Against the Demons

As the sheets of flames enveloped me, a surge of adrenaline-fueled my instincts. My soul pulsed with the unyielding strength of Adaptive Resistance, overpowering the Demon Mage's spell. The blinding inferno obscured my vision, but I could sense that the Mirror Sphere had also survived, and I exhaled in relief.

Explosions echoed, each more deafening than the last, but they soon faded into nothingness. The two demons, their widened eyes full of astonishment, hesitated. In the eerie silence that followed, the Mirror Sphere released a discordant vibration, and a torrent of magic ruptured its surface, shooting concentrated jets toward the Mage.

"Impossible!" the mage stammered, taking an instinctive step back and summoning a magic shield.
