Is this really a Game?!



'Tch, this bastard is a tough one.' Wolf thought as he grabbed his sword and slashed against the demon who was using nothing but his own hands to fight. Of course, a pair of metal gauntlets covered his fists, but they were the same color as his skin, making it hard for one to notice them at first.

Both Wolf and Shadow had been fighting against the high-grade Tier IV demon for a while, and it was not an easy battle, even though they were able to somewhat suppress the demon with their skills and powerful attacks, the demon was still relatively fine and was fighting against them vigorously.

Compared to the demon that Reign had been fighting against, one that had incredible maneuverability, speed, and even long-range attacks, this one was solely focused on getting up close and personal and fighting you.

His body was incredibly tough, so much so that he fought without wearing any armor and only had a pair of shorts on him. His tough skin was something he had received thanks to his ability, which seemed to be similar to Tank's, one that gave him incredible defense and allowed him to fight without a care in the world.

Wolf's sword was able to injure him, and upon seeing that, the demon started fighting them differently, taking most of Shadow's attacks head-on, but dodging Wolf's attacks, or blocking them with his fists.

Wolf felt as if he was fighting a veteran MMA fighter, not a demon. The striking the demon showed, as well as the great grappling that he had used several times in order to throw Wolf down on the ground or get his sword out of his hands was something straight that reminded Wolf a lot of mixed martial arts.

Of course, that was not all the demon could do.

"Break!" The demon shouted as he lifted his right leg high in the air before smashing it down at Wolf who dodged to the side. The demon used an axe kick, and upon hitting the ground, it exploded as a crevice suddenly appeared.

The demon sneered at Wolf before charging at him again, not caring about the wing that had been right below Wolf's feet which he had destroyed with his powerful kick.

"You bastard!" The winged demon said as he stared at the other high-grade Tier IV with murderous eyes, only to suddenly open them wide and put his shield to the side.

Bang!

A powerful impact made the demon slide about 7 meters and his arm felt numb. Reign appeared above him right after he had finished sliding and slashed down at him, forcing the latter to use both of his arms to hold the shield and block.

Thanks to that, he was unable to do anything but continue blocking while Reign delivered a barrage of hits at him, forcing the shield to go lower and lower until it was at the demon's head.

Reign suddenly stopped attacking and let himself fall, landing on the shield before kicking it and passing the demon, appearing right behind him.

The demon grits his teeth as he extended his arm and opened his palm at Reign. A ball of demonic energy was launched at Reign who merely glanced at it before smiling and twisting his body to the side, evading the attack as wasn't planning on attacking the demon after getting behind him.

The demon opened his eyes wide as he saw how his ball of demonic energy landed on another demon, hitting him square in the back and sending him flying to one of M'azgara's monsters who grabbed his head in the air before slamming it down on the ground.

It was Mozgot, the tank-type of fighter that had a large body and powerful defense, as well as slow, but strong attacks, that was fighting against the demon that was hit. With the demon's head in his hand, he held it down on the ground before lifting his left arm and attacking.

Each hit was like a bomb exploding as the ground shook and cracks appeared below the demon's body.

Reign chuckled at the demon as he had managed to trick him into believing he was going to attack right away, prompting him to attack first, without even looking at what was behind Reign. 

Reign then kicked off the ground and charged at the demon before slashing at him with his swords. The demon blocked one sword with his shield, but Reign was able to slash his face with his other one, creating a gash on the demon's face and almost blinding his left eye.

After Reign had transformed, he was the superior one, but the demon was still able to hold on. Reign knew that he had little time remaining and needed to quickly finish the battle, otherwise, the transformation would end, and he would be left in a weakened state, which meant the demon would be able to kill him almost immediately.

Reign started attacking even faster than before while using the power of his sword. A clone of his was created right next to him and attacked the demon, taking him by surprise.

Unfortunately, the sword was not able to create a clone of Reign during his transformed state, so the clone was one of his previous state, and with the lower stats it had, it was unable to do much against the powerful high-grade Tier IV demon.

Still, Reign didn't need the clone to fight evenly against the demon as he was suppressing the latter right now, allowing the clone to attack him without being interrupted.

The clone suddenly closed its eyes and brought its sword in front of his chest as a powerful aura started being released from it.

"What the hell is that?!" The demon shouted in disbelief as he could feel that the aura coming from the clone was dangerous to him.

"You don't need to worry about that." Reign calmly stated as he continued with his attacks. He only hoped the clone would be able to quickly activate the [ Ethereal Truth ] and attack the demon, otherwise, when his transformation ended, he would be a goner.

Reign suddenly activated his darkness as he let go of his rank S sword. With a small hole appearing in his hand, he grabbed the shield by the side before pulling it. The small black hole that appeared on his palm started deforming the shield, making it screech as the metal started warping.

The demon stared in shock before attacking Reign with his mace, only to be met with the sword that Reign was holding in his right hand. He stared at Reign with anger before suddenly getting closer to him and attacking more with his mace.

"It's useless, your shield will soon get destroyed, and after that, so will you." Reign said before opening his eyes wide as his head was knocked back.

The demon had headbutted him. And thanks to the horns that were present on his head, Reign had gained quite an injury on his head.

His vision became slightly blurry before he gathered himself and angrily slashed at the demon, only to find that he was gone. He had let go of his shield and charged at the clone, bringing his mace down on its head and smashing him to pieces as demonic energy exploded around them.

As the demon turned around, he quickly jumped back, only for his chest to be slashed as blood started coming out. Reign continued attacking the demon, as he had luckily managed to move his head back when the latter headbutted him, resulting in him suffering a lot lighter than the demon expected him to.

"Dammit!" The demon angrily yelled as he tried to punch Reign, only for Reign to dodge the blow before using his sword to stab through the arm. The demon screamed in pain as Reign let go of the sword before dodging the mace that came from above. He quickly used his wings to get in the air and knee the demon in the face, breaking his nose.

Right after that, Reign went down behind the demon and punched him in the ribs before stabbing his sword through the demon's back.

He was still not over, as he knew the demon would not be killed so easily.

He went down and slid between the demon's legs right before the latter turned around. As the demon turned, he found nothing in front of him as Reign had come behind him. Taking his sword, Reign quickly pulled it out before slashing the demon's back open and using his wings to go up.

With the demon once again turning, he quickly looked back, expecting Reign to have appeared behind him again, just like before.

He wasn't there, however, but before the demon was able to look up, Reign fell down, and with him, his sword slashed at the demon.

The sword cut through the demon with ease, only stopping right below the chest. Reign then took the sword that was still in the demon's arm before pulling it out and stabbing at his neck.
