Chapter 1013: A Battle on Three Fronts
Reign could sense the enemy leader who was still inside the shack, he could sense his aura that was calling out to him, inviting him inside the shack.
The corruption moved, forming a path for Reign as he went inside the shack, slightly apprehensive, but not afraid.
He was confident in his own strength, he was confident that no matter who his enemy was if he transformed, they wouldn\'t be able to defeat him. It was absolute confidence that came from the depths of his very being, something that he had because he was a Nephilim.
Reign stepped inside as light appeared around him.
If the enemy leader tried using the corruption to attack him, the light would purify it, and destroy it completely without leaving a single trace.
"You are quite wary of it." A calm voice echoed through the shack, which was many times larger inside than it was from the outside.
"I\'m inside enemy territory, why wouldn\'t I be wary of things here?" Reign asked as a chuckle escaped the mouth of the enemy leader.
"That is true, you are the one that has attacked us after all, so I guess you are ready for what is coming." The leader said as he got up, allowing Reign to see him for the first time.
He had long, messy, black hair that fell all the way to his stomach. His eyes were narrow and his irises black with a stumble present on his face. He was quite muscular and about 1.9m tall. He wore old robes that were ripped at the shoulders, allowing him to showcase his muscular arms.
"Well, shall we begin, leader of the \'Heaven\'s Hooligans\'?"
Back outside, Wolf and the others were facing off against the enemy Tier VI combatants.
The head priest took action first, together with the tall man who had appeared back when Wolf had defeated one of their Tier VI combatants.
Both stared at them before utilizing their soul power and attacking them all with it.
To their dismay, they found that their soul attack did very little to them, in fact, it barely made them flinch.
The two soul attacks that had combined passed through the party as if they were nothing.
"What?!"
"Didn\'t you say that only one of them can utilize soul power?" The head priest asked the tall man who nodded his head before staring at Wolf and the others who were now charging at them.
What they didn\'t know was that Reign and the others wouldn\'t allow the same thing to happen as before. They knew that the enemy had more than 1 person that could utilize soul power, and from the memories of the fake Tier VI, Reign, and the others guessed that other than the tall man and their leader, the head priest should also be a person that can do it.
It was mostly them being careful and willing to overestimate their opponent inside of underestimating them, and it worked perfectly well for them.
With the help of Aethion, Reign used his soul power to create a barrier around the souls of Wolf and the others. Discover more content at m,v l\'e-NovelBin
It was not easy, and one could say that it is a more advanced form of soul manipulation, one that Reign would never have been able to do had it not been for Aethion\'s help, but he was able to create the barriers, allowing Wolf and the others to face soul-based attacks without a care, at least for some time.
The barriers weren\'t eternal, and they would also get weaker and weaker the more they were attacked, but this gave the party a slight advantage over their enemies. The enemy had no idea how they were not affected by soul power, and thus, they would be a bit wary and wouldn\'t use soul power as often as they usually would.
With the barriers protecting them from soul-based attacks, Wolf and the others pressed forward, their determination unwavering. They clashed with the enemy Tier VI combatants, their weapons flashing as they exchanged blows.
The battlefield was chaotic, filled with the clang of metal and the crackle of magic. Spells flew through the air, and blades clashed with deadly force.
Despite being outnumbered, Wolf and the others showed no trace of worry or care. They were skilled warriors, each one a force to be reckoned with in their own right, and the enemy combatants, although outnumbering them, weren\'t as powerful as they were, especially the fake Tier VI combatants.
But the enemy combatants were no pushovers for sure. They fought fiercely, their attacks relentless as they sought to overcome their adversaries.
Wolf took on the head priest, Aelrinder fought against the tall man, Shadow took on the girl that had appeared with the tall man the last time, Tank fought against the man with the distortion ability that Wolf had defeated previously and Ivan, the leader of the mercenaries, took on the final Tier VI combatant.
Laura and the others were fighting against the fake Tier VI combatants, and Beast had already unleashed both Blackie and the flood dragon to fight alongside them, tipping the scales in their favor.
As for outside of the base, Greenie and the two other mercenary leaders were still waiting for the 5 enemy combatants to appear.
They could hear the sounds of battle and the explosions that were taking place in the base which no longer had the arrays around it, and even though they wished they could charge in and help the others, they knew that their task was too important.
Suddenly, they heard a sound, a sound of the wall at the end of the tunnel splitting open before hearing the sounds of footsteps that were echoing through the tunnel as the five combatants rushed back to help their comrades out.
Greenie stared at the two mercenaries, and all three nodded simultaneously as they clenched their weapons and got ready to ambush the enemy combatants, and after a couple of seconds, they did just that.
As the five appeared in front of Greenie and the others, the three all lunged forward, taking the five enemy combatants by surprise as they didn\'t expect anybody to be hiding in the tunnel that led out of the chamber.
That would be the biggest mistake the five made, rushing back and not being careful enough.
Greenie targeted their leader right away and smashed down with his hammer on the man who barely had any time to react and defend against the blow while the two mercenary leaders both unleashed AOE attacks on the four fake Tier VI combatants.
The entire group was caught off guard and was unable to defend properly against the attacks, which placed them on the back foot at the very start of the battle.
The battle inside the base raged on while the battle inside the shack started, with Reign and the enemy leader locked in a fierce duel. The enemy leader was skilled, his movements fluid and precise, but Reign was no less skilled than he was. He matched the enemy leader blow for blow, his swordsmanship and agility proving to be superior.
As they clashed, the enemy leader unleashed powerful spells and attacks, but Reign deftly dodged and countered, his light manipulation proving to be a formidable weapon against the corruption-based attacks of his opponent. The shack around them trembled from the intensity of their battle, but Reign remained focused, his eyes locked on his target.
The leader didn\'t use a weapon, at least he wasn\'t using one yet. He was only fighting using his fists and legs which were being imbued with the power of corruption that was present all around them.
"Are you sure you want to continue fighting like this, I don\'t want to sound arrogant, but to fight against me without a weapon is almost a death wish, you know?" Reign asked the leader who chuckled and shook his head.
"I do not use weapons, my body is my weapon, and the corruption around us is also my weapon, I have no need to use anything else."
\'Kid, he might not be able to use a weapon.\' Aethion suddenly spoke inside Reign\'s head.
\'There are certain classes in the leveling realm and certain abilities and powers that will not allow a person to use a weapon if they wish to draw out the full power of said ability and power.\'
\'The corruption is probably connected to his ability, and it might not allow him to use any kind of weapon other than his body and the corruption itself, so don\'t take him lightly because he isn\'t using a weapon, he isn\'t doing it because he underestimates you or is cocky.\'
Reign took a deep breath, not showing any emotions or acknowledging Aethion\'s words from the outside before charging at the man again.
