SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Beast Horde [2]

Thousands of eyes followed Kael’s figure as it rocketed into the sky.

He climbed higher and higher, his body becoming nothing more than a black streak cutting through the air, yet no one could bring themselves to look away.

"Who is that?"

"How did he jump that high?"

"Is he... a high-level Hunter?"

The whispers spread like wildfire through the gathering crowd.

Hope, disbelief, confusion.

Every emotion mixed together.

If a high-level Awakener had truly been inside the fortress all along...

Then perhaps...

Just perhaps...

They had a chance of surviving this disaster.

Kael’s ascent continued for several more seconds before he finally reached the height of the fortress walls. His figure soared over the battlements before descending onto the massive wall itself.

BOOM!

Stone shattered beneath his feet.

The entire wall trembled violently as the impact echoed across the battlefield, dust erupting into the air while cracks spread beneath the point of landing.

The sudden arrival immediately drew the attention of every soldier stationed atop the walls.

Dozens of armored soldiers instinctively turned toward him.

Weapons were unsheathed.

Spears lowered.

Bows drawn.

Mana surged through the air as they prepared themselves for the worst.

Nobody knew who this young man was.

Nor why he had suddenly appeared in the middle of a battlefield.

Kael paid them no attention.

His eyes swept across the place before stopping on a single individual standing not too far away.

The man possessed neatly combed blond hair and sharp features that gave him a naturally charismatic appearance. Even standing still, an unmistakable aura of authority surrounded him.

The two locked eyes.

For several seconds...

Neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere grew heavy as every soldier silently waited, uncertain whether the next moment would erupt into violence.

Kael broke the silence first. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Are you Victor Smith? The one who made the announcement."

Victor gave a small nod.

"I am."

His gaze remained fixed on Kael.

"And who are you?"

"What exactly are you trying to accomplish by making such an entrance?"

His voice remained calm.

Measured.

Yet beneath that calmness lay unquestionable authority.

The leap Kael had just performed was enough to prove he wasn’t an ordinary Awakener.

Even so...

Victor had no intention of lowering his guard.

This fortress had already descended into crisis.

If this unknown young man intended to exploit the situation...

He would fight him without hesitation, regardless of the difference in strength.

Kael remained completely indifferent to the hostility directed at him.

His eyes shifted briefly toward the battlefield beyond the walls before returning to Victor.

"Order an immediate strategic withdrawal."

"The soldiers holding the front line are to fall back."

"I’ll handle the main beast horde."

"The rest of your forces can remain behind and reinforce me if necessary."

Silence.

Utter silence.

Every soldier standing nearby froze.

Several stared blankly at Kael as though wondering if they had misheard him.

One man...

Handle the beast horde?

Alone?

Some soldiers couldn’t even hide their expressions.

Their mouths hung slightly open while disbelief filled their eyes.

Even Victor’s composure cracked for the briefest of moments.

Shock flashed across his face before disappearing almost instantly.
