"How is this possible? I can't believe it!"
The Zaran squad leader felt extreme helplessness, he knew that his own end as well as that of most of his soldiers had come.
His eyes fixed on Klavis were filled with endless hatred, there was no doubt that if he had had the strength, then he would have dismembered Klavis into countless small pieces.
It was a pity for him that it was some of his countrymen who would end up in such a state after this battle.
The slaves in history were never the most powerful, but they were undoubtedly extremely bloodthirsty and cruel warriors once the decision to rebel was made. They would undoubtedly take the time to pay back every bit of pain suffered to their persecutors.
"He began to whisper, as a firm resolution was reflected in his eyes.
"To all soldiers, this is the leader of the elite Kiri squad, on my status as lieutenant colonel, I order you to retreat immediately! Run away and report this battle to general Oblivion! Veterans, cover the backs of your comrades!" the Zaran squad leader shouted with his voice amplified by his spiritual energy.
Once this was done, the lieutenant colonel carefully laid the corpse of his former subordinate Mori to the side, then drew his sword and held it in both hands towards Klavis.
"HAHAHAHA..."
But seeing this, Klavis had an uncontrollable laugh.
The slaves and Kiri had their own hatreds, but Klavis also had his own.
Feelings of humiliation, rage and intense hatred that had been locked up and passed on for a hundred thousand years, inherited from generation to generation of emperors, felt and cultivated personally by Klavis for thousands of years, were clearly not feelings to be underestimated!
Even less, when they were completely released for the first time!
The Zaran lieutenant-colonel paled at the sight of an emperor completely free of his chains.
Whereas before Klavis looked like a powerful and majestic man, now he was a beast in human form completely unleashed.
Even William felt intense pressure from this emperor.
"How much did this man hide?" wondered William.
"I wonder what kind of emotion he felt after forcing himself to speak nicely and even stoop to the Zarans for thousands of years?" he continued
"It doesn't matter, he's a human anyway, so all his emotions will be vented on the Zarans, and as an ally the more he lashes out and causes chaos, the better our chances of freeing the citizens of Aurora." analyzed William calmly.
Meanwhile, the Emperor's laughter continued to echo across the battlefield, covering the sounds of explosions, Zarans cries of pain, the sounds of weapons clashing, and the firing of guns.
"Cursed Zarans, I guarantee on my own life that none of you will escape today!
A crazy pressure was coming from him, covering the whole battlefield.
As a result, even the craziest and most intrepid warriors among the Zarans had a drop in morale, not to mention the rest of the army.
At this point there were less than 80,000 Zarans left out of the original 200,000. It was essentially a pure genocide of the Zaran army.
"Klavis I swear today on the God Ecalypso that you will not touch a single one of my countrymen today!" shouted the Zaran lieutenant colonel.
"Blood explosion!"
*Boom*
An intense explosion erupted from Kiri as his aura even caused waves!
But as a result Klavis' aura exploded once again, it was as if it had no limits!
"Do you really know what it means to be a human emperor on Teloria, you damned Zarans? Fame, status, women, money...?"
"No nothing like that, it's power! I am the guardian, the protector of humanity on Teloria! Do you know what that means? No, you don't, so today I'm going to teach you a lesson in the name of all my predecessors!
Then he shouted: "Humanity is strong, humanity will win!"
In response, all the human soldiers including William's also roared:
"Humanity is strong, humanity will win!"
"Humanity is strong, humanity will overcome!"
"Humanity is strong, humanity will overcome!"
...
The strong and powerful voice of all humans echoed on the battlefield.
Hearing this, William felt a deep wave of excitement, as chills ran through his body.
His body was screaming, he wanted to express all the pain, the resentment, the hatred present on this battlefield through his fists.
Ding
[Detecting that the host has unlocked a new part of his skill].
[Passive skill created: Awakening Humanity].
[Awakening Humanity: The ability to sense the battlefield emotions of your soldiers].
This was undoubtedly an extremely powerful skill, but at this point William didn't care at all, he was just letting himself be lulled by the emotions of the battlefield.
So, unconsciously, William released his entire aura.
On the battlefield, there were only 3 auras pulsating, one white, one red and one black, although each was much weaker than the previous one.
But that was the problem!
No one was surprised by the white and red auras, since the first was released by the human emperor of Teloria, while the second was released by a lieutenant colonel, leader of an elite squad, who had used a secret life-sacrificing technique to strengthen his power.
But the black girl was released by an extremely young man! Looking at his face, it was even possible that he was not yet of age!
At his age, even the most talented Zaran, those with access to a gigantic supply of high quality blood, are at most rank (C+), let alone human!
So Kiri had a completely incredulous face, his thoughts momentarily interrupted.
After a few moments, he resumed his thoughts:
"I must warn the emperor at all costs! This guy is a much bigger threat than Klavis!"
Indeed, all the Zarans were busy running or fighting, no one had time to look at who exactly the owner of the black aura was, although they were extremely curious.
It was well known that the most common aura was white. The red one could be explained since their lieutenant colonel had sacrificed his own life via his blood to increase his power, which explained his red aura.
But a black aura? No one had heard of it in this small corner of the universe.
Unfortunately for Kiri, when he wanted to shout, he noticed that no sound came out of his mouth.
At the same moment he saw Klavis sheathing his sword.
Kiri quickly guessed the answer: if a sword was sheathed, it meant that the enemy was already defeated.
"What the hell is this!? How can it be so powerful!? Under the rank (S-) I should be invincible! So someone explain to me what is going on!" were his last thoughts.
It's a pity that he will never find his answers because a geyser of blood gushed out of his throat, then his head fell to the ground, followed by his body.
Ora and Kel, who had already retreated following the lieutenant's order, and were covering the retreat of their comrades, unconsciously felt something.
They looked back to where they had been and saw their squad leader's head fall to the ground.
Changing the direction of their gaze slightly, they met Klavis' gaze directly and he smiled softly at them, like a hunter seeing his prey already completely trapped and trying to fight back.
A common thought crossed both their minds:
"We're dead."
