The enemy leader's rage fueled his attacks, each strike becoming more desperate and vicious. He unleashed torrents of corruption, aiming to overwhelm Reign with sheer force. The head priest, sensing the danger, began chanting incantations, preparing a powerful spell to aid his leader.
Reign, however, remained calm and focused. He anticipated the leader's moves, dodging and deflecting his attacks with precision.
Wolf quickly moved to stop the head priest as well, aiming to disrupt whatever he was chanting and planning to do. His fla glowed brightly as flas were launched at the head priest, threatening to devour him, but he didn't move an inch, he continued chanting as if nothing was happening.
Corruption rose in front of him, forming a thick wall that stopped the flas and defended him against Wolf's onslaught. Upon noticing it, Wolf poured more mana inside his sword and summoned more flas as he charged forward, aiming to strike the priest with his sword.
But the priest would not be moved as more and more corruption rose from the ground. It started taking over more of the base as puddles and vines of corruption appeared where they were fighting.
The people living in the base were being evacuated, the process had started ever since Reign and the others first arrived and started fighting against the enemy. They had never before left the base without using a portal, which was forbidden before, but they had no other choice right now as the portals were all gone, destroyed by the explosion that signaled the start of the battle.
The guards cared little for the people of the base, in this mont, they were all scrambling to run away, to get far away from the battle that was far above what they could handle. The shockwaves from the battle alone were enough to heavily injure or even kill so of the guards and they wished to have no part in the chaos.
The corruption, however, was making it difficult.
They were all mbers of the sa faction and could use the power of corruption, but the corruption that was being released in the base was different, it was wild, not at all the sa as what they were used to.
The corruption that surged through the base was uncontrollable and chaotic, spreading like a malevolent plague. It twisted and distorted everything it touched, corrupting both the environnt and those unfortunate enough to co into contact with it.
As the battle between Reign and the enemy leader raged on, the corruption continued to spread, engulfing buildings and structures in its dark embrace. The ground trembled beneath their feet as the corruption seeped into every crevice, threatening to consu everything in its path.
Reign, sensing the growing danger, redoubled his efforts to defeat the enemy leader.
Greenie and the two rcenary leaders had the easiest ti out of everybody. With their surprise attack proving incredibly effective, they were able to take advantage and hold it without the enemy being able to do anything except defend themselves.
Without the boost from the base and the weakening that Wolf and the others were subjected to, Greenie and the others were simply more powerful compared to their opponents.
Back in the base, Laura and the others who were fighting against the fake Tier VI combatants found themselves facing sothing they didn't expect to face.
The fakes were being empowered by the corruption that was running rampant, but unlike the true Tier VIs, they were unable to control and properly contain the power of corruption that continued injecting itself into their bodies.
They were getting stronger and stronger, but their bodies were simply not strong enough to withstand it. Their bodies were changing, so limbs were getting larger or elongated, and the corruption was leaving a trace on their bodies as they got darker and a bit grotesque.
Their bodies were not the only things that had changed, however, as they beca akin to mindless beasts that only moved in order to kill those they deed to be their enemies.
Laura and the others quickly realized the severity of the situation as the corrupted fake Tier VI combatants beca increasingly monstrous and uncontrollable. Their once-human adversaries had transford into savage beasts driven solely by instinct and bloodlust.
With the corruption coursing through their veins, the fakes' attacks beca more erratic and dangerous. They lashed out indiscriminately, their movents fueled by an insatiable hunger for destruction. Laura and her companions found themselves pushed back as they struggled to fend off the relentless onslaught.

Despite their best efforts, the corrupted fakes proved to be formidable opponents. Their enhanced strength and ferocity made them difficult to subdue, and their relentless assault threatened to overwhelm Laura and the others.
Beast used his mark, and his two tad monsters started fighting against the enemy combatants with the sa ferocity that they were showing.
But Beast was not finished, he channeled his mana and sacrificed a good portion in order to summon a third beast as well, the wyvern.
With one more powerful Tier VI monster present on the battlefield, the situation beca easier to handle, not to ntion the fact that Beast was empowered by the mark and Laura had transford a portion of her body into a demonic form, giving her more destructive powers and also allowing her to heal others more effectively.
With their power-ups, they were able to effectively put a stop to the enemy's offensive and turn the tables around. With Mia joining the fray upon activating her own mark, their advantage grew even larger as her frost was sothing the fakes couldn't deal with easily, many of them slowing down or being forced to stop for a short period of ti in order to break the ice that had ford around them.
Even though it was only a short period of ti, it was enough for Beast and the others to dish out great damage.
Shadow had also stopped holding back and had used his mark, attacking the girl with full force while the rest didn't hold anything back either, all of them fully aware of the situation they had found themselves in and how dangerous it might beco if they didn't end the battle soon.
As for Reign, he was staring at the enemy leader, both of them panting as they had fought without resting for even an instant. They were feeling a bit tired, but they both knew that they could turn the entire battle around if they defeated the enemy in front of them quickly.
The corruption had only continued spreading in the base, and many of the people living there had not been able to evacuate on ti, leading to the corruption taking their lives, using them as fuel to grow even stronger.
The enemy leader no longer cared about his faction, about the base, about anything else but to destroy the ones that dared attack them and try to foil their plans. The origin of corruption was below, and with his powers and connection to the corruption, he was summoning it up, ready to use the full power of the corruption to deal with Reign and the others.
He had never done this before, there was never a reason for him to do sothing this drastic, not to ntion the fact that he had used the power of corruption without knowing where the origin was in the past.
After all, the desert was not a place where one could stay at the start of the ga, he had started out like most, in an area where the monsters were weaker and he was able to fight against them and level up.
He had only arrived in the desert a couple of months ago and built the base. It had taken him quite so ti to navigate through the underground tunnels, as well as to get through the chambers with the chanisms.
They didn't consider him an enemy, which was lucky for him, but so of the people who had arrived with him were killed by the security systems that were present. He had suffered a lot to get to where he was, and now, it was all going to be wasted because Reign and the others had found his base and attacked him.
They weren't even enemies, they had not crossed paths before, it was only because they were using the jungle as a hunting ground that their paths intersected, and because of that, they ended up on opposite sides.
He would rather not have them as his enemy, but the jungle was too important for him, and the corruption, he had to take it, he had to corrupt it in order to grow even stronger and to satisfy the voice inside his head, the voice which had awakened when the ga started.
It was that voice that made him into who he was today, and it was because of that voice that he was able to gain such power. Listening to it always gave him good results, and now, that sa voice spoke to him again, but this ti, the words the voice said made even the leader flinch.
