"What?"
A high-level demon jumped onto the wall of the ruined city. It could feel that those special demons in the distant mountains were still alive, but it also fell into a violent or anxious mood, and not only launched powerful range attacks.
It's just that the thickness of the shadow is so exaggerated, and it is constantly blocked, so they can't see the mountains here.
Another high-level demon with wings fell from the sky, holding two living locusts in his hands. One was about thirty centimeters long, and the other was so exaggerated that it was almost half a meter long, almost the same length as the demon's palm.
Apparently it had just approached the shadow and captured two "prisoners".
Hearing the question from the higher-level demon below, the flying higher-level demon who was still staring at the locusts also looked puzzled.
"Is it some kind of bug from this world? Why aren't these low-level creatures without any intelligence frightened by the aura of fear emitted by the high-level demons?"
“Click…click…click…”
The two locusts' limbs with exoskeleton spikes and bodies kept twisting, and their jaws kept opening and closing, trying to turn over and bite the demon, and as their jaws collided, a crisp sound was made.
“Click…click…click…ding…”
The devil put one of his fingernails into the mouth of the larger locust, and immediately a sound like the clanging of metal was heard. Then, as the fingernail stirred, the insect's jaw shattered and liquid spilled out, and half of the insect's head was shattered.
"It's quite ferocious, but it doesn't have any special abilities."
The high-level demons below stared into the distance.
"But this number is a bit exaggerated. Can this world really support such a large number of people?"
There are already dozens of medium-sized demons standing on the city walls, and the city is still a scene of demons wreaking havoc.
On the other side of the mountains, in addition to the dark clouds that always covered it, there were other shadows flying around from all directions.
The high-level demons could sense that the power of the demons in the mountains had not subsided, but they did not react as violently as before.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
A transparent energy ripple enveloped a hilltop with a dozen demons hiding inside. Locusts swarmed all around and crashed into the protective spell, making it impossible to see what was happening one meter away.
But these restless and anxious demons knew very well that there were dozens of demons on the hilltop, but except for these dozen or so, the others had no response.
Apart from the fact that there are always locusts passing by here, in fact, as the insect tide moves, all the edible things on the hill have been eaten up.
After continuously flying on their way, the entire swarm of insects is now starving. It is not simply because they are affected by the consciousness of the Mother World, but because they will do anything to get a bite of food.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
This noisy sound kept getting closer, and many demons in the city stopped because higher-level demons had already issued a warning.
In fact, the people on the top of the ridge in the city have not died out yet. Many of them are hiding in the corners like rats, being hunted and slaughtered by the demons who are playing with them, feeling the despair.
It quickly got dark, and many demons narrowed their eyes, some took it completely lightly, and some roared to the sky.
The swarm of insects in the sky did not swoop down immediately, but continued to fly farther and farther away. The shadow covering the ruined city quickly changed from half a block to a whole block, and then covered the entire surrounding land.
The sky gradually changed from cloudy to dark, and finally turned into a pitch-black night, which made some intelligent demons feel inexplicably depressed.
Buzz~~~
The sound of flapping wings suddenly became sharper. Although they could not see it, the demons felt that the flying insects in the sky suddenly swooped down towards the ground of the ruined city at this moment.
This shows that the unintelligent insects mentioned by the higher demons may have some kind of collective intelligence as compared to the individual insects.
“Roar!!!! You’re looking for death!!”
“Boom~” “Boom~” “Boom~”…
Some powerful demons took the lead and the hellfire burning on their bodies brought light back to the city shrouded in darkness.
AoE attacks of all kinds exploded with countless sparks, and the sky seemed to be raining, with living and dead insects falling one after another...
"Bang……"
A demon's six limbs swung out a sharp attack, tearing the air apart. At least hundreds of locusts of different sizes around it were either directly shattered or split in half.
"roar!!!"
This kind of insect is very vulnerable to demons. Even the weakest demon can be killed by a dozen or even dozens with just one attack.
But this kind of insect is also very ferocious, so ferocious that it is unreasonable. Even if dozens or hundreds of them die, ten or a hundred times more of them will attack again the next moment.
Without any special attack capabilities, many low-level demons were covered with insects almost instantly.
“Bang” “Bang” “Bang”…
Buildings exploded one after another, and a four or five meter tall beast-shaped demon sprinted at high speed, trying to get rid of the countless bugs on its body in this way. However, as it sprinted along the way, even the air was almost covered with bugs, and the resistance to moving forward was greater than in water.
"roar……"
“Creak…Creak…Creak…Creak…Creak…”
A tingling sensation spread all over the body, and one could feel countless insect jaws struggling to tear at one's thick and solid skin, sometimes accompanied by a slight stinging pain.
This tiny bug can be easily killed, but it makes the demon very angry. The roars of similar demons can be heard everywhere around, and from time to time, flames from higher-level demons can be seen.
The smell of burnt protein filled the entire ruined city.
“Woo…”
“Puff”, “Puff”, “Puff”, “Puff”…
There was a high-speed tearing sound approaching, and countless insects were like balloons being squeezed and burst. The wind pressure alone cleared a large area of the surrounding space.
“Bang” “Bang”…
With two loud impact sounds, the powerful demon collided with the other two demons who were like headless flies.
Boom~~
As if frightened, a ball of dark red hellfire suddenly lit up, and a larger group of insects were eliminated. The surrounding area of dozens of meters in front, behind, and up and down suddenly became spacious again.
The low-level beast-shaped demon was also able to see the surroundings clearly. The powerful demon was naturally unharmed, but his breathing was a little heavy, and sparks were everywhere in his mouth and nose.
The demons that were hit fell in the broken corner of the wall more than ten meters away, struggling to stand up.
In the light of the fire, those insects, some charred and some alive, still entangled in their bodies were reluctant to leave, but only for two or three seconds.
With the sound of "buzz buzz buzz...", countless locusts pounced on the fallen demons, covering their seven or eight meter long bodies with a thick layer of armor. The original shape of the demons was almost invisible, forming a pile of insect mountains.
“Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle…”
This scene made the beast-shaped demon inexplicably terrified, and even the powerful demon next to him growled.
The beast-shaped demon suddenly felt a sharp pain in its neck, and suddenly realized something, it started running frantically. In its sight, it saw countless shadowy insect bodies swooping towards it, and the flames of hellfire also dimmed under the overwhelming swooping of those insects.
Over the ruined city.
Brush...brush...brush...
“Bang” “Bang” “Bang”…
Many demons flew into the sky, whether they were using wings or had their own special powers or magic, they all flew into the sky frantically regardless of anything, and finally "blew up" the dark clouds of the insect swarm and rose above the "dark clouds".
"Damn it!!! How many of these things are there!!!"
A high-level demon twisted its body wildly while its body surface became extremely hot. It used the hellfire without any waste, and used the heat from the high temperature surface to burn off the locusts that were biting its skin tightly.
Other demons also used their own methods to tear off the "insect clothes" on their bodies.
Some demons of lower ranks suddenly discovered that many parts of their bodies had been bitten and had their skin discolored, and some even had wounds. Each wound was torn shockingly, and a certain amount of flesh was lost. Even though it was insignificant compared to the entire body, what if they stayed in the pile of insects forever?
Some demons looked at the insect swarm from the air. All they could see were black swarms of insects. Some in the distance were even higher than they were.
"It's simply impossible to kill them all!!"
A high-level demon's muscles bounced and he looked very angry.
How do they raise insects of this size? Will this world really not destroy the living space of other creatures?
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
The dense swarm of insects below actually reacted. Dense swarms of locusts gathered together, like huge arrows and tentacles, stretching towards the demon that jumped out above.
Several high-level demons looked at each other and hesitated from the idea of using high-level spells. With such a large number of them, it would only be a waste of magic power.
"Let's go and explain the situation to Lord Donibal!!"
Brush~~
Flapping their wings or bursting with magic power, the demons in the air instantly rushed in one direction. Without the resistance of the insect wall, their speed far exceeded that of the locusts, and they soon left the pursuing insects behind.
As for the demons in the city ruins below, it’s up to them whether they dig holes or rush out of the swarm’s range!
If they cannot escape, or do not have the wisdom to find a way to alleviate the situation, the consequences that await them can be seen from those demons that have begun to show scars.
