Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 1019: The Enemy Leader's Constant Deaths

They knew that defeat was not an option, not when so much was at stake. Their determination and resolve only grew stronger as they faced the relentless onslaught of the corrupted enemies. Each of them fought with all their might, pushing themselves beyond their limits in order to protect their world from the spreading corruption.

Reign continued his fierce battle against the enemy leader, their swords clashing with incredible force. Despite his exhaustion, Reign refused to yield, his determination unwavering. With a swift motion, he unleashed a series of lightning-fast strikes, each blow aimed at the leader's weakened defenses. The leader, realizing he was at a disadvantage, tried to counter, but Reign was too quick.

With a final, decisive strike, Reign pierced the leader's heart, only for the body of the leader to collapse, turn into corruption, and then reform again a couple of meters away from him.

This had happened three times already.

The enemy leader was weaker than Reign, had it not been for the corruption which was giving him a body that was seemingly immortal, this battle would have been over by now, but no matter what Reign did, even when he used his light to blast the insides of the enemy leader, he could not truly kill him.

'Any ideas of how to get rid of this bastard?' Reign asked Aethion who sighed and nodded.

'The only thing I can think of is to destroy his soul, without a soul, he will naturally cease to exist, even the corruption shouldn't be able to bring him back, but that's the thing, he has been on guard against soul power for some time now and has not used it at all.'

'He is definitely waiting for you to attempt to damage his soul and defend against him, and if the battle gets prolonged, well, we both know that time is on their side as the corruption is making him stronger and stronger, as it is doing to the other combatants of his faction.'

'The longer this battle continues, the harder it will be, especially for the others, those monsters that the corruption keeps spawning are not weak, some are almost as powerful as Tier VI combatants, they will be overwhelmed if nothing changes.'

Reign nodded his head inwardly, fully aware of what Aethion was telling him. He knew that the battle was progressing in a way they didn't expect it to progress, in quite a bad one.

The origin of corruption had been the one thing they kept in mind while planning the attack, they knew that the origin would definitely be an issue, they just never expected it to be this big of an issue. They never thought that the corruption would suddenly take over the entire base and continue spreading, devouring everybody that was there and leaving nothing left.

They had no idea that the corruption could create such monsters by itself, without having to be controlled by the enemy combatants, and that the monsters it created were so difficult to destroy.

Still, it was not as if the battle they were currently taking part in was impossible to be won.

Reign stared at the enemy leader who was smirking at him, taunting him with the sword made out of corruption before taking a deep breath.

The enemy leader was becoming stronger and stronger as time passed, his body becoming filled with corruption that was constantly nourishing him, and Reign knew that as time passed, the leader would probably be even stronger than he currently was.

"Alright then, this battle is going to end soon." Reign said in a calm voice as he stared at the leader with a calm expression, which made the latter narrow his eyes as if he had a premonition.

No, it wasn't just a premonition, the voice inside his head had suddenly grown quiet, it seemed as if the voice had felt something, just like he did.

Suddenly, the aura that was coming from Reign disappeared for a moment, and then, an aura that was much more powerful was released as Reign's body suddenly got enveloped in light and darkness from his right and left respectively.

It only lasted for a couple of seconds, the powerful aura making it difficult for even the leader to stand properly as he stared at Reign and controlled the corruption around them to attack him, but that was for naught.

All of the corruption that went to Reign was either destroyed by the light or devoured by the darkness, nothing could pass through them. And after a total of 3 seconds, Reign emerged from the light and darkness, looking different than before.

He had transformed, and now, in the Nephilim state, he was staring at the enemy leader as his wings unfurled behind him as he floated above him. The corruption could not come close to him thanks to the immense aura he possessed, as well as the light that was shining around him.

"I see, you … really aren't a human, aren't you?" The leader asked Reign who sighed before his wings suddenly moved. They flapped once, and before the leader could do anything, Reign was already in front of him, his swords piercing through his body.

The body once again collapsed before reforming itself, but the moment it did so, Reign was already in front of the leader, his swords flashing as the body was destroyed one more time.

'Continue doing that, use the light and darkness and continue attacking him, even though it might do little, there is no way that he isn't feeling anything.' Aethion told Reign who continued doing what he was doing, cutting the enemy leader apart and constantly destroying his body.

'His concentration will definitely drop, he will get annoyed, and probably a bit fearful that you are doing this to him, destroying his body over and over again without letting him rest for even an instant.'

'It is at that moment that we shall strike together, attacking his soul and doing our best to damage it.'

'But be warned, killing the leader will probably not remove the corruption that is present, you guys will still have to find a way to deal with it, I suggest you use your light while in the Nephilim form to cleanse as much as you can.'

'The true origin is still below the ground, it hasn't shown itself yet, it is merely expelling all the corruption that it has outside, making the area look like this, so you need to be ready to continue fighting even after the leader is dead.'

Reign nodded inwardly again as he continued cutting the leader up, destroying his body without showing an ounce of emotion. The leader's face was definitely changing bit by bit as he found himself unable to do a single thing to Reign in his current form. He was overwhelmed, not being able to even defend against his attacks.

The other Tier VI combatants had noticed it as well, as did Wolf and the others who were all in smiles.

"See, even though you guys are tough, as long as our boss is stronger than your boss, we will win," Tank said with a smile as he stared at the man who can make distortions in the air.

His arm was broken, a part of the other one was missing as Tank had managed to slice it off during a downward slash a while ago. The bone could be seen, but it was healing thanks to the corruption, as was the broken arm as well. Stay connected through m-v l|e'-NovelBin.net

Still, with only one hand usable, the man was finding it nearly impossible to stop Tank, especially since the latter was not holding back at all and had used his mark.

He clicked his tongue in annoyance, but in his eyes, one could see that he truly was worried about what was going on. If their leader did indeed lose, then they would soon follow in his footsteps as Reign's immense aura was making it a bit difficult for him and the others to battle normally.

It was placing a bit of pressure on them, even from afar, which was both incredible and horrifying to them.

"Come on, don't you have anything else to show me, any more power-ups?!" Reign asked with a wide smile as he cut the leader in half, the latter's face showing pain and anger.

"If this is all, then I'll just continue killing you until you truly die!"

"I refuse to believe that you can keep this up for much longer anyway, you're far too weak to do so!"

Reign's words made the enemy leader's face change more and more, his anger evident and his frustration at being able to do nothing but die over and over again easily noticed by Reign who continued doing the same thing over and over again.

He had already killed him 20 times since he transformed, and he was not about to stop.

'Get ready, I can sense his soul power moving, he's not doing it properly, his anger is making him sloppy.' Aethion said with a smile as he moved the soul power inside Reign, ready to defend against whatever the enemy was about to do and to counterattack.
