I placed a wall of lightning around me, Lightning Edict holding the shape of a diamond in my head as I imposed it into the walls, a brief flash of engraving resonated in the air as I wrote a dozen scriptrs of Harden on the walls, all that was all the time I had for defense… and it almost did not matter as the two demons tore their way through the wall of lightning, barely slowing down.
The left one's wing came down like a falling roof, and I Stormstepped clear a half-second before it caved the apex where I'd stood, black stone shattering. The stone fragments hung in the air for a moment before they zipped back to their roots and the surface of the pyramid became flawless again.
I barely glanced at this miracle of magic as the Thul on the right raked its claws across my back before I twisted, opening me to the ribs, and I felt the cold of the thinning air get into the wound.
