Early in the morning, Felix woke up and was greeted by the new additional daily report.
"Bug breach? What is that?"
Felix turned around and looked at the map monitor. On the screen, multiple red dots popped up in the area around him and multiplied. Confused and stunned, Felix yelled, "What the hell is going on?!"
"…Are we the baddies?"
"…"
*RUMBLE*
The earthquake grew more severe. A portion of the forest and the barren plain collapsed due to the movent of underground plates and soil.
Crawling out of the collapsed ground, the lustrous black shell of a giant dung beetle erged. As soon as its face appeared, it shrieked. A dozen bugs followed, screeching as if they could communicate.
"…"
Although the sight of multiple giant bugs seed terrifying, Felix only raised one of his eyebrows and tilted his head. He put the gun in his hand away and pulled out a cigarette. Calmly, he lit it and exhaled deeply.
The bugs imdiately turned toward Felix. But instead of attacking him, they paused.
Suddenly, one of the bugs in front of Felix collapsed and stopped moving. Its body slowly crumbled into dust.
Felix held the lit cigarette between his lips while smirking at Jessica. His index finger pointed at his head, flexing his intelligence.
"Bugs generally live a short lifespan. Even the long-living species can't live longer than humans. Therefore, I only need 10 seconds at most to kill everything here."
Jessica gasped in astonishnt.
"What the hell is that supposed to an?! It DOES snow in Florida, mind you!"
While the two were bickering, the other bugs erged from the ground. As these mutated insects had a keen nose, they instantly detected the scent of Felix and the odd tobacco. Their sharp instincts kicked in, and their minds panicked upon contact with the smoke particles.
So unlucky insects inhaled a mouthful of insecticide air. Instantly, they lay on their backs, flailing their legs and arms, suffering from shock and seizures before dying.
anwhile, many bugs erged outside the affected area. They gave Felix a aningful look before fleeing into the forest. Still, so short-lived insects lost their strength and died while fleeing. Only 10% of the bugs managed to escape.
Felix didn't pursue them. He leaned on the Liberty Scanner and chain-smoked, waiting for the tool to finish its job.

Terra City
The once-flourishing city was covered in flas. Lamias road the streets, dragging every human they found outside while they burned every building they saw. The elderly were murdered left and right, while children and adults were captured.
The city had fallen!
Zhu Xin Ci stood in front of Robert's citadel, watching her champions attempt to break through the front door, which was protected by a magic array. She crossed her arms and yawned, bored of the battle.
Behind the door, Robert and Roland were inside, using the last bit of their mana to reinforce the door's protective magic. Behind them, a hundred civilians and injured soldiers trembled in fear, crying in desperation.
Bored with the result, Zhu Xin Ci shouted, "Give up already! Your weapons did nothing to us! Be nice and accept your fate as our seedbeds! We don't want to kill good mages like you. Human mages have abundant mana suitable to nurture our children. We promise that we won't treat you badly!"
Robert scread back, "Surrender?! Won't treat us badly?! We all know that only a fate worse than death awaits us! We'd rather die fighting!"
Zhu Xin Ci shook her head and sighed. She turned around and looked at i, who was soaked with human blood. The pink Lamia then raised her eyebrows as i was not supposed to be here.
"Didn't I ask you to demolish all human structures and capture the n? What are you doing here?"
i lowered her head. "We have a problem."
"What?"
"One of the buildings has a weird magic barrier around it. None of us can approach or attack it. My warriors tried to break the magic barrier, but they got struck by unknown thunderbolts and died."
"So of us died?"
Zhu Xin Ci smacked her lips. She slithered to the town, "Guide to that building! I want to see it!"
"Yes, your highness."
