Chaos VIII
The ant swiped its limb horizontally, a red line appearing on Xander's torso, intending to bisect him in half.
Yet before it could, he suddenly ducked, and the area behind him was suddenly cleaved apart.
After Aubrey had sent Xander all the relevant information, he more or less understood the mechanics of the red lines.
To put it simply, the lines weren't limited by distance. Rather, once the ant made the swiping motion, they would appear within the desired region in space, and consequently, would cut through their target, negating conventional durability.
It's how the ant was able to slash through the artillery batteries despite being so far away. However, this ability had some limitations.
First, it had to have the target within its field of vision, and considering that ants already had pretty wide fields of view, this wasn't a huge limitation.
Second, it couldn't just make the lines appear with its mind. It had to slash at its target for them to appear.
