Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.

Chapter 93 Annihilation! The Initial Application of the Zerg Swarm's Power

"What?" The Skaven snakemen who were about to rush forward were all shocked when they saw Wayne's actions.

What exactly is going on with this bizarre swarm ability? They appear suddenly and then disappear just as suddenly, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, making them impossible to guard against.

Furthermore, it can launch those fine, deadly stingers, the toxins attached to them causing extensive corrosion upon even slight contact with the skin.

At this moment, the Skaven snakemen around Wayne, who were looking at each other, suddenly stopped attacking.

Instead, they began to slowly retreat.

They hid in the woods behind them and fell silent.

Now, the surrounding woods are quiet; apart from the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves, there is no other sound.

Those Skaven snakemen seem to have vanished.

Inside the forest, the Skaven snakemen moved slowly through the surrounding woods.

The scales on the skin beneath my feet seemed to have a magical effect.

Upon landing, they wriggled strangely, so that they made no sound as they walked through the surrounding woods.

In a short time, the trees dispersed from the surrounding woods, encircling Wayne and forming a circular encirclement.

At the same time, he held claws in his hands, the sharp nails gleaming with a dark light, lurking in all directions of the woods surrounding Wayne, like fangs lurking in the shadows.

They are waiting to unleash their final, fatal blow.

When the time comes, if an attack is launched suddenly, they will all be mobilized, and even if the opponent has three heads and six arms, they will not survive.

Yellow-eyed snake eyes stared intently at Wayne.

What they didn't know was that, behind their encirclement, in all directions, lay an armed stinging fly.

Quietly lying in the dense foliage, it monitored their every move within its field of vision.

At the same time, the image was fed back into Wayne's mind.

They thought their actions were silent, but in reality, they had nowhere to hide under the surveillance network of the swarm that Wayne had spread.

The locations where all the Skaven Snakemen were hiding were clearly visible in their field of vision and on their surveillance footage.

However, when I saw these Skaven snakemen moving in the forest, their footsteps touched the ground, yet they moved silently.

Wayne couldn't help but show a flicker of emotion.

It seems... this ability is a racial trait?

When a footstep lands on the ground, the scales on the footstep move, thus reducing the sound of the footstep.

They couldn't even sense their approach.

Could it be that... the knights guarding those Redstone outposts were silently approached and eliminated by them using this method of movement?

Wayne couldn't help but speculate.

At this moment, the Skaven snakemen, who were lurking and hiding in the surrounding woods, seemed to feel that it was time to make their move.

So one of the Skaven snakemen was the first to make a move, rushing out of the nearby woods with its five claws clenched, aiming for Wayne's face.

At the same time, a forked, jet-black snake tongue protruded from its tongue, and a sinister glint flashed in its yellow eyes.

But at the same moment he launched his attack from the woods, Wayne seemed to have already observed the direction and movements of his attack.

He had already taken the initiative; the moment he burst out of the woods, he had already sidestepped to avoid him.

So it looked like a bizarre scene where Wayne moved to the left first, and then the Skaven snakeman deliberately attacked the empty space next to Wayne.

"What?"

The Skaven snake-man, who had just grabbed at nothing, was stunned. He hadn't expected that his attack would completely miss its target.

What greeted him was a sudden swarm of thorny tongues that swept out from behind, wrapping around his neck and forcefully pulling him backward.

At the same time, he plunged his sharp Hunter's Dagger into the Skaven snakeman's chest.

Pfft—!

Foul-smelling blood splattered out, and Wayne kicked the Skaven snakeman's corpse hard, sending it rolling to the side.

His eyes were filled with astonishment and resentment as he lay dying, wondering why his attack seemed to have been anticipated by his opponent, who dodged it in advance.

They were able to move silently through the forest thanks to their innate racial abilities, so why was this guy able to detect them so clearly...?

His question would obviously never be answered, and the life force in his yellow snake eyes gradually dissipated.

At the same moment this Skaven serpent-man died, all the surrounding Skaven serpent-men rushed out of the forest.

Attacks came from all directions towards Wayne in the center.

Wayne snorted coldly. He already knew the locations of all the Skaven snakemen in advance through the surrounding swarm of scout insects.

Therefore, they knew the direction and location of their attack by heart, and the thorny tongues on their shoulders spewed out sharp blades, indicating that they were already prepared.

The moment they emerged from the woods, they swept past, their blades whistling as they cut across the faces of the Skaven snakemen.

"Whoa—!"

A series of piercing screams rang out as Wayne controlled the thorny tongues to attack their eyes.

This is the most vulnerable part of all living things!

So he proceeded to slash their eyes, and their eyeballs fell to the ground with a thud.

Immediately afterwards, Wayne waved his hand.

A dense swarm of insects appeared in the area in front of the palm, hundreds of insects forming a dense giant hand that suddenly grabbed several Skaven snakemen in front of it.

The buoyancy of the swarm lifted them abruptly into the air, while Wayne issued commands through the Hive Network, manipulating the swarm to change formation and spread out.

A swarm storm formed, engulfing the Skaven snakemen who were still in the air.

"Swarm Storm, Strangulate!"

Wayne said coldly.

Suddenly, the swarm of insects that enveloped the Skaven snakemen in the sky began to spin and fly.

It forms a dense storm of insects, while simultaneously spewing out sharp black spikes from its abdomen.

Presenting a centripetal pattern, along the tangent of the spiral trajectory, it draws inward-contracting arcs, "strangling" the target area at the center of the vortex.

With a loud bang.

When these Skaven serpents, who had been thrown into the air, slammed back to the ground due to gravity, they were all now lifeless.

The scales on its body were riddled with holes and covered in large patches of black corrosion, making it almost impossible to find a complete human form.

The Skaven snakemen that Wayne was chasing after have now all been dealt with.

After the battle ended, Wayne didn't even glance at the corpses on the ground, but turned and rushed off in another direction to support Kalai.
