The disarrayed group of juggernauts, trapped and wounded, lay scattered about the battlefield. The anger and rage that once compelled them dimmed to helpless confusion.
Reinhart, a man reborn from his past life as a construction worker, stood amid the turmoil he caused, deeply affected by the revelation that the juggernauts were still humans somewhere deep inside. Their agonizing internal screams still echoed in his mind.
"Reinhart!" Maze called from her drone, breaking the sobering silence. "Are you okay? You went still all of a sudden."
Reinhart shook his head and then lowered his hands. "I am okay, but the people inside of these creatures are not. I tried to connect with one but had to stop. The human soul is still there, but it is being crushed under the oppressive weight of the Mana gathered around them. Their souls are screaming out in pain and despair." His eyes, filled with a mix of determination and sorrow, scanned the trapped juggernauts before him.
