Chapter 10

I watched the city. Mordera died. I shifted my sensor around to find a fight between the hounds (both my hell and my dark) along with Paanee in the streets with a group of Tuerien’s cockatrices. My hounds were being pressed from all sides.

Paanee spat acid, hitting one in the face. The green-scaled monster girl fell to the ground, her face sizzling, and vanished in a burst of motes. The cockatrices screamed as my hounds pounded. The hellhounds and wildhounds both leaped through the air.

Some hit limp on the ground, paralyzed by the cockatrices’ shouts.

“Lana, help out Paanee’s patrol,” I sent to my favorite movie star. “They’re in the eastern side of the city.”

“On it,” she answered.

Cysgo died a moment later as she lay paralyzed, a cockatrice ripping her throat open. Paanee spat another ball of acid, but the enemy ducked beneath it and sprang at her. Talons flashed and ripped open the front of Paanee’s belly. Her tail swung around and crushed the enemy cockatrice, flinging her back and slamming her into a wall with a bone-crunching impact.

Paanee swayed from her injuries as another cockatrice jumped on her. Paanee bit her foe on the thigh, but the cockatrice ripped out the naga’s throat. I shuddered as Paanee died and returned to my Void Crystal. The enemy that killed her landed on her bird-like feet.

She didn’t stay up long. She fell to the ground, twitching and dying from Paanee’s venomous bite. From the shadows, the enemy adlet joined the fray. The icy dog-like monster girl jumped onto Ci and ripped her apart. I hated watching this.

Lana Fulmine spotted monster girls who needed her help.

She descended to the battle, grimacing as Ci burst into sparks. The enemy adlet jumped and slammed into Hela who was in mid-leap. The pair tumbled and landed on the ground. Hela burst into sparks. The adlet spun and ripped open Du as she went to her sister’s aid. The cockatrices stunned Solodada and Infierna, killing them on the ground.
