Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 136 The Second Trial Slowly Ends ( Final Part )



The elite troop arrives at the back of the army. With force, they push their way through the retreating soldiers. Wolf and the others don't even take notice of them, they were still far away from them and would need more time to get to them. Wolf commands his troops to slowly make their way towards the allied forces while slaughtering the soldiers around them. His flames were blazing high in the air as each swing of his greatsword either killed or heavily wounded multiple soldiers.

His power was overwhelming compared to others, only the captain of the general's private troop had a chance of matching him. The enemy was coming towards them, but so were their allies. The old general Wolf had previously saved was together with the other higher-ranking officers at the back of the army. He knew of Wolf's plan and he had immediately ordered his own private troops to speed towards them. The allied army was making its way towards Wolf in an attempt to regroup quickly before jointly continuing the battle.

The general's private troop was amongst them, led by their captain who looked towards Wolf with eyes of admiration and respect, he was unable to help his army and general previously as they were separated during the loss they had previously suffered. He already thought of the worst outcome but was surprised to find out that not only was the general but many of the other high-ranking officers were saved by this man. Many of the enemy outposts and officers were also eliminated by him.

Wolf already had a nickname on both sides. The allied forces called him the Herald of Fire as his flames were seen by many and the charred corpses littered the outposts he had destroyed. To the enemy army, he was no herald however, he was a demon that slaughtered and burned many of them. The Soldier from Hell they called him, no one knew how or when the story started but many of the soldiers now believed that Wolf was a fallen soldier of the enemy side. He crawled his way out of Hell itself as he used the fire to burn all of his enemies.

Wolf and the others slowly moved to join forces with the others before the enemy's elite troop arrives, Wolf knew it would be hard for his men to fight against them as each soldier was much stronger than them and could fight 3 or more at the same time. It was of great importance they join with their own elite troop, then during the clash Wolf would go with the other 4 elites towards the general. He was using his flames all this time and it looked like he was just recklessly spending his mana, but the truth was that the flames didn't really cost him that much mana as he hasn't used any skills except at the beginning.

He wasn't at his top shape, but he wasn't that far from it. Finally, they were able to carve a way towards their elites, just in time before the enemy elites arrived. The two forces pass each other as Wolf leaves his men while joining together with the captain, the two give each other a look before simply nodding, there was no need for words between two warriors on the battlefield as they both knew to trust the other.

The enemy elites arrive and hell breaks loose as they clash. The many elites all used their mana and skills as they attacked each other. Nearby soldiers were being massacred as even a glancing blow was enough to claim their life. Wolf suddenly jumps up in the air as the captain rises his shield above his head, he stands on top of the shield before crouching down. With full force the general swings his shield while Wolf flies high in the air before plunging down in the middle of the elite troop. The enemy captain looks at him with shock but was blocked from going back by the allied captain.

A huge trail of fire was left from Wolf as he was falling down, the elite soldiers were looking up without fear as they prepare to attack him before he even lands. Fire burns brightly on his sword as he suddenly stabs the now 3-meter tall flaming sword in the ground. The nearby area erupts in flames as an explosion happens.

Sword of Flames

Wolf immediately used the explosion feature of his skill as the nearby elites were all blown away. His four elites used the explosion to their advantage as they joined him shortly. They all charged towards the general as they carved a way through the army. Soon most of the soldiers were not even trying to attack them as fear overtook their bodies. Soon they managed to charge out of the army while continuing forward towards the general who was looking at them with a grave expression on his face.

He ignored the pleas of his officers and aides as he had already made peace with death. The defeat was almost certain, they had no soldiers that could reinforce them and the mere sight of the Soldier of Hell was enough to plunge fear into the hearts of soldiers. He patiently waited for Wolf to arrive as some of his officers and aides start running away in an attempt to save themselves.

Wolf was already tired when he reached the general, he expected a strong resistance when arriving there but he was surprised when there was barely any. Only 3 people were with the general as they start fighting against his four elites, the elites were of course stronger and they quickly gained the upper hand. Wolf walks towards the general who was looking at him with a calm expression on his face.

"One man, to think one man was able to change the result of this war." The general looks straight into his eyes as he sighs deeply, "End it, soldier, you have fought well and won."

Wolf looks down at the general as he nods his head respectfully towards him. A man that managed to overcome the fear of death and welcome it calmly was one worthy of respect, it was no surprise that he had managed to win against the allies previously. With one swing the general's head was cut off as Wolf turned around to look at the battlefield. Seeing their leader dead a big part of the enemy army started to flee while even the elites had a look of disbelief on their faces. Wolf had finished his trial and soon he was teleported out of the battlefield.

Bam!

The enemy Colonel was smashed down on the ground as his battered body was riddled with wounds. With a mighty swing, Tank brings his shield down on him before stomping on his head with full force. Cracks form on the ground as the Colonel's head bursts apart as a watermelon, a mixture of blood and brain matter flow out everywhere.

Looking around the castle Tank found his four captains who were fighting a hard battle against the enemy captains. They were all locked into a stalemate as they fought fiercely, of course with the death of their Colonel the stalemate was broken as Tank immediately charged towards the nearest one. Donovan jumps back as he hears Tank's shout from behind him, right away a battered and tired Tank was swinging his scythe towards the captain as the man barely blocks the blow.

With the two of them fighting together the enemy captain was soon dealt with. They go to help the others before returning to the front wall of the castle. The situation was dire as the enemy had already managed to gain a foothold on the top of the wall. More and more soldiers were coming on the top of the wall via a siege tower while Tank's soldiers were giving it their all to block them. A small amount of time was left for the reinforcements to arrive and Tank couldn't let the enemy get closer to victory. Another battering ram was hitting the gate hard while a second siege tower was near the other part of the wall. He orders his captains to help the soldiers of that part of the wall while he charges towards the siege tower.

Another Colonel was present there, he was slaughtering all soldiers that came close. Upon seeing Tank he narrowed his eyes, he knew that a Colonel was sent to deal with him, but it seems that he had failed.

Tank gets on top of the wall as he stares at the Colonel.

"Another one, sorry to disappoint you, but I don't have enough time left to fight you guys, so I will be dealing with this quickly." Tank's scythe shines brightly as his body gains immense strength, his mark doesn't activate this time and his body stays the same, it was a good thing as he really didn't want to explain to his soldiers why he grew taller, changed skin color and had freaking horns.

The enemy Colonel widens his eyes as he was able to feel the immense strength Tank had now. Before he could do anything however Tank was already in front of him, with one swing of his scythe the man was blown back while his weapon was cracked. With another swing, the sword of the Colonel was broken in half and he was injured. The third swing cut him in half while simultaneously destroying the siege tower.

Tank continues his rampage as he breaks the siege tower in pieces before destroying the battering ram. The other siege tower was a bit further away and it was risky to go all the way there, as his power could run out at any moment. Gritting his teeth Tank charges towards it, he was going to be weakened after using his scythe's skill and he didn't want to take any chances.

Tank was correct to do so as another Colonel was at the siege tower. Quickly Tank destroys the tower while heavily wounding the Colonel who was able to escape in the end. Tank arrives at the wall as his soldiers look at him with awe, the enemy had stopped attacking as the actions he had now done was many times more shocking compared to before.

A man had single-handedly gone through their army, killed a Colonel, heavily injured another, and destroyed 2 siege towers and a battering ram while they were all hopeless to stop him. Quickly Tank goes down and enters his quarter where he suddenly collapses on the floor. He was incredibly tired and even moving was difficult right now, his captains go inside after him and help him get up, they knew how strong he was and what drawbacks his skill had as well.

They made sure he was alright before going out to fight again, they had to show a strong front and not let the enemy realize that their strongest fighter was currently not fit for fighting.

A couple of hours pass by and the enemy was barely trying anymore as most of the army had started retreating, they had suffered heavy losses and the reinforcements were near, they had lost this fight. In a mere 30 minutes the reinforcements had arrived and Tank was teleported out of the castle. The second trial had finally ended for all of them.
