Herag is now in the Titan Power form, his entire body covered in dark gold armor.
The Crawlers can't bite through this layer of armor, their sharp teeth unable to leave even a scratch on it.
Herag glanced at the black slime on his legs and frowned, then used force to fling the Crawlers stuck to his legs away.
Afterwards, magic power gathered in his hand, quickly forming a fireball that flew out and exploded upon hitting the fallen Crawlers.
As the Fireball Technique exploded, flames instantly engulfed the Crawlers, burning fiercely.
The Crawlers seemed to have no sense of pain, completely ignoring the flames on their bodies, they staggered forward to charge.
However, they didn't make it far before their legs broke, falling to the ground, still crawling forward.
Herag took out the World Tree Bow, aimed at the Crawlers still crawling, and shot an arrow that shattered them.
Dealing with this Crawler was just the start, as Crawlers continuously surged in from all directions.
The sheer number of them made Herag's scalp tingle.
He took out the Feather of Flight from the Space Ring, infused it with magic power to activate it, and the Feather of Flight attached itself to the back of Herag's left hand.
Herag gently stepped on the ground with his toe, and then his whole body flew into the air.
After the Feather of Flight's effect was activated, Herag naturally grasped the ability to fly, as if it was inherent.
However, this flying ability was not as powerful as when he was on the Abyss Plane; both the speed and level of control over his body were far inferior to before.
It's barely adequate for flying, but nothing more can be asked.
When Herag flew into the air, he glanced down, seeing that the ground had turned into a sea of Crawlers.
All these Crawlers raised their heads to look at him, reaching out their hands as if trying to grasp Herag in the air.
But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't reach Herag, who was far up in the sky.
Flying in the air, Herag could see a broader view.
He looked into the distance, seeing swarms of Crawlers flooding towards him.
But the area close by was already crowded with Crawlers, so those from afar were blocked at the outskirts, unable to approach.
Herag felt fortunate to have obtained this Feather of Flight, otherwise, dealing with such a large number of Crawlers would really be difficult.
With so many Crawlers, hacking them one by one would be exhausting.
The current situation was still somewhat troublesome; these Crawlers had locked onto him and were crazily howling below.
The massive howling of Crawlers made the scene akin to a concert, waves of sound washing over him, causing Herag a headache.
This place cannot be stayed at, or sooner or later, bigger things will be attracted.
Herag flew towards the outskirts of the city, the Crawlers beneath chasing after him.
The city was no longer livable, Crawlers were waking up in all visible directions, heading towards him.
Herag didn't know why this city had so many Crawlers.
The Crawlers were formerly humans, and their large number indicated that many people had died in this city, likely at the same time.
After these people died, this city completely became a dead city.
Over the long years, the dead inside the city were slowly transformed into Crawlers due to pollution.
Herag couldn't ascertain what exactly happened here back then for so many people to die.
While Herag was pondering, he suddenly felt something and quickly dodged to the side.
Soon after, a massive rock flew past him.
He looked down to see a Crawler picking up some rubble from the ground and throwing it.
The flying ability granted by the Feather of Flight wasn't very strong, and Herag's movements in the air weren't very swift.
He twisted his body again, barely dodging another stone attack.
Throwing skills are instinctual to primates. These Crawlers were humans before their deaths, retaining this instinct.
After one Crawler threw a stone, others began learning, picking up objects around them to throw.
Wood, stones, clumps of dirt, even the limbs of other Crawlers, anything that could be thrown.
Herag, unable to dodge in the air, faced too many thrown objects to evade them completely.
Fortunately, the strength of the dark gold armor was high enough that these projectiles couldn't harm him.
But continuing like this wasn't a solution, so Herag kept flying towards the city outskirts, occasionally avoiding incoming projectiles.
As Herag saw the Crawlers throwing objects, certain thoughts crossed his mind.
He felt the Crawlers weren't that simple, and seemed to possess some learning ability.
Although it looked like they were just throwing things, the meaning behind it was somewhat intriguing.
Herag silently noted these observations and flew towards the city outskirts.
He dared not fly too high, for the sky over the pollution area always had thick gray clouds, concealing unknown entities.
Herag worried that flying too high might attract the attention of certain presences, so he kept low profile.
Below him, the Crawlers kept running after him as he flew outside the city.
There appeared to be thousands of them, all chasing after Herag, making the scene quite spectacular.
After flying out of the city, the Crawlers continued chasing, howling as they ran.
Herag accelerated his speed slightly, continuing his flight further out.
The Crawlers chased relentlessly, showing no sign of stopping, following closely behind.
By now, Herag had flown over the plains, with a sea of Crawlers trailing behind, making his scalp tingle.
He considered quickly shaking off the Crawlers, as he'd become a big target wherever he went, drawing too much attention.
Half an hour later.
"Why are they still following me?" Herag looked back to see the Crawlers frantically and relentlessly pursuing him.
He speculated that it was due to his own excessively strong blood energy.
Crawlers are extremely sensitive to flesh scent, and Herag's constitution was very strong, making his flesh scent like a radiant sun among Crawlers.
Moreover, Herag was currently in Titan Power mode, making his body's flesh scent an irresistible lure to Crawlers.
Despite Herag's efforts to speed up, the limited effect of the Feather of Flight meant he couldn't increase his flight speed beyond a certain point.
This left Herag unable to completely shake off the Crawlers.
He considered abandoning flight and running wildly on the ground.
But after some thought, he chose not to land, as flying was actually more convenient, easily bypassing many difficult terrains.
Running on the ground would consume much energy and might not be as efficient as flying.
Herag glanced at the pursuing Crawler army behind him and began to pay attention to the surrounding terrain, preparing to find a suitable place to shake off the Crawlers.
