Is this really a Game?!

Shadow and Laura nodded at Wolf as the unconscious man was wrapped in mana restraining chains.

The cuffs and chains were fairly easy to make, well, they were easy for Adrian and the old elven smith, but not that easy for the players. So far, the best blacksmith of Doncaster was capable of creating Tier V mana restraining chains and cuffs, but he still had a bit to go before being able to create better ones.

Wolf grabbed the man and put him over his shoulder before nodding at Shadow and Laura. Shadow immediately waved his hand, casting a barrier of darkness around them to hide their presence and auras before they started walking back to the tunnel they came from, only to stop a mere 15 meters later.

They sensed them.

Five Tier VI combatants had appeared, and they had already surrounded them. Keep the adventure going on freewebnovel

"Apologies, but we cannot allow you to take him." A man said as he appeared from inside a nearby tree.

He was hooded as well, they all were.

"A total of six Tier VI combatants, you probably have a couple more, huh?" Wolf asked with a smirk as he let the man on his shoulders fall down on the ground.

"You know, I was quite confident that there weren't that many Tier VI combatants on Earth, after all, it's not a realm that's so easily reached by people." Wolf continued speaking as he grabbed his sword and stared at the man who had spoken to him.

"Well, what one thinks doesn't necessarily mean it is true." The man that was standing in front of the tree said as Wolf smirked.

"Your aura is greater than that of this guy and the other people with you."

"Usually, I would guess that you are at a higher level than they are, but, there's a small problem with that, you know?" Wolf said as he stared at the unfamiliar man.

"You see, these guys … they're a bit weak for Tier VI combatants."

"This guy fell down so easily, I was actually thinking he was just trying to trick us previously," Wolf said as he pointed his sword at the man in chains.

"Say, you guys wouldn't have a way to make people have a strength similar to Tier VI without them actually reaching the tier, wouldn't you?"

The hooded man slightly flinched upon hearing Wolf's words, which made Wolf's smirk deepen.

"I see, probably the corruption, huh?"

"You speak too much." The hooded man said as he suddenly moved, his figure appearing in front of Wolf in an instant.

He struck forward, attempting to punch Wolf straight in the face with the spiked gloves he had on, only to hit the flat side of Wolf's sword.

"You're a bit too impatient, your actions betray the truth, you should learn to calm down a bit," Wolf said as flames suddenly enveloped his sword, causing the man to quickly step back in order to not be burned.

Right away, Shadow appeared behind the man, teleporting from his shadow and attempting to stab him in the back, only for the hooded man to quickly do a backward somersault and dodge the blow while the other four people attacked.

The barrier of darkness that Shadow had cast was already gone, and Laura had already created a pentagram that she quickly struck in order to hit one of the four men.

A ray of demonic energy went forward, and the man took out a small shield made out of a single scale that he used to block the ray. He didn't get hurt but was pushed back in the air by about 15 meters, only stopping once he broke through a tree and then hit another, thicker tree.

The other three arrived nearly at the same moment, only for a large wall of flames to appear in front of them, stopping them for a moment as Shadow then appeared behind one and tried stabbing him in the back, but they were ready for it.

The man quickly turned and grabbed Shadow's wrist, which actually surprised Shadow as the reaction speed of the person he was about to stab was very good … a bit too good to be honest.

Even so, Shadow was able to quickly force the man to let go of him by trying to stab his wrist with the other dagger.

"Even if you outnumber us, do you really think you can take us on with these four guys?" Wolf asked the leader with a smirk before slashing forward and sending forth a large, flaming sword light at the man who suddenly took a deep breath before punching with one hand, causing the air in front of him to distort as the sword light slowed down, distorted as well, and then the flames vanished while the sword light passed next to the man.

"We shall see." The man replied before lunging forward and engaging in a melee with Wolf, occupying his attention and leaving Shadow and Laura to battle against the other four enemies.

The battlefield erupted into chaos as Wolf faced off against the hooded leader while Shadow and Laura squared off against the remaining enemies. Each member of the group fought with all their skill and determination, doing everything they could to gain the upper hand.

The enemies outnumbered them, but they had quantity, not quality over them.

Wolf clashed with the hooded leader, his flaming sword, and the leader's spiked gloves which were distorting the air around them hitting one another numerous times. The leader proved to be a formidable opponent, matching Wolf blow for blow with skill and precision.

Wolf had to admit that he didn't expect to find a person with this much strength here, the man was obviously experienced in combat, more than a usual person that had reached the realm was, but Wolf refused to back down, pressing the attack with relentless ferocity.

The four men who were fighting against Laura and Shadow were obviously of a lower rank than the man leading them. In terms of fighting capabilities, they were not as experienced as the man clashing against Wolf, nor were they as powerful.

Still, Shadow and Laura did find themselves blocking and dodging many attacks from the enemy. Even though they were more than capable enough to deal with one of them, each time they tried to, another one would appear, trying to hit them from the side while they were unaware or to push the other person to the side so that they evade an attack.

It was quite annoying, but it worked. Still, the two were slowly gaining the upper hand after getting used to the tempo of the battle.

Shadow moved with speed and agility, striking from the shadows with his twin daggers, while Laura unleashed powerful bursts of demonic energy, overwhelming any opponent that came near her with sheer force.

The enemies, as capable as they were, were simply not powerful enough to go up against them.

Even then, Wolf was worried.

If so many of them arrived so fast, wouldn't that mean that there were more enemies that would come as well?

What he feared before turned out to be true, the enemy did indeed get alerted to their presence, the only question was how far away were any other Tier VI combatants, and how many the enemy actually had.

He didn't want to find out, at least not now.

Reign could easily extract the information out of the enemy, so why risk staying here? He knew that he had to quickly get rid of the enemy in front of him and then go back to the tunnel.

'Tch, this bastard is a slippery one, and I have no idea if he is also holding back like I am, or going all out.' Wolf thought as he stared at the hooded man who he found had a mask on his face as well.

Without being able to see his face, see the facial movement, and how his eyes reacted with each blow, he couldn't be certain just how much power he was using.

Without that, it was hard to determine whether or not he should not only go out, but perhaps even use his mark to quickly end the battle.

If he used it now and it turned out that the enemy had an ace in his sleeve that could allow him to continue fighting for a while before more of them showed up, Wolf would be too tired to fight against them, and he couldn't let that happen.

'Tch, screw it, even if he has something, we can always just retreat!' Wolf said as his flames suddenly grew higher and his aura exploded, causing the hooded man to retreat and stare at him with his eyes narrowed.

"You are finally going all out, huh?"

"Well then, allow me to do the same, I've been itching for a good battle recently."

The air around the hooded man suddenly distorted as his aura grew as well, about the same as Wolf's who narrowed his eyes and clenched his sword, ready to fight a battle against an opponent he deemed to be his equal.
