12 Maximum loyalty
As the gigantic skeleton army charged towards William and his generals, they all summoned their own armies.
Suddenly a hundred skeletons appear among them only 9 are rank skeletons (E-), 5 from William and only one from Arthur.
Indeed generals do not have direct access to level 2 of hell. They must first defeat the level 1 boss before they can advance to level 2.
To defeat the level 1 boss you must at least have the strength of a rank (E).
Unfortunately it has already taken a long time for Arthur to find the boss and as soon as he upgraded to level 2 he received the summons from the system so he was unable to strengthen his army.
William is just an exception for defeating the boss at rank (F +) because [The Wrath of a King] allowed him to statistically crush the boss. So for now Edward, Charles and Frederick must upgrade to rank (E) or increase a skill to rank (D) before they can go level 2.
In addition, all the generals have for the moment a constitution of the warrior type. Wisdom, intelligence and soul power are all between 30 and 40. But this is normal, it is just William who is different from the others.
After all William is the true owner of the System, his generals are just normal users of the system.
The difference between them is the same as between a GM and an ordinary gamer in a video game.
Facing the huge army, William thought of something then a Machiavellian smile appeared on his face.
His allies standing at his side were all frightened by this smile but at the same time this smile gave them confidence to face this army.
Indeed William has become their spiritual pillar and also an incredible figure in their eyes since they became his generals.
Even before becoming generals, William had completely dominated Edward, Charles and Frederick together.
Although Edward lost his arm during this fight, he no longer has any negative thoughts towards William.
Edward already knows that his arm will grow back one day because now he only has to kill skeletons until one day he reaches a life form that has extraordinary regeneration capacity.
Plus there are still plenty of features to unlock so there might be one that helps him push his arm away.
Although this explanation is a bit long, not even a second has passed since William smiled evil.
William just activated his normal dark aura and then strangely his aura grew more and more out of control, his smile becoming more and more evil.
His aura slowly reached its peak and suddenly a huge shock wave exploded from his position. All the skeletons and the generals were pushed back at once except for Arthur who only took a few steps back.
Indeed William activated [Wrath of a King] all statistics are doubled! Combined with [Endurance Endurance], William has no opponents and he can last as long as he wants.
All were frightened by the power released by William. Even divine warriors to their knowledge cannot fend off higher ranked opponents with just their auras!
They already know that their King is a rank (E-) but his aura has already exceeded rank (E +) although he has not reached rank (D-) it is still extremely scary!
After his aura burst William said calmly keeping his smile on but not looking back.
"Me alone is enough. Just enjoy the good show. "
Seeing this fearful aura, these words filled with confidence and exuding an utterly unbridled arrogance, the ancient patriarchs had the impression that the back of this young man became immensely taller, as if his shoulders could support the weight of a mountain.
They all felt a new vigor invade their bodies and their whole bodies were filled with energy.
All their doubts were swept away and they all know that from that point on they did not pledge allegiance to the wrong person.
"Haha, my King, leave this kind of task up to your loyal subordinates to take the lead," said Edward, letting his own dark aura burst out.
His words had not yet completely faded as his figure already appeared a hundred yards away.
There is only 900 yards between Edward and the Skeleton Army. Seen from above he is only a small black dot facing a gigantic wave of white dot yet no fear could be read on his face.
No, he even wore a smile!
"Oh old man, you stole my sentence! Charles continued as he also began to run and give off his own dark aura.
"I really feel like I am regaining my weakness when I was just a small rank (F) in the middle of a huge battle, not knowing when I will suddenly have a sword planted in my body. "
Yet saying this sentence Frédéric did not reveal any sadness but only excitement. He also plunged towards the middle of the skeleton army.
"No person who can switch to another life form by relying on his own will can be underestimated," concluded William, seeing his subordinates outstrip him.
"My King let me take care of protecting those 3 idiots" Arthur said calmly as he appeared on his knees in front of me.
William looked at him calmly still giving off his terrifying aura. He simply replied:
"Just go if you feel like fighting." "
"So I'll join them. Arthur's figure also appeared hundreds of yards in less than a second not far behind the other 3.
The 4 generals lined up as if they had an agreement between them. Their black aura mingling with each other, giving off a suffocating aura.
If this were a normal human army the whole army within a mile radius would already be lying face down and not even being able to stand up.
But they face skeletons with no emotion or conscience, naturally that has no effect. But they still do.
When they later teach the young geniuses joining William's army, the geniuses will ask:
"Why is it always important to give off your own aura when fighting skeletons?" "
They will always respond with a smile:
"Because it's domineering! But the real answer is because the black aura represents the bond of subordination to King William.
Of course, when the King is present, the generals are required to put on a good show for him.
If William asked the systems for the loyalty of the generals he would have:
Arthur: 100/100
Edward: 100/100
Charles: 100/100
Frédéric: 100/100
Watching the incredible scene in front of him he temporarily refrains from joining the fight and not even any allied skeletons joined the fight.
A few seconds passed and finally the 4 men met the gigantic army.
* Boom * * Boom * * Boom * * Boom *
4 explosions arose at the time of the collision and dozens of skeletons were sent stolen. They didn't even bother to draw their swords.
With the power of their fists, they are killing machines.
And it doesn't end here.
* Boom * * Boom * * Boom ** Boom *
A magnificent symphony of explosions began.
4 men blocking an army of more than 100,000 skeletons.
What a spectacular scene.
All of them wore magnificent armor and you could see tremendous excitement on their faces.
However there are not only weak skeletons of rank (F). A dark aura appeared not far from the explosions.
Noticing the new aura, he silently ordered an order to the master swordsman.
The master swordsman released his aura and walked over to the other skeleton.
10 seconds later a huge explosion different from the others suddenly appeared triggering a mini-earthquake a few hundred meters away.
Yet the generals don't want to lose the least bit. They increase the power of their blow even if it comes to the detriment of their stamina.
So small sandstorms broke out everywhere and hundreds of skeletons flew into the air with each explosion.
Various aura appeared among the enemies of the skeletons. For each will have a skeleton of rank (E-) left to take care of it.
Until the 6 rows (E-) disappear and only the rows (F) remain with William watching the fight from afar. In this kind of fight they are totally useless.
When all the skeletons found their opponents, and even the generals began to face the ranks (E-) skeletons, the battlefield reached its paradox.
The explosions no longer form a pretty melody but more rock music with a very sustained rhythm.
Unfortunately, reality is starting to catch up with fantasy. Ranks (F) cannot join the battlefield, but there are more than a hundred ranks (E-), ten ranks (E) and one rank (E +) present on this battlefield.
It's only a matter of time before they all gather around the generals.
In 30 seconds, the situation is already starting to be worrying. The wounds accumulate on the bodies of the generals, the allied skeletons have already suffered losses and William had to resuscitate them.
William looked briefly at his status window
[HP: 520/520]
[MP: 108/111]
Already 3 risen skeletons. Of course they didn't die for nothing, they inflicted enough damage to kill their opponents when resurrected.
5 minutes later
The explosions still haven't abated but have increased. Even William has trouble seeing the full battlefield situation because it is so chaotic.
At least 5 row (E-) skeletons surround one of William's row (E-) skeletons.
Generals are in a worse situation with at least 3 Rank Skeletons (E-) and 2 Rank Skeletons (E).
Their HP is at a critical point, all they can do is survive now.
[520/520]
[MP: 98/111]
In return, they have already destroyed half of the opposing ranks (E-) and 3 rank skeletons (E).
An aura surpassing all those present on the battlefield appeared.
"Finally appeared, now it's my turn" William arrived in less than 5 seconds on the battlefield.
"Everyone retreat, you have already fought enough. William ordered in a tone that tolerates no refusal.
Of course the generals do not agree, to retreat means to flee, but they had no choice but to obey. They all know it is their own weaknesses to blame.
If they had enough strength they could just wipe out this battleground with one punch. Their king wouldn't even need to act.
As they prepared to retire, the 4 generals saw a scene they would never forget in their lives.
William who had appeared began to unleash his aura frantically and in less than a second he approached a skeleton of rank (E-) then threw him a punch filled with a power unimaginable for a mortal.
The skeleton flew directly hundreds of meters away.
a notification was displayed above the rank skeleton (E-)
-250
All rank (E-) skeletons have at least 300 health so that's not enough for one-shot.
But no problem, William is just warming up, it's even better if the training models are more resistant.
After this punch he approached another skeleton, he arrived almost squatting in front of the skeleton and made an uppercut. The skeleton flew tens of meters vertically.
William quickly joined him in the air and appearing above the skeleton he flipped his leg and quickly sent it into the skeleton's skull. This one descended even faster than it had ascended.
When the skeleton landed a huge explosion was heard in a radius of several kilometers. A gigantic hole of red sand formed as a sandstorm erupted all around.
A new number appeared above the skeleton.
-550
Almost triple the damage inflicted on the master swordsman when William was in rank (F +) which shows the power of this blow.
The skeleton was totally shattered into several thousand pieces.
As William wanted to hire another skeleton he felt a sense of threat coming to his left. He hastened to a halt as a punch went right past him. The pressure of that punch even made him take a few steps back.
Looking at the 2.5 meter tall skeleton and its impressive build, William was slightly impressed.
"Tch, it's not too early I was starting to get impatient" William exclaimed but his expression had become serious.
