On the other battlefield, Arba and Tasha continued to kill more and more magical beasts while Devain needed to get healed first before helping them. 

Although Leah didn’t stand out, she was one of the most important people in this war. Not only did she carry all the injured people to the medical teams, but she also helped Aston control the battlefield.

Aston had indeed done a great job. He managed to move the entire troops while making sure no one bothered their top fighters. 

The soldiers had also moved according to his directions and killed many enemies. 

His arrangement might not be as good as Kai’s, but it was more accurate than Nathan, who couldn’t see the battlefield with his own eyes. 

Of course, the soldiers also did so many things on the battlefield, turning the war in their favor. A few generals had also died due to the sea creatures, but they managed to deal with them.

Tanks and fighter jets had been deployed and kept hitting all those monsters, flattening them.

The magical beasts also fought back and sank many of them while killing tens of thousands of soldiers. 

Still, this was the terror of the war. People were dying. Some managed to live but experienced heavy injuries and some trauma that would continue for years after their recovery. Blood dyed the hill red and created a blood river. 

Body parts from either humans or sea creatures were scattered around the battlefield.

However, they needed to push forward and keep fighting until one side lost. This was a cruel war without an option to surrender. 

It was either you died or you won. 

Before the fight, the soldiers had been briefed on the scale of this war, but when they experienced it themselves, all of them thought the same thing. 

“This is hell.”

Despite seeing their comrades dying before their eyes, the group continued to push forward and kept fighting. They could only see Michelle and the others from afar and realize how small they could do on this battlefield. 

Even then, they wished to contribute, especially knowing that Kai was fighting a terrifying monster that could create a sharp rain that could massacre hundreds of thousands if not millions just by letting that rain continue for a few minutes. 

No matter how small they could do, they would contribute. 

The veterans, youngsters, and other people, who had a heart movement from seeing the battlefield, arrived on the battlefield one after another, from the closest area. 

The war had brought many changes: Rapakha’s sacrifice, flying magical beasts’ help, and many others. 

No one knew what would happen to this land as well, especially the new man-made hill. 

Suddenly, a huge Magic Circle appeared on the battlefield, stunning all of them. But they all knew who was about to come out of this Magic Circle because Kai was the only one who would come to this place with that kind of magic. 

Sofia and Ayaka wanted to head there immediately, but their bodies couldn’t move due to their injuries. 

Michelle, Felice, Ria, Haruko all wanted to meet him as they struggled to reach there with their current state. 

Tasha, Arba, Devain stopped for a moment to greet Kai. 

However, they all dropped their jaws to the ground when they saw his state. The entire world turned silent, including those who could only look through the screen.

Kai emerged from the Magic Circle, but his whole body was covered with wounds and blood. His vision would have turned red as blood had covered it. 

His entire left arm and his right foot to the knee had gone with fresh blood continuously dripping to the ground. His body kept swaying left and right as he could barely walk due to the support of his right hand, holding the sword like that of a stick.

There were many wounds in his body that made it even worse, such as some sharp objects that pierced through his skin and some holes that almost allowed them to see his bones.

Without hesitation, Leah teleported her and Evan to his side while shouting, “Evan!”

Evan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Kai’s state. Despite having seen so many injuries, this was the first time he saw someone still alive after suffering these many injuries. 

“Y-yes!” Evan hurriedly covered Kai’s body with his healing water, trying to heal him as soon as possible. He wouldn’t let him die.

Michelle, Felice, Haruko, Ria, and Tasha hurriedly appeared by his side. 

“Kai (Master)!” They dropped to their knees with tears streaming down their cheeks. They couldn’t imagine what had happened on the other battlefield. 

Arba clenched her fist and gnashed her teeth. The only one who knew what happened was her. After all, she was the one that planted the altar inside his arm. 

Arba refused to do it at first, but Kai ultimately persuaded her. 

Michelle wanted to grab his hand but didn’t wish to interrupt Evan’s magic, so she could only sit on her knees, looking at Kai.

To their surprise, Kai still said two words about his injury. “We… won…”

He had no more energy to call their names anymore, but his will to live still remained, keeping his consciousness awake despite closing his eyes. 

And those two words stabbed their hearts. 

Michelle’s hands joined together, fighting that pain from seeing Kai in this state. She gritted her teeth and called those who could still fight, “Tasha, Arba, Devain…”

With anger in her eyes and tears streaming down her cheeks, she glared at them, “Leave no one alive!”

These three wreaked havoc before the roar of victory shook their battlefield.

Boom. 

The sound came from the south like the distant roar of heavy guns.

They didn’t find an explosion that big anywhere on the battlefield, but that noise forced them to get on their knees and cover their ears.

“What is that sound?”

“Where?”

Looking at a smile that appeared on Kai’s face, Michelle endured the pain from the sound and stared at the sky, muttering, “It’s… the drum of victory…”
