Missiles and deadly rays were exchanged in a brief, desperate struggle.
Driving through the city, they watched as deadly rays crackled over the buildings and hoped they could make it to the capital without being killed.
They knew it must be somewhere near, and feared that at any second it might materialize before them with its deadly rays.
That would have been a short and unmerry death to any human but the deadly rays seemed to like him.
Panting, he gathered the dirt around and over him, blotting out the first deadly rays of the rising sun.
The few seconds it took their nervous systems to recover from the blast left them exposed to the deadly rays from above.
Suddenly they could feel more than see a kind of shade, as if something huge had come over them, blocking off the hidden sun's deadly rays.
Their own defence screens rendered them immune to the deadly rays.
Then he would remove the burnoose, walk out into its deadly rays, and let it burn him to death.
The man used machines which could open up holes in our atmosphere allowing deadly cosmic rays from space to carry out his threats.
