Salute To The General

Meanwhile, at the plaza outside, Nathan, leading Colin, Ava, and the Elite Eight, passed through the enemy's formation and strode across the open field to arrive before the entrance of the Curia's palace. Behind Nathan, pandemonium reigned among the army as the Curia's fifty thousand warriors toppled like bowling pins.

Some of them were even injured.

Moreover, a long trail of footprints was left where Nathan had walked past. Nathan had lived up to his words as he had indeed created his own path. Pale-faced, Milo, Daveth, and a group of cardinals approached Nathan. They didn't anticipate him to have truly passed the first test.

Even an army of fifty thousand warriors from the Curia failed to stop him.

It was far too embarrassing.

Milo and the others felt humiliated and were even more ashamed to see the footprints left by Nathan on the Curia's plaza as if each footprint was a hard slap across their faces.

They wanted so badly to remove those footprints at once.

However, little did they imagine those footprints they found to be mortifying would one day be something the Curia would flaunt proudly as footprints left by a god when Nathan became an internationally-renowned supreme being and God of War idolized by everyone. But of course, that would only happen in the distant future.
