William, wielding a spear, quickly attacked the closest of the four targets. Rather than capturing, he chose to eliminate his opponent.
To justify his actions, taking a foe alive was more challenging than ending their life, especially when he was at a disadvantage. He couldn't afford to be lenient.
He was also unaware of the power granted to him, prompting his hasty choice to take a life.
"Gerald! Move!" One of the four insurgents shouted urgently. With William's aggressive move, everyone present understood that a battle was bound to happen.
William's agility was formidable. As the commander of the nation, he was the most battle-hardened. The man's response was slightly delayed, and though he avoided a fatal strike, his left arm suffered a deep wound.
"WILLIAM! YOU BASTARD!!!" The injured man howled in agony, hurling insults at William as if he were the vilest creature.
