Reign nodded, his jaw set in a firm line. "We understand the gravity of our actions, Uncle Jin, but this world we are now living in does not allow for the luxury of being nice and forgiving, especially to those like us who are responsible for so many people."
"Innocent lives are at stake, lives of our people, as well as those that did nothing to deserve what the bastards in that base are doing to them."
"In certain ways, they are worse than even the monsters that have appeared on the planet, they're beneath everything else in my opinion, and need to be taken down."
"While people are dying, while we are doing our best to beco stronger, to take care of people, and to reach the goal of this damned ga and save our planet and everything we hold dear, what do they do, huh?" Reign asked as he stared into Jin's eyes.
"They act like this is their own personal playground."
"They act as if they can do whatever their depraved minds want them to do, without any consequences, without anybody there to stop them like before."
"And for that, I will gladly kill every single one of them, without batting an eye and without losing a second of sleep."
"They deserve what is coming from them, as does every other person that acts like they do, every single one."
Reign's voice was calm, and yet, there was a certain danger, a chill hidden deep inside of it that made those around him feel as if the temperature had dropped by a couple of degrees.
He was right about what he said, none of them were denying it, after all, they had all killed people before, so in self-defense, others because they deserved it, and none of them regretted what they had done, not in the slightest.
They all knew that in order to beco more powerful, they would need to leave behind them a trail of death, mountains of corpses, and rivers of blood.
Who knew exactly how many of those that reached the realm of gods had killed in order to reach their current level?
They probably killed so many they feel nothing when killing now, they probably left so much destruction, so much death behind them, that what Reign and the others had done before, and what they were going to do, was child's play compared to them.
And they were aiming to reach that realm in the future, which ant they would have to do the sa.
"You are right about what you say, but listen to , Reign." Jin suddenly said with a calm expression.
"In your path to reach greatness and to help those that follow you, do not allow yourself to think that being kind is weakness, that killing is everything that needs to be done."
"I don't want that for you, for any of you."
"In a better world, one we had lived before, you kids wouldn't have done any of the things you had to do so far, you would have been able to live peacefully, just like everybody deserves to live."
"Alas, we live in a world that does not allow that, one where we need to do things like this to survive and create a better future for ourselves."
"Just … don't allow yourselves to get in too deep with all of it, alright?"
Reign and the others stared at Jin before all nodding at him, after which he sighed and looked at the base of the Wardens.
"It's ti."
Reign and the others nodded at him before staring at the base as well.
As the sun began to rise, casting a golden light over the base of the Wardens, Reign, and the others took a deep breath, steeling themselves for the battle ahead. With a nod from Reign, they surged forward, their weapons at the ready, as they charged towards the base.
All of them, over 400 people charged forward, Reign and the others leading them and going tens of ters in advance to attack.
For the guards of the Wardens, it happened suddenly, without any of them being able to respond on ti.
Reign and the others didn't hold back and attacked with everything they had, striking the barrier around the base with great ferocity.
Reign's attack arrived first, a great spear of black lightning that struck before the guards could even identify what it was.
Hundreds of small lightning bolts were discharged as the spear collided with the barrier, dancing on its surface as cracks imdiately appeared on it.
The attacks of Shadow and the others arrived right after Reign's spear.
Wolf launched a powerful wave of flas, Mia sent forward a hamr made of ice, Shadow struck with his darkness, using his [ Darkness Implosion ], Tank swung his axe down, causing the ground to split as a wave of axe light arrived at the barrier, striking it with imnse force.
Laura used her ray of demonic energy, Greenie launched his hamr, Aelrinder stabbed forward with his spear, sending a powerful blast of concentrated wind while Beast did the sa with his bow and arrow.
Jin's attack, however, was a bit different.
His weapon of choice was a pair of old bronze knuckles. They looked unimpressive and brittle, but they were an SSS rank weapon and were considered to be quite powerful.
He punched in front of him with full force, and the knuckles on his right hand shone a brilliant golden color as the air in front of him distorted before a powerful explosion suddenly took place in front of the barrier.
That was his ability, explosions.
He could, with his mana, create an explosion almost anywhere.
At first, he had to strike a monster in order for the explosion to happen, but he was already experienced with mana and knew how to utilize it before the system even arrived, thus it was easy for him to master his new ability.
Previously, he had trained the sa thing that Reign's father had trained and made his body incredibly sturdy and powerful, but now, with the ability, he was many tis more powerful.
Soon, Jin learned to control his ability better and quickly leveled it up, allowing him to do much more with it.
He was able to strike the ground or any other surface and control the flow of mana, allowing it to travel forward before an explosion took place.
That was what he had used back when the ga was still in its early stages, he had punched the ground, and the monsters that were nearby, that he had baited with a carcass of another monster, were engulfed in the powerful explosion and killed without knowing what hit them.
It was an incredibly useful ability, one that allowed Jin to attack in both lee and from a long distance.
With the explosion taking place, the barrier shattered, and the people inside the base were beyond shocked.
The guards who were awake stared at the people who appeared in front of the base in shock before noticing the hundreds of people who were charging at their base.
The spies that Jin had planted inside the base quickly took action.
They hadn't gone to sleep like most of the base and were waiting for the attack to start.
The mont they heard the first strike hit the barrier, they moved, making their way to where the slaves were kept.
Reign and the others entered the base, quickly attacking and annihilating the guards who could not defend against them.
Even the strongest guards who were awake, who had reached Tier V, were unable to last a second against Reign and the others, their fates sealed, just like the rest of them.
As the chaos unfolded inside the base, Reign and the others moved with precision and determination. Their goal was clear: to locate and free the innocent captives held by the Wardens and defeat the leaders, as well as the other notable characters of the Wardens.
Tank and Greenie quickly made their way deeper inside the base, moving toward those who were captured by the Wardens.
Reign and Jin stood in front of the two leaders who had quickly arrived inside the base with grim expressions on their faces while Shadow and the others were taking care of the enemy Tier V combatants, which would only take a minute or two.
"You, I should have known you would attack us after allying with these bastards." The tall man said as he stared into Jin's eyes, his eyes red from anger.
"It's your own fault, had you bastards decided to turn over a new leaf, and acted normally, you wouldn't die today." Reign said as the tall man scoffed at him.
"And who the hell are you, a little kid that is wet behind the ears, to dare speak to like that, huh?!" The tall man asked as Reign chuckled.
"Seriously, how the hell did a moron like you survive for so long?"
"What did you say?" The man asked in a low voice as he stared at Reign with a murderous expression.
"I said." Reign suddenly took a step forward and arrived in front of the man before kneeing him in the face.
"You're a moron, and a weak one too."
