The immense force of Cleansing Light's arrival caused Chaos among the weaker Klem, but it immediately drew the strongest defenders' attention. The Klem shared a mental bond, and the death of the Behemoth that Max had landed on would not go unnoticed for even a second.
Max could see that dozens of Klem Shredders and a handful more Behemoths were headed his way already. However, they were being careful to remain as much behind cover as they could, so he couldn't get a clear shot at them without blasting through the hills and buildings, which risked destroying valuable evidence.
Max wasn't sure if that was deliberate or simply a coincidence based on the locations that they were coming from. Still, it was annoying, so he decided to draw them out by setting the Disruptors to a wide dispersed beam and eliminating every Klem Warrior and Swarm insect within half a kilometer of his location, giving himself lots of room to work.
