Chapter 97 Under Pressure

Under pressure, people break, lose faith, bend their morals, and adopt new methods to cope with their new traumas.

When Chris told his mages to get rid of those people, they didn't obey him immediately, they just started to look at each other wondering what his intentions were.

When he realized their hesitation he just yelled at them saying:" We should profit from the absence of the majority of them, this is our chance to do the right thing, i tried to save you from the burden of killing them, but now any hesitation will terminate us"

"But sir, there are only a few that are worth fighting, the majority of them are incapable of fighting" One of the mages said when he heard Chris's order.

" In order to level up, this is our only way of survival, we gave them the chance to live and keep their lives, but they didn't listen, they escaped their prison and challenged the peace in our district, we should put an end to this" Chris talked to them with anger written all over his face.

He was acting differently from his usual self, he was pressing his people and when they saw anger and fear mixed with anticipation, they freaked, they knew that something was wrong and because he was their leader none of them dared to question him .

The first hit came from a mage that was his same age,he used creation magic to create fireballs and started to hit those who were in the front, the 10 mages that were supposed to protect the people from district 2 were not enough despite their dedication, they tried to do everything to save their people but they were surrounded by huge numbers of people from district1

One of the mages from district 2 was pissed when they got the first hit, he created a yellow shield in front of him and those who were in the front but his shield was not that strong, he was not that powerful and that is why his shield disappeared right after the attack ended.

Chris gave them the order then stayed away from that place, he kept on moving there while looking at the palace like someone was looking at a precious thing, when he saw those people sitting there hiding from them

He knew the trick immediately, because just by a careful look he noticed that only women and kids and old people and the injured ones were staying there being protected by those 10 mages.

He knew they survived and were waiting for their people to come back to support them.

After much thought he concluded that they went to meet people from other districts which made him go crazy.

He had to put an end to this and by announcing the attack he just was claiming what was his from the beginning.

He looked at the palace now and then smiled, he thought that he was stupid because he didn't realize that until now.

The palace was protected for ages and he discovered that only now.

' If it is protected by divine energy, then this sacred place is full of mystery that might lead us to level up…all i have to do now is to erase all that might threaten my future  plans' Chris thought .

The 10 mages didn't give up with the first hit, they tried to talk it out with the mages from district one, but those were completely blinded by their leader's change of personality .

They started attacking as if they were seeing their worst fears coming to life, they didn't hold on since they started, all they wanted was to eliminate all the threats so that they could go back to their families.

They were not thinking clearly because he gave them half-truths and he scared them with the external threats, he pictured life with them alive like hell, and as a result they all agreed with him to terminate people from district 2.

A pregnant woman couldn't handle the situation and started to yell when the attack started, she was scared and therefore because of her panic she started to have pain and contractions in her womb.

She was in pain and when one of the mages heard her screams, he collected his divine energy and started a summoning spell, he summoned a sword that was very long, straight, with a sharpened edge, and one pointed end.

That mage started to wave the sword in the  air showing off his talent for handling the sword, all of the mages from district 2 were busy on defense when that mage ran toward that woman then threw that sword in her direction with complete focus.

He waved his hand in the air as if he was pushing the sword with his divine energy, his eyes were focusing on that woman and he didn't move them off her body until that sword was inside of her .

"AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH" She screamed.

Most of those who were there didn't notice when he attacked that woman, but they all saw the woman as she fell to the ground while touching her belly with tears in her eyes, she was screaming: " My baby, my baby " till the end of her life.

None of them helped her, some of the people from her district approached her in her final moment, and started to take away her pain to die in peace but they couldn't huddle taking it, so they stopped after seconds from trying.

The mage killed her and then said with a huge smile on his face:" I silenced the bitch"

What he said made the people from district 2 go crazy, they were on defense most of the time but with that declaration , they all started attacking randomly without a plan, seeing that woman die crucially made them lose control of their logic, and their emotions took control over them.

Even with  a  lot of water element magic, wind magic, summoning animals, and swords, people from district 2 didn't have the power to handle a big attack .

Chris yelled from afar after half an hour of that fight:" What are you doing, finish them already"
