Is this really a Game?!

The main power of the wolf came from his ability to devour souls, an incredibly powerful ability that anyone would be scared off, especially the demons who could get revived as long as their souls were untouched.

That was the main reason why the wolf could simply lazy around and do nothing all day.

It was because the other monsters didn\'t know the true extent of his ability, and they didn\'t want to find out.

The first mountain actually housed more Tier II monsters at one point.

But it quickly became overcrowded, each of the powerful monsters wanted to have a large territory for themselves and in the end, they all fought against each other.

That was when the giant wolf used its ability for the first time, some of the monsters had no idea what happened and how a wolf that was a high-level Tier I being had suddenly become a Tier II, but those that had seen what the wolf had done were suddenly terrified of it.

For a Tier I being to suddenly devour hundreds of souls and reach Tier II so quickly meant that if the battle continued, the wolf would become even more powerful and in the end, it might become stronger than any of them.

The remaining Tier II monsters quickly ended the battle and picked a territory each, forming the territories that existed on the mountain right now, or well, the territories that once existed before Reign and the others arrived and killed 3 out of the 6 remaining Tier II monsters.

The Treant wasn\'t a part of the battle, and nobody dared come close to him as they knew that he was much more powerful than the rest.

The wolf was dead. After Reign\'s lightning attacked the wolf who was trapped by the others, the monster became weaker and weaker fairly quickly.

There was nothing it could do, it tried to break out and get away from the lightning, but Shadow and the others didn\'t let it. The wolf who was becoming weaker and weaker with each passing second grew restless, but it didn\'t have enough strength to break out and could only struggle in futility.

After Reign had noticed that his lightning was no longer able to weaken the wolf anymore, he and the others went all out.

The wolf was now just slightly more powerful compared to the beginning and had no chance of defeating Reign and the others.

It was only able to last about 4 minutes before collapsing on the ground.

One could see many burns on the body, some were from Wolf\'s flames, while others were from Reign\'s lightning that had continuously been shocking it.

Reign and the others had managed to defeat the monster, but none of them were really excited because they knew that the real fight only started now.

The demon and the fox were two monsters that would definitely give them the most problems.

They had no idea just how powerful the demon was, but they needed to fight it in its own base where probably hundreds of other ash demons resided.

They would be surrounded quickly and Reign and the others would have to worry not only about fighting the Tier II ash demon, but they would have to focus on getting rid of the others as well.

As for the fox, that was one monster that worried them the most.

Even if the battle against the demons went bad, they were all quite confident of being able to flee from them and come back later. They would be unable to do so when fighting the fox as turning your back to such a fast enemy would spell doom for most.

The little monster was not only incredibly fast, but its attack was nothing to be scoffed at, just like Reign and the others had seen when it decapitated a monster in one swift attack.

The size would also be a problem.

The fox was a very small target and just managing to hit it would be an issue. If they could somehow grab and hold it down, then they would have a much easier time fighting it, but that was a pipe dream.

The wolf had dropped a nice rank S cloak that was made of fur, rank S boots, and a belt.

The items were fairly good and were of use to them. They quickly distributed them, the cloak went to Wolf, the boots to Beast while Laura was the one to get the belt.

They of course distributed it mostly by what stats the equipment increased and how beneficial the bonus they bring would be.

They took their loot, got the body parts of the wolf, and went back to their base.

They hadn\'t really been injured or as tired out as in the last two fights, but they still wanted to be in the best possible physical condition before attacking the demons.

Having to deal with fighting over a hundred, or perhaps even hundreds of demons weren\'t something that was incredibly easy after all.

Reign and the others talked about what to do and decided to make a detour and check out the demon base once again before going back to their own territory.

They came close and observed the demons once again, but it was fruitless as the demons were pretty much doing the same as last time.

Some were walking around the base, others were going in and out of the buildings and there were those that came to the base with the prey they caught today.

There was nothing special to be seen and they slowly made their way back to the base.

It was then that something unexpected happened.

Upon walking back, Reign and the others suddenly saw a blur pass by about 14 meters from them.

Whatever it was, it was fast.

Reign and the others stared at one another before Reign and Shadow went to check it out.

Shadow could now manipulate the shadows to cover not only him but others as well.

Both he and Reign were now well hidden and it would be very difficult for one to notice them even if they were staring at them from 3 meters away.

The two moved and arrived at the location where the small monster had gone, upon seeing the monster, however, both Reign and Shadow became a bit nervous.

It was the fox.

And it was very far from its own territory.

Hell, it was basically inside the demon\'s territory at this point.

Reign and the others stared at what was happening, the little fox was carrying a large piece of meat in its mouth and stopped near a tree.

Suddenly the shrubs and bushes moved and a pair of foxes appeared from inside.

The two foxes were injured and a bit weak, but they could still move and walk around.

It had seemed that the Tier II fox had taken it upon itself to help the two out and make sure they had enough food to survive before healing completely.

The Tier II fox simply dropped the meat and sat nearby, watching the two eat the meat and observing the surroundings. It only left after more than 5 minutes had passed and the two high-level Tier I foxes had finished eating.

They were seemingly still hungry as they stared at the place where the meat was with slight sadness.

The fox came to them, licked them a bit, and then went back, Reign didn\'t know whether the fox was going back to its territory or to get even more food.

The two glanced at each other before going back to the others and telling them what they had seen.

Upon hearing their words, Wolf suddenly had a dangerous expression on his face.

"What is it?"

"How about we make the fox and the demons fight against each other?"

"Huh?"

"Well, there are two foxes here that it has been taking care of, if the two were to die and their corpses were found near the base, alongside a trail of blood, I can bet that the fox would go crazy in anger and attack the demons."

"But, we would be killing enemies that are wounded and can\'t even fight back, is that really-"

"Beast!" Wolf suddenly shouted as he stared at him and Laura.

"They are monsters, not tame ones, but wild ones that will jump on you the first chance they have and kill you before feasting on your body, now, I know that you are a bit easier on them since you possess such an ability, but we can\'t forget that we are fighting against them."

"Now, we have a choice, lure the fox into fighting the demons by killing those two, or do nothing and then fight them individually in their own territories where we can lose our lives, honestly, I think the answer is clear," Wolf said as he stared at everybody.
