32 An instant

A group of 20 hobgoblins slowly made their way toward the party. Led by 2 lvl9 hobgoblin captains, they walked forward with no fear in their eyes.

"Hey Reign, do you think you can shock them while taking on a captain simultaneously? " Wolf asked him as he readied his greatsword, pouring mana on it and making it heavier with every passing second.

"Hmm, I think so, why what's your plan?" Reign thought for a second before answering Wolf.

"It's simple, use overwhelming power to decimate them before they can do anything, Tank, do you have enough mana to use your other skill?" Wolf turned around suddenly and asked Tank.

"Yeah, it won't be a problem." Tank confidently nodded.

"Alright, Beast and Shadow you guys just need to stay behind and attack from range, Shadow can use his ability to hinder their movements if needed while Beasts wolves can help us out by attacking a hobgoblin together from behind, if we're lucky they will manage to kill some that way." Wolf quickly made a plan in his head, hearing his words everyone nodded, not bothered in the slightest that he was ordering them. He was best amongst them when it came to tactics and battle so everyone subconsciously thought of him as the group's strategist.

"Okay, here I go!" Reign shouted and broke into a sprint toward the enemy group, running with all of his might he summoned his lightning on both of his hands, the right one holding his sword while the left hand was clenched into a fist. The hobgoblins look at him and get ready, even if they outnumbered their enemies they still made sure to not underestimate them, otherwise, they might end up as the numerous corpses in front of them.

The hobgoblin captain on the left side was Reign's target, zooming in on him he prepared to use his skill to try and take him out immediately. The captain drew his sword out and it started glowing with a pale red color, lifting it above his head, he prepared to face Reign's attack head-on.

"It's glowing, these guys can also use skills?!" Reign thought as he charged forward, it was too late to stop now, putting all of his strength and faith in the attack he was about to unleash, he jumped and stabbed at the captain.

Lightning immediately formed all around the sword and Reign's right hand, the lightning-formed spear went straight at the hobgoblin captain that slashed his sword downwards. The red sword and blue lightning collide, breaking into a stalemate for a moment before the lightning moved forward, overpowering the captain's attack. The attack does manage to divert the lightning, so the captain only suffered from a sword wound and burns on his left shoulder.

Landing on the ground Reign immediately opened up his hand and used his lightning at the nearby hobgoblins, stunning many of them. Turning around he faced the captain as Wolf arrived at the shocked enemies.

Holding his greatsword on the side, Wolf stopped right in front of the enemies that were immobilized, and using all of his strength, he swung the giant sword at them, leaving a trail of fire in its wake.

[ Flame Slash ]

The flaming sword hits the enemies, setting them on fire. Finishing his attack, Wolf immediately jumped backward to avoid an attack from the other captain, and to avoid Tanks attack.

Tank suddenly jumped from behind Wolf, soaring high up he looked like a copper statue as his skin had completely changed color. From high up he suddenly started falling down, right in the middle of the hobgoblins that were trying to extinguish the fire.

{ Wrecking Ball }

Description: The user gains an incredible boost of physical strength for a moment, letting him jump incredibly high in the air. Reaching the peak of the jump, the skin will start turning into metal (if the user has a body type ability it will turn into that) and fall down towards his enemies, destroying anything in his path.

Tank hugs his legs while in the air and starts spinning while falling, his body as tough as copper currently gains a boost in speed and destructive power with that. Finally he reaches the ground where he smashes 3 hobgoblins immediately, while producing a small shockwave after hitting the ground.

"My turn again!" Wolf shouted as he managed to draw distance from the captain, Tank immediately retreated while the hobgoblins were in a confused state. Wolf jumped on Tank's shoulders and used him as a springboard to jump high before falling down and punching the ground.

{Volcanic Fist}

Description: Focusing the power of flames on the hand, the player is able to generate an incredible amount of power on it, hitting an opponent with it will make it explode on his body and deal massive damage while hitting the ground will make the fire go below and explode upwards.

The ground nearby suddenly exploded as fire broke out of it, the unfortunate hobgoblins that got caught in it immediately started screaming in pain as they were burned alive.

"Arrghh!"

The captain growled in anger while watching his subordinates die, he tried going after Wolf but two hands made from his shadow suddenly grabbed his ankles, making him fall to the ground in that moment, getting up he slashed them apart and charged at Wolf.

Right before he manages to get to him his instincts suddenly flared up, making him turn around just in time to see an arrow speeding right at him. Quickly slashing with his sword, he managed to block it, only for the arrow to explode right in front of him. His right hand suffered burns and a flesh wound, making it hard for him to now use it.

Wolf didn't waste the chance he was given and immediately attacked, swinging his greatsword at him.

Clang

The captain used both of his hands to wield the sword, flinching a bit the second he applied strength to grip it with his right hand. Blocking the attack, his hands immediately go sideways as the strength behind the attack coupled with the weight of the sword proved to be too much for him right now.

On the other side, Reign was having a tough battle with the other captain, being only wounded a bit the captain still had most of his strength, making him a strong opponent.

'I can't let this fight drag on, the more mana we spend and the more tired we get will just make the final batter harder.' Reign retreated a bit and looked at the captain with a serious look. "Sorry, I originally planned to use this against your boss but it seems I'll have to do it now, I'll be ending this battle in an instant."

Circulating mana in his whole body Reign suddenly started leaking it everywhere around him, the mana that went outside his body turning into lightning that lingered around him, coating his whole body.

"This is the first time I'm using this in a fight, it still doesn't have a name but you're the first opponent to ever see it, not that you understand what I'm saying of course." Reign looked at the captain who was preparing to attack, his sword already glowing with a bright led light. "It's useless, I already told you didn't I?"

Swish

"I'm ending this in an instant."

Reign moved his leg and suddenly appeared right behind the captain whose head was cut off.
