Is this really a Game?!

Scrreee!

A loud noise of metal scraping against metal could be heard as the elite used its claws to slash at the back of Tank’s neck, thankfully he listened to his instinct and used his ability to reinforce the back of his neck in order to defend against the attack. Even when put against the bronze-like tough skin of Tank’s the claws of the elite weren’t blocked as a clear claw mark was left on the neck.

A bit of blood started flowing out from the wound but thankfully it wasn’t anything serious and Tank was still able to fight normally. The attack had made him even warier of the elite, his senses were heightened to the limit as he immediately turned around and slashed at the small monster with his scythe. The scythe managed to hit the monster in the stomach but unfortunately, the metal-like plates managed to mitigate most of the damage as only a shallow cut from which a bit of blood flew out was left.

The monster immediately retreated as it stared at Tank hatefully, not only did the human manage to block most of its attacks and deliver a counterattack previously, but even its surprise attack was mostly ineffective as well. The cut that was delivered by the scythe hurt the monster a bit as it hissed at Tank before running in circles around him. Tank’s response was a weird one as he simply stood straight while closing his eyes.

The elite’s eyes shone brightly as it saw the sight and immediately launched itself at Tank, arriving at his right side, with the great speed it delivered a fearsome slash towards his ribs.

Clang!

Suddenly Tank’s eyes opened wide as he immediately turned his body to his right and used his shield to block the attack, smirking at the monster he actually discards his scythe and grabs its body before slamming it down on the ground. ．𝙘𝙤𝙢

The monster immediately gasps for air as the powerful blow manages to force the air from its lungs to exit the body. Immediately the monster starts struggling but Tank’s hand doesn’t budge even for a moment as he keeps a firm grip on the monster before using the edge of his shield to attack it.

Each hit of the shield’s edge draws blood from the monster as the shield becomes bloody, the ground beneath the monster starts cracking slowly as the powerful impacts travel through it. Soon the growls of the monster turned into shrieks and then whimpers, its face was disfigured and bloody all over as Tank continues attacking it.

The powerful claws of the monster were constantly scrapping against Tank’s arm and multiple wounds could be seen as his arm was covered in blood, even whit that he doesn’t relax his grip for even a moment as he knew this was the best chance to kill the monster. It was obvious that the monster belonged to the fast and deadly type that could kill its enemies before even being seen, once such a monster was caught however or its movement was restricted it became a lot easier to deal with as they usually didn’t have strong defensive capabilities.

“Huh?” Tank suddenly stops for a moment as he utters the words, he suddenly felt the wind blowing at the right side of his face, before he could even turn around a powerful attack hit him on the side and sent him flying for a couple of meters, the impact was sudden and he, unfortunately, lost the grip he had on the small elite.

The lizard he had previously fought against was glaring at him with eyes filled with hatred, not only did the human in front of him break one of its legs and his tail but it even dared to completely ignore him and fight against another monster without a care in the world. Seeing that the fight was going favorably for Tank the lizard immediately charged at him and delivered a headbutt from the side.

Tank coughed out a bit of blood as the impact had damaged him slightly, he had become so engrossed in fighting and then later doing everything he could to kill the small monster that he had completely forgotten about the giant lizard. The small elite suddenly gets up and scrambles in order to escape but Tank immediately used his [ Knight’s Roar ] in order to get its attention and prevent it from fleeing.

Since the monster was in great distress the skill worked perfectly and it suddenly turned around and charged at Tank. He knew that he had to quickly take care of it without the lizard interfering again, if the small monster managed to escape and hide in the horde it would become incredibly difficult to find it and a stealthy attack could prove fatal during an intense battle.

The others were all doing their best as well, Wolf was slowly finishing up the two elites as he hacked and slashed away, nearby monsters that tried to attack him were all decimated by his powerful sword and flames. The troll had managed to get up on one leg and tried fighting against Wolf again, only to be brought down to the ground once more.

Shadow had managed to locate the elite that was bombarding him from afar, to his surprise it was not one elite but two that were constantly firing at him at different intervals, making it a lot more difficult to locate and defeat them. It was only by luck that he had managed to find them quickly and now he was engrossed in a close-quarters fight with one of them, the elite was mainly focused on long-range attacks and it was clear that it had zero chance of survival.

Beast and Laura had continued bombarding the horde before Beast had fused with the golden lion, a couple of monsters and two elites were currently fighting his beasts and it was not possible to stop an approaching elite with only long-range attacks. The power Beast had gained after fusing allowed him to fight against the elite and slowly he was beating him down.

The elves were doing incredibly well. They had already managed to kill 3 elites and some of the players and elves had even left the safety of the dome and started fighting some isolated monsters. Although their levels were lower and they had to be incredibly careful when fighting the monsters it was still worth it as together they were able to bring them down. The elite soldiers and the royal guards had moved further away from the dome as they were slowly but surely finishing their opponents off.

Aelrinder had already killed one of the elites he was fighting against previously and now he was dealing with the other elite and a couple of monsters that had joined the fight. His spear was a blur as he was thrusting it towards the monster with incredible speed, each of the thrusts would create small wounds on the body of the monster that was simply unable to defend against the barrage.

He was only using his right hand to deliver the attacks while his left hand was raised above his head, and a ball of powerful wind was forming on top of it. After the ball had increased to the point of being 3m in diameter he shot it towards the monster, the ball exploded and hundreds of wind blades were let out, each of the wind blades was able to create small cuts on the monster’s body and soon it was covered in blood.

Reign was staring at the two-headed wolf that was left with only 1 head, the one that could use ice abilities was gone as a fountain of blood was currently spurting from it. The other head howled painfully before relentlessly launching attacks at Reign, even with him not doing anything the immense blood loss would be able to kill the wolf after some time. The wolf knew that and used all of its remaining energy to attack Reign and bring him down with it.

Greenie on the other hand was down on one knee. The hand holding the hammer was shaking slightly while multiple claw and bite marks were visible on his body. Blood was flowing through the gaps of his mouth as he looked at his left side.

The body of a 5-meter-long mastiff was lying next to him. The monster had previously lunged at him from the horde of monsters and managed to inflict a great number of wounds, even with Greenie’s incredible strength he was barely able to push the monster off and get up. By that time he had already been wounded a fair amount by the giant dog before he finally managed to attack it.

The battle was a hard and long one. Thanks to Greenie’s still having the increased stats from his ability he was able to contend against the elite monster even with all of his wounds, during the battle he used the skill of the hammer to create the phantom which attacked the mastiff from behind.

That was enough to make the mastiff switch focus for a short period of time, but a short time period was all that Greenie needed in order to turn the battle around. After some 5 minutes of fighting he had finally managed to bring the monster down, but not without a price. His carelessness at the beginning led to him being injured repeatedly by the monster and he knew that meeting another elite right now would be a very bad idea, slowly he made his way towards the closest person he could find while fighting off the monsters that were charging at him
