Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 154 Aethion's Trump Card



"Dammit, does anyone have an idea of what to do now?" Reign asks the others while decapitating his enemy with a swift swing of his sword. His power of the stars was still on cooldown and he couldn't use that to take care of the necromancer. Tank still had his scythe but they were still wary of the necromancer, there was no way that such a person didn't have at least one life-saving trick up his sleeve.

Suddenly Reign's sword reverts back to its broken state as he dodges an attack.

"We have to take care of the elites first." Shadow suddenly says as he activates his shadow bind skill. The shadows coil around 3 elites that were down on the ground and tighten around them, not allowing them to move an inch.

"Of course!" Reign suddenly looks at Shadow with a smile on his face. If they can immobilize the elites then they could easily attack the necromancer, the normal undead were too weak to do anything to them anyway.

"Dammit, that guy can actually do something like that." The necromancer grimaces darkly as he looks straight towards Shadow who was cutting apart another enemy with his daggers.

The party slowly goes from elite to elite as they do their best to simply destroy their arms and legs after that Shadow would use his shadow bind skill the immobilize them. After they had managed to take care of 10 elites that way Shadow was panting heavily as he looked at the others.

"That's my limit, I can't bind more of them, even though they are weaker than normal elites their strength is still enough to break through if I weaken the binds in order to create more."

"You did enough, Beast!" Reign suddenly shouts as Beast nods and lets his animals out. Blackie and Fluffy pounce on two of the elites and hold them down on the ground while the other two wolves hold down one.

Wolf uses his old greatsword to stab through the abdomen of one of the elite zombies before stabbing heavily on the ground. The zombie tried its best to remove the sword and move, but Wolf had made it as heavy as possible before stabbing through it, to remove it from such a position was almost impossible.

Tank's four soldiers also did their best as they each took on an elite while Greenie was beating up another one. Now there was only 1 elite that was moving on the battlefield, a number that the others could easily take care of.

Reign's lightning-coated body suddenly appears in front of the necromancer as the latter widens his eyes. Reign stabs towards the bone wall with his katana as it pierces through with ease.

"Kya!" The necromancer spits out blood as the katana had pierced through his shoulder.

"So I need to aim a bit better huh?" Reign smiles at the necromancer through the small gaps of the wall before taking his katana out. Before he could attack again however a big figure suddenly erupts from the ground and hits him from the side.

"What?!" Reign blocks the attack with his swords before being launched a couple of meters away. His arms were numb from the blow. He looks towards the necromancer and the big armored soldier that had appeared next to it.

[ Lvl 28 Mini-Boss, Death Knight ]

"Tch, he even had this under his sleeve, but it's alright, a mini-boss won't be enough to save you now," Reign says with a smile while wiping off the blood from his lips. Suddenly he looks at the necromancer as he could feel an incredible amount of mana being emanated from him.

"You asked for this, you little bastards!" The necromancer shouts as the bone wall suddenly explodes, showing his burning figure. The green fire was burning all around him while the undead army around them suddenly fell dead.

"What's happening?" Reign asks as he looks at the corpse hills around them, each of them was burning as well. He had a bad feeling about what was about to happen.

"I have to hurry!" He says as he launches himself towards the necromancer with great speed. Before he could arrive however a big blast sent him flying backward while blood was spurted out of his mouth.

Bam!

The necromancer was at the center of the explosion as his body was suddenly thinner than before. He looks towards Reign and the others as he smiles.

"Death Dominion."

The 20 elites were suddenly set ablaze as they actually manage to rip apart their bindings, the ones that were being held down to the ground by Blackie and Fluffy struggled furiously before being let go by them as the two were burned by the otherworldly fire.

Greenie's opponent was suddenly on par with him as it attacked relentlessly. Greenie's hands were slightly burned as he pushes the undead back.

"I actually have to sacrifice so many good soldiers, I'll make you pay for this later you bastards, I'll make sure to use your bodies for an eternity after killing you!" Aethion shouts furiously before picking up a bone scythe from the ground. He had no thoughts on joining the fight, but he wanted to be ready in case Reign or anyone else attacked him again.

"Damn bastard, actually using something like this, they're all berserk." Reign wipes the blood as he stands up heavily, the last blow really did a number on him. The others slowly regroup with him as they look at the elite monsters that were charging towards them.

"What should we do now, our previous tactic won't work," Shadow asks while looking towards the elites that were coming at them.

"Just kill them, this skill definitely has a big drawback, as long we manage to survive for long enough we will win," Reign says as he charges towards the elite with the others.

Clang!

The elites were now able to block Reign's attacks while even counterattacking, they had no fear of death and didn't care if they got injured whilst fighting. Their power was now almost equal to a mini-boss.

Suddenly a big shadow was cast over Reign as he jumps backward.

Bam!

The ground shook violently as the burning Death Knight hit the place Reign previously stood on. The mini-boss was now even faster and more powerful compared to before.

"Dammit, even this guy was buffed?!" Reign curses as he activates his final power. The lightning around him changes as it turns milky white, as does his hair and eyes. He had managed to master more of his mysterious ability in the time since he used it last.

On the other side, Wolf and Tank managed to take down one elite but before they could even celebrate the elite suddenly sprung back up from the ground.

"They can still revive?!" Wolf shouts as he blocks an attack coming from his left side.

Normally a necromancer wouldn't be able to revive his undead so many times, but they were fighting him in his hideout now, the numerous corpse hills were actually the main source of the death mana he used for reviving his troops. It could be said that his mana reserve was hundreds of times larger inside of the hideout compared to what it normally was.

Aethion smiles gleefully at their reactions before looking towards Reign. What he saw made him widen his eyes in surprise as the lightning-clad man moved between his two opponents before slashing off the hand of the elite.

The cut on the elite suddenly emits a dim smoke and Reign notices it but doesn't do anything about it yet. Aethion was looking at him with his mouth agape.

"L-Light, impossible, how could he also be a light user?" His surprise came from the fact that light and darkness users would rarely ever have another elemental ability, to see someone like this was simply too rare in the whole universe.

While the others desperately fought against the elites Reign was attacking both the mini-boss and the elite. His power-up from the second ability, albeit not as strong as the star power was still enough to allow him to dodge their attacks effortlessly while being able to counterattack. The other positive fact was that he could use this ability for a much longer period of time.

He dodges yet another attack from the elite before slashing it at the stomach. The wound again emits smoke as the elite actually shrieks in pain.

"I see, gotcha bitch." Reign smiles widely as he wounds the mini-bosses leg before charging towards the elite again. Before the elite could attack him he pierces through its arm before decapitating it. The undead lays on the ground while white smoke starts being emitted from the corpse.

Reign looks straight at Aethion and smiles again. His reaction was enough to understand that he couldn't revive this elite.

"Light, how could I have forgotten about this, light is always the nemesis against undead creatures." Reign whispers to himself before shaking his head. He know had an effective counter against the necromancer and his minions. It was time to counterattack and finish this battle.
