With a muffled boom, the Night Vigil Deity staggered back several steps and crashed into the mountainside.
As the flames and smoke cleared, the Night Vigil Deity's chest and abdomen were charred black, with two gaping, scorched holes punched through his body.
The Night Vigil Deity raised his head, staring at the fighter jet streaking through the sky, and spat out a sphere of moonlit light, which gathered into a beam and shot skyward.
The jet in the sky tilted slightly and easily dodged the attack.
Two more missiles fell; the Night Vigil Deity roared in fury, spewing two more light spheres. They traced lines through the sky and instantly hit those two missiles.
With two booming explosions, the jet soared sharply upward and vanished into the clouds.
Enraged, the Night Vigil Deity looked skyward and unleashed furious blasts of light, but it was already futile.
Wen Yan watched from a distance.
