Is this really a Game?!-Chapter 492 Fighting The Tier III Demons
The whip cracked through the air as the demoness attacked Greenie and Tank who quickly kicked the shield and jumped back, avoiding the attack that left deep marks on a nearby building.
The whip sizzled as it became bright orange, signifying just how hot it was.
Greenie and Tank stared at the demoness who was obviously stronger than they were, but there was no fear on their faces, only excitement.
There were only 4 demons left inside the base, which meant that they would all need to face 2 enemies each.
Unfortunately, it seemed that that one was the only demon that was low-leveled, the others were all mid-leveled Tier III beings, which was not all that good for Reign and the others.
Previously, when they were Tier II, each level up would give them 20 stat points, now, at Tier III, each level up was an increase of 25 points.
Each level was not a small difference, and although Reign and the others could fight against enemies that were higher in level compared to them, a difference of about 40 levels was a large one.
Forty levels meant 1 000 stat points, and although Reign and the others had a lot of points now that they were Tier III, such a difference was anything but negligible to them.
Wolf took on a demon that fought with a giant axe as Laura used her long-range abilities to help him out.
Shadow and Blackie were fighting against a demon that used a dagger and a buckler, a weird combination, but an effective one as the demon was able to dodge, block and even parry their attacks thanks to his longer-than-normal dagger that was curved and looked like a snake that was moving.
The dagger had a weird purple liquid that was spilling out of it and falling down on the ground. The liquid would make the ground smoke and it would corrode it and eat it away.
Shadow knew that he was under no circumstances allowed to be hit by the dagger as it would spell great danger to him.
As for Reign, he was teaming up with Beast who was giving him long-range support with his arrows.
The enemy in front of them was 2.5 meters tall, had giant horns that came out of its head, and pale, ashy skin that had cracks that shined with a pale blue light.
The giant demon wielded a huge shield and hammer, while his body was covered in a thick black suit of armor. The armor was very thick and heavy, but it left many gaps in the body. None of the gaps were vital areas, but it was still weird to see such armor.
Usually, heavy armor such as this one covered the whole body and allowed the wearer to fight without needing to worry about getting injured. Even though it would slow the wearer down and cost more energy to simply move, it was worth it thanks to the great defense it offered.
This one, however, had all the drawbacks of such armor, but seemingly had none of the advantages it brought.
It was heavy, thick, and didn't cover the entire body and left the demon open for attacks.
Reign attacked and used his superior speed in order to get an advantage.
Thanks to the giant shield and armor the demon wore, he was much slower than Reign and couldn't keep up.
Reign was able to easily cut and stab through the gaps of the armor and draw blood out, but he felt as if something was missing each time he landed an attack.
The demon was seemingly unbothered by his attacks.
Even when Reign stabbed his sword deep inside the demon, it didn't even grunt or show any emotion, on the contrary, it simply continued attacking Reign.
The hammer fell down and Reign was forced to pull his sword out and step to the side in order to evade it. The hammer hit the ground, and the area shook from the powerful attack.
The place where the hammer had hit exploded as the ground caved in by about 3cm.
It might not seem like a lot, but the ground was hard rock from the mountain, and it was incredibly durable and hard to damage.
A single swing of the hammer was enough to deal so much damage, that alone spoke volumes of the demon's power.
Reign didn't react, the attack had managed to shake the ground and even he was thrown off balance for a moment, but the demon was unable to capitalize.
It attempted to use its shield and swung at Reign, only for the latter to jump over the shield and kick it in order to get higher and attack the demon from above.
This time, there was a response.
The demon was seemingly quite concerned about his head being injured and quickly stomped the ground and jumped to the front.
As soon as it did that, a couple of arrows arrived at him. The moment the demon stopped, 3 arrows appeared next to his head.
The monster roared and brought his shield up, blocking the arrows.
More came, however, and this time, he was unable to block.
Three arrows hit his left leg, 1 piercing his foot, while the other 2 hit the shin, and bounced off.
Reign also moved.
He was unable to attack immediately as he was in the air, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he disappeared from the spot as a trail of lightning followed him.
He appeared behind the giant demon and delivered a couple of cuts.
The cuts weren't deep as the thick skin of the demon offered very good protection. Perhaps that was the reason why the armor the demon wore was like that, maybe it was confident that his own body was powerful enough to defend him against any threat and decided to use an armor that only had more flexibility when it came to movement as an advantage.
The demon grunted after being struck and suddenly kicked the ground and jumped back a bit.
The movement was enough for the demon to hit Reign, and the hit was nothing to scoff at.
Reign was not only pushed back, but the power behind the demon's move was enough to shake up his insides.
A thin trail of blood escaped his mouth as he stared at the back of the demon still using his giant shield to defend against Beast's arrows.
Reign suddenly brought out a spear from the inventory and assumed a position before throwing it at the demon's head with all of his might.
His lightning coiled around the spear and it broke through the sound barrier as it arrived behind the head.
It connected.
But it did nothing.
It was as if the spear had hit a steel wall as the sound of metal colliding against metal sounded out and it simply bounced off the demon's head.
The demon quickly dropped his hammer and held the back of his head before turning around and staring at Reign.
Beast's arrows never stopped coming and they soon started being embedded in the demon's back, but it didn't care.
The cracks on his skin started shining as the demon grabbed the hammer and attacked Reign.
This time, it was faster. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎
It was still too slow to hit Reign though and he quickly dodged the attack before slashing the demon again.
Beast's arrows suddenly stopped coming as the latter was starting to use his skills in order to deliver fiercer blows to the demon.
The array had been activated, but thanks to Laura and Beast, the totems were gone and it was barely able to help the demons out.
At full power, the array would strengthen the demons while it would weaken the enemies, but without the totems, the array was unable to weaken anybody, while it only strengthened the demons by a little bit.
The more attacks that Beast and Reign landed on the demon, however, the stronger the blue light coming from the cracks on his skin became.
The demon was becoming more powerful and faster as more wounds piled up, which made the two believe that it had some sort of Berserker class that empowered it the more it was damaged.
That wasn't very good news for Reign, but he figured that he could simply use a couple of big attacks after the demon was injured enough and finish it off.
That plan was scrapped thanks to what happened next.
The blue light coming from the cracks disappeared as the demon suddenly stopped moving.
He stared at Reign with a wide, bloodthirsty smile before his mana erupted. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
Blue light covered his body as the armor he wore started falling down from his body.
Below it, Reign and Beast could see that it was wearing another suit of armor, something they didn't know was even possible.
The cracks closed as the gaps between the armor were suddenly filled with blue mana before another change occurred.
The light fused with the armor, and the demon suddenly had a brand new suit of armor on him, while his aura had grown more powerful.
It suddenly moved, and his speed was almost the same as Reign's. The hammer fell, and Reign was barely able to dodge but was sent flying back by the shockwave that came after the attack.
