Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1292: Consuming You to Death

But this doubt was fleeting and replaced by a deeper alert.

Engraving insects is the secret skill that Zang Yan is proud of. It is a weapon in his hand that controls life and death. How could it be easily defeated by ordinary people's pesticides?

The imprint worms, these man-made three-corpse worms, originated from ancient legends. It is said that they live in the human body, record the evil deeds of the host one by one, and finally convey them to the King of Hell as a basis for judgment.

However, in the world of magic, they are given a whole new meaning. As familiars, they rely on the magic power provided by the host to survive and maintain basic mobility.

Their function is simple and direct, they only serve as monitors to report to their masters whether the host is still alive. They are the lowest level of servants, like a magician's remote-controlled eyes, monitoring every marked life.

Even so, the imprinted worms are no ordinary creatures. Their body structure and vitality have been carefully designed and strengthened to withstand most physical and chemical attacks.

Therefore, when the old bug saw the bugs falling down after being hit by the spray, his first reaction was shock, followed by deep suspicion.

Such a result could never be achieved with just a bottle of ordinary insecticide.

"Magic Gift, the bugs must die!"

There was a hint of teasing and confidence in Luther's voice. He gently raised the spray can in his hand, as if it was a rare treasure.

In the world of magicians, the word magic costume means the crystallization of power and wisdom.

It is a magician's right-hand man when performing magic. It is also called "Mystic Code" or "ritual costume". It is a bridge between the magician and the magic world.

Magic costumes come in various shapes and functions, but can be roughly divided into two major systems: one is auxiliary costumes, whose main function is to enhance or supplement the magic power of the magician when performing magic, allowing the magician to release more powerful magic effects with less magic consumption; the other is limited costumes, which have specific magic effects built in. Once activated, they can directly trigger the predetermined phenomenon without the need for complicated magic chants or gestures, and only require injecting magic power into the costume.

Auxiliary costumes, like a magician's magic reserve, are essential emergency equipment for every magician.

They can amplify the magic output of the magician, allowing the magician to burst out amazing power even in the desperate situation of magic exhaustion.

Limited edition costumes are more like the magician's secret weapons. They often have unique and powerful functions that can solve the problems encountered by the magician in specific situations.

Due to the special nature of limited-edition magic costumes, they are often not as widely applicable as auxiliary magic costumes, but precisely because of their unique effects, their value at critical moments far exceeds that of ordinary magic.

As for the idea of ​​turning magic costumes into insecticides, it is not a wild imagination for magicians.

In this world, cigar-shaped magic costumes, glasses-shaped magic costumes, and even clothes and accessories may hide incredible magic.

Therefore, a bottle of insecticide that seems ordinary and closely related to daily life actually contains a lot of mysteries. Such a setting is no longer so surprising in this land.

The bottle of spray in Luther's hand is a fine piece of limited edition magic gift set.

It is carefully crafted and designed specifically to deal with difficult insect creatures such as the Marking Worm.

By releasing a specially crafted magical liquid, it can kill these target creatures quickly and accurately.

This magic gift is not only efficient and secretive when used, but is also an excellent tool for dealing with such tricky problems.

The old bug looked at the motionless bugs on the ground, and the shock in his heart gradually turned into deep fear.

This time, the opponent was obviously well prepared, especially the limited magic gift for the engraved insects he had carefully cultivated, which made him feel an unprecedented threat.

"Hmph!" The old bug poked the floor hard with his crutch. The crutch seemed to contain an extraordinary magical power and made a dull sound.

Immediately afterwards, countless imprinted insects swarmed towards Luther from all directions. Their numbers had made a qualitative leap compared to before.

These engraved insects surged like a tide, trying to drown Luther in this sea of ​​insects.

However, Luther did not show any panic.

"It's useless. My magic costume is prepared for this kind of situation."

He smiled and pressed the spray nozzle of the bottle of insecticide again.

With the injection of magic power, nano-sized mist gushed out, and wherever it passed, the engraved insects died one after another, as if they were cut by an invisible blade, without any power to resist.

Seeing this, Matou Zouken's face became extremely ugly.

He could clearly feel that the imprinted insects he had carefully cultivated were being destroyed one by one.

These engraved insects are the result of his years of hard work and are an important tool for him to carry out various evil plans and conspiracies.

But now, in such a short period of time, they were destroyed one by one by the limited magic costumes in Luther's hand.

"I want to see how long your magic costume can last!"

Matou Zouken snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain and provocation.

As an experienced magician, he was not without a chance of winning.

After all, this is his magic workshop, his magic base.

Here, he has absolute home advantage.

Although those engraved insects were destroyed in large numbers, there were still huge reserves in the insect nests he cultivated.

Not only that, Matou Zouken also released a mosquito-shaped familiar insect.

These magic insects can not only replace the hearts of humans who have no patience for magic and manipulate their bodies to become his puppets and chess pieces; they can also perform various complex tasks, collect intelligence for him, and monitor the enemy.

It was with this trick that Matou Zouken controlled the managers of the Matou family's major industries, allowing the Matou family to maintain prosperity and rapid development without having to worry about managing them.

Although Luther possesses magical resistance and can resist most magical attacks and interferences, these mosquito-shaped familiars can still cause him some trouble.

They can fly around Luther, making a harsh buzzing sound to distract his concentration; they can also take the opportunity to release some trace amounts of toxins in an attempt to weaken his magic reserves and reaction speed.

Matou Kariya stood aside and witnessed this thrilling battle.

He looked at the Marked Insects that were attacking from all directions like a tide and the familiar insects hidden among them, his heart filled with anxiety and worry.
