Is this really a Game?!

"Am I really so unlucky, am I really destined to simply lose everything again?" Aethion smiles bitterly as he looks towards Reign. Even if they had a normal light user he would be able to fight against them as light users usually didn't have strong offensive capabilities, but to come across someone with a light and lightning dual ability, it was simply too inconceivable.

"So be it, but I won't just die without fighting back!" Aethion shouts as his eyes redden in anger. He opens his palm towards the elite that was dying next to Reign as he utters "Corpse Explosion."

The corpse suddenly combusts before violently exploding. Reign was caught off guard by the skill and gets hit by the blast from the side. The mini-boss takes advantage of that as it swings at him with violent force. Reign manages to block the hit with his sword before being launched backward by the hit.

Corpse explosion was one of the favorite skills of necromancers as it was easy and efficient to use in battle. Aethion however rarely used it as his revival tactic was more than enough to defeat his enemies usually, not to mention that he couldn't revive the troops that explode. He previously didn't use it against Reign and the others as there was no need, his enemies were being forced back by his undead and victory seemed to be a given.

"Tch, I can't use those now." Aethion clicks his tongue in frustration as he looks at the hundreds of corpses that littered the field. He had cut off his connection with those undead as he couldn't waste mana on them before using the Death Dominion. Now the corpses were of great importance to him but he couldn't get the connection back while the Death Dominion was active, he needed to have physical contact to do so, or at the least, his undead needed to.

The elites fighting against Wolf and the others suddenly break off from the engagement as they charge towards the corpses while the others looked confused by their actions.

"Block them, he wants to use the corpses to attack us!" Reign suddenly shouts as he charges towards the elites. His left arm and ribs were bruised by the previous attack from the mini-boss and he could feel slight pain when breathing, there was a possibility that the mini-boss managed to fracture his ribs.

His right side was charred from the blast previously and some of his hair was burned. His right arm was also burned as it was completely red and moving it was painful for Reign, not enough to stop him from fighting, however.

"What, damn it." Tank and the others immediately charge towards the elites as they try to block them. Shadow uses his shadow bind skill again as he manages to stop 3 elites from moving, that was his current limit.

"Pin them down, I can kill them permanently with my white lightning!" Reign shouts again as he charges at the front of the group. Blackie managed to jump on the back of an elite zombie and pin him down on the ground. He quickly jumps back and lets Fluffy hold him down for a moment as the green flames damaged him.

Reign immediately got to the elite and slashed down at it. The zombie managed to use his arms to block the hit, surprisingly the katana was not strong enough to cut them off in one hit. Reign chops and slashes away at the enemy as smoke was coming out of the body while the zombie was screaming painfully.

Finally, Reign had managed to pierce through the zombie's throat as it suddenly slows down his movement before stopping them altogether. Reign immediately jumps back as he didn't want to be caught in the explosion again. Before he could relax however he could finally hear the shouts of the others behind him.

"Reign!"

"Dodge for fcks sake!"

Reign looks in front of him as a corpse was right in front of him. The mini-boss had managed to get to the corpses and launched one straight towards him. Reign quickly turns around and tries to run away from the corpse, but it suddenly explodes and throws him back.

He quickly gets back up before running towards the others. His back felt incredibly hot as the metal from his armor was heated up by the flames. He coughed violently as he ran back to the others while corpses were being thrown at him. He managed to dodge some while the others were destroyed by Beast and the others before they could reach him, Laura was already healing him from a distance as his right arm was starting to feel itchy from it.

As he gets to the group he quickly turns around, all the elites and the mini-boss were some 30 meters away from them, each of them was grabbing corpses while their green fire was being infused in them before they throw them towards them.

They tried their best to destroy the bodies, but there were simply too many to completely destroy and they fell all around them. Everyone gave it their all to dodge and attack but the never-ending bombardment was slowly starting to overwhelm them.

"Hehehehe, so what if you have a light user, you're still defenseless against my undead." Aethion laughs gleefully as he looks towards Reign, he had gone back to hiding inside the bones, only that this time it wasn't a wall, but a bone sphere that was thicker and would provide him more defense.

"Let me!" Tank suddenly steps in front of the group as tens of corpses were falling down on them. He looks at the corpses with a serious gaze before showing a slight smile on his face.

"It has been long since I used this." He crosses his arms in front of him as the others focus on destroying the corpses that were furthest from him. Right after the corpses combust he opens up his arms.

"Deflect."

An invisible force was suddenly sent out from Tank. About half of the corpses that were falling down on them were thrown back to the elites and exploded right in front of them. Reign uses the opportunity and immediately charges back to kill the three elites that were being bound by Shadow.

He makes quick work of them before returning to the group. Shadow had completely immobilized them and as such killing them was incredibly easy. Before Aethion was able to even use his corpse explosion Reign was back to the group as they were all charging towards the elites.

The blast from over 10 corpses managed to push them all back and they weren't going to waste such an opportunity. The mini-boss had barely been damaged by the explosions and he quickly went back to grabbing and throwing the corpses at them. The 15 elites were slowly climbing up from the ground, the other positive of the explosions was that the blast managed to push back the corpses a bit as well.

The injured elites found it hard to throw the corpses as efficiently as before with their damaged bodies. Reign had used his lightning charge and stab combo to get in front of one of them with devastating speed before piercing through its chest. The white lightning lance punctures a big hole through the elite as it falls down on the ground heavily.

Reign quickly jumps back as he yells out "Tank!"

Tank had used his scythe's skill as he slashes in a wide motion in front of him. The others had all ducked as he had previously instructed.

"Reaping."

​ A huge green light suddenly flashed in a semicircular motion as the elites all stopped while the mini-boss was sent flying back. The elites all suddenly start moving, well, their upper bodies move as they were all neatly cut in half.

"What?!" Aethion widens his eyes in disbelief as he looks at his defeated undead. Before they could regenerate Reign was already there, slashing them apart with his swords. Soon the elites were back to normal, but Reign had already managed to kill 7 of them in that time, adding the one he killed previously there were now only 7 left.

Aethion simply looked at the battle with shock in his eyes. It was finished, his undead lay motionlessly on the ground as the others battled the mini-boss.

Reign and Tank were coming towards him, ready to finally end this battle. Aethion starts saying incomprehensible words as he joins his palms together. Right after finishing his weird prayer, he opens his eyes as the sphere surrounding him had been cut in half together with his body. Reign quickly pierces through his skull before running back to the mini-boss.

"Dammit, the big guy is still moving!" He shouts furiously while Tank follows after him. Something was wrong, he could feel it.

In just a couple of seconds, they arrived at the others and helped them deal with the mini-boss. The giant finally falls down as Reign decapitates him, still, there was no notification about the end of the battle.

Tank was panting hard as his skill had run out. The others all looked around, hoping to find Aethion somewhere, but they were unlucky with their search.

"Where could he be?" Reign murmurs as he stands in front of the giant mini-boss he had just slain. He turns around as he looks at the others expectantly, they all shake their heads however as they were unable to find the necromancer as well.

"It's like he-" Shadow stops his words as he widens his eyes at Reign, everyone did the same as they stood frozen by shock.

Reign coughed out blood as a bone spear was sticking out of his chest. He turns his head around as he looks at Aethion who had just come out of the mini-boss. The old man had a ferocious smile on his face as he let go of the spear
