Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 705 Quest For The Mysterious Artifact: Reign's First Expedition Into The Demon Region



"So, nobody has any idea of where to search, nor what we are searching for, right?" Reign asked his teammates who all nodded their heads as they were walking across the demon region.

"Alright, well, I guess we just walk forward and hope for the best?" Reign asked confusedly as some of his team members snickered. 

"Party leader, you don't have to be on guard against us, we may not know each other, but since the two regional leaders have deemed you powerful enough to lead a team, we will not go against their wishes." One of the Tier IVs behind Reign said, easing him a bit.

"Sorry, I have been acting as a leader a couple of times, but this is the first time I'm on this planet, being picked as one of the leaders for something so important for you guys made me a bit nervous to be honest."

"Alright, let's just go forward, and hope we can come across some demon groups that have Tier IV demons in them, we'll just get some answers from them."

"That won't be easy, as you already should know, demons can get revived, well, most of them can, so they're not afraid of death, and even torture doesn't work on them, ever since this war against them has started, we have only managed to get information from a handful of demons." One of the members said, to which Reign just smirked.

"Don't worry, just leave the interrogation to me, I have yet to find a living being that has been able to keep silent in front of me." Reign's confidence made them all glance at him in a weird way. They have heard that he has four innate abilities and is incredibly powerful, but no matter how powerful one is, demons don't care and will just laugh in their face.

"Don't worry, the team leader isn't arrogant, you will find out soon why he has such confidence when it comes to getting information out of the demons." One of the Tier IVs present told the others with a mysterious smile. He had been present in the hall when Reign showed his powers, so he knew that he can manipulate souls, and that is a bane for the demons whose souls are the very thing that allow them to get revived.

They walked through the scorched soil and searched their surroundings, but they had not come across any demons so far, which was to be expected as they were still relatively close to the Lumon region.

In Reign's team, there were a couple of members who were not that good in a battle as their abilities allowed them to do reconnaissance, some of them had an ability that gave them incredibly good eyesight, some had a great sense of smell, some could utilize the earth to their advantage, being able to pick up minute tremors and locate enemies and more.

It was a team full of people that had different powers, and for such a mission, that was incredibly important.

The enemy outnumbered them since the demons controlled most of the planet and were constantly letting more demons on the planet through portals. On average, one demon region had fewer demons than a human region had humans, but there were many more regions, and the demons could easily go from one region to the other, so the regions that were next to a human region were the ones that had the highest number of demons as they all wished to partake in battles.

Of course, that was not all.

Since the demons were now the most powerful race on the planet and controlled about 80% of the planet, they had started fighting amongst themselves.

ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm After all, each demon tribe was incredibly large and could occupy a planet easily, so the many demon tribes that had come here had started creating alliances and fighting against the other powerful tribes for dominance. The deeper one went into the demon regions, the more battles they could see occurring between the demons.

The Tier VI demons were the ones at the front of those battles, and even though they rarely fought, they had stopped troubling themselves with the humans as their end was near.

It didn't matter if humanity managed to get a Tier VI person, even two or three wouldn't be enough to help them out, so the most powerful amongst the demons had stopped caring about the issue and were now doing their best to take control over the planet, it would be after that that they would finally go forward and destroy the last remaining races that were on this planet.

Reign and his team didn't search the area that was very close to the Lumon region, since the demons also seemed to have no interest in it, which meant that the artifact is probably deeper inside the region.  I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

Had the artifact somehow arrived near the Lumon region, the guards or somebody should have been able to sense or see something, and in the rare case it was close to them, then even better, it would be much easier for them to take it later on.

After walking about 10 miles away from the region, they were finally able to notice demon patrols.

The patrol teams were pretty much the same size as the ones that Reign and Laura had come across previously. There weren't many demons in each team, only about 5 or 6. There were the rare teams that had 10 or more demons, but those were quite rare.

The first time they had come across one such team, Reign had immediately charged at them and incapacitated them before anyone could even get close. His incredible speed shocked everybody present, but after a moment, they all just smiled.

He was the team leader, a peak Tier IV combatant, so it was natural that he was that strong. Upon seeing how the demons were spitting and cursing Reign, the team members thought nothing of it since demons usually did that, but upon seeing the demons all screaming in pain and rolling on the ground even though Reign had done nothing to them, they all stayed silent and stared at the sight.

Reign's eyes had turned purple, and a couple of his team members had noticed that.

Only a couple of seconds passed, and the demons suddenly changed their behavior completely. Instead of the previous cocky attitudes they had, they were now all afraid and were doing their best to please Reign and answer his questions.

"The team leader has an ability that allows him to attack souls, and since that is the bane of demons, it is only natural for him to be able to interrogate them easily, not just them, any being would be in incredible pain if their soul was attacked, so what the leader said before was true, all living beings would do their best to answer his questions so their souls won't get destroyed."

"Damn it, these guys know nothing either, they're useless." Reign said before swiping his hand and forcing all 6 demons to collapse on the ground.

"I promised I wouldn't destroy their souls, I said nothing about capturing their souls though." Reign said with a smirk as all of his team members smiled as well. They had nothing but hatred when it came to demons, so no matter how brutal one's means seemed to be, if they were aimed at demons, it was fine.

After the first encounter, they had come across many more groups of demons, and it was Reign that dealt with them immediately. Still, the most powerful amongst the demons were just Tier III demons, so it was natural that they knew little of what was going on.

"Alright, it seems we really need to go deeper in and find some Tier IV demons, these small fries won't be able to give us any important information at all." Reign said as he cracked his neck. They all ventured deeper into the region and spent hours there, but even then, they had been unable at locating a single Tier IV demon.

Of course, one had to remember that a region was incredibly vast, spanning hundreds of miles in one direction. If Reign's team was to try and search the entire region, for example, they would probably need weeks, if not even months to do so.

That was why even the demons had been unable to find anything yet and were sending out so many demons to try and find the artifact.

This was a great opportunity for the Lumon region, to be honest, as they could let their Tier II and Tier III Combatants go out and fight against the demon groups and level up, but Basred had deemed it too dangerous. He had already sent a scouting party and lost almost all of the members, and he wasn't keen on losing more men, which was why only powerful Tier III combatants were allowed to go out and search for the artifact with the Tier IVs.

After hours of searching, Reign and his team, as well as the other teams that had gone out, returned to the Lumon region.
