Is this really a Game?!

After slightly over a week of nothing, the corruption had returned.

But not like before.

In the past, there would be one or two sources of corruption that would give birth to a couple of corrupted areas.

Gabriel would be able to feel the main corrupted area that was placed first and in charge of dividing the corruption that was coming to the jungle and spreading it to form more corrupted areas.

It was relatively simple, and it was easy to stop it, one would have to start attacking the main area, which would defend itself, using the corruption to do so and slowing down the creation of corrupted areas significantly.

Destroying the source would make the main area weaker and weaker until finally, it would just run out of power, or be destroyed by the opponent.

Well now, the issue was the fact that Gabriel had already sensed 5 such main areas, and the number was still on the rise.

"I can sense more and more corruption making its way to the jungle … this … this has never happened before," Gabriel said with apprehension as he stared at Reign and the others.

"I haven't been able to sense it before, the corruption before it would get in the jungle, but now, I can clearly sense it making its way here, there's just so much of it, it's just so powerful."

"I … I don't know what to do, you … you won't be able to take it all down on time!"

"Calm down for god's sake." Reign said as he walked toward Gabriel.

"Tell us where the corrupted areas are, all of the main ones."

"Beast, send a message back in Doncaster and Wilkashere, all the Tier V combatants present are to come to the jungle, I will give them authorization to use the portal and come right over here, I don't believe Gabriel would mind it."

"I don't mind." Gabriel quickly said as he continued staring around, his face showing the concern he had.

"The other humans are on the move as well, one of the main corrupted areas has appeared near their base, they are already fighting against it."

"So the Enclave is also fighting, that's good, we'll need all the help we can get."

"Hey, what about the places, the ones where the mana surges are, has the corruption attempted to take over any of them?"

"No, at least not yet." Gabriel shook his head before sighing.

"But I doubt that will continue for long, the places with mana surges are perfect for them to use and create the Spawns, and if they manage to create multiple spawns and attack us, we won't be able to survive."

Reign and the others sighed and nodded their heads.

If they were attacked by over 2 Spawns, then surviving would indeed be very difficult without Reign transforming.

"We got the message." The portal suddenly activated as Cameron came out of it, followed by Lea, Ronny, and the rest of their team. Neil's team, Elijah's team, and many more soon arrived, getting ready to join the battle.

"Gabriel will give you more details, but just remember, your job is to get rid of the corrupted areas, don't leave the jungle, we will take care of the sources." Reign said before he and the others quickly moved.

"We gotta hurry up, one of the main areas isn't that far away!" Reign shouted as Beast nodded before summoning his wyvern.

Not all of them could fit on its back, but it was still large enough for 5 people to sit on its back while it flew.

Beast, Wolf, Reign, Shadow, and Laura went with the wyvern so that they could reach the sources of corruption outside of the jungle faster while the rest made their way to the main corrupted area in order to slow the corruption down and perhaps even destroy it ahead of time.

The entire jungle soon became embroiled in battle as even some monsters started attacking the corrupted areas in order to make them disappear.

The corruption was bad for everything and everybody, monsters included, thus they really didn't like it either.

The main corrupted areas were massive, larger than the one Wolf and the others had destroyed the last time. They were pulsating with dark energy, emitting an eerie glow that cast long shadows over the jungle.

As the groups from Doncaster approached one of the main corrupted areas, they could feel the malevolent energy emanating from it, causing a sense of unease to settle in their hearts.

This was the first time any of the groups had gone up against such an area, but Reign and the others had already done their calculations, and even though it would be difficult, the groups could indeed win without losing people.

It would be difficult, they would need to be on top of their game and make sure to fight with everything they got, but still make sure that they were a bit careful, but it could be done.

Tank, Greenie, Mia, and Aelrinder had also arrived at one of the main areas, and unlike the other groups, they didn't wait or anything, they just charged forward and attacked the main core that was in the middle of the area and was continuously receiving and then spreading out corruption.

As for Reign and the others, they were getting lower and lower as the wyvern was lowering itself, and they continuously stared at the source of corruption near them.

They didn't need to rely on Greenie's gloves or Reign great mana and aura sensitivity to follow the trail and find the source any longer.

Thanks to destroying the spawn, they had all gotten the title, and the title was more than enough to make them all sensitive to corruption, which meant that locating the sources was many times easier for them now.

"Any traces of anybody there?" Shadow asked as both Reign and Wolf were staring with their faces showing determination.

"No other auras in a radius of a couple of hundred meters around here." Reign said with a dark expression as they landed, after which Wolf immediately moved, getting closer to the source and looking around it.

Beast let his wyvern fly up and circle around a bit as he used their connection to see with its eyes, which were much better than the eyes of a human, even the eyes of a human that were in the same realm as the wyvern was.

As for Reign, he only had one thing to do here, destroy the source.

It turned out that what happened the last time was not the complete truth. The source was indeed weak to light and feared it, but other attacks worked as well, it was just that one wouldn't be able to see the damage before the source was at a critical point.

They knew that because of what Greenie did the last time.

He grabbed his hammer and started swinging it and hitting the source with everything he had, and even though it seemed futile and useless, he didn't stop, thanks to that, they were able to see the damage that the source had taken and then destroy it.

Of course, Reign wasn't going to do such a thing.

He was capable of destroying the source much faster and easier, and that was what he was going to do right away.

Reign walked over to the source, his swords slowly starting to shine a brilliant white light. Even though it was not attacked, the source was visibly getting nervous, the hole was shaking and the voices from the other side were not as frequent as they had been mere moments ago.

Reign lunged, appearing in front of the source right away before stabbing down with both of his swords.

The corruption was quickly manipulated by the source, creating a shield in front of it, but it would not be enough as the two swords stabbed through the shield with relative ease before continuing down and stabbing into the hole.

Reign then exhaled before pouring his mana into the swords, increasing the brightness of the light and the intensity it brought with it. The hole started shaking, and shaking, and shaking until the corruption was completely gone.

Reign took out his swords, glanced down at the hole, and grimaced.

It was now just a regular hole, but that … that was not quite good for them.

The runes and symbols, Reign's light had almost completely destroyed them, only some small traces remained.

"Dammit!"

"It's fine, there's more sources to take down, more runes and symbols to copy, just make sure to lower the intensity a bit the next time, stop before the source is completely destroyed, and everything should be fine," Beast said from the side as he stood up.

"There's nobody around that I was able to see."

"Tch, they have escaped quickly once again." Reign said as they all moved toward the wyvern while Wolf looked around with slight suspicion.

"Hey, you got something?" Reign asked Wolf who shook his head.

"Not quite, I'll have to see one or two more such places first."
