Is this really a Game?!

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion took place at the very end of the hall as Reign clashed against the pillar of mana. A fierce wind suddenly blew all around him, affecting even the battle between Amanda’s men and the rest of his group.

Amanda’s henchmen all grew pale upon sensing the incredible power that was suddenly released behind them, and upon glancing back, they were shocked to see the now-winged Reign clashing against the pillar of mana. The immense mana fluctuation coming from both the pillar and Reign made it difficult to stand near them, and the pressure that both sides were feeling was intensified now.

“Seems like he’s going all out, we can’t drag things any longer, we need to start beating these guys up in case he ends up needing our help later,” Wolf said as he grabbed his sword with both of his hands before slashing at the enemy who summoned a giant water snake and had launched it at Wolf.

The wave of fire and the water snake collided and half of the hall was suddenly engulfed in steam, making it a bit more difficult for people to see each other.

“Dammit it Wolf, stop playing around, it’s getting hotter and hotter inside, you’ll kill us all with this stuff!” Shadow yelled out as he glanced at Wolf.

The steam that was released was definitely hot and made it harder to breathe as well. Shadow was going up against two enemies now as the third had been forced to clash against one of Tank’s generals.

The two enemies, both high-grade Tier IV combatants, were panting a bit, but so was Shadow.

Thanks to the fact he was much faster than the two, Shadow was able to fight evenly against them, but the two had incredible defense, and one even specialized in defending, making it hard for Shadow to deal any damage to them. For now, the two sides were even, but with the corrosion his darkness had, Shadow was slowly gaining the upper hand, just like Wolf was.

Even though Water was a perfect counter for his ability, the difference in power between Wolf and his opponent was evident as the enemy was already sweating a ton and panting as he had used up quite a lot of mana and stamina while Wolf was still calm and collected, as if he hadn’t been fighting all this time.

Thanks to the enemy’s ability, Wolf hadn’t been able to injure him till now as compared to Wolf, the enemy was a mage, one capable of attacking incredibly fast with his water ability. Each time Wolf tried to help out one of his teammates, he would be attacked with pressured water that was able to cut through steel without issues.

Large waves of water would be launched at him in order to try and drown him, and the enemy had used smaller blades of water hidden inside of the waves to try and injure him seriously.

Thankfully, Wolf was able to defend against all of those attacks with his large sword and powerful flames, but he needed to start fighting more offensively in order to deal with the enemy.

Wolf decided that it was time to stop conserving his strength. Because the enemy had the advantage in numbers previously, he was doing his best to try and conserve his mana and stamina so that he could immediately go and help the others upon finishing this battle, but if he continued doing so, then it might already be too late by the time he finished his opponent.

Wolf charged at the enemy, forcing the latter to grit his teeth and summon two giant water snakes that he launched at Wolf, but just as they were about to clash, Wolf jumped as flames burst out from the soles of his feet, propelling him high up in the air before he spun and used another burst to accelerate him once again, this time aiming straight at the enemy who was shocked at the sight.

The two water snakes that had been following Wolf suddenly burst and two large waves of water crashed on the floor while he made a quick chant and placed his hands in front of him as a torrent of water suddenly burst out, aiming straight at Wolf who smirked.

He kicked to his left and an explosion took place, moving him to the side before he once again used another burst to continue toward the enemy who moved the torrent of water to attack Wolf.

The two started doing this for the next couple of seconds. Wolf was constantly moving up and down, left and right, while at the same time getting closer to the enemy while the latter was constantly trying to hit him with the torrent, but was unsuccessful each time.

His face got more and more serious as he finally stopped and allowed Wolf to get near him before suddenly crouching and placing his hands on the floor.

[ Burst, Tsunami ]

Suddenly, a giant body of water appeared in front of the man as a 10-meter-tall wave came crashing down on Wolf who opened his eyes wide at the sight before laughing.

“There we go, that’s what I wanted to see!” Wolf continued flying toward the enemy, even boosting his speed further before grabbing his sword with both of his hands.

[ Fire Style, Starfall ]

Fire raged around him before converging on him and forming a massive ball of fire. Wolf smiled savagely as he slashed forward and crashed against the giant wave. As the wave crashed down on him, it swallowed him completely, and for a moment, there was silence.

The man smiled as he panted heavily upon seeing the sight, before suddenly widening his eyes as bubbles appeared on the water before an explosion took place. Water flew around and heavy steam shrouded the area, and only a line of red was visible in it.

The enemy shielded his face from the steam before looking forward, only to first feel the intense heat, and then see Wolf, who was already right in front of him.

“Good fight,” Wolf said as he slashed down, cutting the enemy in half and burning his body fiercely until all that remained were his ashes that were swept by the water that now occupied most of the hall.

Upon seeing one of their own fall in battle, not to mention that it was the strongest amongst the 10 heads, the others slightly panicked, unable to believe that he was defeated just like that.

Wolf didn’t stop and moved toward Shadow in order to help him out. The previous attack and the constant usage of his fire to propel him through the air made him use up quite a bit of his mana, but he could still fight.

It wasn’t just him, but everybody that started taking advantage during the battle. Wolf was the first one to defeat his opponent, and the others didn’t want to fall behind him.

Shadow started moving even faster and was using his darkness all the time, he was also using the shadows around the place to teleport as well as to attack the enemies, doing his best to try and bind them, pierce them with his [ Shadow Spikes ] and more.

Tank was battling against an enemy who was incredibly fast and even though the enemy was unable to deal any significant damage to him, Tank couldn’t catch and hit him either. 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

Beast was moving around and launching his arrows at the other head, Laura was doing her best to heal everybody, Aelrinder was doing his best to stab his opponent…

As the party was starting to gain the advantage and were pushing the enemy back, finally dealing some damage to them, Reign was still locked in a battle against the pillar of mana that covered Amanda.

His two swords were pushing against the pillar while he used everything he had. Lightning flickered in front of him while light and darkness were behind him, constantly pushing him forward and empowering his attack.

“You damned pillar, break!” Reign yelled out as his muscles bulged while veins appeared on his forehead. His body started turning red from the great effort he was putting in and some blood started coming out of his mouth from the great strain his body was under.

The pillar of mana was incredibly durable, but that was not all, if one was to strike it, they would be launched backward thanks to the dense mana inside that would retaliate. It was retaliating against Reign and his attack, but his wings were constantly pushing him forward, as did his two abilities.

He could see Amanda’s gray body inside the pillar, it was constantly changing, some parts dropping from the body and scattering in the mana while new gray goo appeared. He knew that she was undergoing her evolution, and he knew that he had to forcibly stop it, otherwise there was no saying just how powerful she would get, and how dangerous the rest of the battle would be.

“Wake up!” Reign yelled out, boosting his shout with soul power in an attempt to shake Amanda up, and upon seeing how her body slightly shook from it, his eyes widened as a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

“I got you now.”
