Lackey stared at the scene with a blank expression before letting out a disappointed sigh.
"...I honestly thought they'd explode and buy me at least a few more seconds."
KYYYRRRAAAA!!
Another deafening screech echoed overhead.
Lackey instinctively looked toward the sky and watched as the reconnaissance drones, which had also restarted after the DIY Gun's effect wore off, reignited their anti-gravity engines. Their blue optical sensors lit up once more as they resumed scanning the surrounding mountains.

Metal shattered between enormous skeletal jaws as sparks and broken mechanical fragments rained across the valley. Within moments, every drone had been swallowed whole, disappearing into the creatures' molten bodies without leaving behind a single functioning component.
