Peril The demon roared in pain and fury, then breathed a mass of green-black flame from its fanged mouth. In an instant, every plant within forty meters died simply from being near that fire. The already churned earth dried, blackened, and withered. I lay at the center of that unnatural blaze, and the creature’s breath hit my stomach like a heavy punch. My skin did not burn with the normal pain of heat. Instead, my lungs felt as if they had been set on fire, and the pain spread rapidly…-

The “Invited” Demons She had watched Cheng Rui go to and from the shopping mall, and she had been keeping track of him throughout the earlier battle as well, just as she had the day before, and the day before that. The idiot had nearly gotten himself killed when he insisted on entering the tunnel with her, simply because his armor could not move properly in such a cramped space. Ever since then, Chi Li had sworn she would never leave him behind again. He was the first person with whom she had…

A Bitter Fight, Part II Aside from a raised bulge at the point of impact, and perhaps a quarter-centimeter of displacement, the tower was almost completely intact. Then again, a solid steel pillar thick enough to let a large monster sit on top of it was bound to be tough. The demon on top roared threateningly. But since Chi Li had trapped its magic and I was flying beyond its reach, it had no way to retaliate. I gave it the middle finger—and since it was not wearing pants, it was very…

A Bitter Fight, Part I After dropping Cheng Rui outside the shopping mall, I flew back as fast as I could to the place where we had previously turned the park into a disaster zone. Normally, twenty seconds might not mean much. In a fierce battle, however, one second was more than enough time to be stabbed or shot several times. And we had left Chi Li alone in the middle of hundreds of enemies. Fortunately, the enemy ground forces had not yet recovered from the combination of Cheng Rui’s…

Emergency Repairs A horde of zombies tumbled down the stairs from the upper level of the shopping mall, the fall doing them almost no real damage. Dozens, then hundreds clawed their way out of the pile of corpses, slowly forming a hideous wall of walking dead. They gnashed and reached, desperate to devour the living. Cheng Rui’s Mark III twin laser turrets tore through these unarmored enemies with ease. The kilowatt-class laser beams were powerful enough to melt through several centimeters of…

We Had to Split Up For an instant, the world slowed. The fireballs and I seemed to be moving at the pace of marathon runners, while the arrows in flight were almost crawling. Everything around me hung on the edge of stillness. That rare sluggishness gave me a desperately needed sliver of time to think, because fighting the way I usually did clearly was not going to work here. On the nearest stretch of ground in the square, Cheng Rui’s turrets and oversized handguns were pouring laser fire…

Demons on Chains Details that had once been too small or too fast to notice now stood out sharply. Even with undead and monsters, I could perceive the tiny expressions and muscle tensions that appeared in the instant before they aimed or fired. Because the whole body possessed more inertia than a single limb or finger, those subtle changes were easier to catch. Even monsters had to look at a target before moving or aiming—at least, monsters without extrasensory abilities did. And now I…

The Thirteenth-Generation Mecha Neither Cheng Rui nor I knew why. If things got worse, we would certainly do something about it. Until then, it seemed better not to press. Ever since the invasion began, every one of us had been under enormous pressure. Remaining sane at all was already something of a miracle. “Magic isn’t like energy because it can be created from nothing, and can create things from nothing,” the budding mage continued explaining as we passed through broken, empty streets…

Fighting Side by Side Again A metal bird-monster came crashing down from above, its enormous shadow swallowing the street. Before the creature itself fully appeared, the first thing to arrive was a terrifying rain of exploding metal feathers. The feathers slammed into the street like dozens of grenades, gouging small, hideous craters into the pavement. Countless fragments of metal sprayed outward, riddling everything in their path. Windows shattered with a cascade of glass. Cracks split across…

A Low-Cost War of Attrition Gargoyles, the favored scouts of the Mavis army, possessed several unique advantages. These winged stone statues, given life through magic, were smaller even than children, and dark mason apprentices could summon them in great numbers. Their toughness and small size made them extremely difficult to destroy with projectiles, while their density allowed them to fly freely even under very poor natural weather conditions. The newest versions of the gargoyles had been…
