Is this really a Game?!
Chapter 714 Clash Of Leaders: The Fierce Showdown And A Surprise Arrival
"Well that was dangerous, you guys nearly killed me." Reign said as he dusted himself off under the shocked gazes of the demons.
What Reign had done was simple, he had merely coated himself in darkness and allowed it to tank the attacks for him, destroying most of them the moment they connected. Of course, it was something that seemed simple on paper but wasn't that easy to be executed.
One had to have not only good control over the darkness but had to use quite a bit of mana as each attack that the darkness consumed took a lot of mana from the user. Even though Reign seemed nonchalant about the entire thing, this little stunt had cost him almost a third of his mana, which was shocking as he had much more mana than an average peak Tier IV being.
The demons stared at Reign, two of them even falling on their knees as they knew they were done for. They had used up everything they had, not caring about the expenditure of demonic energy in the slightest, and yet, they had failed to even injure Reign.
Lightning appeared around Reign as he smiled at the demons.
"Ready?"
Reign disappeared and appeared in front of the axe-wielding demon who was down on his knees. Without facing any form of resistance, Reign's swords cut through the demon's neck, killing it almost instantly. The demon's soul was also not spared as Reign had collected it and given it to Aethion, just like he had done with the others.
These were Tier IV demons, they knew much more about the enemy compared to the others, so interrogating them was the top priority for Reign right now.
He then charged at the other demons and quickly arrived in front of them. They tried resisting, they tried fighting back, but they had little to no demonic energy left, which meant that it was impossible for them to contend with Reign any further, not that they were able to do so before anyway.
Reign's sword stabbed through right below the right shoulder of one demon before punching the other peak Tier IV demon with his sword still clenched in his hand. He then moved the demon to the side with his sword and suddenly smashed him against the other demon before taking his sword out.
"Farewell, little demons." Reign said as he stabbed through the eye of one of the demons and used his lightning to destroy the brain before letting go of his other sword and extending his hand and clenching it in that way.
Lightning appeared around his hand before he used it to stab through the chest of the other demon.
'I've always wanted to do this, why didn't I do it before?' Reign said as he used the signature move of two anime characters from a famous show. His hand easily passed through the body, destroying the heart of the demon and destroying its insides with his lightning.
"You're the last one, any dying words?" Reign asked the remaining demon who stared at him with a blank face.
"Tch, this is why I dislike you demons, usually, even an insect would fight fiercely in order to survive, but you bastards, you got comfortable with being able to revive and don't care, a bunch of weaklings that have died hundreds of times."
Reign's words seemingly struck a weak spot in the demon whose face warped in anger as it suddenly tried attacking him, only to suddenly grab its head and fall to the ground whilst screaming in pain.
Reign stared at him with his purple eyes whilst smiling slightly.
"Wanna know a secret?" Reign suddenly crouched down and whispered to the demon.
"None of you will be reviving anymore, this is it, this is the true end for all of you." The demon struggled to look up to Reign with a scared expression on its face before its head was suddenly impaled by two swords and his soul sucked out of his body.
"That leaves only one more." Reign said as he glanced at the demon who was still fighting against Liara. The two were locked in a fierce battle, and the demon was slightly pushed back.
Reign glanced behind him and saw that Liara's team had finished killing the Tier III demons, and from afar, his own team was making its way to them, with only about 200 meters left between them.
'Seems like this is it.' Reign thought as he walked over to Liara with calm steps. He wasn't going to join the battle unless Liara was suddenly put in a dangerous position. He could see how angry she was, and how eager she was to defeat the demon in front of her, and he wasn't going to take the satisfaction of defeating the enemy leader from her.
Reign arrived near them and sat down on a rock some 20 meters away from the two. Both Liara and the demon glanced at him, and Reign waved at Liara with enthusiasm.
"I'm cheering for you, come on, you can do it!" Reign said as he smiled at Liara who scoffed at him before suddenly jumping high in the air and pulling her halberd back.
The demon's face tensed up as it sensed a high amount of mana gathering at the halberd. He was also tense from the fact that Reign had already defeated his team with speed much greater than he anticipated. He knew that if Reign joined right now, it wouldn't take them long to defeat him.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm 'I have no recollection of such a human being part of any of the three regions, who is he, somebody with such power should be known by us.' The demon thought before channeling his demon energy and getting ready to face Liara's attack head-on.
Liara shouted as she stabbed down with her halberd, causing the mana that had been gathered to explode downwards, forming the image of a giant tiger that lunged at the demon, opening its maw to swallow him whole.
The demon shouted as well, creating a large golem in front of him that was covered in lava and black spikes that attacked the tiger. The two monsters which were created out of mana and demonic energy respectively clashed, creating a powerful gust of wind that blasted everything around them.
Reign watched the scene in front of him with great interest as Liara and the demon did their best to win the clash, and unfortunately for Liara, even though she was technically stronger than the demon, the demon was inside a region controlled by demons, which meant that there was more demonic energy and less mana available around them.
The ground was also different, the higher temperature and the heat allowed the demons to exert more power than normally, and in a short clash, the difference in power wasn't as evident, but if the battle continued for long, the demon would be the one with the advantage, just like now.
The golem was pushing the tiger back as the amount of demonic energy the demon could gather and send to the golem was larger than the amount of mana Liara was able to gather and send to the tiger, and in the end, the golem was able to hug the tiger, but not without suffering damage from the powerful jaws of the tiger that bit its head.
The golem smashed the tiger down, but the tiger didn't relent and crushed its head before dissipating.
"Hahahahahaha, seems like you're still lacking little girl!" The demon said with a sneer on his face. His golem was heavily injured, but unlike the tiger, which was formed purely out of mana and was used for one attack only, the golem was something the demon created with demonic energy, and the soil, rocks, and lava that was around and below them.
He could use it for much more than one attack, and he merely need to supply it with demonic energy in order for it to fight.
Liara's face hardened as she realized she had made a mistake. Instead of using one attack that was fast and could reach the demon quickly, she had used one of her most powerful attacks, one that took longer and needed her to constantly supply it with mana, which made her lose the clash.
Still, she didn't believe she would lose, she had simply made the battle harder for herself with her blunder.
"Unfortunately for you, you should have attacked me together right away, you might have been able to survive had you done that, but it is too late now." The demon said as he glanced at Reign whose face changed as he looked behind the demon.
Another team of demons had appeared, one that had about 8 demons, all Tier IV.
Even though there were fewer demons present compared to the party before them, they were in no way weaker, instead, these 8 might be stronger than the more than 40 demons that had appeared previously.
One peak Tier IV demon.
5 High-grade Tier IV demons.
2 Mid-grade Tier IV demons who were close to becoming high-grade Tier IV demons.
The thing that set them apart from the other demons was their bodies. They were purple in color and had ethereal bodies.
