The base was decimated, and the battle between the two powerful Tier II monsters continued for much longer than Reign and the others had anticipated. Neither one was letting go of the opponent and it was certain that one of them would die today.
The fox was in too deep, it just wanted to vent its anger but had in the end provoked the demon into fighting a life-and-death battle against it. As for Arash, after what happened to his base, there was no way he would let the fox go, it needed to die in order to calm his anger.
The demons that were in the base had now fled it. Many had died thanks to the chaos and destruction that the two powerful monsters caused during their battle.
Even Reign and the others had to calm themselves down and lay low, contrary to their previous belief that the two would soon tire out and get injured, leading to them being able to attack and finish them off.
Arash had one of his horns broken while his third eye was almost completely blinded after the fox managed to slash across it. He wouldn't be able to use it for weeks after this battle since it would need a lot of time to heal up.
The two spikes that protruded out of his shoulders were both broken while the blade coming out of his left elbow was gone as well.
His spear was in bad condition as well, the tip was bent and the shaft of the spear had cracked in some places.
The powerful body of the Tier II demon was full of cuts and burns, but he was still standing strong and staring at the fox with hatred.
As for the fox, the blue flames around its mouth and feet were almost fully extinguished, there were some nails that were gone and its fur was drenched in blood as multiple stab wounds and cuts were present on its body.
Half of its left ear was gone and even a fang got broken after the fox was forced to defend against Arash.
The two were exhausted, their mana was low and they couldn't fight for much longer. Both knew that it was time to end the battle, they had previously gone all out and after about 2 or 3 more attacks they would be fully spent.
Their transformation was also about to end and after that, the fox would be the one that would be in more danger since it was alone in enemy territory right now.
Most of the demons had died, and the remaining ones had fled from the base while only a small minority were present nearby. Even though they couldn't really join in the battle and help Arash, the demons could at least kill the fox if their leader was to lose.
The two stared at each other while slowly moving in a circle. Both understood that this would be it, the final moments of their battle and the conclusion.
The fox bared its fang as it stared at Arash who was pointing his spear at it. The spear was almost broken, but it would last for an attack or two.
Both of them started channeling all the mana they had left for one final attack. There was no need to conserve mana at this point since both of them were incredibly low on mana right now anyway.
The two took a deep breath before moving. They charged at one another and initiated an attack each, before suddenly opening their eyes wide and stopping their attacks and redirecting them.
Suddenly seven powerful auras appeared around them, none of the seven had an aura that was comparable to theirs, but in the state they were in, any one of the seven was powerful enough to threaten their life.
Lightning flickered through the sky, fire rose around the two while shadows sprung up around them as if they were alive.
Reign and the others had finally attacked.
The two monsters were now much weaker than before and it was no longer an issue for them to join the battle.
They had gone all out, and none of them held back anything as they used every single skill and boost they had in order to attack the two with everything they got.
Reign was falling down from the sky while holding his two swords before slashing at the two monsters with all of his might.
Tank used his axe to deliver a powerful slash at Arash while Beast who had fused with Blackie held his bow and launched a giant arrow that was aimed at the fox.
Wolf jumped up with a giant sword of flames before slashing at the two while Shadow appeared behind Arash and quickly stabbed the demon in the side.
Laura had transformed her hand and punched a pentagram in front of her as a beam of purple energy was sent at the fox while Greenie, in his Vajra form, was smashing down at the two with his hammer.
The two Tier II monsters were suddenly put in a dangerous position. They couldn't block all the attacks since they were coming at them from all directions.
The fox couldn't even use its speed in order to evade the attacks since Shadow's vines and Wolf's flames had surrounded the completely.
Jumping over them was another impossibility as Wolf, Reign, and Greenie were attacking from above.
The attack was planned perfectly and Reign and the others left no openings for the two monsters to explore in order to get out of the situation easily.
The two demons grit their teeth before attacking Reign and the others in hopes of at least blocking a large enough portion of attacks so that they wouldn't be seriously injured.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion took place in the base as the attacks all landed on Arash and the fox.
The ground trembled as the demons stared apprehensively at their base. They were hoping that Arash would win and take down the fox, completely unaware that a third party had interfered and attacked both.
Before the demons had any time to even think of what happened, another explosion took place, and then another, and another.
Reign and the others didn't even wait for the dust to settle before they launched more attacks. Each of them sent their strongest long-range attacks and bombarded the place where Arash and the fox were located at.
They weren't planning on giving the two any time to rest and collect themselves.
They had seen just how powerful Arash and the fox were, and even though they could no longer fight the same way they did before, they were not going to take any chances and let them have any opportunity to attack them.
Reign sent a spear of lightning one after another with his left hand while holding onto one with his right and continuously channeling mana into it to make it more powerful.
Wolf hurled fireballs, Laura made more pentagrams that would shoot out purple beams that would explode upon impact, and Beast launched arrow after arrow as he channeled as much mana as he could in order to make them larger and more powerful.
Shadow used his shadow manipulation to its fullest as he summoned shadow vines and pikes from below the two monsters, Tank used the skills he had learned from the spirit of the deceased emperor and attacked without stopping while Greenie had learned how to use his [ Gravity Strike ] as a long-range attack and was throwing the balls of energy down at the monsters without stopping.
Compared to its power when Greenie would use it on his fist or hammer, the [ Gravity Strike ] wasn't as powerful when thrown by itself, and neither did it last for long, but by sending out as many as he could, Greenie would offset the weakness by using quantity.
The bombardment lasted for about 2 minutes straight. Reign and the others were panting heavily as they stopped attacking and got ready for a final attack.
The ground where Arash and the fox had been standing at had multiple large cracks on it, the area about 70 meters around them was completely destroyed and it was hard to imagine anyone surviving such a thing, but when it came to Tier II monsters, one could never be certain.
Everybody got ready to charge in and attack the two again, but their caution turned out to be not necessary. As the dust settled, they were able to see the two monsters.
The fox was lying on the ground, its body mutilated by the constant attacks of Reign and the others. Multiple long cuts and tears could be seen on its body as even its guts had spilled out, only to be blown to smithereens by the bombardment.
Arash fared no better, he was still alive, but barely.
He was lying on the ground, his breath barely noticeable and his body mangled.
His right arm was gone, it was turned to mush by the attacks while his upper and lower body were no longer connected as they were cut apart by the attacks.
Half of his head was gone and one could still see bits and pieces of his legs around the place.
Reign and the others had won.
