With a crisp pop, something in the sand was punctured. The Scythe of Death was lifted unveiling a burst beetle clinging to the handle.
Shockingly, two villagers on the move were trailing them, dropping beetles below. When the beetles had managed to silently crawl to the feet of Ange and his companions, nobody noticed.
Negris stared blankly at the insect on the handle of the scythe. He then looked back at the two villagers who were also visibly surprised. How did Ange notice the beetle underground?
However, having been discovered, they no longer put on pretenses, loudly roaring, "Time to die...."
As the word 'die' came out of their mouths, the bodies of the fallen bandits suddenly burst open. Countless flying insects poured out of the cadavers, their numbers several dozen times more than what managed to worm its way in.
Upon a closer look, the bodies of the bandits had been gnawed at until nothing but skin and bones remained.
