The voice told him to unleash the full power of corruption, to use it to its fullest extent in order to defeat Reign and the others. It told him that he had to do it now, or all would be lost. The enemy he was facing was simply not one he could win against if he fought as he usually did.
The leader hesitated for a moment, unsure of the consequences of such an action. He knew that unleashing the full power of corruption would have devastating effects, not just on his enemies, but on everything around him. It would corrupt everything in its path, twisting and distorting it until it was unrecognizable.
But the voice was insistent, and the leader knew that he had no choice but to obey. With a deep breath, he raised his hands, calling upon the corruption that lay dormant within the base.
The ground trembled as the corruption surged forth, spreading outwards in all directions. Buildings crumbled, consumed by the dark energy. The sky darkened as the corruption enveloped everything in its path, turning the once vibrant base into a twisted, nightmarish landscape.
The corruption spread out outside the base as well, suddenly overtaking the normal members of the faction that were running away together with the guards. The guards panicked, using their different abilities and powers in order to try and blast the corruption away, but it was for naught.
The corruption simply went through their powers, went through the weapons they used, went through them.
It corrupted them almost instantly, turning them into grotesque creatures at first, and then their bodies would suddenly break down, turning into nothing more but fuel for the corruption.
It was an almost suicidal move, what the leader had done.
Only the Tier VI combatants were safe from the power of corruption, and even they were taken aback by what was happening. Wolf and the others found themselves having to use a lot of mana in order to create a protective barrier around themselves in order to block the corruption and keep it away, lest the same thing happened to them.
The fake Tier VI combatants fared no better. They had already been changed by the corruption, and now, the same process continued and even intensified. Their bodies changed once more, their grotesque forms turning even more monstrous and their minds breaking further as they turned into humanoid beasts with little to no rationality left inside them.
The battlefield had turned into a chaotic nightmare, with corruption spreading uncontrollably and consuming everything in its path. Laura, Beast, and the others fought desperately to contain the corrupted enemies, their powers pushed to the limit as they struggled to maintain control.
Meanwhile, Reign faced off against the enemy leader, who had unleashed the full power of corruption. The leader's attacks became even more frenzied and unpredictable, fueled by the dark energy that surrounded him. Reign knew that defeating the leader was crucial to stopping the spread of corruption, and he fought with all his might, his determination unwavering.
That was not all, however, as out of the thousands that were swallowed by the corruption and turned into fuel for it, the corruption had fused multiple bodies together, creating creatures that seemingly came out of a nightmare and sent them to battle against them.
Meanwhile, Greenie and the mercenary leaders continued their assault on the remaining enemy combatants outside the base. With the boost from their surprise attack wearing off, they found themselves facing a more formidable foe. The enemies, empowered by the spreading corruption, fought back with renewed vigor.
Despite the odds, Greenie and the mercenaries stood their ground, determined to emerge victorious.
Since their enemies were already injured, it wouldn't take them long to defeat them, they just hoped that the monstrosities that the corruption had spawned wouldn't come to them during the battle.
Back inside the chamber, the battle between Reign and the enemy leader reached its climax. Both combatants were exhausted, their bodies battered and bruised from the fierce exchange of blows. But neither was willing to back down, each determined to emerge victorious.
Neither one had used their soul manipulation, deeming it not worth it against an enemy that could do the same. They were well aware of how powerful the opponent was and how much would be needed to take him down. Using soul power would do mostly nothing except make them focus on it and use up their concentration on something that would mostly do nothing but tire them out more.

The leader was already aware of the weird power that shielded Wolf and the others and knew that trying to go after them would also not be effective, so he would leave them to the corruption and the monsters that the corruption itself was summoning.
The source of corruption held immense power, so much so that even the leader was not fully aware of it. The monstrosities that the corruption was summoning would not be stopped, and they would continuously regenerate thanks to the corruption that was present.
No matter what they tried to do, no matter how much they fought against them, they would only end up tiring themselves out and using too much mana. When that happened, they would be nothing but victims for the corrupted entities to devour and for the corruption itself to take and use as nothing more but fuel for itself.
Wolf's battle against the head priest became a bit more difficult as the priest was using the corruption that was present all around them to make himself stronger, not to mention that he was also using it to attack Wolf and to defend himself.
It was incredibly tasking to battle against such an opponent in such an unfavorable environment, and Wolf was forced to use the chaos flames together with his mark in order to continue fighting and to jeep the corruption away.
As for Shadow and the others, they were all having their own difficulties fighting against their opponents, but none of them were planning on losing.
