Is this really a Game?!

As Reign neared the place he suddenly slowed down, he wasn\'t going to simply let his enemies see him approaching them and he took a turn. Slowly going around he made his way to where the mana was from the left side, he crouched down and further hid his body in the tall grass as he observed 6 figures in the distance. The 6 were currently standing on the hill and were observing what was happening in the distance.

It seemed that the 6 were surprised by Wolf and Shadow appearing and fighting against the monsters together with Carlo and his people. The six were visibly shaking from anger as they knew that there was nothing that they could do in this situation. Their powers worked best against large groups of people that were weaker than them, when fighting people that had the same strength or were stronger, their powers would be almost worthless since a powerful combatant could easily pass through monsters before killing them in the end.

There were only a handful of people from their order that were good at fighting one on one against others, most of them simply preferred scheming around and using their powers to send monsters to do the dirty work like them. Their powers as well were different, some were more suited for controlling a large number of weaker monsters, some were better with fewer numbers but stronger ones, while others only controlled incredibly powerful variants and bosses.

\'A Tier I fighter.\' Reign thought to himself as he stared at the man at the very front of the group of 6. The mana coming from him was much greater compared to the others and it was impossible that he was still below the first evolution.

\'But if this is what their Tier I fighters are like, then there\'s no wonder they didn\'t dare attack the territory even when I was gone.\' Reign smirked as he could sense that the enemy Tier I fighter was without a doubt the weakest Tier I fighter he had ever seen.

"Damn it, I thought they said nobody left the territory, why are these two here then?!" The Tier I fighter shouted as the people behind him tried to placate him. It was obvious to them that the plan had failed and they needed to leave this place, otherwise, they might be in danger soon.

"Sir Bone, we really need to leave, fighting against three Tier I fighters is simply-"

"Shut up, we were given this task by the leader, I\'m not going to fail the first mission I was given after the evolution, even though we can\'t kill them all, I\'ll make damn sure that they lose some people!" The man called Bone said as he slapped the person that came to him before staring in the distance. He was of course staring at where Carlo and the others were and before long he started channeling a great amount of mana for something.

"Sir, please stop, if they sense you then they might stop fighting the monsters and come here, please, we need to leave." The five behind him all begged as the man turned a deaf ear to them. It was clear that he was not going to stop now, for some reason this mission seemed to be incredibly important to him and he was going to make it a success no matter what.

"Zip it, even if they are powerful, I don\'t believe they will be able to keep everyone alive after more monsters arrive, those bastards have been growing stronger and stronger, we can\'t allow them to grow anymore, if we don\'t start making them suffer losses then soon they might completely overtake us."

"That\'s right, if you don\'t try harder then all of you will soon die." Reign said as he stood behind the six.

"That\'s right, at least someone has a brain." Bone said without even turning back.

"Mhm, you guys really are pitiful, if you weren\'t so secretive then I would have already killed all of you."

"Correct, we need to … huh?" Bone suddenly stopped as a cold chill suddenly passed through his body. He slowly turned around, only to see four people standing petrified in fear as Reign stabbed the fifth one through the leg.

"Y-you!" Bone shouted with anger as he pointed a finger at Reign who had already changed his equipment. There was no need to continue being stealthy right now, he was content with simply listening to them before, but he wasn\'t about to allow the guy to send even more monsters toward the group.

Reign\'s appearance immediately created a great shock to all of the people present. Not only did they know of him, but they also knew that there was no chance that they could defeat him. There were no monsters around them to help out during the fight as they sent them all toward Carlo and the group, and their own abilities were useless against someone like Reign who was incredibly strong.

"So, you guys wanna fight, or will you make this all easier and just surrender?" Reign said as he stared at Bone whilst releasing all of his mana outside. The five people in front of Bone immediately started sweating bullets as they slowly started bending forward, the pressure coming from Reign was too strong for them to resist.

"You bastard, I\'m a Tier I fighter as well!" Bone said as he released all of his mana as well, but compared to Reign he was simply way too inferior. The only thing he was able to do with his mana was to withstand Reign\'s immense pressure while the other five were already down on their knees as he couldn\'t do anything to protect them, well, even if he could he probably wouldn\'t.

\'Tch, damn weaklings.\' Thought Bone as he tried to find a way out of this situation. He had one more monster that was nearby and even though he planned on sending it toward Carlo and the group, he was already forcing it to run over here in hopes of fighting against Reign.

He had no trust that the monster would be able to kill Reign however, he simply wanted to use it as a shield and run away from this place. His life was the most valuable thing he had after all and he wasn\'t about to lose it here.

"So this was all planned out huh, how did you know we were going to be here?" Bone started speaking as he hoped to draw this out before his monster arrived. Reign however simply smirked at him before taking out some handcuffs. He proceeded to put the cuffs on all the five people that were in front of Bone while the man simply stared at him angrily. Even though the anger he felt from being ignored was great, he couldn\'t let it take over as he would definitely lose if he was to fight against Reign right now.

\'You arrogant bastard, once I escape from here I\'ll make it my mission to take you down, everyone you care for will be killed by me, me!\' Bone screamed inside his head as his face warped a bit in anger, Reign of course didn\'t miss that but he simply continued slowly putting handcuffs on the others before standing up.

"So, where are they?"

"Huh?"

"The reinforcements you are so clearly waiting for, how much longer till they arrive?" Reign\'s words made Bone go pale as he stared at the man in front of him in horror. His smiling face made it obvious that he wasn\'t bothered at all by anyone coming here to help Bone out.

"Youuuu." Bone spoke through his teeth as he stared at Reign.

"ARROGANT FCKING BASTARD!" Bone charged at Reign with a mace in his hands, but before he could do anything.

Bang!

Reign\'s fist connected with his face as the man was sent flying back a couple of meters. When compared to Reign, he was simply way too weak to even pose a threat.
