Is this really a Game?!

414 End of the Battle, Fall of the Tainted

The old Tainted went down into the same stance he did at the beginning of the battle. With his hips and knees lowered, he held the sword to the side before erupting with great speed. Compared to the first time, the old man's speed had almost tripled for this attack and it caused even Wolf to raise an eyebrow.

Without any hesitation, Wolf stomped the ground heavily as it shakes greatly before fire erupts in front of him together with soil and rocks. For the Tainted who was charging at him, this was the worst possible thing that could happen as he was right in front of the eruption and was hit immediately, the other side effect of the attack was the fact that he was now unable to see Wolf at all.

[ Volcanic Eruption ]

The old Tainted, however, finished his attack, if he was lucky, he would perhaps hit Wolf and finish the battle.

Swish

The soil, smoke, rocks, and fire in front of the Tainted were cut in half before disappearing, the strength behind the attack was so powerful that a fierce gale blew around him as he finished the attack. To his dismay, however, there was nobody in front of him, Wolf had disappeared from the spot and before the old Tainted could gather his bearings, he looked up with horror on his face.

A giant sword of flames was stabbing down at him, the sword was even bigger than its previous 15-meter length as it was now over 20 meters long. The giant sword was coming down too fast and the Tainted had no other choice but to try and block it.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion took place as flames rose high in the air and covered the place where the two fought, making it impossible to see what had happened exactly.

Bang!

With a hammer in his hands, Greenie hit the Tainted as the latter tried to protect himself by crossing his arms in front of him. The two chains were wrapped around his arms as he held two spiked metal balls in his hands.

The defense, however, was not enough to completely block the power behind Greenie's attack as the arms were heavily bruised and the Tainted could feel as if they would break at any moment. He was the weakest Tier I amongst the Tainted as he had failed at tapping into the power of their cursed bloodline. Not only was he unable to transform like the others, but his stats were also lacking compared to those who had received a slight boost after unlocking a part of their bloodline.

What the Tainted failed to realize, however, was that the enemy in front of him was one that had an even more powerful bloodline. The Tainted had a bloodline that had been changed by a god that could control the power of chaos, they could tap into the power of chaos and receive benefits thanks to their bloodline.

Greenie however was a Vajra, a descendant of a god. His bloodline was much more powerful and simply incomparable to the Tainted. Even without using his abilities and transforming, he could still fight a Tainted that had transformed, let alone one that was unable to do so.

"Let's finish this, I'm getting too bored to continue." Said Greenie as a formless ball of energy appeared around the head of his hammer. He bent his knees before jumping towards the Tainted with incredible speed, reaching him in a matter of moments.

His hammer fell down as the Tainted grit his teeth and swung his chains, pouring all of his mana into one attack. The balls suddenly enlarged and the two at the very ends of the chains became 1 meter in diameter as they charged at Greenie with full force.

"That's more like it!" Greenie shouted happily as he smashed his hammer down on the two balls. The two attacks connected as Greenie was suddenly put in a stalemate against the Tainted.

The powerful [ Gravity Strike ] actually helped the Tainted to keep the stalemate as it drew the balls in. Of course, the problem arose when small cracks started appearing on the balls, it wasn't enough to truly damage the balls, but with enough time Greenie could perhaps even destroy them.

Before that happened, however, Greenie stopped using the skill and activated another one, he let go of his hammer before punching the two balls with incredible speed and pushing them back with each passing second before arriving near the Tainted whose mana had almost fully depleted.

[ Inferno Eruption, Demonic Spear ]

Greenie used his skill and hit the Tainted, his hand passing through his stomach and penetrating through it. Blood flowed out as Greenie pulled his hand out, causing the Tainted to fall down on his knees and stare at him with a powerless gaze.

"You tried your best, now you can die in peace." Said Greenie before using his skill again stabbing through the enemy's neck. The size of Greenie's hand however was too large and the whole head was severed from the body, making a fountain of blood erupt from the headless body.

Seeing her comrades fall left and right made the scythe-wielding Tainted incredibly anxious, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to help them. The four enemies she was fighting, although weaker than her individually, had great teamwork and were more than enough to take her down.

Her whole body was covered in wounds and she had already lost quite a lot of blood. Even her strongest attacks were blocked by the enemy without Tank doing anything but simply observing. Not only was she completely suppressed, but she was also humiliated as the strongest enemy was simply taking pity on her and not attacking.

"You bastard, how dare you, just standing there and watching, attack me if you dare, come on!" The woman shouted as Tank simply sighed.

"If you so wish." He said as he took his axe and walked over to her. The four generals all withdrew and made distance for the two to fight alone.

"You're already wounded and your mana is running low, how about this, survive this attack and I will let you live." Tank said as he discarded his shield and held his axe with both hands.

"Don't underestimate me you-" The woman suddenly stopped speaking as she quickly channeled her mana and attacked Tank, she could feel the shadow of death looming over her as he slowly slashed down at her.

[ Glaring Paragon Slash ]

The red, beam-like slash appeared and went through her attack, scythe, and herself. Tank kneeled down on the ground and took a look in front of him, only to see eyes that were opened in shock before the Tainted's body was split in two.

As for Aelrinder, after seeing that most of the battles had been finished, he decided to go all out and finish the battle as well. His spear suddenly shone brilliantly as he aimed at the Tainted whose expression changed instantly.

"Sorry, I would usually love to fight longer, but I can't let the others wait for me too much," Aelrinder said before stabbing at the Tainted.

[ Starburst, Penetration ]

His silver spear disappeared from his hands as a yellow beam exploded forth from Aelrinder. The Tainted wasn't even able to respond before the beam passed through his chest and continued forward.

Multiple monsters were hit by the beam before it passed through them and managed to hit a couple of Tainted who were now fighting without the safety of the array as it was broken by the constant attacks of the monsters.

The Tainted simply stared at Aelrinder with shock before collapsing on the ground, his heart was gone as a large hole was present in his chest.

Puffff

Aelrinder exhaled strongly before inhaling. The attack, although incredibly powerful, was quite draining even for him who was a Tier I combatant. The power behind it, however, more than made up for it.

Right now, all of the battles except for one. Reign was still standing and calmly looking at the Tainted who was panting heavily. Multiple wounds could be seen on his body, but none was truly dangerous as Reign controlled his strength in order to let the Tainted continue fighting with all that he had.

"So, that's all you have I guess?" Reign asked the Tainted as the latter clenched his swords whilst giving Reign a hateful look. All of his brethren were gone, killed by the enemy, even the old Tainted who was the most experienced was dead, his body barely visible as he was severed in half before the flames from Wolf's sword completely burned him.

"Well then, I will allow you to be the first to fall to this attack." Reign said as he held his rank SS sword in his hand. He put it back into its sheath before bending his knees and going into a low stance, similar to what the old Tainted did against Wolf.

"What?" The Tainted simply stared at Reign before his eyes widened in shock.

A trail of lightning was left as the Tainted didn't even have enough time to respond to Reign's attack. Reign was now a couple of meters behind him, lightning flickered around his sword that was fully drawn out.

[ Severing, Lightning Slash ]

The body of the Tainted split in half as his eyes expressed the deep shock and confusion it had right before dying.
