The head covered in compound eyes turned toward him. A mental fluctuation reached him:
There were no words.
Not because it couldn't speak. Because it couldn't be bothered.

Behind the net, its enormous maw lined with sharp teeth opened, and its entire body became a streak of blood-colored light charging toward him.
