Jin has faced several situations where he has been in a disadvantageous spot. After all, before bing the ruler of the Crimson w, he was nothing but a mere wanderer, trying to live his life on his own rules.


    That''s why, when the army of unknown beings appeared before him, he didn''t think twice before shouting, "Attack!"


    From the shadows, the elite soldiers of his gang emerged, striking with lethal precision, aiming to overwhelm the enemy from every angle.


    Yet before Jin could blink, the blond-haired man disappeared.


    He reappeared in the same spot a heartbeatter, his sword drenched in blood.


    **THUD** **THUD** **THUD**


    Bodies hit the ground, each severed perfectly in half. Blood spilled in grotesque streams, pooling like a crimson tide. The air thickened with the metallic scent of death.


    Jin''s breath caught in his throat as his gaze darted to the fallen. Over ten of his finest soldiers were carved apart as if they were nothing. Not a single wasted movement. Not even a sign of fatigue on the blond man''s face.


    "Huh?" It was all Jin could mutter as he realized the strength of the man. His body shook violently and his mind screamed for him to run away.


    "Last chance, don''t move and you won''t be killed," Be warned again, as he raised his sword and pointed at Jin.


    However, "Leader, run!" Andrew threw a shbang towards the soldiers, which caught Be off guard, and taking advantage, Jin dashed away from theb.


    "*Huff* *Huff*" His face was pale as he ran until he reached thending zone and barked, "Open fire in theboratory! Burn that ce, now!!!"


    The soldiers didn''t need to be told twice as they pointed their guns and artillery toward theb and wordlessly began shooting.


    **GRRRRRRR**


    The first volley of bullets ripped through the silence, the deafening roar of gunfire echoing across the field. Sparks flew as the rounds tore into the walls of theb, shattering windows and ripping apart metal fixtures.


    The artillery followed—a thunderous boom that shook the ground beneath their feet. Shells exploded upon impact, mes bursting forth and engulfing the building in a fiery inferno.


    **BOOM! BOOM!**


    Theb groaned as its structure began to copse, the mes licking hungrily at its edges, consuming everything in sight. Smoke billowed into the air, dark and suffocating, blotting out the stars.


    Jin retreated away, advancing towards the main building as the soldiers continued to fire.


    After seven minutes of nonstop firing the soldiers finally halted, as nothing but broken rubble and molten fragments of theb remained.


    "H-Huh...?" The first soldier who witnessed the sight gasped as he saw that a huge barrier was erected around the soldiers of the opposing army, and not even a single of them was damaged by the assault.


    "....what the hell are they?"


    "How can a barrier withstand that much firepower?!"


    "This is insane..."


    The soldiers despaired at the sight as Be stepped forward and shouted, "Yourmander has chosen to sacrifice you and decided to run away. I, as amander myself, want to give you a choice. Drop your weapons, and I will let you all live-"


    **SHLINK**


    His words didn''t evene to rest when a missile was shot in his direction.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Be growled as he shot into the air and grabbed the missile before twirling mid-air and throwing the missile back at the enemy battalion.


    "BARRIER!" Themander of the battalion barked before several barrier mages erected several barriers to tank the attack.


    Be dropped back to his feet beforemanding, "CHARGE!"


    The soldiers of Eldoria, who have been defensive until now, removed the barrier and unsheathed their weapons.


    On theirmander''s call, they charged, their figures turning into a blur and targeting different units once at a time.


    Meanwhile, Be frowned as he looked around, trying to find the Duchess who went ahead to deal with the greater danger


    ''I can''t sense her presence at all...'' Be grew worried as he jumped from his spot, the restriction of gravity didn''t seem to be chaining him down, as he leaped far ahead and smashed the life out of one of the enemy soldiers.


    Seeing the soldier getting squashed like a tomato, the nearby soldiers shakily raised their weapons to attack the demon, only to find their vision shifting.


    Be drew his sword and shed his weapon once—decapitating seven soldiers at once without moving anything but a single arm.


    His eyes swept through the battlefield before he suddenly caught a sight that shocked him beyond belief,


    "C-Commander..." Be couldn''t believe his eyes as he saw Berine lying at one side, her arms burned and thedy looking extremely pale.


    Be advanced towards her, wanting to help thedy who looked far worse than how she arrived here—when suddenly someone jumped to stand in his path,


    "You need to get through me, to get her." It was a raven-haired woman with glowing crimson eyes that blocked Be''s path.


    The blond soldier narrowed his eyes—the energying from her..."You are an ether user yet you are siding the evil. Why?" He could sense the purity of her magic inparison to the other varmints fighting around him. And Be could tell that the woman was a strong fighter.


    "We both are following our beliefs, so let''s not dwell on our reasons." Be summoned a pair of mences around her as she stated.


    She didn''t hold back while releasing her aura since her brother asked her not to. Her only motive here was to dy Be as long as she could so her Brother could liberate Rena.


    ''Mom warned me about him...is he really that strong-ah!'' However, soon she got her answer.


    Be drew his sword, and the air around him shifted. His aura made the ground shake, and the huge, wide field seemed suffocating in his presence.


    Locking his eyes with Be''s, the blond soldier muttered,  "So be it."


    The battle between twomanders begins!
