[Divine Descent System - Godslayer]
BloodClaw did not waste another word. He roared and charged forward, his iron axe raised high, confident that his Level 12 power would crush the two Level 11 players in front of him. He had killed dozens of novices already, and he thought these two were just slightly stronger newbies—nothing he could not handle.
He was dead wrong.
The second BloodClaw stepped within ten meters, Shadow vanished.
He moved so fast he became a blur, his body blending into the shadows of the goblin tents. He circled behind BloodClaw in an instant, his Frostbite Dagger glowing with frost energy. He did not hesitate—he struck with the full force of his elite combat skill, targeting the enemy's unprotected back.

BloodClaw collapsed to the ground in an instant, his confident sneer frozen on his face. He did not even get to swing his axe.
The remaining fourteen Horde players froze.
Their leader—their strongest fighter—had been killed in one hit.
Terror flashed across their faces. They had never seen a player this strong, this fast, this deadly.
Zhu Shen did not give them time to panic. He planted his feet, nocked arrow after arrow, and fired with relentless precision. Each arrow found its mark—chests, throats, weak points—cutting down Horde players one by one before they could even run.

"Attack!" Kael shouted to the twenty-three Federation recruits behind him.
The novices roared and charged forward, their fear replaced by fury. They were outmatched in level, but they outnumbered the remaining Horde players, and they fought with the courage of people who had been pushed too far. Warriors swung swords, mages cast weak fire spells, archers loosed arrows—all working together, all fighting for their home.
Lila stayed safely behind the front lines, right at Shadow's side, just as Kael had ordered. Her small hands moved faster than ever, plucking Moonbloom flowers from her pouch and crushing them into fine, glowing pollen. She threw the pollen onto injured Federation recruits, and a soft, warm golden light wrapped around them, mending their wounds and steadying their shaking hands.

The recruits cheered as their health bars rose. They fought harder, bolder, knowing they had a healer watching their backs.
The battle was over in three minutes flat.
Every last Crimson Horde player lay dead on the dirt. Not a single enemy survived.
The once-bloody goblin camp fell silent—no more screams, no more laughter, no more killing. The Federation novices stared at the bodies, then at each other, and then a loud, triumphant cheer erupted across the camp. They had been hunted for hours, and now they had won—completely, utterly.

System notifications flooded every player's screen, and the recruits swarmed around Kael, Shadow, and Luna, their eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.
"Please let us join Godslayer's Legion!" a Level 7 archer begged."We'll follow you anywhere! You're our only hope!" a Level 6 mage shouted."No one else can protect us like you can! We want to fight with you!" a Level 8 warrior cried.
Kael stood tall, his expression calm and authoritative, as he looked out at the crowd of loyal recruits. This was the start of something big—their legion was no longer just three people. It was a force.
"Godslayer's Legion accepts you all," Kael announced, his voice ringing clear. "But we have one iron rule: we do not kill the weak. We do not bully. We protect. We fight only those who threaten us and our people. That is the legion's way."
A deafening cheer answered him.
Shadow stood beside Kael, silent as ever, but his cold eyes softened slightly. He had never been part of a group, never cared for others—but now, he had a legion, a family. Lila smiled happily, clutching a handful of fresh Moonbloom flowers, proud to be part of something so important.
For the first time, Godslayer's Legion was alive.
