As Lillian engaged with the stone cultist, the Beetle raged behind her, tearing through its encirclement and going after anything virtually alive.
It opened its jaws, snapping down on the upper bodies of multiple cultists. The sharp ends of its spider-like legs stabbed into their bodies like toothpicks before dropping them into its mouth.
It had even begun chasing after the academy's soldiers, mistaking them for the enemy as well. Lillian saw this and immediately scolded:
"Not them, you damn beetle! The ones in black! The black guys!" She yelled before having to slip through a storm of pebbles launched her way.
The Beetle gave her a lazy look before sassily rolling its eyes and changing targets.
Lillian ducked under a right hook and instinctively shot her fist out in retaliation, gut-punching them.
Thud...!
The whole seemingly froze for a second as Lillian's face twitched from the pain of her knuckles smashing into solid stone. Why'd she do that?
