Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 567 Chaos Explosion

As soon as Reign had seen the giant sword that had been launched from the sky and had stabbed deeply inside the chest of the enemy leader, he knew that Wolf had arrived. Not only could he sense his mana, but the sword was unmistakably his.

"It's been a while since I've seen you in such a bad state, Reign," Wolf said as he came down to the ground and stood next to Reign. He stared at the enemy leader who was still alive but was barely hanging on.

"Even stabbing through his heart and destroying it wasn't enough to immediately kill him, huh?" Wolf asked as he looked at the enemy with curiosity. He had sensed an incredibly powerful wave of mana coming from the area, and he had arrived right when the chaos energy that had exploded was diminishing.

Upon sensing the powerful mana waves and seeing the aftermath of the explosion that had destroyed the area and left a gaping hole in the middle of it, which is where Reign and the leader were now standing, he rushed to help Reign out.

He was able to sense Reign's mana and just how powerful he was, which shocked him, only for that mana to vanish as Reign's transformation ended.

He had arrived just in time to save Reign and deliver the killing blow to the enemy leader who was now staring at the sky with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Wolf stared coldly at the person that had been stabbed by his sword. His back was arched back and his legs were barely touching the ground thanks to the sword. With great difficulty, the leader moved his head and stared at Wolf with anger visible on his face.

"Y- you bastard." The leader said before coughing out blood. His right hand slowly moved as he rose it and pointed at Wolf. It shock fiercely as he barely had any more strength left to even move.

"I-I was so close." The leader said as blood started flowing out from his mouth.

"So … so close."

"I am destined to rise above … others."

"Reach … immortality."

"Become, a deity."

"I won't … be defeated … by mere kids!" The leader said as a crazed expression appeared on his face.

"But if my fate is to die here, then I'm not going alone, no, I won't."

Reign suddenly opened his eyes wide as he was able to sense multiple soul fragments and even souls of people arriving at their location. Before he was able to even say anything, they arrived and entered the body of the enemy leader as he stared at them.

He suddenly started laughing maniacally before pointing his finger at Wolf.

"Oh chaos, I beckon thee, take it all."

His vitality suddenly drained and the body of the leader aged considerably in a matter of seconds. His skin withered and became thin and frail while his hair became white before falling down to the ground.

The fat and muscle on his body seemingly evaporated as what was left of his body looked like a corpse.

But both Wolf and Reign could sense the great danger that was in front of them. The smiling face of the old man in front of them was creepy and let them understand that something was about to happen as a dangerous form of energy suddenly appeared in his body.

Wolf grabbed Reign and ran back before suddenly stopping and summoning a couple of greatswords.

He could sense that he wasn't fast enough to get out of the area of impact on time, so he decided not to.

With 6 giant swords in front of him, Wolf placed both of his hands on the ground before flames appeared on the swords. A giant wall of flames was suddenly created in front of him as he shielded Reign who was right behind him.

As soon as the wall of flames appeared, the body of the old man suddenly exploded as chaos energy that was even thicker and deadlier compared to the one that had appeared after the cloud was destroyed and charged out.

The impact reached Wolf immediately, and two of the six swords were destroyed right away. The wall of flames kept the chaos energy at bay and if one was to look at them from above, one would be able to see a sea of chaos energy flowing through the area while the swords and firewall that Wolf had summoned looked like a giant rock in the middle of that sea that forced it to go around it.

The two were safe, but Wolf immediately had to use his mark and go all out as one more sword was broken.

After 3 more seconds had passed, another 2 swords broke while blood started flowing out from Wolf's orifices. He was using everything he had to stop the chaos energy from reaching them, if he didn't do so, then both he and Reign could die today.

Even though he was in his peak condition right now, even he wasn't certain that his body was powerful enough to survive the attack, much less Reign who was clearly in a bad condition.

Crack!

A crack appeared on the final sword that was being used by Wolf to block the chaos energy. The energy had already started diminishing, but being hit by it would definitely cause the two some serious damage, which was why Wolf clenched his fists and used everything he had left to boost the wall of flames and the sword in order to withstand the chaos energy.

Suddenly

The sword broke and the flames were not enough to stave off the final vestiges of the chaos energy that had broken through. Before the chaos energy was able to hit Wolf, however, a small black hole appeared in front of him.

The chaos energy was sucked inside and disappeared while the rest vanished.

Wolf looked back at Reign who was down on one knee and had his right hand stretched out.

"W-what the hell was that, Reign?" Wolf asked Reign with shock as he was clearly able to see that what appeared in front of him was similar to Shadow's [ Darkness Implosion ] skill, which was something that one could only use if he had the darkness manipulation ability.

The only reason Shadow was able to use it before his ability had evolved and reached rank S was because of the mark he had been given by Hades, otherwise, even he would be unable to use it without first reaching rank S.

"I'll explain later, we have to go, that bastard is about to escape." Reign said as he stood up with difficulty. Wolf grabbed him before he fell down, but even he was quite shaky on his legs.

"Escape, who are you talking about, hell, it doesn't even matter, neither one of us can even walk right now." Wolf said as he fell down to one knee, visibly weakened after blocking the immense chaos energy from before.

"Master!"

"Reign!"

Two voices suddenly rang out behind them as Greenie and Aelrinder appeared tens of meters behind them.

"You two, great, carry me to where Wolf's sword is, now!" Reign shouted out as he stumbled about.

Greenie suddenly picked him up and ran toward the sword, not even asking why Reign was asking him to do so.

If Reign told him to do something, then it was for a good reason and Greenie wouldn't ask why.

Aelrinder grabbed Wolf, and quickly put him over his shoulder, carrying him like a sack of potatoes as he ran behind Greenie.

As they got to where Wolf's sword was, Wolf was surprised to see that it was not damaged in the slightest.

"You two, pour your mana in me, quickly!" Reign said as he collapsed on the ground before climbing up to one knee.

Aelrinder and Greenie glanced at each other before doing what he told them to.

As soon as they did so, Reign stretched out his right hand and aimed it at the sword that was stabbed deep inside the ground.

'I don't have enough energy to capture it, it's regrettable, but I have to destroy it.' Reign said as Aethion nodded at his words.

"He is too dangerous to be left alive."

Reign's eyes suddenly turned gray as invisible energy enveloped the sword. In mere seconds, Wolf and the others were able to see the outline of a man struggling to escape from it.

"That bastard, he was still alive?" Wolf asked with difficulty as he stared at the soul of the enemy leader who had tried to escape.

Blowing up his body was merely a distraction, one that he hoped would have been powerful enough to kill Wolf and Reign, but that wasn't the real reason why he had done so.

He had taken back all the soul fragments he had placed in his men, and he even took their souls with it in order to boost the power of his own soul so that he could leave his body and return to his hideout where a new body that he had prepared in case something like this would ever happen.

Luckily, Reign was able to sense it and knew what he was doing, and he wasn't about to allow him to simply leave.
