The thusian soldiers were in chaos seeing the scary sky above them. Some of them noticed Michael's figure hovering in the sky and began to shout at others. They all collectively waited for General Barnett. Some rushed toward the tent in the center to notify the general. Little did they know Michael had killed General in his sleep. The soldiers were just going to find a headless body on a bed. Without knowing the danger they were in, the soldiers prepared to defend themselves.

"What's he doing?" Bryce asked the advisors when they joined in the air.

Ghost was just hovering in the sky with his hands behind his back. His long black coat fluttered in the wind, along with his raven black hair. But suddenly, an ear-splitting thunderclap resonated in the air. Hundreds of lightning bolts struck the ground at the same time. The sky turned bright as day. Bryce and his men felt their neck hair standing up. They could feel the electricity in the air. The tents that were hit by lightning immediately caught fire. Bryce saw soldiers turning into skeletons in a split second. Hollow armor hit the ground with a sickening thud. The thusians didn't even have time to scream. In a mere moment, hundreds of lives were snuffed out by Ghost.

This was the ultimate form of Ignitia. The spell created a violent storm and produced precisely a hundred and twenty bolts of golden lightning. These lightning bolts jumped from soldier to soldier due to their high electricity and the soldiers' metal armor. The system notifications continuously rang in Michael's head.

[Congratulations to host 'Michael' for leveling up. The current stage is Half Immortal Level 4]

Michael leveled up. Each level in the Half Immortal stage cost him a whopping 5 million experience points. So Michael needed to kill a hundred Boyd Strengthening stage cultivators or ten Fusion stage cultivators. Because of such a humongous amount, the system recommended Michael find energy sources that could be converted through Energy devourer into Experience points.

Bryce and his men felt a chill. They had been fighting the thusians for weeks now. But all it took Ghost was a few seconds to end their lives. For the first time in their lives, they witnessed the true power of a Half Immortal. This was the reason why the Immortal council was created. Cultivators above the Fusion stage were god-like beings. They could destroy an entire kingdom with a few spells. Even if hundreds of Fusion stage cultivators attacked a Half Immortal at once, they wouldn't be able to kill him. They needed an Immortal killing weapon. Even with such a weapon, the odds of killing one would be little to none, especially when the collateral damage would decimate everything around them. The world hadn't seen a rogue Half Immortal causing such trouble for centuries.

Michael looked down to see his handiwork. The ground was still electrified as tiny bolts of blue lightning crisscrossed the ground, creating a buzzing noise. Not a single Thusian soldier survived the wrath of the lightning storm. Fortunately for the villagers, they were caged out of Ignitia's area of effect.

"General Bryce," Michael's words echoed through the air. His words snapped General Bryce out of his shock. They hesitated to move toward Ghost after witnessing such an overwhelming show of power. The air itself was riddled with the smell of burning flesh and melting iron. Furthermore, the eerie silence returned to the place as the storm clouds dissipated. Yet, the horror it produced remained still.

Eventually, General Bryce and his men moved toward Michael. They couldn't take their gazes away from the smoke and ash clouds emanating from the ground.

"Your people are caged that way," Michael pointed at the forest north of the campsite. Some of the advisors and soldiers immediately rushed toward the forest. They felt terrified to even be near Michael.

"So, shall we go meet your king?" asked Michael.

"Master Ghost, can you give me some time to arrange a meeting between you and his majesty?"

Michael nodded. After his ultimate show of power, anyone would be afraid to meet him suddenly, especially a king. Michael knew General Bryce and the king would take some time to pick a safe place and time for their meeting.

"Sure thing. You have two hours to give me an answer," Michael said with a calm smile. He was not a mere cultivator who would have to wait for a king's permission anymore. Instead, the kings had to wait for him. Seeing the perplexed look on Bryce's face, Michael patted him on the shoulder.

"Relax, you guys are not my enemy, and I don't go around making enemies because I am stronger. I give you my word. No harm will come to your king from me,"

Michael's words calmed Bryce's mind. He might not be as strong as Ghost, but Bryce had enough experience to tell whether someone was speaking honestly or not. Besides, General Bryce didn't think there was a way to stop Ghost in case he wanted to kill Gunner, the king of Suven.

"We will teleport to your capital. Get your things ready. I will meet you in your camp in ten minutes," Michael descended to the ground leaving Bryce speechless.

As Ghost moved closer to the ground, all the damaged armor and bones began to float. In a few seconds, a large cloud of ash containing armor and bones hovered in the air. Bryce creased his brows, wondering what Ghost was doing. Soon, a bright light shot out of Ghost, enveloped the ash cloud, and faded away along with it. Ghost dated his arms as he ascended to the air once again.

"Let's go,"

(A few hours ago in Coalfell)

Gaya was waiting for the thusians to surround them with Yagnar and his men. After a few minutes, an eight feet man armed to the teeth arrived at the arena with a group of knights. All of them were clad in metal armor, and except their heads, every part of their body was covered in silver armor. The leading man was Soul Refining stage level 5 warrior. His long black beard almost touched his belly button. The knights behind him conjured a ball of light, illuminating the entire arena.

Yagnar and his men closed their eyes for a moment because of the brightness. But as soon as the thusians saw the group, their faces turned pale. Even the Soul Refiner, who could scare anyone with its gigantic body, got scared. He took a step back. Why? Because Yaganar and his men carried pikes with thusian soldiers stuck to them like kabab.

"Help," An eerie cold gasp sounded from Gaya's group. The thusians saw something that scared them for their life. General Maddox, he was stuck to a pike and held by an orc. Once terrifying general was missing his lower body. His mouth moved, asking for help. The thusians saw hundreds of heads stuck to pikes. All of them had their eyes wide open. Even an oblivious man could tell those people died a terrifying death.

"These are all your fellow soldiers who foolishly attempted to take over the capital," Gaya's playful voice echoed through the arena.

"And this is your beloved General Maddox," Gaya grabbed the pike from Yagnar and raised it above.

The thusians were speechless. More than that, they were terrified.

"Here's our offer. Drop your shit and run back to your kingdom with your tails between your legs. Or we could do the same to you and show it to the thusians in Mainville. You have a minute to make your decision," Gaya lowered General Maddox and moved his hand like a puppet. Her gesture made the thusians furious. But they were more terrified than furious. They all knew how powerful General Maddox was. So if the Zulons did that to Maddox, they could imagine what they would do to them.

"Come on Maddy, tell your soldiers to save themselves," Gaya said to Maddox. Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear her.

"You don't want him to come here, do you?"

Maddox's eyes barely had the light of life. But when he was reminded of Michael, his eyes widened.

"Listen to her. Inform his majesty. Avenge us," These words barely escaped Maddox's mouth. After all, Michael only gave him enough healing potion to keep him alive.

Hearing those words, the thusians were stunned. It was obvious to them the Zulons broke his spirit completely. Some couldn't even believe it was really their General.

"We will avenge you hear, and now, General," The Soul Refining stage captain growled. Yagnar turned his head to see Gaya grinning as though she was expecting this.

Gaya threw the pike to Yagnar. The very next moment, a long wooden bow and a golden arrow materialized in her hand.

"KILL THEM ALL!" The thusian captain roared. He lunged at Yagnar and his group. But his body suddenly exploded in the mid air. Rain of blood poured over the thusians. Everyone including Yagnar and his men were startled. They couldn't tell what just happened. One moment the captain was in the middle and the next, he turned into a bloody mist.

Yagnar jerked his head to the side. To his surprise, Gaya had her bow raised. She fired an arrow made of pure first energy at the Soul Refining stage captain. She imbued three kinds of energy into one arrow; Celestial energy, Arch energy and finally, the First energy. The combination of these energies were powerful enough to make a Soul Refiniger explode like a watermelon.

"Nightmare, finish them all," Her words broke the silence. The thusians halted their steps. Suddenly, the area grew darker. Yaganr looked up at the sky as he saw a shadow of a dragon above the dark clouds. Just like before, a stream of fire shot down through the clouds. The thusians screamed in agony. Their armors melted like butter. But none of them could pinpoint where the fire was coming.

This time, Yagnar was sure. There was a dragon hovering above the clouds. He was sure of it. Although the thusians were their enemies, seeing them burning to death made Yagnar feel a bit of pity for them. The smell of burning flesh overwhelmed their nostrils.

Gaya watched the burning thusians with no expression on her face. She just turned her head to look at Yagnar.

"Take the armors on the ground and kill anyone who escaped the fire. Kabab their bodies and prepare to march toward the next city,"
