The Wrath of Judgment

The moon hung high above the blood-soaked land, casting a pale glow on the battlefield. Kael stood at the heart of the city's noble district, surrounded by the finest warriors and elite guards the corrupt nobles could summon. Their armor glistened. Their enchanted weapons pulsed. Behind them, the nobles stood robed in pride and desperation, faces twisted in hatred and fear.

"He's just one man!" a noble spat. "He bleeds like the rest of us!"

"Then come and make me bleed," Kael's voice was low, calm—deafening in its confidence.

With a roar, they surged forward.

The air cracked. Kael vanished.

His sword found the throat of the first knight before their blade even left the sheath. Blood sprayed, painting the cobblestones red. He twisted, dodged a flurry of arrows, and hurled his blade like a javelin—impaling three enemies in a single, brutal strike. Before it even clanged to the ground, he was among them again, bare-handed, breaking bones and tearing limbs.

One by one, their elite magic fell apart. Lightning spells fizzled in the air, redirected by Kael's sheer presence. An ice wall rose—then shattered as Kael sprinted through it. He moved like a ghost in a storm, leaving only death in his wake.

But the guards weren't alone.

Towering brutes with beastly augmentations charged him. Holy knights, corrupted but powerful, struck with burning swords. Kael staggered slightly as a blade pierced his side—but his eyes only glowed brighter.

Then came the mimic.

It emerged from the shadows behind him, taking Kael's form. A flawless reflection, down to the cold smirk and bloodstained fists. But this time, it did something new.

It split.

One part became a wild, feral version of Kael—screaming with rage, eyes red, movements untamed. The other became sarcastic, eerily calm, mocking enemies as it fought with smooth, calculated strikes.

"Did you just swing that sword? Cute," the sarcastic mimic chuckled, backhanding a mage into a wall.

The feral mimic, meanwhile, tore through armored knights like paper, roaring with insane laughter, blood coating its hands and face.

Kael stood between the two halves of himself, his real self. The embodiment of divine justice. Silent. Focused. Divine.

The nobles panicked.

"Fall back! Fall back! He's not human!"

"He was made by the gods—he's their wrath!"

Kael walked through fire, blades, and magic. The nobles' formations collapsed. Their banners fell.

The last of the nobles knelt, trembling, trying to crawl away as Kael towered over him.

"Please… please… we were only doing what we had to."

Kael didn't respond. His sword rose.

The final noble screamed.

Silence.

And then—

Kael's eyes narrowed. He clenched his fist and looked toward the horizon, where new lands and new sins awaited.

The mimic—both halves—merged back, standing beside him like loyal shadows.

This city had been cleansed.

But the world was still filthy.

And Kael… was not done.
