Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 626 The Arrogant Winged Demon

?

Reign quickly turned his body in the air and landed on the ground, sliding a couple of meters before charging at the demon who was laughing as he prepared another ball of demonic energy.

"Shall we play a game?" The demon asked Reign as he stared at him with a sneer.

"Will I run out of demonic energy first, or will you die from shielding your people?" The demon asked before launching the second ball at the player's army while Reign once again jumped up in the air to block it. The ball of demonic energy was made in such a way that it would explode upon the slightest touch, so even if Reign was to use a skill to destroy it, he would still be injured from the explosion.

As for the question the demon had asked, this entire place had been molded by the demons a long time ago and the demonic energy present was abundant, he could easily gather more of it from the dead demons as well, making it nearly impossible for him to run out of it.

He snickered as he saw how Reign had blocked the second ball of demonic energy and prepared another one. He even removed his shield and mace as he was feeling quite comfortable now. Even though this would take a while, he didn't care, even if all the demons that were in the army were to be killed, he wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Even if most of the Tier IV demons were killed, he still wouldn't care. 

With his present strength, he was confident enough that he could hold back the monsters that were trying to escape the depths, not to mention that none of them could fly, which meant that the chances of him dying against them were slim to none.

This place was once one where the demons had to fight with everything they had in order to keep the monsters out, but recently, it was more of a competition between them to see how were able to kill the most, not to mention that they were the primary source of exp to them, and if one of them left the wall, they would be losing out on that and could potentially be left in the dust by the other ones.

The truth was that the demons could have gone on the offensive against the humans for some time now, but the demons were selfish and none of them wanted their tribe to suffer more than the other ones, and they also didn't want to leave the wall and lose the previous exp they were getting from the monsters.

Not to mention the fact that the demons also had hidden some of their Tier IV combatants in the past. If any tribe was to go attack the humans, the rest would devour them and make sure they would never be able to get to the wall in the future.

Many schemes were afloat, and all the Tier IV demons knew that whoever was to try attacking the humans would also be the one to suffer the most as the other tribes would use the opportunity to dominate their tribe and perhaps the others.

As for Wolf and the others, they could all see how Reign was struggling to fight against the demon and how the latter was using such a despicable tactic in order to force Reign to get injured. The player army could also see that, and they grit their teeth and fought more ferociously against the demons as anger took over them.

Even now, after they had managed to become more powerful and were in such large numbers, it was them that were getting shielded by Reign who was getting injured just so no harm befell them from the powerful Tier IV demon.

They started fighting more aggressively and managed to surprise the demons at first, killing more and more of them, but such a way of fighting left them open to getting attacked and injured as well, if they were to continue, the casualties they would end up with would not be light.

"Stop that right now!" Reign suddenly shouted as he got up from the third attack, his voice reverberating through the entire battlefield and even making the demons stop attacking for a moment.

He had imbued his soul power into the shout, which made people not only hear him a long distance away, but his voice also carried a sort of charm that would nearly hypnotize people into doing what he wanted them to do as their very souls would be responding to his words.

"I am not doing this so that you can throw away your lives like that, fight normally, and mind your business, this much won't be enough to hurt me." Reign said as he stared at the demon who was sneering at him while watching from above, another ball of demonic energy slowly forming above his hand.

He didn't care about Reign's little speech as he didn't really care how the army would fight, no matter if they lived or died after he was done with Reign, he would get rid of them too.

As long as a handful of Tier IV demons survived when he killed Reign, he was confident enough to get rid of everybody here with his power. As for the lack of Tier IV demons that would appear after that, they would simply train more, allowing the demons to attack the humans so that they would get exp and become stronger before being allowed here, at the wall.

They had observed the depths for a long time and knew that the most powerful monster that would come out was a mid-grade Tier IV monster, even after being vigilant and waiting in order to see if there would be a high-grade Tier IV monster coming out, none had done so after many months.

"I don't know whether to call your friend there brave or stupid, in order to save some useless people, he was risking his own life and amassing injuries, you do understand that after he is gone, we will be able to kill all of you, right?" The other high-grade Tier IV demon told Wolf and Shadow, but the two showed no emotion to his words, they merely continued fighting against him.

e?glesn??el They all knew that if Reign wanted to, he could easily change the odds with his transformation, what he was doing now was merely testing out the waters in order to see just how powerful the Tier IV demons were before transforming.

The moment he did that would be the moment the battle changed as they were all certain that none of the demons here would be his match. None of them were going all out either, but neither were the demons as everybody was reserving strength for later as they didn't know just how powerful their opponents would turn out to be.

"Hmph, even after being sent flying 7 times, you still continue getting up and charging at my attacks, are you really that dumb?" The demon asked Reign who got up from the ground, his armor dirty from the ground while his hair disheveled and some blood dripping from the side of his mouth.

His left arm was injured a bit as well as some skin had been torn and the flesh was showing, but it didn't bother Reign who was merely staring at the demon.

"Do you really believe that your friends will be able to defeat my comrades and come to your rescue?" The demon asked before smirking at Reign.

"That will not be possible, none of you will live to see another day, even if you were to start taking this seriously and not blocking each attack for your people, it is already too late, your injuries have started piling up and you are no longer as powerful as before, not that it matters." The demon said before launching another attack, prompting Reign to jump and block it.

"I am more powerful than you are, boy." The demon said in a serious voice as Reign got up again.

"So, your demonic energy is not going down, huh?" Reign asked as the demon nodded at him.

"Such attacks will not drain a lot, so I can do this all day long."

"Yeah, but it seems this is the most you can do when it comes to long-range attacks, which means you are definitely a melee combatant."

"Yes, but it doesn't matter, I have these, and you do not, that is all that I need." The demon said as he pointed at his wings before smiling ferociously at Reign.

"Having wings is a symbol of power even amongst the demons, you can see here that only a handful have them, and I am the most powerful amongst them, which should give you a clue as to how powerful I really am." The demon said before shaking his head.

"But since it seems your head is hollow, I will show you."

Suddenly, demonic energy started being drawn to the demon whose body was changing. He became bigger, spikes protruding out of his body while his wings became larger as well. His muscles were larger and he was now more powerful overall.

"See, boy, this is my true strength, and it is more than enough to destroy you."

"Even without my wings, you would not be my match."

"Wings this, wings that, are wings really that important to you, is it really that big of a deal?" Reign asked as he yawned before smiling at the demon.

"Then, shall I show you mine?"
