The residential district had been particularly hard hit even before she arrived, but now it was a shrinking ring of relatively intact buildings surrounded by rubble.
With her senses mediated through the vast store of qi she'd imbued the very land with, she knew when the enemy advanced closer and closer to the school building that thousands had chosen to shelter in.
She ran from one crisis to the next, one squad of foreign soldiers to the next, and despite every battle failing to take much of a toll on her at all, there were just too many, and she could feel it, every time someone died, the force pulling what had been their spiritual foundations away and upward, towards the roiling, consuming mass that grew slightly with every death.
