Is this really a Game?!

Reign left the office with the others before being left with Lieara as Ilas and Dain went their separate ways. The two had to go to their men and get them ready, contrary to them there was no pressure on Lieara as she was in charge of the elite troop, and compared to the normal soldiers, they were always ready for a battle and it would take them only a short amount of time to get ready.

"Can you tell me a bit more about the person that's coming to help us?" Reign suddenly asked Lieara, he already knew that something was not quite right with Raigon, just the slight mana leak that happened after the battle was enough for Reign to suspect that he was hiding his strength, and from Reign's instinct, it wasn't low at all.

Before they started the fight he wanted to know a bit more about the mysterious third person that had the same strength as Lico, not only would the help that someone like that would bring be great to have, but Reign also wanted to know more about them in case anything unexpected happened.

"He's called "The Judge" and honestly there's not much I can tell you, it's not that I don't want to, but simply because that person is shrouded in mystery." Lieara suddenly said before entering a room. Reign followed after her and closed the door. They were in a small office inside the castle, Lieara sat down on a chair before continuing to talk.

"He appeared about 2 years ago, at first nobody really thought anything of him, simply a masked man that would go around and defend people and kill criminals, the power he showed back then wasn't anything special either, but the methods he used for attacking were, however."

"Methods?"

"Yes, you see, "The Judge" never really attacks his enemies by himself, somehow he can control mana in such a way that lets it materialize different things. Sometimes he would create chains that would bind the criminals, after the local enforcers got a hold of the criminals the chains would disappear. Other times there might be hands that suddenly appeared out of the blue, different kinds of weapons, and more."

"As more time passed however he became a bit more active, when the war started was when everybody was able to see his true power. I was on the battlefield back then, the images are still vivid in my head, giant hands suddenly appeared above our enemies before smashing down on top of them, fists that kept the top combatants of the coalition busy, the incredibly long chains that whipped around and destroyed all that tried to stop them, it was simply incredible."

Lieara smiled a bit as she reminisced, the situation at another fortification was turning bad before The Judge had arrived, but after his arrival everything was fine, no opponent was able to even get close to the man before they got pulverized.

"Nobody knows who he really is, well, the king and the other first evolution combatants do, they are also the only ones that can send him out for missions, to be honest, I'm quite surprised that he is coming here, ever since Raigon took control of this fortification, the war had stabilized and neither Lico nor the Judge were had joined any battles."

"I see." Reign simply said before standing up, even though his face was calm, his thoughts were very different. 'So that's how it is.'

"Boy, that person, he might be a Creationist, no, he most definitely is a Creationist." Aethion's voice was suddenly heard inside Reign's head.

'A Creationist, what is that?'

"They're a rare sort boy, beings that were given an incredible gift and can control mana to such a degree that they can create things with it, don't think of it lightly, you and the others can give mana elemental properties and transform it, but a Creationist isn't limited by anything." Aethion's serious voice continued.

"Anything you can imagine, you can create, that is what those people always say."

'Are they powerful?'

"It depends on the person, some are more suited for support, some for creating bases and different things, but those that have a good grasp over their ability and can use it for combat, well, to call them powerful would be an understatement." Aethion stopped for a moment before continuing his words.

"I once fought in a battle where a Creationist was also fighting, even though he was a Transcendent like the rest of us, his power was much greater, meteors fell down on his enemies, millions of swords came down from the sky and pierced through the targets like sieves, it was an unforgettable sight."

'So, he should be of great help right?'

"Only if he has a good grasp over his ability, and from what the girl had just said, it seems he already does."

'Good, right now that's all I care about.'

Reign walked out of the castle before leaping on the top of the wall, sitting down on the highest point he simply closed his eyes and let his thoughts disappear. The battle that's about to happen will be a great one, not only was the first evolution combatant coming, but multiple top combatants of the coalition were also going to be present there.

Thanks to the power of the first evolution combatant, the coalition didn't think a lot about this fortification, it didn't matter how strongly it was built nor what kind of defenses they had, when faced with overwhelming power it would be for naught. Even though the person coming here was amongst the weakest of the first evolution, he was still not someone that should be underestimated.

The coalition didn't even try to cover their tracks or hide their approach, an army of 6 000 men led by 3 top combatants and a first evolution combatant, was all they had sent,  even though the numbers seem low, it was enough as a first evolution combatant was leading them and the fortification didn't have anyone that could go against him.

The coalition not only knew of the power that the people in the fortification had, but they also knew what kind of defenses were there, of course, they weren't arrogant to assume that was all that the fortification had, but no matter what they could find there, it shouldn't be enough to pose a threat to them.

The army slowly approached the fortification without a care in the world. If one was present they would be shocked to see how lax the soldiers were, talking with each other, laughing and commenting on what they were going to do once they break through the fortification and enter the kingdom's land.

The king of Older, one of the two weaker kingdoms in the coalition was leading the army with his 3 closest aides. Out of the three, two were people that couldn't complete their evolution missions and had simply abandoned them and continued leveling while the third one was close to finishing it, but was stuck at the hardest part.

The king and his aides were talking about their strategy, even though the fortification was certain to fall, the king wanted to make sure that they took it down quickly and without large casualties. Other than that, he was also wary of Raigon, the man had time and time again showed them that he is incredibly capable and could overturn seemingly impossible tides, the king was not one to underestimate his enemy.

Suddenly a medallion that one of the three aides held started vibrating. The man took the medallion and listened to the person on the other end before his face turned serious. He quickly told the king of what he had learned.

"I see, so that bastard does have something that can help them overturn the odds, slippery fcking bastard." The king spoke as his face changed a bit, he slowly started releasing mana to the surroundings as the soldiers all stopped talking.

Another one of the three top combatants went back and relayed the info, he wanted to make sure that all of them took the following battle seriously.

"But my lord, isn't it weird?"

"You mean how someone like Raigon spilled out a secret like this?" The king asked the aide before continuing, "Of course, it is, that either means he wanted to let us know in order to de-moralize us, or he is hiding something else, no matter what it is I don't care, I will show them the full power of a king and break through everything they have!"

With a loud shout the army started marching forward, the soldiers had all suddenly changed, gone were the lax faces and the merry talks, none of them dared to talk with each other now as they knew that the following battle would definitely be a tough one.

The king on the other hand had a smile on his face, even though he was old, he was hungry for battle, time and time again he would be forced to join hands with another ruler in order to fight against the king of Riplas, even together they were barely a match against that bastard.

Now it was time to hit them back, the war had continued for much longer than they had previously anticipated, it was time to finally end it. They didn't know just who it was that managed to take down Lios, but after learning about it, the coalition immediately went all out.
