Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 564 The Battle Reaches Its Peak



Giant stones were once again lifted out from the ground, each one blood-red in color and double the size of the previous ones. They were as big as a small apartment and dodging them would be incredibly difficult thanks to the great speed they were being launched at.

Not only that, but Carlo suddenly started laughing as multiple spells were shot out from the wands and staves he held. A wand and a staff were different from other weapons as they were usable by mages and each one would have one or two skills imbued in them.

The skills were not overly powerful as those in other weapons, but they could be used continuously, as long as one had mana.

Fire, lightning, ice, water, multiple elemental spells were shot at Reign as he did what he could to dodge them. He continued using his soul manipulation to attack Carlo\'s soul and disrupt his spells, which worked to an extent.

It seemed that the bone staff did not only change his body and allowed him to wield several weapons, but it also reinforced his soul a bit and allowed him to possess a higher resistance toward Reign\'s soul manipulation compared to before.

\'Just drag it out, I just need to hold on and not use anything else before their leader shows up, once that happens, I\'m going to cut off all of those arms of yours before killing you slowly, you damned piece of crap!\' Reign said in his head with rage as he stared at Carlo who was laughing maniacally while shooting out the spells.

Even though his head was in great pain thanks to Reign\'s constant soul attacks, the smile on his face never went away. The man had gone absolutely insane, drunk with the power the bone staff had given him.

As for the others, everyone was having a tough fight with the enemy army.

Tens had died, and even though the monster army had more casualties, they were the ones with the advantage when it came to numbers.

Greenie was fighting the monster and centaur, and thanks to the two managing to gain a slight edge during the battle, he had used his Vajra form and was currently on the winning side, albeit barely.

The centaur was incredibly fast and had great reach thanks to his spear and ability to change the gravitation around him made him a hard opponent to fight against. Greenie had trouble with him because each time he would move, the gravitational pull would change. Sometimes the gravity around him would get weaker, and he would suddenly jump further away or would move faster than usual, while other times, it would be the opposite.

Even though the ability had no use when it came to damaging the opponent, it was incredibly useful for controlling the enemy and making the fight harder for them.

The spear the centaur had could also extend, which made it hard for Greenie to figure out the reach the centaur had, but from what he gathered so far, he could safely say that the centaur could hit him from a distance of 8 meters.

The more the spear extended, the thinner it got, which made its penetrative power of it lesser than in its usual state, allowing Greenie to easily block it if it was 6 or more meters long. As for the giant monster that was fighting together with the centaur, it was not a threat to Greenie at all.

The monster fought mindlessly thanks to it being controlled by one of the elders of the enemy organization. Both of the monsters were not fighting as proficiently as they normally would thanks to the soul control.

The only way the elders could control them was by giving them very simple commands, such as charge, run away, attack…

Both the monsters were given the same command, fight. Thanks to Greenie and Aelrinder attacking the monsters and being the most powerful ones nearby, the monsters had both of course focused fully on them and only fought against them. Still, both of them were simply fighting using their instinct and nothing else, making them easy to predict and defeat.

Aelrinder had some trouble with the old demon he was fighting as well. The enemy was very well proficient at using the sword and his skills made it hard for Aelrinder to injure him.

Had the old demon been alone, then it would be another story since Aelrinder had a spear and an advantage when it came to reach. His spearmanship was also nothing to scoff at and even though the old demon was slightly better with his weapon, it was nothing that would lead to Alerinder losing.

The monster he was fighting was what made the fight hard. The three tails were used very often, and even though two of them had a hole in them and were weakened, the monster still charged at Aelrinder with all three and attacked him numerous times, allowing the old demon to close the distance and attack.

When it came to fighting at a close distance, a sword would of course be better than the spear thanks to its smaller size. Aelrinder thankfully was always aware of where the enemy was thanks to his innate ability, but he had to use his wind ability a couple of times in order to get out of some situations.

He was still holding on to his most powerful ability thanks to the fact that it still took a tool on his body and that it was very limited in the number of times he could use it. He knew the plan, and he knew that using his ability to get rid of the two enemies would not be helpful right now.

The same went for Greenie who had barely used any skills so far. In his Vajra form, he was enough to slightly edge out his enemies, but he was unable to defeat them without using them, but it was fine as long as there was little danger to him.

They needed to make it seem as if the battle was incredibly difficult for them, otherwise, the enemy would not go all out.

As Reign dodged another spike and cut a huge boulder that was flying at him in half, he suddenly smiled slightly. He was able to sense the appearance of another person behind the enemy lines, and he could sense that the enemy was Tier IV.

The moment he sensed the enemy, four more Tier IV signatures suddenly appeared behind the man before charging toward the battlefield. Seeing the four giant monsters, the players started despairing, while the enemy was smiling from top to bottom, but they didn\'t know that Reign was doing the same.

He was wearing a mask, so nobody was able to see his smile, but a change occurred in the battlefield immediately.

Multiple explosions and screams of pain were heard as multiple explosions were set off. Reign had previously placed many traps, but he had not used even one till one.

Magic turrets that were previously camouflaged and invisible to the enemy suddenly appeared and started blasting monsters away. Each of the turrets was capable of functioning by itself and it would aim only at those that were not a resident of the territory.

Whoever was hostile to those living in Doncaster would be blown in pieces, or would have tens of holes drilled inside of them by the turrets.

Reign and the others had made sure the turrets had more than enough mana cores and crystals to function for a long time, and there were currently six of them. Three were shooting out large balls of mana that would explode upon impact, while the other three were shooting out smaller mana projectiles in a manner similar to a machine gun.

The traps were mostly explosive traps, with some being spikes or elemental ones that would suddenly shoot out a pillar of fire or pressure water. The traps alone killed three hundred monsters immediately, while the turrets were cutting down the rest relatively fast as well.

Two out of the four new Tier IV monsters were killed thanks to the traps that Reign had set up. He also suddenly stopped moving and the attacks from Carlo arrived, only for the numerous attacks to be blown away as he got rid of his disguise and suddenly used his lightning to its fullest.

​ At first, Carlo was confused as to what happened as dust rose from where Reign stood and he was unable to see him. But he was soon able to see lightning exploding out from where he previously stood.

The moment he saw the black and white lightning, Carlo\'s eyes constricted and he gulped in fear.

"Wait, don\'t tell me," Carlo said in fear as a powerful wind blew from where Reign was standing.

"Hello, Carlos." Reign said as his figure was revealed.
