"Red Locust Bee King!"
Marcus finally understood what had felt missing.
A place like this, guarding a heavenly treasure, could never exist without a true ruler. Of course there would be bosses protecting it.
And not just one.
Three enormous bees emerged from the hives at the same time, their bodies glowing with deep crimson light. Marcus's eyes brightened immediately.
Now this was getting interesting.
"Evolve. Red Locust Bees!"
Instead of attacking the invading monsters right away, the three Bee Kings began beating their wings in rapid rhythm, circling through the air in a strange, synchronized dance. A dense pheromone spread outward, thick with locust fragrance.
The reaction was instantaneous.
Every red locust bee in the grove erupted with red light. Energy surged through their bodies as if ignited from within. Their forms expanded, power swelling violently under the nourishment of the Red Locust Spirit's energy.
They were evolving.
