At this time, the warriors were battling against a tide-like swarm of Insect Men.
These monsters resembled giant lizards with human heads, large tails, and four human-like legs.
At first glance, they were utterly terrifying.
They moved very swiftly, undiminished even under the firelight. Sparks often ignited on their thick skins but were quickly extinguished, and their leg membranes allowed them to fly. A dark brown glow surrounded them, continually eroding the Spiritual Energy of the humans they fought.
As more Insect Men arrived, the battle intensified.
Behind the warriors was the Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground; they could retreat no further.
Dean Vera, as the only Spell Master, was the absolute core of the battle, exerting his utmost to support the fight with spells, but all his powerful spells seemed futile against their sheer number.
The warriors were nearly overwhelmed by the swarm.
