[Ancient Pulse]
He activated another one of his abilities, an ability that allowed him to stop wasting time on Magic Circles and cast Magic instinctively.
And with that—
Fwoosh
Flames appeared, circling around him in an instant. The enemies rushing towards him from all sides didn’t stop, they continued their charge with those crazy smiles on their faces.
Kael’s flames did not stop either.
They moved forward, instantly enveloping the twenty beings that surrounded him. Kael continued to pour his mana, strengthening the flames.
The warriors did not scream but—
"KRRRIIIEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!"
"RRROOOAAAAAAAARRRR!!!"
The beasts screeched and roared in agony as they were burned alive. They tried to resist, to somehow get rid of the flames, one of these beasts had water magic and it tried to take the flames down with water.
But Kael’s flames were simply too strong.
Fwoosh
They burned and they continued to burn until all twenty enemies surrounding Kael turned into ash.

...
...
Numerous notifications appeared in front of him, Kael ignored them all. The more he fought, the more he realised that he alone wasn’t enough.
Yes, he had killed quite a few ever since he had arrived, but that wasn’t enough. His people were still dying simply because his actions did nothing to the enemy’s morale.
...if they had any morale in the first place.
The enemy just mindlessly continued charging and yes, because his kills had freed many soldiers, soldiers who were now supporting others, overall, according to Imperia, the enemy was still stronger.
And Kael realised it—
He needed help.
He needed more people.
So he decided to focus on targeting specific warriors, warriors that were more problematic than the others.
The enemy tribe leaders.
Sure, killing them wouldn’t give him the mental advantage because it was clear the enemy troops did not understand the difference between victory and defeat or what value the deaths of the tribe leaders held when it came to war.
There was no point in overwhelming them and forcing them to surrender, they were going to fight till their last remaining breath.
Kael had realised it when he saw the enemy warriors charging at him despite being covered in flames.
However, that didn’t mean killing enemy leaders had no benefits at all—
Killing them still freed Morvain, Korvath, Gruumak and other Alliance Tribe Leaders, most of whom were facing a disadvantageous battle since the enemies they were facing were stronger than them.
So—
"Cirri."
Kael called out and—.
"Yes, Father!"
Without him having to explain it—
"Start with the left!’"
Cirri, in her sky form, began guiding him, knowing exactly what her Father wanted.
Ever since the battle started, Kael had had one disadvantage—
Imperia’s Ants.
The Ants could no longer cover the entire battlefield. After all, in the battlefield there was always the risk of being stepped on, drowned in blood, attacked by beasts’ magic or different spells.
It was much different than a plain field where the Ants could clearly see who was moving where and always keep a safe distance.
So before the actual battle began, Kael ordered Imperia to move the Ants away, which, Imperia gratefully accepted because she too, did not want her daughters to die in such a brutal manner.
Of course, this didn’t mean the Ants didn’t watch the battle and give Kael the information he wanted, those away from the battlefield did watch and it wasn’t like the ants were only present on the ground, they were on the wall, on the edges that did not get attacked, they were inside a few cracks in the middle of the battlefield, cracks that, despite being right in the middle of the battlefield, were completely safe—
All these ants watched and gave Kael all the information he wanted.
But even then—
The information Kael received couldn’t be as detailed. He couldn’t know who was fighting where, not right now.
At least...
That was the case when he only relied on Imperia.
However, that wasn’t true.
Imperia wasn’t the only bond he relied on for information, he had another one.
A particular Sky Dragon whose Sky Form could cover the area with a radius of one kilometre.
With Cirri by his side, with her Sky Form covering quite a bit of the battlefield, Kael could know exactly what he wanted to know.
And Cirri—
She, knowing her Father would request it sooner or later, had already created a path. A path that led Kael to the strongest warriors on their side—
All Kael had to do was move in the direction she told him to, kill all the enemies he saw in that path, then reach the target, be it Morvain, Korvath, Gruumak, kill the enemies they were fighting and move forward.
With this—
Once he freed a few of the strongest warriors on his side, warriors who were more than capable of taking down multiple enemies at once—
He would have more help.
The pressure on the rest of their troops would ease, lowering the already rising number of casualties.
So with a direct plan in his mind—
[Draconic Surge]
Kael moved to the left just like he was told to.
Then—
He began slicing down all the enemies without waiting another second.

Within a matter of seconds, he first reached Morvain. The Velmourn Matriarch frowned, she wanted to tell him that she would manage, that he should help others, she would be fine here even when she was facing two enemies but—
Slice
Kael didn’t say anything, with his sword covered in Sword Aura, he attacked at impossible angles using his unfair advantage to fly in battle.
He killed the two enemies Morvain had been troubled against in less than twenty seconds.
Morvain only stared at that sight in horror.
She knew Kael was strong but...
When did he get this strong?
"Kael you..."
She tried to talk.
"Deal with others, save as many lives as you can."
Kael gave the orders as he rushed forward.
Now towards Gruumak.
And just like that—
One by one, he freed the strongest warriors on his side and he himself—
[Level 48 -> 49]
He levelled up.
