Each soldier, whether a Heretic Vassal or a lesser undead, stood taller and stronger, their forms rippling with newfound power.

Lucius hovered above the army, his dark armor faintly glowing with residual energy from the immense strain of the promotion.
His breathing was calm, but inside, he could feel the toll.
Only half his full power remained, a dangerous limit given the potential confrontation ahead.
He clenched his fists, reassured by the thought that he had faced and killed Seraphiel with far less.
