Is this really a Game?!



Reign smirked at the two demons he captured. 

Both clenched their teeth and stared at him as he calmly called Laura over. With her powers, she was able to give them immense pain, and he wanted her to do it as it would allow her to calm down a bit. 

The previous sight of the demons ravaging the two girls had made her explode in anger, and because it was Reign that had taken the demons down, she didn't have a chance to release her anger at the demons, and now she did.

She started using her powers and beating the two up while Reign watched her. Even though this was supposed to be an interrogation, Laura didn't let the two speak a single word as she continued pummeling them and beating them up.

After about 2 minutes of nonstop beating, during which one other group of demons had actually dared come close, thus getting caught and most of them slaughtered by Reign, she stopped.

"Hey, you know this planet better than me, so you can ask the questions." Reign said as he shrugged his shoulder at Laura who nodded at him.

"Where are we, what region?" Laura asked the demons who stared at her with anger.

"We … we are near the Lumon region, the one commanded by Sir Basred." A voice behind Laura and Reign was heard as one of the two girls spoke.

"We … we had gone out with a scouting party in order to find out why the demons had suddenly sent many patrols out, but our group got attacked, and the two of us were captured."

'The Lumon region, good, that is one that I have briefly visited before, I know some people there, and best of all, I never spoke about Reign and the others there.' Laura thought as she sighed in relief.

"Ohh, that's interesting, so … friends … what are you guys doing here, sending out all those patrols, huh?" Reign asked the two demons as he told Aethion to torture the souls of the ones he had killed and find out more about what they were doing.

"Just kill us, no torture will make us talk, you puny little human." One of the demons said as Reign smiled at them.

"That's a mistake, see, I'm not really a human, you little bastard." Reign's eyes suddenly turned purple as he used his soul manipulation to deliver an attack at the two demons. They both suddenly opened their eyes wide and rolled on the ground whilst screaming in pain.

Both of them were low-grade Tier III combatants, and even though they were the strongest in their group, compared to Reign and Laura, they were nothing but ants that they can crush in an instant.

After about 4 seconds, Reign stopped his soul attack and allowed the demons to collect themselves before crouching down and staring at them both.

"You can talk, and I will promise that I won't destroy your souls, or you can keep silent, and I shall get the answer from your souls personally before destroying them both, that way, you won't be able to get revived, right?"

Reign's smile terrified both the demons who now felt great fear from the human in front of them. Demons could revive, and that was why they were so arrogant and didn't fear death, but when faced with a being such as Reign, one that could destroy their very soul, they turned into meek, weak-minded beings.

They quickly started speaking, but unfortunately, they knew little of what was going on. They just knew that the ruler of the region they were in, a Tier V demon, wanted something that had appeared in the region, and only the leaders of the patrol teams, which were all Tier IV beings, knew what they were looking for.

The rest were only told to report back if they found anything suspicious or weird, and that was it.

"Seems like they're useless to us, we'll have to grab one of those Tier IV demons if we want to know what's going on." Reign said as he decapitated both the demons and took their souls.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

He had promised to not destroy them, but he said nothing about capturing them, torturing their souls, and adding them to the army of souls that he used for battle.

"How far away is the region from which you came from?" Reign asked the two girls who suddenly looked a bit nervous. They had heard Reign's previous words, about how he isn't really human, and they were concerned about that.

They knew of the existence of the 'possessed', and thus they didn't know if Reign was one of them or not.

"Don't worry, he isn't one of them." Laura suddenly said before taking something out of the inventory. The two girls suddenly widened their eyes at the badge she showed them before Laura used her mana to make it shine a purple light.

pandasnovel.com "A demon hunter." One of the girls said as Laura nodded before giving the badge to Reign, who used his mana, making the badge shine a bright light color.

"I have fought alongside the soldiers in the region of Timen multiple times, and this man here is my teammate, as you have heard, he isn't really human, but he isn't a demon either."

The two girls nodded at Laura before they started talking. The badge was a special kind of item that the humans on this planet had created with the help of the system. It was given to Demon Hunters, and it could distinguish between demons, humans, and even those that were currently possessed.

If the badge shone purple, it meant that the person holding it is a demon hunter, one that was possessed in the past, but was now free of control and could utilize demonic energy. Blue was for humans, white for other beings, red for demons, and black for those that were possessed.

"About 22 miles away, huh?" Laura softly said as the two girls nodded at her. The region wasn't that far away, luckily, and if Laura and Reign wanted to, they could reach it quickly, but they weren't going to simply leave the two girls alone here.

"Let's go, we'll bring you back to Lumon, perhaps we will be able to come across one of those Tier IV demons and find out what they're looking for as well," Reign told the two as he stared moving toward the region of Lumon.

The trip wouldn't take them that long, but there was a high chance of coming across demons, as well as other humans along the way. It seemed that the boss of the region hadn't thought things through very well and had sent a search party that was too small and weak compared to the many patrols of the demons, leading to most of them being killed or captured.

Along their way, they came across multiple groups of demons. If there were humans that they had captured, most were women, but they managed to come across some that had captured men as well.

Reign and Laura helped them all out, killing the demons and saving the human prisoners. They were all grateful to them, especially after seeing Laura's badge and knowing that they were on their side.

Unfortunately, they didn't come across any Tier IV demons, none at all. From the information that Aethion had managed to pry from the souls of the demons, their leaders were further away from the region of Lumon, and the chances of even one of them being close by were abysmally low.

That didn't concern Reign, and at least not for now. If the Tier IV demons were powerful ones, then that would mean that the people they had saved would be in danger if a battle started. If Reign and Laura were to fight 2 or more Tier IV demons at once, there was a chance that the prisoners might get injured from the battle itself, or attacked by other demons who were nearby.

Of course, Reign could easily defeat a Tier IV demon that was below higher-grade Tier IV, and he doubted that those that were present here were high-grade or peak Tier IVs as the leader of demons here was a Tier V demon, and he was the only Tier V demon present.

It took them slightly over 2 hours to arrive in the region of Lumon, and that was because some of the people present in their group had been injured and couldn't really walk normally. They were all Tier II and some were even Tier III combatants, so compared to regular humans, they were much stronger and faster.

As they neared the region, the incredibly tall walls showed themselves. The entire region was surrounded by a great wall that was 150 meters tall, and about 20 meters thick. To be honest, even Laura was left speechless after seeing it, even though she had already seen such a wall twice in the past. 

She had no idea how humanity had managed to build such strong and tall walls whilst being attacked by demons in the past, but the 10 walls that surrounded the ten regions were the only places that humanity could survive in, the final safe havens for humans.
