Chapter 404: Surrender
The explosions created some spheres of pure energy and destruction, and those three immense spheres crackling with malevolent purple energy emerged amidst the battlefield. Their presence cast an eerie, foreboding glow over the scene, sending shivers down the spines of all who witnessed it.
As these colossal orbs hung ominously in the air, they threatened to consume the enemy soldiers in their impending, dreadful embrace, but they didn't it. The earth pillars made their start point above them.
Rain calculated that after ten agonizing seconds, the bodies would explode. With a chilling inevitability, the countdown reached its grim end, and the fallen soldiers met their fate. Their bodies erupted in a cataclysmic explosion of pulsating purple energy, engulfing them in a fiery maelstrom of annihilation.
The chaos in the sky made everyone paralyzed out of fear, they didn't expect to see that again.

That being said, we also know that you have your families that would suffer if you have to fall back now, so we will only hurt you enough, take your weapons, and scatter you around if you don't do anything."
The group was acutely aware of the dangerous situation they found themselves in. Continuing the fight seemed like a daunting and risky task, but they understood that they had no other viable options. Reluctantly, they steeled themselves to follow their leader's instructions, knowing that they needed to engage in combat without any intent to take lives.
It was a difficult decision, and they were well aware that some might ridicule them for their approach when attempting to regroup later. However, in their minds, it was a far better outcome than facing the prospect of imminent death on the battlefield.
"Where is Lord Orcis and Lady Lorene?" A female soldier suddenly stepped forward and then said. "I want to talk with them."
Rain recalled Julie, the female guard who worked for Orcis and was the leader of his guard. No one could say if she was part of the guys who led the attack against Rain's friends and sisters. When Rain looked at the others, they just shook their heads. It seemed that Julie wasn't part of the problem.
"Drop your weapons and give the orders to all of your men, and then we will let you see them," Rain said. "What is your answer?"
Julie nodded and dropped her weapons, her most loyal guards did the same but some of them stepped back while looking uneasy. They didn't want to do that since they probably tried to attack Rain's friends and sisters.
"You all have half five minutes to drop your weapons," Rain added while not holding back his bloodlust. "Those who keep their weapons will face me."
The enemy soldiers found themselves on the battlefield, gripped by fear and drenched in cold sweat as they confronted the formidable aura emanating from Rain. It was an aura that left no room for doubt, suffocating them with its overwhelming presence. They couldn't deny the grim reality that they stood no chance against this force.
This bloodlust was unlike anything they had ever encountered. It was the embodiment of someone who had faced death head-on and narrowly escaped its grasp. It sent shivers down their spines, instilling bone-deep fear and trepidation. Faced with such an insurmountable presence, they felt powerless and defeated even before the battle had truly begun.
