Some time earlier...
Commander Levinian watched Kyle leave his base quietly.
Then, he sent orders to one of his Area Commanders to support him, while sending orders to two other Area Commanders to support as soon as the Aura Expander was activated.
Commander Levinian watched Kyle activate his Aura Expander.
Afterward, he gave an order to all of his other Area Commanders within the vicinity of Kyle's aura.
"Order: Hold positions!"
At the same time, he sent messages to the Commanders of the other Forts.
"Request for aid! Aura Expander has been activated with unexpected intensity!"
Naturally, this intensity wasn't unexpected at all. After all, it was launched at minimum intensity.
Commander Levinian watched hundreds of teams from the other Forts rushing towards Kyle, but that didn't matter. They wouldn't arrive in time.
He had only sent that message to keep his identity as a human.
He had infiltrated Humanity by killing the previous Levinian, who had just been a squad leader on the frontlines near Fort X-355. After killing him, he consumed him and copied his aura and mannerisms, giving him access to his Emblem, which contained enough information about Levinian to create a profile.
Then, he had simply continued acting like a human and continued climbing the ranks.
His mission was to stay undercover and silently sabotage Humanity.
To protect his identity, he commanded his Fort as if he were actually trying to protect Humanity. This resulted in an average performance for a Fort. After all, even if he tried his best, there were still far better Commanders out there.
Yet, every century or millennium, whenever he saw an especially talented individual, he would find a way to kill them. The number of deaths under his command was average, but the deaths of talented individuals were very high in number.
When he saw Kyle's Emblem, he immediately knew that he had to get rid of him.
His Battle-Strength had been rated as very high, and on top of that, he had a True Sin Aura. Even more, the advised number of killed mission targets was 50 times higher than normal.
So, he sent Kyle to the frontlines with a minimum Aura Expander setting of 10%.
However, this was not what he wrote in the records. According to the records, the setting went from 1% to 15%. 15% was already insanely high, but it would seem appropriate when one considered Kyle's file.
According to his plan, Kyle and everyone around him would be run over and killed by the horde of Demons. Of course, his Emblem also wouldn't survive the battle, which meant all the evidence and witnesses were gone.
If any inquiry happened as to why Commander Levinian hadn't sent aid, he would just say that he didn't believe Kyle would survive. If he sent people, the frontlines would collapse. He had to keep the bigger picture in mind.
This would just be one of several incidents.
Yet, when Commander Levinian saw a team of five Sect Members leaving Fort S-878, he became suspicious. Usually, the Fort of the Magnet was supposed to send such a team as support, but only if the intensity of the Aura Expander was set at 5% or more.
The fact that Commander Meristo of Fort S-878 sent a team was highly suspicious.
Commander Levinian realized that he was already being suspected of being a double agent as soon as he saw the team leaving Fort S-878.
He decided to play it safe for a while after the incident passed.
As expected, the Demons started attacking rapidly, and it looked like Kyle was about to die.
But then, Kyle activated his Domain, and Commander Levinian narrowed his eyes.
No matter, he would die anyway.
And then...
He survived.
The team of Sect Members arrived and created their defenses as over a thousand teams of Shields joined as well.
