Is this really a Game?!

Greenie was focused on dealing with the leader, the only true Tier VI combatant that was present amongst the five opponents while the two mercenaries were going all out and trying to quickly suppress and eliminate the four fake Tier VI combatants.

The battle taking place shook the tunnel, and they soon exited the tunnel as it was not favorable for either side to fight in such a place. Greenie\'s attacks alone caused shockwaves to ripple around him, affecting both his enemies and allies.

His opponent used a spear and was having difficulty with deflecting and blocking his attacks thanks to how forceful they were, but Greenie was also having some issues when it came to the same thing. Compared to his heavy hammer, the spear that the enemy used was much faster, and thus, he had to focus if he did not wish to be struck by it while attacking.

As true Tier VI combatants, the mercenaries were stronger than the fake ones individually, and even though they were fighting 2 fakes each, they were still holding the upper hand thanks to their abilities and high experience when it came to fighting.

They were holding the advantage and heavily pressuring the four fakes, but they knew they had to act quickly, after all, they were outnumbered and could end up losing the advantage if they didn\'t eliminate at least one of their opponents quickly.

Back in the base, the battle raged on, and Wolf and the others fought with all their might, each one well aware of what kind of battle they were in. The enemy Tier VI combatants were formidable opponents, but Wolf, Tank, and the rest of the party were a step above them, the only reason they were still holding on was the fact that they were fighting inside their base.

Wolf\'s flames roared as he unleashed powerful attacks, his fiery aura illuminating the battlefield. Scales had appeared on some parts of his body, as well as a horn as his mark was activated, creating immense pressure around him. The head priest countered with torrents of corruption, each strike aimed at extinguishing Wolf\'s flames.

Despite the priest\'s efforts, Wolf continued to press forward, his determination unwavering.

The flames he was using now had a touch of the everlasting flame inside of them, to extinguish such flames was not an easy task, which the priest noticed quickly, compared to the flames Wolf had used before, these took not only more time, but also energy and corruption to extinguish.

Tank, on the other hand, faced off against the man with the distortion ability. The man\'s ability to manipulate space made him a challenging opponent, but Tank\'s brute strength and resilience proved to be a match for him. With each blow, Tank forced the man back, slowly gaining the upper hand in their duel.

The distortion ability was definitely a good one, but it truly shone when being used against those who had elemental abilities, and Tank was the complete opposite of that as his ability and fighting style focused on his powerful body.

His shield was used to combat the distortion and not allow it to do anything to him. His axe would get slowed down or its trajectory would change slightly due to the distortion, but even with that, his immense power and large size made up for it and allowed him to put immense pressure on the man who was slightly panicking.

Meanwhile, Shadow engaged in a fierce battle with the girl who had appeared alongside the tall man. Her agility and speed were impressive, but Shadow\'s darkness manipulation gave him an edge in the fight. He used shadows to ensnare and immobilize her, leaving her vulnerable to his attacks while also boosting his own speed immensely with his darkness.

Still, the girl was nothing to scoff at either.

She was fast and her ability was quite a weird one, something that Shadow had not seen before. Discover exclusive tales on m,v l\'e-NovelBin.net

She was able to create afterimages and clones of herself.

One couldn\'t be certain what was a clone and what was an afterimage during a battle, and the worst part was that the clones she created were not weak. They were technically weak compared to Shadow, and they only had about 50% of the girl\'s stats from what he could notice, but they were made out of her mana.

If she wanted to, she could make a clone explode, which she had done a couple of times, causing Shadow to suffer some injuries from it.

Usually, she wouldn\'t be able to use her ability as much as she wanted to, the clones used up quite some mana to be created, and making them explode often would cause her to lose all her mana quickly, but thanks to the origin of corruption that was present below their base, she didn\'t need to worry about such thing.

The corruption was used as a source of energy by the faction, they could use it instead of mana whenever they wanted to, and right now, they were doing just that.

That meant that the enemy had a nearly limitless supply of energy, and no matter what they did, no matter how much they abused their abilities and skills, they wouldn\'t run out of energy.

Even then, it wasn\'t as if they could just abuse their powers as much as they wanted to.

In order to use their abilities and skills, one had to focus and it took a toll on their body and their psyche, overusing their abilities would lead to them feeling a headache, their vision blurring, feeling weak …

Still, it was a huge advantage over any enemy that dared attack them as they didn\'t need to worry about exhausting their energy, which meant that they could fight a lot longer and a lot more aggressively compared to others.

Aelrinder was facing off against the tall man that Reign had stopped the previous time they came across the enemy faction.

The tall man used a pair of curved blades, and with them, he was capable of attacking incredibly quickly, his long arms helping him out immensely with that as he was capable of attacking from very weird angles.

As the battle raged on, Aelrinder found himself locked in a deadly dance with the tall man. The man\'s blades moved with blinding speed, forcing Aelrinder to rely on his agility and skill to evade the strikes. Despite the man\'s ferocity, Aelrinder remained calm and focused, his mind calculating each move and countermove.

His wind was coursing around him, increasing his speed and allowing him to move around the tall man who was seemingly capable of following his every move. Even Aelrinder was unable to figure out just how the man was doing it, but if he had to guess, it was probably something connected to soul power.

He would be right to guess that, as the tall man was using his ability to sense where Aelrinder was without having to see him. The soul was telling him where he was going, how he was attacking, and how he should respond to his attacks.

It was a different kind of ability compared to the one Reign had, as well as the one the head priest had, which only allowed him to manipulate souls, albeit their control over soul power and the way they were able to manipulate souls was much better than his own.

He could utilize his own soul to improve his sensing, to improve his reflexes, and much more, even allowing him to use both mana and soul power to strengthen his body.

Compared to the head priest, he was in a much better position when it came to using his ability at this moment as he didn\'t need to use it only to attack somebody\'s soul.

His curved swords would make a sound similar to a whistle each time he struck, their speed was incredible and the force behind them was nothing to scoff at, even Aelrinder\'s spear was having difficulty against them.

"You\'re a troublesome one," Aelrinder told the tall man who smirked at him before grinding his two swords against each other.

"You are not an easy opponent either, but in the end, you shall fall as all my previous opponents did."

Aelrinder merely scoffed at the man\'s words before a bright yellow light appeared around his body. His aura rose higher and higher as his muscles clenched from the immense power coursing through them at the moment.

He had used the power of the stars, and with it, his overall strength rose sharply. The wind blew around him as he suddenly disappeared, only for the tall man\'s eyes to widen as he was barely able to move his head and not be pierced by his spear, leaving a deep gash on his cheek through which one could see his teeth.
