from the side at the last moment and hooked an arm around his chest, whisking him away.
Vaeghar's jaws clamped down on nothing.
I hit the ground in a low skid, boots gouging to a stop before I released Kang and shoved him hard in the chest.
"Go!" I shouted, pointing toward where Lily and Vince were standing at the cavern's entrance.
Kang nodded once and bolted, steam rising off his partially transformed body as Vince immediately began deploying his buffs on the others.
By the time I turned back, Juliana had joined the fray.
And my God, was I glad I'd invested in her ascension.
She didn't approach Vaeghar to attack so much as she overwrote the distance between them to overwhelm him.
