Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 248 Azar And The Personal Guards

The powerful aura being released from Reign surprised even the orc chieftain, even though he had hundreds of subordinates and three of them were boss-ranked, Reign's aura was almost the same level as theirs. Not to mention that there was something else he could feel hidden beneath the powerful mana being released by Reign, something that made even him wary.

Reign turned his head around and nodded at the others, in a flash he was gone from his position as he charged at the boss. His incredible speed made it impossible for the elite orcs to stop him, and before they could even try to follow him, Wolf and the others made their move. Four soldiers were suddenly summoned in front of Tank, each of his immortal soldiers was an elite soldier and they could fight evenly against the orcs.

Beast used his arrow to quickly send a couple of volleys towards the orcs that tried their best to defend, two of them were long-range combatants and they replied with their own arrows. Neither Beast nor Laura moved from their spot, a dark purple barrier was created in front of them as it blocked the arrows.

That was a new skill that Laura had created using Tank's dome skill as an example. Her purple barrier was not at the same level as the dome however as she could only create a barrier that was 3 meters tall and 3 meters wide, it wasn't enough to shield everyone from attacks, but when it came to just her and Beast, it was more than enough.

Reign arrived in front of Azar and attacked him with his two swords. His speed came as another surprise to Azar who swiftly used his glaive to meet his attack. Thanks to his incredible strength which was well above 100 points he was able to easily block the attack and push Reign back a little bit, Reign wasn't disheartened by it as he had already expected such an outcome.

He wasn't planning on killing the boss by himself, of course, the elite orcs wouldn't last a long time against Wolf and the others and his only goal right now was to keep the chieftain busy so that he wouldn't join their battle.

"Fast, but a fast rat is still just a rat." Azar proclaimed as he swung his glaive towards Reign, the powerful attack carried a fierce wind with it as Reign could feel the power beneath the attack before it even reached him. Using his speed he dodged the blow before it connected with the ground, a 2m long crack was formed from the blow as Reign widened his eyes a bit.

'That was only a normal attack, he didn't even infuse a lot of mana in it.'

With haste Reign continued fighting against the boss, weaving left and right as he dodged his attacks whilst trying to hit his opponent, Azar's armor however proved to be stronger than he thought as even his katana was only able to leave scratches on it, it was evident that he wouldn't be able to injure the boss without attacking the gaps in the armor or using some of his more powerful skills.

On the other side of the hall Wolf and the others were already pushing back the orcs, none of them went all out as they wanted to conserve their stamina and mana for the boss. Shadow was fighting against Magokur's subordinate as the two of them traded blow after blow, of course, none of the blows were aimed at any vital spots nor did they have any killing intent behind them.

The two were tactically moving closer to two orcs that were fighting against two of Tank's soldiers, the soldiers were previously told about the orc and that he was one of them so they already had an inkling of what Shadow and he was about to do.

As the orc came 1m behind the two he suddenly slipped and fell down to one knee, of course, that was just an act as he swiftly turned around and stabbed one orc through the leg before twisting the sword and causing an incredible amount of pain to the orc who lost focus for a bit, that was enough for Julie to cut his head off.

Shadow, on the other hand, used the situation to swiftly appear behind the other orc, with a swift motion he stabbed both of his daggers through the orc's neck before twisting the slightly and pulling them out, blood spurted out from the wounds as the orc tried to stop it, in mere seconds he collapsed down on the ground. Donovan who was fighting against the orc simply nodded at Shadow before running off to help the others, the betrayal of one of their own shocked the elites who went all out during the fight.

Their goal wasn't to win, they could feel that the people they were fighting were all stronger compared to them, the only thing they wished to do right now was to force them to use as much stamina and mana before dying in order to make the battle easier for the chieftain. Another goal they had was to kill the traitor who was now fighting against them with the humans.

They fought wildly and without any care, they didn't even bother blocking most blows as they wanted to trade blow for blow with Wolf and the others. A cornered animal was the most dangerous one, that was certainly true as the orcs had suddenly become much harder to deal with, since they knew they were going to die they stopped caring about their injuries or safety and only focused on attacking.

On the other side, Reign was still trading blows with the chieftain who finally realized what was happening to his guards, seeing that one of their own had betrayed them infuriated him, all of the guards were hand-picked by him, and their strength was only below the three bosses and all had an undying loyalty to him, all except for one of course.

Seeing the soldiers he trained for so long being killed by Wolf and the others made his anger spike as he suddenly hit the ground of the hall with his pommel, the area surrounding him started shaking as dark green mana was infused in the glaive. Suddenly an explosion of mana happens around him as Reign was blown back by a couple of meters, without even looking at the result of his attack, Azar suddenly charged Wolf and the others.

Swish

Before he could get close however the boss felt pain in his left leg, looking down he could see Shadow teleported behind him and stabbed his leg with one of his daggers before throwing a pitch-black ball of mana toward him. Azar's eyes constricted as he saw the ball, with an incredible speed he twisted his hips as he delivered a powerful blow at it.

The ball explodes as the [ Darkness Implosion ] skill activated, the whole arm of the orc chieftain was covered by his mana but even that wasn't even to fully block the powerful attack, cracks in the form of a spiders web were suddenly formed on the gauntlet of the boss and by the end of the skill the gauntlet was broken in pieces.

Reign suddenly arrived at the side of the boss, with haste he slashed at him multiple times as the boss was forced to defend against the attacks which allowed Shadow to pull out his dagger and draw some distance while using his shadow bind in order to bind the left leg of the boss.

The shadow binding however turns out to be almost useless as Azar was able to completely destroy it in a second with his powerful mana. Reign's attacks were only dangerous for the boss if he managed to hit a spot that was not guarder by his armor, with his left arm being completely bare now, however, it was the prime target for Reign.

Even the dense mana that coated the whole arm wasn't enough to completely block the sharp katana that Reign used, cuts had already formed on the chieftain's arm as the latter looked furiously at the two who were fighting against him.

Even though the two weren't enough to endanger his life, Reign's lightning-fast attacks and Shadow's manipulation of the shadows were enough to force the orc to stop and fight against them, one wrong move could result in an injury that the chieftain would take. One thing that the chieftain noticed was the fight between his elites and the enemies, or rather the lack of it.

Turning his head around he could see the captain of his guards on his knees as a flaming sword had pierced through his chest, the orc spurted out blood from his mouth as his body started burning. With a quick pull, Wolf took the sword out before decapitating the orc.

The battle between the personal guards and Wolf and the others had finished, contrary to what they expected, the orcs managed to inflict some wounds on them and forced them to use a bit more mana. Still, the battle was completely one-sided from the very beginning and they managed to finish them off.
