A rustling sound suddenly broke the silence of the dense forest.
Countless black, poisonous insects suddenly emerged from the ground. They resembled ants, but were slightly larger.
A small Wild Beast passing by seemed to sense the danger and quickly turned to flee. But it was a fraction too slow. A single poisonous insect landed on its paw, followed by a thousand… ten thousand…
Soon, the small Wild Beast was enveloped by the black insects, forming a dark cocoon. When the insects dispersed, all that remained on the ground was a skeleton, picked clean…
Finally, the black insects converged beneath a large tree, slowly gathering into the shape of a human before going still.
A moment later, the sound of heavy footsteps rang out. A short, aged figure walked over slowly. Wherever he passed, the poisonous insects scattered rapidly as if they had met their natural predator.
