Get up.
"Thud, thud, thud, thud!"
After one round, all the bugs went flying. Their mangled bodies hit the ground, letting out a series of shrill, chaotic cries.
"Zhee-waa, zhee-waa~"
The bugs' bodies seemed quite light, but their bones were incredibly hard.
I wondered what their bodies were made of. How could they reach three meters tall while weighing only two or three hundred kilograms?
I grabbed one bug by the claw and swung it around. A weight like this was nothing to me now.
I swung the bug in my hand with all my might. The densely packed swarm charged toward me, and I smashed every one I could reach. After a series of "thud, thud, thud, thud" sounds, more than a dozen bugs in front of me had been flattened. The one in my hand had been smashed to pieces too, leaving only the leg I was holding, which could still twitch a couple of times.
Now that I had a tail, I had practically no weak spots. I could cover every direction. My tail lashed wildly from side to side, and any bug it hit was either crippled or killed.
