The distance here was nearly a hundred meters, so it was better to move closer before attacking. That would not only save Alien Energy but also allow them to hit their targets more precisely.
Well, the current target was enormous. Those bloated insects were much larger than an ordinary person. Still, Ability Users were accustomed to attacking from closer range. Besides, there were simply too many small insects; attacking the large insect was more worthwhile.
