This segment of the millipede's body occupied one-third of its length, collapsing and reconstituting itself mid-air, reshaped by the thoughts of the Thousand-Eyed Demon.
The half-human, half-insect creature stood in midair, its lower half boasting hundreds of wriggling legs that rubbed against the air, producing an eerie, rustling sound.
In its upper half, feelers quivered around the chest and abdomen, and its head, shrouded in black mist, continuously flickered with pairs of red eyes.
The Thousand-Eyed Demon's hands condensed Dark Scimitars, slashing down at the Demon Bat with massive blades, each over a hundred meters long.
The Demon Bat spread its wings and retreated, raising its hands to summon forth the Red Scorching Sea, which failed to engulf the Thousand-Eyed Demon as expected. Instead, the giant, now streaming with red mud, punched toward the Thousand-Eyed Demon.
