Is this really a Game?!

The tiger’s retaliation came swiftly and furiously. The black lightning was still shocking its body and making it hard to move, but with Greenie off its back, it was able to get up from the ground and attack Beast who gave it his all to dodge the attacks while still in his fused form.

The trio of Beast, Reign, and Greenie were the only ones that could continue fighting against the monster at this moment. Shadow was preparing to use his ability once more in order to stop the tiger, but that was the most he would be able to do. He felt bad as he did the least during the battle, all of his attempts at injuring the tiger were thwarted by the monster, but at least he managed to set up a couple of attacks for Reign and the others. 𝗼𝐯𝐥.𝗻𝐭

“Shit.” Reign coughed out some blood as he got back on his feet, his injury was not critical, but it wasn’t a small one either. His armor was penetrated by the red beam and one could even see two of his ribs from the wound he had gotten.

As for Greenie, he was in an even worse state. Not only could one see his ribs, but a part of them was also gone, destroyed by the red beam that the tiger had shot out.

Reign didn’t hold Greenie accountable for what happened, the tiger’s retaliation was fast and even if Greenie had seen it coming, it was doubtful that he would have been able to do anything about it.

It was only thanks to Reign’s incredible speed that he was able to push Greenie away and save him.

“I can still fight.” Greenie got up from the ground while using his hammer as a crutch. He wouldn’t be able to run at the tiger and fight it like before, but he was still able to land an attack. His hammer was surrounded by a formless ball of energy as he nodded at Reign whose body was once again covered by lightning.

Shadow had seen what Greenie was planning and immediately used his ability. Shadow vines sprung from the ground and coiled around the tiger, making it stop dead in its tracks.

Beast was now free to attack as well, he quickly channeled mana to his claws and jumped at the tiger while Beast launched his hammer at the monster.

The hammer managed to hit the tiger from the side and entered deep inside the body, it managed to break some bones and deliver powerful internal injuries to the tiger which roared in pain.

Beast raised both of his hands in the air before swiping down at the tiger that was a mere 3 meters away from him. Ten waves of black mana that resembled claws were launched at the tiger and hit it in the face and the front part of its body.

The claw lights managed to not only cut through the skin but also penetrate deep inside the flesh of the monster. The tiger was in a world of pain as gallons of blood started flowing out from the wounds.

Beast had even managed to hit one of its eyes, and thanks to the great power his attack had, managed to destroy it and blind the tiger on one side.

The tiger was burned, shocked by lightning, and cut by blades and its body was crushed thanks to powerful blunt attacks. It was at the end of its wits, its blood armor had disappeared as the tiger had used part of the mana reserved for it in order to shoot out the red beam at Greenie.

The rest of the armor was easily broken by Greenie’s and Beast’s attacks and was shattered. The tiger had just a little bit of mana left and its injuries were severe. Even if Reign and the others did nothing, the monster would probably die in about 10 minutes.

Of course, 10 minutes was not something they had available. Their boosts would only last for a bit longer and then they would be back at their normal state, unable to do anything to the monster.

Beast roared and lunged at the tiger. He knew that this was it, they had to go all out and risk it all, otherwise, they would lose the battle. He threw himself at the monster’s face and used his claws to penetrate deep inside it.

He started swiping with his claws and tearing the fly from the tiger’s face. His black lightning was flickering around and shocking the face of the tiger that could barely move its head.

Reign had, however, appeared in the sky above the tiger. He held his two swords and plummeted down at the monster.

[ Severing Light and Darkness ]

The two swords shone with a bright light and complete darkness. As Reign attacked the tiger, he slashed down and two sword lights struck the tiger in an x shape.

The attack cut deep and drew blood from the monster as it screamed in pain. Its face was getting mangled by Beast who was showing no signs of stopping while Reign had a dangerous light in his eyes.

“I’m not finished yet!” Reign threw both of his swords at the tiger before clenching his two hands. The swords struck the back of the tiger and stabbed all the way to the hilts.

[ Compact Punch ]

[ Lightning Fist ]

One of Reign’s fists swelled a bit as he used one of the first skills he had learned. The other was covered in lightning, however. The [ Lightning Fist ] was a skill that Reign created by modifying the [ Lightning Fists ] skill. Contrary to the usual way of covering his fist in lightning and punching numerous times, this one simply focused all the mana and lightning to unleash a devastating attack that struck faster than sound.

Reign crashed on the tiger and unleashed the two skills. The first one he used was the [ Lightning Fist ] skill. The faster the attack, the more damage it would do, which made it perfect to be used in such a way.

Boom!

It was as if a canon had exploded in the arena. Reign’s fist was not only faster than sound, but the damage it dealt was great as well. His fist went through the weakened fur of the tiger and right now, Reign was elbow-deep in the tiger’s body. His lightning was wrecking the tiger from the inside as some of its organs were now injured or destroyed.

He quickly punched with his other hand, the [ Compact Punch ] made the fur of the tiger ripple as a powerful shockwave went through its body. The injured organs ruptured as the tiger suddenly started vomiting out blood.

It was done for, the tiger only had a couple of seconds left to live as Reign’s final attacks managed to destroy its heart. Beast stopped attacking as he sensed that the tiger was done for, the two attacks that Reign delivered had done it.

His action proved to be a disaster, however.

With what little strength the tiger had, he used suddenly shake Beast off before opening its mouth and biting down on him. Beast’s fusion had ended at the same moment that Reign had delivered the [ Compact Punch ] and he was unable to do anything right now.

He used all the mana he had and tried to hold the monster’s jaw open, only for his hands to be cut by razor-sharp teeth.

His feet were also cut and half of his right foot was completely severed as he tried his best to push against the mouth and keep it from closing.

“You damn bastard!” Tank shouted as he suddenly threw his shield at the open mouth of the tiger. The shield drew an arc before plunging into the mouth of the tiger, stopping it from closing it.

Beast drew a deep breath before letting go of the teeth. His body was weak, he couldn’t even keep himself standing. He fell forward, straight into the tiger’s mouth.

“Gotcha!” Reign said as he grabbed Beast by the collar. He quickly pulled him back before jumping off the tiger’s mouth with Beast in his arms.

The monster wasn’t even able to move its head anymore, the great loss of blood and the destruction of most of its organs had finished it off. It was barely able to breathe but continued staring at Reign with hatred in its eyes.

One of its legs moved as it tried to attack Reign, only to fail as it was barely able to lift it off the ground.

“Still not giving up huh?” Reign asked with a calm voice before channeling the rest of his mana to his right arm.

Lightning coiled around the arm as he jumped up and reached the top of the tiger’s head.

“Just die already!”

[ Lighting Spear, Hand version ]

Reign used his hand as a spear and plunged it inside the skull of the monster. His lightning erupted from inside and quickly destroyed the only thing that was still in relatively good shape, the tiger’s brain.

As he confirmed that the tiger had died, Reign kneeled down on the top of its head before looking around the arena. The crowd erupted in cheers as they chanted the names of Reign and the others.

They had managed to do it, they had managed to defeat the final opponent the arena had prepared for them.
