Is this really a Game?!

"You\'re the one dying today, I\'m Tank"

"Greenie."

"Huh?"

The ogre suddenly stops and looks towards Greenie. "What did you say?"

"Greenie." Greenie looks at him with a confused expression before answering him.

"Buahahahahaha." The ogre looks up at the ceiling and laughs heartily after hearing the name for a second time.

"Greenie, a mighty Vajra is named Greenie, hahahahaha!" The ogre bends down and uses his club as support. After a couple of seconds, Ranzur regains his calm and takes a deep breath before picking his club again.

"You surely have made this old thing surprised with that little one, no matter though, your name will soon be forgotten after I deal with you."

Tank and Greenie tense up as the ogre starts running at them. The ground shakes violently as he jumps up before slamming his club towards Tank who manages to dodge the attack. The ground immediately caves and a small hole gets left on it.

Ranzur wastes no time and swings at Greenie who was already swinging his hammer at him, their attacks collide and Greenie gets pushed back as his arms get thrown in the air by the violent power of the old ogre.

"Hahaha, it\'s too soon for you to fight evenly with me little one." Ranzur laughs and continues attacking Greenie, his movement and swings were fortunately slow, which allows Greenie to dodge with no difficulty. Seeing his actions Ranzur raises an eyebrow.

"A Vajra that actually evades attacks, now that is rare." The Vajra were known in the universe for their overwhelming power and love for battle, when fighting them most would be overwhelmed by their ferocity. To see a Vajra that could actually control himself and dodge attacks was a rare sight as most Vajra\'s would simply attack with no care for their own safety.

Greenie takes Ranzur\'s words differently though, he thought the old ogre was making fun of him for dodging attacks instead of fighting as a warrior would. He feels anger rising from the depth of his soul but manages to calm himself down after remembering the plan his master and his teammates agreed on, he would never do something that could endanger their lives.

"I see that look boy, you got angry but still managed to control yourself, huh, truly a wonderful sight, were you not my opponent I would use everything in my power to take you in and train you, but unfortunately that is impossible."

Ranzur continues speaking before he grunts in pain. He was too focused on Greenie and actually forgot about Tank who was behind him. With his axe in his right-hand Tank channeled mana to increase the strength of his attack before delivering a strong slash at the giant\'s leg. The axe cuts deeply inside, but since the since the difference was so overwhelming the damage done was less than optimal.

Ranzur lifts his leg and kicks back at Tank who was unable to take his axe back in time, the huge leg hits him and makes him fly back a couple of meters before landing on the floor and sliding a bit. Holding his chest Tank gets up and spits out some blood, the force of the attack was enormous and managed to damage him.

"Strong bastard." Tank wipes the blood off of his lips and charges at the ogre again, it wasn\'t true that Tank and Greenie couldn\'t kill the ogre by themselves, they were capable of it. It was simply because he was a mini-boss and they needed to conserve their strength and some skills for later.

Seeing that the ogre had turned around to fight against Greenie, Tank stops and throws his shield at the giant with all of his strength.

[ Shield Rocket ]

The shield spins rapidly in the air while the corners turn a bright orange color. Ranzur feels a cold sensation envelop the back of his neck and tries turning around, his speed however was simply too slow and the shield manages to hit him square in the back. The impact results in an explosion that makes him cry out in pain while the shield spun back to Tank.

Greenie immediately follows up with a Crescent Kick aimed at the old ogre\'s face before running full speed at him while channeling mana in his arms. He manages to destroy the attack with a swing of his club as Greenie reaches him. Aiming at the leg Greenie unleashes the Dominating Slash while at the same time channeling mana as much as he could in an attempt to increase the power of his attack.

Clang!

Greenie\'s attack meets the club and both of them get locked in a brief stalemate before the club starts getting slowly pushed back. Ranzur\'s face tenses up as he didn\'t expect Greenie\'s strength to be so much bigger compared to their collision before. His eyes start glowing with a dim purple color as his arms change from a white ghostly color to a purple one as well.

Flame-shaped purple mana could be seen on the skin of his arms as they suddenly became larger and more powerful. Greenie starts getting pushed back thanks to the increase in strength the ogre received.

"As I said, it\'s too soon for you to fight ME EVENLY!" Ranzur shouts as he completely overpowers Greenie and sends him flying back. With a speed greater than his previous he turns around and attacks Tank who was caught by surprise. Quickly infusing mana to his shield he lifts it up and defends himself.

Bang!

His knee buckled and he goes down on one while giving it his all to defend. His arm felt as if it was breaking after Ranzur unleashes a flurry of attacks that leaves him unable to retaliate.

Lifting his club again Ranzur holds it with both hands as he brings it down with fury at the already kneeling Tank. Tank however smiles after seeing his opponent\'s action, clutching his shield firmly he swings it towards the side of the club that was coming down on him.

[ Deflection ]

​ Description: A skill that all knights must-have. By manipulating mana to a specific spot of the shield the knight can create a burst of mana that will deflect the attack of the enemy, the strength of the skill relieves heavily on the knight\'s manipulation of mana, damage taken by the enemy, and timing.

Tanks arm gets cut by the spikes on the club as he hits the back end of it, propelling the club to go aside while accelerating its fall slightly. Ranzun widens his eyes in shock at what happened but calms himself down after remembering the power of Tank\'s attack, even with him being in a slightly disadvantageous situation it won\'t change anything. His arms were protected by the purple mana which strengthened their power not only offensively but also defensively.

Tank swings his axe at the left arm next to him. The sound of wind being cut could be heard as the mana-infused axe travels to its target. Tank\'s attack was stronger this time, even with the added defense of the mana he still managed to cut slightly through the skin and draw blood.

Ranzur suddenly shouts in pain as that was not the end of the attack. Two more attacks of the same power hit the same spot in less than a second.

[ Woodcutting Swing ]

Tank had activated his skill which allowed hit to attack 3 times consecutively in less than a second with 120% of the power. The bone could be seen from the wound the ogre had suddenly received.

A weak sensation of getting hit was suddenly felt from behind. Greenie had arrived behind the ogre again and had punched the back of the leg.

[ Shattering Punch ]

Compared to the one Greenie used against Brian in the safe zone this one was at 100% power. The hit generates a shockwave that makes the skin of the leg ripple before it suddenly bursts open in an explosion of flesh and blood.

"Aaarrghh!" The ogre shouts in pain as his legs were not protected by mana at all. The attack had actually gone through the skin and activated from the inside, those types of attacks were a weakness of species like the ogre who boasted a strong defensive power with the help of their thick skin.

In his rage, Ranzun hits Tank from the side and makes him slide left by a couple of meters, with a quick backhand attack he slaps Greenie away and plants the club down. A massive amount of mana could be felt coming from Ranzun as wind starts blowing from underneath him. Before long there was a small-scale tornado around him.

Suddenly a tinge of purple could be seen in the tornado, the color slowly spreads and the whole tornado turns into a dim purple color before slowing down. With the wind, dissipated Tank and Greenie could see the shocking sight in front of them.

Ranzun was now shorter by a full meter while his muscles looked a lot more condensed and harder compared to earlier. His skin was completely purple as white tattoos decorated his entire body. The club in his hands was full of cracks and one simple clench of the hand from Ranzun was enough to shatter it to pieces.

"Young cubs I congratulate you, you have been successful at making me angry." With a murderous expression on his face, Ranzun speaks to the two. His wounds were gone, both his arm and leg were fully healed.

Extending his hands Ranzun creates two purple-colored mana swords that were enveloped with purple flames. It was time to fight again, but compared to earlier this fight seemed to be a much deadlier one.
