The beetles covered the sky. Their bodies, as wide as a coconut, were round and shiny. They glistened in the morning sun as Oliver flew over.
Simultaneously, hundreds of beady eyes shifted and turned to face Oliver. Within them was unhidden blood lust.
Oliver smirked when he saw that.
His body moved through the air like an arrow. The five golden tentacles behind him twisted and compressed into a thin, sharp knife.
As the bloody scent attracted the beetles, Oliver pierced the beetle cloud.
The five tentacles twisted and collided with every beetle near him, chopping off their wings, legs and guts as he moved through, losing speed.
Blood splattered outwards from the body of the beetle.
Oliver touched it with his mana and brought it instantly towards his body.
He was replenishing his blood sac while swatting and crushing the beetles.
"Ha ha ha…this is fun." Oliver laughed.
His rampant action made the beetle angry, and their eyes turned red as they swarmed towards him.
