Taranis's gaze shifted toward Kharos and Hector, who had been forced to their knees by Barbatos. Along with them, the remaining soldiers of the empire, scattered across the battlefield, were all kneeling, their weapons cast aside.
"I will kill him," Taranis muttered, stepping toward Kharos.
"Is killing Kharos more important than saving Nymeria?" Voltrex asked, tapping Taranis on the shoulder.
"I need to reach level nine to save Nymeria," Taranis revealed. "I must fight him to break through."
"Are you sure you haven't already reached the ninth level?" Voltrex's question froze Taranis.
"I'm definitely at level eigh—" He stopped mid-sentence as he sensed the depth of Soulforce within him.
"Vivi, show me the status screen."
