The flying insects caught by gravity struggled desperately, trying to break free of the suppression of Gravity Magic.
But Gravity Magic cast with the Power of the Earth was far more effective than the earth spell Earthbind.
Earthbind created a onefold gravitational field within an area.
It could make enemies touching the ground struggle to move, leaving them to endure the caster's relentless bombardment.
A Shaman's earth totem could produce this effect.
Gravity Magic worked on a different principle.
The gravity it produced was not fixed.
Herad could easily increase gravity to five times its normal strength, making enemies within the area burst apart and die.
That made it a highly lethal spell.
Even the flying insects were pinned down by this Gravity Magic, which was extremely rare on Azeroth.
The insects' unusual body structure gave them relatively strong resistance to Gravity Magic.
Unfortunately, however strong that resistance was, they were still flesh and blood.
When gravity reached five times its normal strength, their hearts could not bear the strain and were crushed one after another by the terrifying gravity.
The other organs inside their bodies fared only slightly better.
The only parts of them that remained completely intact were their sturdy exoskeletal bodies.
Their exoskeletal bodies made them look somewhat more presentable when gravity crushed them to death.
They did not end up like creatures with internal skeletons, with every capillary in their bodies bursting and leaving mangled, bloody corpses.
When Ninolok, the leader of the flying insects, saw the entire army wiped out, he almost thought something was wrong with his eyes.
He had never imagined that his subordinates would die so easily.
They had clearly been perfectly fine a moment ago, without anything abnormal about them.
How had they suddenly slipped off the earthen-yellow dome of light?
