Is this really a Game?!

A massive burst of energy erupted from the demon, a shockwave of pure, destructive force that rippled outwards, threatening to obliterate everything in its path. The ground shook, rocks shattered, and the air crackled with energy as the demon unleashed its full power.

The demon\'s body changed noticeably after he used the attack. The bone armor was gone, and the bones that were previously present on the demon\'s head didn\'t appear again.

The demon had shrunk from being slightly over 5 meters tall to about 4 meters, its muscles had seemingly deflated and it looked a lot more frail than before.

Out of its four arms, two were in a worse state than the others. They were thinner, one could easily see the bones of the arms, and it was a question if the demon could even use the two arms for anything right now.

Reign and the others braced themselves, their eyes locked on the approaching wave of destruction. With a swift motion, Reign raised his swords, ready to defend against the impending onslaught. Tank and Greenie stood firm, their transformed bodies radiating with power as they prepared to withstand the impact with the others.

This was a last-ditch attempt of the demon to take them down. The demon was betting everything on this one attack, using everything he had to try and defeat them.

If the attack failed, then it was game over, the demon would not be able to defend against Reign and the others. The demon just needed the attack to send them flying back, to deal some damage to them, and allow it to escape, it didn\'t even need the attack to do anything else.

With how things stood, it was doubtful that it could take down any of them, and leaving with its life was good enough. It never expected that the first enemies it would meet after coming here would be so freakishly strong that they would be able to defeat him even when he went all out.

As the wave of energy drew closer, the demon\'s roar filled the air, a mixture of rage and desperation. The shockwave arrived in front of Reign and the others, moving with incredible speed and possessing immense destructive power.

The previous wave of demonic energy of the demon collapsed when the shockwave struck it, the power from the wave going in the shockwave, further boosting it and making it more powerful.

The twin vipers and the other attacks that were launched by Wolf and the others collapsed after struggling against the shockwave for a bit.

The wave crashed into Reign and his companions, engulfing them in a blinding light. For a moment, it seemed as though they would be consumed by the demon\'s attack. The power of the shockwave was simply too immense, it was an attack the demon had launched after putting everything at stake, including his body and health.

However, Reign and his companions were not so easily defeated. With a collective effort, they summoned all of their strength and resilience, pushing back against the wave of destruction with sheer willpower. Their bodies strained against the force of the shockwave, but they stood firm, their determination unyielding.

Tank and Greenie, in their transformed states, bore the brunt of the attack, their bodies absorbing the impact with incredible resilience. Their muscles bulged with power as they held their ground, their resolve unwavering.

Mia and Laura, with their respective elemental powers, added their strength to the defense, creating barriers of frost and demonic energy to shield themselves and the others from the onslaught.

Shadow, standing tall and staring at the shockwave, launched a ball of darkness at the shockwave that exploded upon touching it, transforming into a small black hole that started consuming the shockwave and weakening it

Wolf, with his chaotic flames, unleashed a torrent of fire that clashed against the shockwave, creating a barrier of intense heat that further weakened the demon\'s attack. Reign, hovering above the group, channeled his mana to form a protective shield with his light.

His right hand was up in the air, forming the shield, while his left hand was extended forward, darkness swirling on his palm as the shockwave started being drawn over to it, slowly being consumed, just like what was happening with Shadow\'s attack.

The shockwave suddenly started struggling heavily against their attacks, it started flickering slightly, losing its power, and losing its form a bit.

The demon, realizing that its attack was being countered, roared in frustration, pouring even more of its remaining energy into the shockwave in a last-ditch effort to overwhelm Reign and his companions. But despite its best efforts, the shockwave continued to weaken, its power diminishing with each passing moment.

After all, the demon had already used everything it had in order to attack Reign and the others with the shockwave. It was the culmination of all of his powers, and the little power he had left was not nearly enough to make a difference.

Reign and the others, fueled by their determination and unity, pressed their advantage, their attacks intensifying as they focused their efforts on dispelling the demon\'s onslaught. They could clearly sense that they were gaining the upper hand, and, with a final surge of effort, they pushed back against the shockwave with renewed determination.

Their combined attacks wore down the demon\'s attack, breaking through the shockwave and dispersing it into nothingness.

As the shockwave dissipated, the demon staggered back, its form flickering and wavering. It was clear that the demon had exhausted all of its power, and it was now vulnerable to their counterattack.

The demon, however, was not the only one that was exhausted.

Reign\'s transformation ended, his form flickering as he returned to his usual state, as did Tank and Greenie. In fact, everybody was now back in their usual state, but it was fine.

The demon was not back in its usual state, in fact, it was much weaker than back when they started the battle against it.

Reign stared at the demon and smirked as his eyes turned purple, causing the demon to grab its head and fall down on its knees.

It roared in anger and agony as its soul was being attacked, stabbed by the invisible soul blades that Reign launched at it.

Wolf and the others didn\'t stay idle either.

They immediately followed up on Reign\'s attack, unleashing a barrage of their own attacks on the weakened demon. Tank and Greenie charged forward, their transformed states no longer present, but their usual forms were enough as they delivered powerful blows to the demon\'s body, further weakening its already battered form.

Laura summoned a barrage of demonic energy projectiles that rained down on the demon, each strike adding to its torment. Mia conjured icy spears that impaled the demon\'s flesh, causing it to roar in pain. Shadow darted around the demon, his darkened blades slicing through its weakened defenses with deadly precision.

Wolf unleashed a torrent of chaotic flames, engulfing the demon in a blazing inferno that seared its flesh and sent it reeling. The combined assault was relentless, each strike weakening the demon further and pushing it closer to defeat.

Reign, his eyes glowing with purple energy, continued to attack the demon\'s soul, his soul blades cutting through its defenses with ease. The demon\'s roars of pain filled the air as it struggled to defend against the onslaught.

With a final, powerful strike, Reign unleashed a surge of soul energy that pierced through the demon\'s soul, causing it to scream in agony before Reign\'s eyes started glowing even more before he smirked at the demon.

\'Can we do it?\'

"Yes, I\'m ready, just say the word, and we\'ll do our best to get that bastard\'s soul kid." Aethion said as Reign extended his hands before performing a pulling motion, which made the demon freeze, his eyes widening in shock as it stared at Reign in horror.

"No, I\'m … I\'m a raid boss, I am given immunity by the system, you cannot do this!"

\'Is that true?\' Reign asked Aethion who shrugged his shoulders.

"It could be, but since the system is not stopping us, it means it is fine with you doing this, it seems to like you more than this demon," Aethion said with a chuckle as the two continued pulling the demon\'s soul out of its body, the demon\'s roars echoing around them.

The roars would sometimes be from its body, but sometimes from the soul.

"System, save me, help me!"

"You promised me, save me!"

"Please, save me!" The demon yelled in panic as it felt its soul leaving its body, making it weaker and weaker, until finally, Reign managed to get the entire soul out before taking it for himself.
