Twenty-four Dimensional Blades cut up the pests. The Dimensional Blades attacked their targets incessantly until they were dead, which identified them as vastly different levels from common Dimensional Blades. It was precisely due to such traits that the unique properties of pests held the Dimensional Blades back for repeated cutting until the blades ran out of energy and dissipated.
The pests no doubt died right after they were hit, but their bodies continued to reconfigure themselves.
Saleen fired a lightning icicle and hit the bug that was magically marked, killing it immediately. That was the easy one, though. The smaller bug behind the huge one was more difficult to deal with.
That smaller bug started at a little more than a meter in length and expanded suddenly, getting ready to charge at Saleen. Rafel lashed out with her Inferno Spear, but the weapon was surprisingly unable to get through when it crashed into the bug's carapace.
