The levels of the pests were not too high and the lightning puppets were capable of taking care of them. Pests were practically immune to physical attacks, so the mages of Alchemy City had unleashed the angel of fear and pests to take on the Bug Angel Warriors.
Magic attacks from the Bug Angel Warriors were could weaken the pests, but the pests would simply be reduced to dust when physically attacked, which would roll on the ground for a bit before reconstituting.
Reconstituted pests were not any weaker in terms of combat capacity. All Bug Angel Warriors within the area controlled by the angel of fear were knocked out. Outside, the Bug Angel Warriors were having a hard time as well.
The pests were simply indestructible to the Bug Angel Warriors.
