Without a moment's hesitation, Lynn flung open his Coffin Beyond Time.
In an instant.
Torrent after silver torrent burst out of it, brimming with frenzied hatred and malice. Without a word, they shot off in every direction almost the moment they emerged.
Clearly, he had received far too much extraordinary attention in there.
"Trying to run?!"
Azephala instantly thrust out her hand, tides surging and running dry.
Countless erosion marks surged into a pitch-black cage around them, blocking that portion of Ether's escape.

Azephala looked up and
