Is this really a Game?!



The enemy leader, though battered and fatigued, seethed with frustration and anger as Reign taunted him. He had been so confident in his abilities and the sheer number of soldiers at his disposal, but the power and coordination of Reign's team had completely foiled his plans. The reality of their situation had shattered his arrogance.

Reign's taunts further fueled the enemy leader's determination. Despite his injuries and drained mana, he refused to yield. With a deep breath, he conjured more earthen defenses, summoning colossal boulders and reinforced walls around him. His body trembled from exhaustion, but his eyes burned with defiance.

"Perhaps you underestimate me," the enemy leader muttered, his voice hoarse. "I may not be able to match your power, but I still have tricks up my sleeve."

As he spoke, his aura intensified, resonating with the earth around him. The very ground beneath him quaked, and the boulders he summoned grew larger, forming a nearly impenetrable fortress. His plan was clear: to buy time until reinforcements could arrive or to escape.

Reign's smile did not waver as he observed the enemy leader's efforts. The formidable Tier V player was known for his tactical prowess and strategic thinking. The enemy leader's determination was admirable, but Reign had seen through his plan.

Before the enemy leader could fortify his defenses further, Shadow appeared behind him. With his monotonous voice, he said, "You speak of tricks, but in the face of overwhelming power, they crumble."

Shadow thrust his daggers forward, and they pierced the barrier created by the enemy leader's earth manipulation. The formidable power of the Tier V assassin transcended the enemy's defenses as if they were nothing more than an illusion.

The enemy leader's eyes widened in disbelief as he felt the cold steel of Shadow's daggers against his skin. His fortress of stone crumbled into rubble, falling around him like a cascade of despair. He was left vulnerable and defenseless.

Before the enemy leader could react, Reign moved with lightning speed, his blades a blur of death. In an instant, he closed the gap, his dual swords slicing through the air with precision. His target was the enemy leader's neck, the same vulnerable point he had targeted earlier.

A flicker of panic crossed the enemy leader's face as he realized the dire situation he was in. With a desperate cry, he channeled the last reserves of his mana, creating a dome of rock around him as a last-ditch effort to shield himself from Reign's onslaught.

But it was too late. Reign's swords cleaved through the rocky barrier with ease, and one of the blades found its mark. The enemy leader's scream was abruptly cut short as Reign's blade struck true. Blood sprayed into the air as the enemy leader's body fell to the ground, lifeless.

Reign stood over his defeated opponent, his expression unreadable, but his victory was evident. The battlefield was filled with the silence of a decisive conclusion, and the enemy forces, once numerous and confident, were now in disarray.

The remaining enemies stared in horror and disbelief at the fall of one of their leaders. They had witnessed the power of the Tier V beings and elite players, and their morale plummeted. A sense of hopelessness settled upon them, and they realized that victory was unattainable.

The truth was that with over 1000 Tier IV combatants, they truly were powerful enough to go against Reign and his team, but that was only in the case of them all being united and fighting together.

Usually, one needed to have at least 5 or 6 peak Tier IV combatants to stop a normal low-grade Tier V. Even Reign with his transformation, which doubled his stats, couldn't really go against a Tier V and win in a normal situation, even though his stats were virtually the same as a Tier V at that moment.

That was because an evolution didn't simply improve stats, it was a qualitative change that allowed a person to better understand his body, to better control mana, as well as his skills and abilities. Reign's transformation did give him access to his full abilities and improved his control over mana, but not as much as evolution did.

The enemy army had quickly gotten in disarray and were scattered around, none of them fighting together against the powerful enemies that had appeared, and that was the main reason they were being slaughtered by Wolf and the others.

The leader of the Blood Angels, who was crouching on the ground panting as blood was seeping out of his body thanks to the wounds inflicted by Shadow, stared ahead in shock and horror.

Against many enemies, his ability to create puppets that he could implant into other people and switch with them at any moment gave him high survivability and the chance to do much, but against Shadow, who could immediately teleport over to where he was, the ability was not worth mentioning.I think you should take a look at

Shadow had inflicted the injuries when he had switched position for the fourth time, even though it only took a thought for him to switch, Shadow proved to be faster that time and he immediately caused him serious injuries before suddenly disappearing.

The leader of the Blood Angels quickly switched position once more as Shadow disappeared and attacked the leader of the Dark Scythes.

Mia was staring in shock at what was happening. She had fought against the enemies so she knew just how powerful the enemy leaders were, even with her mark activated and her going all out, not caring for her safety at all, the two of them were able to think rationally and defend against her before disappearing.

They were crafty opponents and were tricky to deal with, but with Reign and the others appearing, the two crafty men had become fearful and were quickly defeated, neither one of them being able to even run away.

The leader of the Blood Angels was still alive and was playing the fatal game of tag with Shadow who was teleporting after him and killing those that served as his puppets. It was a matter of time before he would get through all of them and get rid of the enemy, and both of them knew that.

In just 1 minute, the leader of the Blood Angels fell to the ground, clutching his neck that had been cut open by one of Shadow's daggers. Shadow coldly stared down at him before spinning his daggers and stabbing down with both of them.

He stabbed through the skull of the enemy leader who was lying face down, and with his powerful darkness and daggers, the skull was easily penetrated and the brain of the enemy destroyed. 

"I have to be honest, I expect more, the other one was much more difficult to kill, even Reign had some issues with him," Shadow said coldly before using his darkness and slaughtering the people around him.

The battle continued as Reign and the others continued fighting against the enemy army that had at this time lost almost half of their numbers.

They were now even more scattered and afraid, many of them trying to flee, only to be met with death as Reign and the others didn't plan on letting any of them leave this place.

As for Laura, she was working together with Mia to slowly unfreeze and heal the angels that had been frozen by Mia in a desperate attempt to save their lives. So far, half of them had been released from the ice, but unfortunately, out of the 7 people that had been released so far, Laura had managed to save 5 as 2 had been decisive and had almost severed their own necks, making it impossible for even Laura to treat them as their brains had stopped working a while ago.

The Ice Angels had a total of 17 members, Mia included.

They had received 3 more members compared to the first time Reign and the others had met them during the first challenge where there were 14 of them. Liona was bleeding out on the ground and Lola had stayed back in the territory, which proved to be the correct thing to do as none of them would know just what kind of reaction these members of the angels would have had upon coming here.

Mia was down on her knees, silently weeping for those that died. She and Laura could see 3 more members on the ice who had seemingly done the same as the two that passed, and it was highly likely that they were already dead as well.

After all, contrary to what most would think, freezing a person in ice didn't mean that they were frozen in time. Their body would work slower and even serious injuries took much longer to claim their lives, but the ice itself would cause their bodies to slowly shut down as well.

And just like that, about 10 minutes passed, and the remainder of the enemy army was destroyed, none of them were spared, not even a single person.

As for the leader of the Blood Angels, right at the very end, Reign and Shadow noticed that the dead body had changed as was no longer the leader that was there.
