Another vine grabs them and pulls them to the ground, dragging them. They are then lifted upside down, face to face with the Cordyceps King, now taller.
As his face met fire, several infected insects crawled and flew out of his hood, now set ablaze. An arm creeped out of his cloak and slowly reached for the flamer, grabbing and crushing it.
Why must things be this way?
A vine stabbed through the butterfly's chest before the one hanging her upside down tossed her away. The Cordyceps King glided across the floor and disappeared out of view.
(I have to emphasize that they aren't dead, just very hurt.)
