Demon Lord 5: Silver Crown King
“ —Caine Deathwalker The creature summoned from Nightmare probably didn’t have a soul. It wasn’t true life, just a killing illusion. Knowing this meant fighting it was a huge waste of time which only an idiot would attempt.
“What are you waiting for?” Leona cried out. “Hit it right between the eyes!”
I shifted my grip so my sword hung in my left hand as I angled my body. My right hand swung up toward the woman who still chanted l...ovingly to her black crystal. If she’d had half an ounce of caution, she’d have ducked down that vortex already and escaped. My PX4 Storm popped into my hand. I squeezed the trigger, as the hell-beetle’s death-ray gaze caused my coat to burst into flames. I poured more magic into my Dragon Fire tattoo. It pulled in the fire, absorbing it. I flung that hellfire energy back into the monster’s sensitive eyes. It flinched away, trembled, and collapsed into black billows of smoke, dissolving. The creature’s unmaking was a side effect of the shot I’d made. My explosive round had punched into the woman’s face and shattered her head from the inside, spraying brain, blood, and slivers of skull everywhere. Almost headless, she collapsed to the floor. The large, six-sided crystal she’d held rolled out of her lax hand, clinking across the flagstones. It was the only prize from this encounter since there weren’t any survivors to interrogate.MoreLess
