Is this really a Game?!

The incredible mana that was being released by the king made the whole battlefield change. The intense pressure he gave off was enough to make the defensive army feel fear. The pressure that they could feel now made their movement a bit sluggish and some even fell down to their knees. The incredible power a first evolution combatant could explode with after using all of their power and a rank S weapon skill was beyond anything they had imagined.

Even Reign stared at the king whose aura had completely changed, his medium-length gray hair had grown a bit longer as it danced wildly in the air from the powerful wind that was blowing around him. With incredible speed, the king disappeared from sight before appearing in front of the Judge who immediately used his ability to create a thick shield in front of him.

Bang!

The shield collapsed immediately after taking a punch from the king who immediately pulled his fist back for another punch. Thick chains appeared around the king as he simply snorted in response before punching the Judge who was forced to use his ability to create thick gloves that covered his healthy arm before using it to block the attack.

The gloves were broken, the layer of purple mana around his arm was also scattered and the Judge was blown away. Both of his arms hurt like hell, luckily his healthy arm wasn\'t broken like the other one, but the pain he felt from it was big.

The chains he had summoned in order to bind the king before he could continue his rampage were all broken with relative ease before the king simply started walking toward him. Even though they were almost equal in power before, after using the weapon skill, the king was much stronger and there was nothing that the Judge could now do in order to defeat him.

[ Mana Release ]

[ Undying Breath of Sojka ]

[ Array, 98% power ]

The Judge\'s body suddenly started shining with incredible splendor. The mana around him suddenly rose to a much higher level compared to before as he had used the utmost of his ability, weapon and armor skill, and the power of the array.

Even though his power was still not the same as the king\'s as he simply didn\'t have a rank S item, it was not far from it. The ground beneath the wall was returned to how it previously was, but Lieara and the others were still being boosted by the array as that was the 2% of the array\'s power that the Judge wasn\'t currently using.

The purple mana covering the Judge changed to black as a dark aura covered the battlefield. Thousands of dead soldiers that were killed here and used to power the array appeared around the Judge, to be more exact, their souls appeared around him. Each of them was filled with vengeance and the desire to rip apart those that didn\'t allow them peace, the dark reality however was that they were powerless, the array manipulated them and changed their memory.

In their head, they all looked at the king and the army of Older as the enemy, as the ones that had previously killed them. Suddenly all of them charged at the king while the Judge stayed behind and started drawing weird symbols in the air. The symbols were created with the help of his ability and were golden at first, but soon the power of the array corroded even that and turned them black.

The king fought against the souls, even though they didn\'t have a physical body, the power of his weapon skill allowed him to beat everything up, ghost or not. The dark red mana was blasted around the battlefield with each punch and kick from the king, it was obvious that the souls wouldn\'t last long against him, even if there was over 100 000 of them, it would still be for naught.

The Judge didn\'t need them to injure the king however, he simply needed some time to finish what he was doing and attack the king. As they fought, however, the other battles also resumed, Lieara fought bravely against the enemy general who had seen the situation behind him, even though their king had used everything, it seemed that the Judge was still able to stand against him.

Gritting his teeth, the general went all out as he wanted to take Lieara out, every single ounce of mana and strength he had was drawn out as he battled ferociously against her.

Reign and the three also resumed their battle, after seeing their king go all out in his battle the three decided to do the same. As Reign was now, it would be almost impossible for them to kill him and they knew they needed to use more power. Both Idrel and Gardo activated their weapon skills as their mana skyrocketed. The power they were now releasing was double of what they previously had, not only was their mana more condensed and strengthened but their physical attributes were also increased.

Idrel\'s staff had become a bit longer and it was now covered in golden lines, not only did the staff have a holy aura to it, but it was evident that it was now more durable as the gold that covered it felt incredibly tough.

Gardo\'s hammer became larger and one side was now spiked. The hammer was previously about 1.7 meters long, but now it was 2.3 meters. Not only was it longer, but the handle and the rest of the hammer also became thicker and wider as well. Dark gray lines could be seen flowing through the hammer as a gray hue covered the hammerhead.

Luin grit his teeth as he used some of his souls in order to strengthen himself physically before using tens of them to attack Reign. Even though he knew that the effect that the souls would have would be minimal, it was still worth at least trying to bother Reign for a moment.

The skill that allowed him to sacrifice souls in order to strengthen his body was one that he didn\'t like using. It didn\'t have a side-effect for him personally, but the souls that would be used for the activation of the skill would be gone as they were used as fuel to power his body. Most of the time, Luin would barely lose any souls when fighting against someone as they could come back from the enemy\'s psyche at any moment.

Even though Luin had hundreds if not even above a thousand souls he still didn\'t feel good any time he had to sacrifice them like this. Right now he had sacrificed over a hundred souls in order to strengthen himself, even though the boost was great, he felt bad from sacrificing the souls as the negative feelings the sacrifice brought were able to influence his mental state a bit.

Reign knew that the battle now approached a climax, not only his battle but the battle between the king and the Judge and the one happening at the top of the wall. Reign quickly activated his broken sword, the splendid glow coming from the sword lit up the surroundings. With the boost coming from the sword, Reign was confident that he would be able to fight effectively against the three, not to mention that the battle between the Judge and the king was slowly ending.

As the king managed to destroy most of the souls that the Judge had sent his way, the latter had finally finished the symbols that he was drawing. The symbols shone brightly before flying toward the king who tried to blow them away. Unfortunately for him, the attack didn\'t work at all as the symbols simply went through the attack. Before the symbols arrived at the king they suddenly stopped before going high in the sky and disappearing.

As the king was confused by the situation, something suddenly changed. The mana around him was suddenly going wild as the surrounding area suddenly changed for the king. To be more exact, the area didn\'t really change, it was the king that had suddenly found himself surrounded by ten gigantic hands that had suddenly appeared around him. Before the king could try to dodge the attack, the ground suddenly cracked before being destroyed by even more hands that were suddenly lifted up, in a matter of moments all of the gigantic hands connected as they formed a ball in the air.
