Is this really a Game?!



Waiting for Greenie and the others to finish fighting so that they could help them, was not as simple or easy as it seemed to be. The monsters were relentlessly charging at and attacking Reign and the others with the sole purpose of killing them.

Being on the defensive would not work as the seemingly mindless monsters didn't care about anything else other than to kill them, which meant that fighting with everything they had and going on the offensive was much more effective in this case.

Reign's lightning was on full display as he used his speed to its fullest, moving around the monster and inflicting minor injuries with his normal attacks. In this way, he was able to occupy the monster and keep its attention on him, allowing the others to attack it with their skills.

His teammates, however, were having difficulty doing big damage. The only one capable of inflicting high damage to the monster was Beast, Spirit was doing fine, but he was a monster that specialized in speed and magic, most of his skills being usable for taking out large groups of enemies with only a few that were good for taking on monsters with a high defense.

Laura had powerful skills that could deal devastating damage, but they would do so against demons, when faced with a monster that was of a realm higher than her right now, she could only use her most powerful skills to deal high damage, something that would drain a large portion of her demonic energy and life force.

She couldn't simply fire off her most powerful skills right away, and thanks to the fact that the monster they were fighting against not only possessed high strength and defense but was also very fast, it was hard to lock on to it and hit it.

Reign's speed was above the monster's, but just by a bit, leading to him being hit a couple of times. Each time he was hit, he was sent flying back as the 5-meter-tall monster that had what looked like steel armor on its body possessed greater strength than any of them.

The other Tier IV monsters, although powerful in their own right, were nowhere close as powerful as the two that Reign and Wolf's groups were going up against. With how things were looking right now, it was more probable for Wolf's group to take down their enemy than Reign and his groups as that former had more firepower, thanks to Wolf's sword and more heavy hitters in the team.

Tank was able to block some attacks, even though he would be sent back a bit by each, while Shadow was able to use his darkness to deal continuous damage to the monster. Blackie was more powerful than other monsters of his own realm and could deal some heavy damage with his fangs and claws, not to mention that Tank was not only blocking attacks but dishing out damage with his axe as well.

Reign had Laura who was healing him each time he got hurt, which allowed him to continuously attack the monster and keep it occupied while Beast was launching arrow after arrow. The need for healing was another reason why Laura was unable to deal heavy damage as it was not only Reign she had to heal, but others that got injured as well.

Reign was sent flying back once again, but this time, he had used the power of his sword and summoned his clone. The clone appeared next to Reign and quickly stabbed one sword in the ground before grabbing Reign and stopping him from moving further.

The clone then quickly attacked the monster while Reign took on a stance and pulled back his right arm. He stared at the monster before exhaling deeply and concentrating. He knew that he was still far from mastering the move, but it was the one that could help him the most right now.

He closed his eyes for 4 seconds while his clone battled against the monster, it was unfortunately not as strong as Reign and was outclassed in every single aspect, leading to the monster quickly gaining the edge, even after Beast had attacked it with his arrows.

The clone was smashed down on the ground and the monster was going for the killing blow, annoyed by the enemies that were constantly managing to deal damage to it whilst dodging or blocking its attacks. Even though its body was getting more injuries each second thanks to Beast who was relentlessly launching arrows at it, it simply ignored it, only wanting to smash the clone apart and get rid of it.

The monster, which was humanoid in appearance and had two legs and two arms, stood right above the clone and lifted its arms up before clenching them with full force. It smashed down and hit the clone, destroying it immediately and forcing the ground below crack open and dent.

Right after dealing with the clone, it glanced at where Reign had previously stood, only to be unable to see him. Before it was able to comprehend why it was so, it suddenly felt danger from right in front of him as Reign appeared and stabbed its left leg.

[ Severing, Sword Four ]

The man that had previously disappeared erupted from the tip of Reign's sword as it penetrated through the leg with ease. It didn't just stop there as the mana exploded outwards and a large hole was created on the leg, one that one could see through and was about 35cm in diameter.

The monster shouted in anger before swiping his right arm at Reign, but the latter had already moved and was standing right between the monster's legs. The 5-meter-tall monster was unable to hit Reign with its previous attempt, and it had left itself open for yet another attack.

'You won't be able to move quickly now, with this injury, this battle has already been decided.' Reign thought before slashing upwards with his two swords.

[ Severing, Light, and Darkness ]

The skill was the first one Reign had created from the 'Severing' series and thanks to him finally unlocking his race and obtaining the light and darkness manipulation abilities, it had become even stronger than before.

The two slashes cut through the hard shell that covered the monster and opened two nasty wounds, but even though it was not a light wound, it didn't do all that much to the monster when it came to lowering its fighting capabilities as the previous attack did.

Reign quickly moved away as a large green arrow was launched at the monster, stabbing deep inside the left shoulder. Beast had used the chance when the monster was occupied and was standing still to launch a powerful arrow that left his fingers numb while Laura's aura was rising as a pentagram was drawn in front of her.

Her arm transformed and she punched the pentagram, only for the monster to now move and dodge the ray which only grazed him and did barely anything.

"It's a good thing I wasn't really aiming at him," Laura smirked as the ray continued forward, hitting a monster that Greenie was holding while one of M'azgara's monsters was attacking it.

The ray penetrated through the body and left a gaping hole through the monster's body, allowing them to quickly focus their firepower on it and deal great damage. Even Aelrinder had joined them and was using his spear to stab the monster numerous times in order to deal as much damage as possible so that they could finish it and move on to the other ones.

With one monster almost dead, the rest of the battle would go easier after they finally finished it off. The one Reign was fighting against was now slowed down, but it was far from being dead. A Tier IV monster was not so easily killed, and even though the gaping hole on its leg was slowing it down, one could already see the flesh slowly starting to work in order to close the hole.

It was thanks to the fog that the monsters had high regenerative powers and one couldn't simply deal small but continuous damage if they wished to kill them as the fog would heal them up. Only some forms of continuous damage were able to work against the fog, such as Laura's demonic energy and the power of Darkness that Shadow had.

Wolf's flames were somewhat suppressed by the fog when it came to burning as fiercely and as long as they usually did, but the power of chaos inside of them was enough to offset it, and if he was to use the chaos flames, the fog would be unable to do anything to them.

As time trickled by, the battle became easier and easier for Reign and the others. Their mana was running low and they were injured later as Laura was unable to continue healing them all up since her demonic energy was running low, but there were no serious injuries present and after dealing with the three weaker monsters, Greenie, and the others went to help Reign and the others out.

With seven more combatants joining the battle, even the two powerful Tier IV monsters were unable to defend themselves for long and fell in battle.
