Lex didn't give anyone a chance to reply before rushing forward, transforming into his Nosferatu form, and crashing into a Hive Assassin as the Steamhammers and Heavy Gear Knights started firing—a swarm of shells flew over him and crashed into the horde.
Explosions ripped through their ranks, causing the Hive Spawn to screech in pain and anger before speeding up. He started tearing the assassins apart using his claws and sharp teeth while defending himself with his leathery wings.
More monsters appeared while lunging at him, but suddenly, a wave of fire washed over them, causing them to burn to ashes and float off in the breeze. The next attack came as a blizzard smashed into the Hive Giants, slowly marching in the rear, bringing them down on top of their fellow Hivefiends.
