Is this really a Game?!

“Hhaaaa.” Reign released a long sigh after looking down at the fallen Khari, it was obvious that the beast mainly used its instincts and didn’t care a lot for strategy, even when its claws were cracked it simply continued fighting against Reign. The power the monster had was great and it was undoubtedly the most fearsome opponent the Reign had fought so far, for a monster that was simply a variant and not even an elite it truly showed great power.

One should know that Reign wouldn’t struggle this much against elites, only a mini-boss ranked enemy would only be able to make him fight such an arduous battle, not to mention that the two fought mainly in what was Reign’s specialty, speed. Reign had some cuts and bruises on his body, his left arm especially was almost completely covered in blood as the Khari managed to slash at it a couple of times, multiple claw marks could be seen on it. .

Reign couldn’t take time to rest however as multiple monsters were charging at him, the moment the Khari died and the battle finished was when all of the monsters who were observing their battle charged at him. The bloodthirsty monsters were all observing the battle between Reign and the Khari and dared not to join, but now after witnessing the death of the Khari they all charged toward him.

Reign disappeared from the spot as multiple wind blades that were followed by a freezing beam hit the location he previously stood on. The two-headed wolf had been waiting for a long time to resume their fight and after witnessing such a battle it believed that Reign was now tired and weak, a perfect target to attack.

The battlefield had changed drastically during the battle between the Khari and Reign however, there were now only about 100 monsters left, of course, all of those 100 were immensely powerful and even the weakest was above level 40, of course, it didn’t matter much as the only monsters that could pose a threat towards them and the elves were the elites which now numbered less than 20.

Greenie had finally finished his battle with the ape, the powerful creature was a bother to fight against as it had incredible physical prowess and was a couple of levels above Greenie, of course, that was still insufficient to win as Greenie had managed to get ahold of the monster’s head in the end. Using everything he had Greenie grabbed the head and started pressing into it, he was already using his [ Vajra Blood ] and the boost the ability gave him was an incredible one, every single stat was increased and he was able to contend against the ape without much difficulty.

In the end, the result was as expected, Greenie’s fingers managed to break the skull of his opponents before squashing his head, blood and brain matter exploded, and most hit Greenie who was panting a bit. He didn’t stop to rest however, he still had some more time before the [ Vajra Blood ] expires and he was going to use it to the fullest. With his hammer, he charged through the monsters in an attempt to find another elite to kill. In his strengthened state, he was able to easily dispatch the many monsters that were multiple levels higher than him, Greenie was a variant, that much was true, but he belonged to the race of Vajra Ogres who were deemed to be incredibly powerful in the whole universe.

The power he could break out with when using everything he had was immense and no monster of his own level could fight evenly against him except for area bosses and the like. Reign and the other were still confused as to how Greenie had managed to evolve into a Vajra Ogre in the first place, he started off as a goblin, then a hobgoblin brawler, and finally became a Vajra Ogre. Simply looking at it, that was supposed to be impossible as Vajra Ogres were many times more powerful than hobgoblins, even orcs and other ogres were far below them. They previously attributed it to Beast’s ability to work at that time, but that also made no sense as Greenie was not a beast and wasn’t tamed by him.

Blackie was also becoming more and more powerful and soon he would catch up to the other tamed beasts in level, even with him being a couple of levels lower than them however, he was still almost equal to the powerful variants. That of course was attributed to the small mark that the little girl they presumed to be a Low-God gave him, without that, it was obvious that he wouldn’t go through such a change, not to mention that even after so long Blackie hadn’t completely finished his evolution.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion suddenly shook the battlefield as many blue crocodiles were blasted off from the area. Wolf was previously not only attacked by the crocodiles but also by another elite that kept him busy and didn’t allow him to take care of the crocodiles who were using their water abilities in order to weaken and extinguish his flames.

With his flames not being able to function to their utmost Wolf had a hard time against his foes until he finally lost his patience. The other elite, a powerful old troll that had impressive healing abilities were finally forced down on the ground as Wolf managed to cut off one of its legs. The troll was a creature with a simple attack pattern, it was big and slow but its regeneration made it a force to be reckoned with.

Since his flames were not working properly, Wolf had to completely rely on his sword and some explosive skills that he could use, however, each time he inflicted wounds on the troll the latter would simply continue fighting while the wounds would regenerate with a speed that was visible to the eye. It didn’t matter if it was a deep cut, a bruise left from an attack that managed to crack or break a bone, burns, all of that would quickly be healed under the astonished gaze of Wolf who had no other option but continues fighting against the creature.

In the end, however, he managed to use his [ Sword of Flames ] to cut through the leg and immobilize the troll, even with one of its legs missing the troll still tried to fight as the wound was slowly healing, of course, it couldn’t regenerate the leg and that was enough for Wolf.

Immediately he charged at the crocodiles and abandoned all defense, with his powerful flaming sword he managed to get close to them before leaping in the air and stabbing down with his sword. The moment he stabbed his sword through the ground was when he activated the ability of the skill, all of the flames that were still on the ground and the sword suddenly glowed before an earth-shattering explosion took place. The water below the ground suddenly burst out from below and many crocodiles died.

The elite troll was crawling toward Wolf while an elite crocodile suddenly leaped out behind Wolf and attacked him. Wolf simply smirked as he dodged the attack, with most of the crocodiles being dead or scattered around he was finally able to use his ability to its fullest, the troll was not an opponent for Wolf as it could now only crawl and try to attack him.

…

Shadow on the other side was panting heavily as he looked at the monsters in front of him, after a long and arduous battle he was able to get to the core of the golem and destroy it, however more and more monsters were charging at him while a hidden elite monster was bombarding him with long-range attacks. Each time Shadow ran towards the elite it would run away and hide amongst the horde of monsters, making life miserable for Shadow who was now using his ability to stop the monsters and kill them with his daggers.

Tank was having a hard time as he gave it his all in order to block the attacks of a second elite that had joined the fight against him. The huge lizard was covered in blood as its tail was shattered and a leg was broken, it was right when Tank was going for the finishing attack that he was attacked by another elite.

The small creature moved incredibly fast as it sent attack after attack, Tank was struggling with its speed as he needed to constantly move around in order to manage to block the myriad of attacks sent his way. The elite in question was a strange one, its body was only about 1 meter long and it was hard to even spot it in the horde of monsters, it had a face similar to a lynx while the body was more like an armadillo’s as it was platted and hard. The razor-sharp claws and fangs of the creature were able to cut through flesh with ease and even Tank had to struggle a lot in order not to get seriously injured.

The power behind each attack wasn’t heavy however which made it easier for Tank to constantly attack while still minding the huge lizard that was in front of him. The elite would usually do a quick attack before retreating and attacking again from a different side, now however it seemed the monster had its patience run dry as it actually stayed in place in order to deliver more attacks which was a big mistake.

[ Shield Rupture ]

Tank used his skill and bashed the annoying pest with his shield, blood immediately spurted out from the creature’s mouth as it was sent flying back. It got up wobbly on its legs before staring at Tank and attacking him again. This time however the monster disappeared right before hitting Tank’s shield, before he could even understand what had happened, Tank could feel a tingling sensation at the back of his neck as his mind was ringing alarm bells.

Swish!
