Is this really a Game?!



The two sword lights passed through multiple demons as if they were made out of paper. The demons were cut in half, with only 5 surviving as the three high-grade demons blocked the attack at the end.

Reign's attack was simply too fast, he had appeared instantly in front of them and hit them with a powerful skill before any of them were able to gather their strength and attack or defend, making them suffer heavy losses in an incredibly short period of time.

"Five left, not bad, not bad at all." Reign said with a smile as he glanced at the injured 5 Tier IV humans. He suddenly stabbed his sword into the ground before extending his palm toward them. His palm started shining brightly as all five of them felt their injuries heal.

Reign healed them a little bit, just enough for them to be able to survive without any help, and for those who were seriously injured to not collapse before the fight was over.

"Go help your teammates, I'll handle these guys." Reign said as he grabbed his sword before blocking an attack that one of the high-grade Tier IV demons had launched his way.

The demons stared apprehensively at the human in front of them. They felt danger coming from him, the power he possessed was actually larger than the power even the leader of their team possessed, which was evident by his entry, during which he had killed a total of 7 demons in just a couple of seconds.

Liara smirked before staring at the demon whose face had turned solemn.

"Seems like you won't have your wish fulfilled, you're the one that is going to die today," Liara said before charging at the demon who met her charge with full force.

"We'll see about that!" The demon said with a growl as he battled Liara with everything he had.

'Thankfully, we have called for reinforcements, I will see just how arrogant you will behave after they arrive.' The demon thought as his mace clashed against Liara's halberd.

"Since those two are going at it, shall we start as well?" Reign asked the demons as he glanced at Liara who was battling the demon. By the looks of it, she didn't need any help and could fight the demon to a standstill at the very least.

But Reign believed that she wouldn't lose, after all, the demon was powerful, and had boosted himself, but Liara was the one who was looking a lot more comfortable during their fight, which Reign took as a sign that she was still not going all out.

He lunged at the demons, slashing at one of the mid-grade Tier IVs before being blocked by two high-grade Tier IV demons who clenched their teeth as they did their best to push Reign back. Two demons, both high-grade, were trying to push Reign back, but to their horror, they discovered that he was strong enough to not only contend against the two of them in strength but was actually slowly pushing them back.

The third high-grade Tier IV demon, as well as a low-grade Tier IV demon who was a demon mage, attacked Reign. The mage cast a spell from the back while the other demon jumped high and slashed down with his twin axes, intending to strike Reign's shoulders and potentially sever both of his arms, but of course, that didn't happen.

Reign simply looked up and smirked before opening his mouth. The demon felt great danger, but unfortunately, he was not a winged demon and was unable to move in mid-air, so he slashed down with full force, intending to fight back against whatever Reign was about to launch his way.

[ Lightning Roar ]

A beam of lightning erupted from Reign's mouth, clashing against the two axe waves that had transformed into demonic beings that were lunging at Reign, only for them to be destroyed by the beam in a couple of seconds.

The attack, however, had allowed the demon to spin to the side and dodge Reign's beam, but he wasn't safe yet. Reign moved his head toward the demon, the beam arrived at the demon who blocked it with his axes, but the lightning started hurting his body, shocking it and starting to char it slightly while his axes started heating up.

Just as the demon thought that he wouldn't be able to continue resisting, the demon that Reign had initially attacked, the mid-grade demon who wielded a thin sword, arrived at Reign's side and attacked him while the mage finished his casting and hurled a large black spike that was made out of black rock and had lava coming out of it.

'A spike with lava, that's a first.' Reign commented before chuckling and jumping back. The two high-grade demons had been unable to do anything as they were doing their best to contend against Reign in a battle of pure strength, and as they were losing, it was easy for Reign to pull back and dodge the two attacks that were sent his way.

The demon's sword hit nothing but air, while the spike hit the soil, it burrowed deep inside before exploding, causing the ground to slightly shake and the soil to explode upwards, with some lava coming out as well.

'Hmmm, the explosion has a similar effect to Wolf's [ Volcanic Fist ], not bad at all.' Reign praised the spell of the demon mage as it was truly a powerful one for a low-grade Tier IV demon. 

A hole that was about 5 meters wide and 6 meters deep was left from the explosion, which showed just how deadly the spike was. The demon stared at Reign hatefully before starting to chant again, but Lyle raised a sword and shook it to the left and right slightly.

"Now, now, you're being a tad bit too optimistic if you think I'll allow you to continue." Reign smiled before lightning exploded around him, shocking the three demons who had charged at him before disappearing from sight.

The demon took a step back in fright but was unable to see Reign at all. It looked around, only to suddenly freeze before looking up. Reign had appeared a couple of meters above him, and had taken out a spear that was charged with lightning before hurling it down at the demon.

Even now, with him being much more powerful than before, using a real spear for the [ Lightning Spear ] skill still produced a more superior attack, and it was shown here as the spear penetrated through the barrier the demon had hastily made in order to block the attack and survive.

The barrier had a hole in it and the spear passed through it as if it was nothing before arriving at the demons whose eyes were wide open as he stared at the spear.

The spear passed through his forehead, easily penetrating through his skull before continuing down, penetrating his spine and snapping it in half before coming out slightly above his crotch and stabbing into the ground.

The demon died standing as the spear didn't allow his body to fall down.

The other demons stared at Reign with hatred before he smiled and crossed his swords in front of his chest, blocking the two axes that the high-grade Tier IV demon had thrown at him. The attack was one that packed quite a punch, and it pushed Reign back about 4 meters, sending him higher up in the air than before.

The other three demons all quickly used their long-range attacks and bombarded Reign who was seemingly unable to do a thing as he was falling down. The five human Tier IVs all stared in horror as they had been helping out the Tier IIIs and were almost finished with killing the demons.

If Reign died, even though they now possessed the advantage in numbers, they would be hard-pressed to fight against the demons, who had 3 high-grade Tier IVs and one mid-grade.

As for Liara and the leader of the demon team, they both merely glanced at Reign before continuing their battle. Both of them were peak Tier IVs, and both understood that Reign had merely been playing around with the demons up to this point, such an attack wouldn't be able to defeat him, and even injuring him in such a way would be difficult.

Explosion after explosion took place in the air above the demons as they hurled their strongest long-range attacks at Reign. The demons spared no mana and used as much as they could in order to deal with Reign.

As the explosions ended, and the charred body of Reign had fallen down to the ground, the demons panted heavily before charging at him with full force, sending even more attacks at him as he landed.

What they didn't understand, however, was that Reign's body wasn't charred, but covered in darkness. Darkness was incredibly destructive and could even be used to nullify attacks that were below a certain threshold.

Reign had done it before by using the dark hole to combat the darkness and save his life, as well as Wolf's.

With darkness covering his entire body, Reign had nullified most of the attacks that landed on him and was only hit by some of them, which barely did anything to him. After the second round of attacks was finished, Reign stood up from the ground, and the darkness that covered him scattered around him.
