As Michael prepared himself, several guards rushed into the temple, their weapons drawn and ready for battle. Their confident strides quickly turned to shock as they took in the scene before them.
"By the gods! He's killed them all!" one soldier exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Look at the bodies... What kind of monster is this?" another shouted, his voice tinged with fear.
In a swift, fluid motion, Michael teleported to the door. With the blink of an eye, he closed the giant doors of the temple and secured them by placing a giant beam across the entryway. He then bent the beam with his strength, ensuring that the doors would not easily be opened.
The soldiers on the other side shouted in shock and frustration as they realized they were effectively locked in with this formidable adversary. "He's sealed us in!" one yelled, the panic clear in his voice.
