A minute after the werebats, Jericho and Lucian's conversation a seismic blast shook the Alfiya temple.
The shaking was so intense that they all ended up on the floor. A magic sound went off alerting the whole domain of Alfiya temple.
Lucian stood up brushing off the debris on his armor and hair. Taken off guard by the event had their alerts set on extreme. Everyone that was inside left their spots and stood out with great bloodlust. This caused Lucian to transform and wrecking some of the leather leaving him his customized armor meant to use for his Weretiger form.
This form is different because their size doubled and their arms grew big enough to touch the floor while standing. Their faces are fierce and their eyes starred the surrounding with sharpness. Micha el Batahala came out with a group of guards and low ranking priests. Everyone that worked from the temple are of a different kind though they are considered Weretigers.
Their form is terrifying because their size is normal but their back arched like an angry cat, the neck is thicker than normal and their eyes varied base on bloodline, and both their teeth and claw were ready to to attack.
Micha el Batahala roared " There's a wave of insecthropes, and they are not here for peace... everyone I now declare! protect, survive and destroy!!! ". everyone yelled their battle cry *crrwaarrr* which has a magic effects that boosts senses, physical strength, body protection, 2 layers of Weretigers barrier, elemental boost, and regeneration. The werebats flew up towards Micha el Batahala and sonic blasted his guards emitting a dark shroud that also added help to their affinities.
Lucian picked out his weapons from the floor, his body and mind are affected by the bloodlust.
The gate guards went in because they're outnumbered and the insecthropes are already trying to get in the barrier. The solution for the surprise attack is to take the fight to them. Stalling will only waste the magic barrier and get them all in a cornered position. They all know that insecthropes main advantage is their numbers so it is basically a ratio of 20 to 1 and in rare occasions 40 to 1.
Alfiya's people were transported on a different plane from adults to teens and both are required to fight. The others stayed and their tasks is to set up traps and raise the internal barriers.
Micha el Batahala instructed the warriors to take a formation so when the front gets tired they can switch and rest and they will repeat the process.
When they finished preparing which took less than 10 minutes, the high priest then transported all the insecthropes near their location.
A big warp similar to a black hole but not nearly as dark opened up in the distance. Followed after that was a disturbing buzzing noise. A great number came out continously, a color spectrum of yellow and black spiraled in the air darkening the ground underneath.
Lucian can't believe how equipped these Humanoid Hornets are.
Wearing black armor that only covers the body and forearms, a wide variety of weapons from dagger to spear.
" this is a f***** colony " Lucian thought to himself.
The sky was already dark but the swarm kept on going, it seemed like there's no end to them.
This will intimidate some other Lycanthropes but not the Weretigers. Instead of cowering in fear their bloodlust tripled and they are salivating over the fact that they will get some action. Other than the buzzing noise the Weretigers are emitting a sound different from roar.
Lucian looked up and he saw a hornet separated from the rest and is wearing a full on black suit and a scepter on all its four arms. This one seemed to be orchestrating the colony with the wand. The movement is in one motion and coordinated.
When they all finally came out the hornet with black suit came close with 5 guards behind forming a V shape formation in the air. When they were close enough it pointed the scepter towards Micha el Batahala. The noise calmed down a bit and the two leaders talked in telepathy about what's actually happening.
Micha el Batahala then looked at the Weretigers and yelled to the warriors that this colony are on a command spell to kill the passerby. The Weretigers looked at each other and started pounding their weapons, some were pounding their chest making drum roll noise. They all know that if they let them kill Lucian the world will be in utter danger. One Weretiger yelled " we had been waiting for a change! if we let them be then they will get the upper hand. It's in the prophecies. Let's make it known that we Weretigers are not someone to mess with " everyone went and turned on their hostility back again. At the same time the Humanoid Hornets buzzed again. The noise for a normal person is unbearable. Anyone put in the situation will know how aggressive the sounds are.
Then the Hornets moved to attack. The Weretigers started jumping an inch off the ground similar to a pro boxers movement but without the shuffling of the feet.
Lucian went in the front row, and pulled his first weapon from his back. A gauntlet shield with five spikes on the front, the surrounding edge is sharp, the knuckle has a claw and the finger part of the gauntlet are also designed to kill. His left arm is already equipped with a gauntlet but with no shield or blade visible. This one has a scorpion shape layers like a pangolins scale. There's no blade in it but the crevices are meant to maximize his ability to use air increasing the speed and impact of a punch or scratch. Lucian arched his body, bended his legs and leaped in spinning manner while spreading his arms bashing whatever hits.
