Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 237 Going Back Home



“H-hey, I think that’s enough, he’s already dead,” Magokur says while looking at Reign who had switched to punching the commander’s chest, the head was gone, mashed to a pulp as brain matter and blood were everywhere.

Without stopping, Reign continues hitting the chest of the orc as if he never heard Magokur’s words.

“H-hey Reign, that’s enough!” Magokur suddenly shouts but takes a step back after being stared at by Reign. The person in front of him didn’t even look like himself anymore, lightning had covered every part of his body and hidden it from sight. Right now he looked like a lightning monster in humanoid form, a simple stare from him was enough to put fear in Magokur as the latter had cold sweat running down his back from the simple action.

Reign continues hitting the corpse before an arrow hits the ground near him, the arrow explodes and Reign quickly jumps back in order to avoid the blast. Before he even landed there was suddenly a wall of fire that separated him and the corpse while another figure appeared behind him.

“Reign.” Shadow calls out to his friend as he puts his hand on his shoulder, the lightning immediately shocks him but he doesn’t even flinch as he stares at his friend’s face as the latter had turned his head around. Time seemed as if it had stopped as the two looked at each other.

“Get away from him, he’s not himself right now!” Magokur shouts but stops after seeing Shadow shake his head.

“He won’t do anything to me.” Shadow’s words rang true as the figure simply stared at him before the lightning stopped shocking him. Slowly it started disappearing as Reign’s face and body could finally be seen.

“Shadow.” Reign calls out before he suddenly falls on Shadow who catches him. The others arrived and said a single word as they looked at Reign who had passed out. They only manage to see a bit of the battle, well, they managed to see Reign hitting the dead commander and they weren’t even sure if it was him at first.

But his black and white lightning was too conspicuous and they were quick to realize that something must have happened for him to assume such a form. After putting him on Fluffy’s back they switched their sight to the huge sword and the person beneath it.

All of them had different expressions on their face after seeing Adam’s dead body. Laura and Beast had their eyes tear up while Tank and Shadow hung their heads down while attempting to control themselves, their fists were clenched as they slowly moved towards Ashley and the other 3 who were tied up.

Wolf slowly moved towards Adam as his face was still the same as before. He puts his hand on the sword before turning back to face Laura.

“Hey, I need you to heal him after I lift the sword.”

“Huh?” Laura confusedly says before widening her eyes in shock as Wolf lifts the sword and removes it from Adam’s body. The huge stab wound starts bleeding profusely as she scrambles to get closer and heal his body. The wound slowly closes as Laura uses her healing in order to heal the body.

“Even if it was for a short period of time, he was one of us, he deserves a proper burial,” Wolf says as he moves a couple of meters away from Laura and drops the sword down. His sword suddenly gets engulfed in flames as he uses [ Sword of Flames ] before hitting the blood-soaked sword with all of his strength.

The two swords collide and an explosion follows as the sword gets broken into pieces, with a calm stride Wolf moves towards the commander’s corpse. His hand gets enveloped in flames as he punches the corpse in the stomach.

[ Volcanic Fist ]

The powerful flames burst out from inside of the corpse as it chars completely, with a swing of his sword the whole body turns to ashes and scatters in the wind. Even though he didn’t show it, Wolf was fuming inside, he had witnessed death many times during his work, but he had personally taught Adam and the others, seeing his dead body made him angry, alas there was no enemy he could turn to in order to quench his anger.

He turned to the weapon and the killer and decided to erase any trace of them in order to calm himself down a bit, it worked but he still wished he could fight someone in order to calm down further. Looking at Reign he utters quietly “We’re angry about it too, you idiot.”

The form that Reign had taken during the fight was something none of them had seen before, even Wolf was shocked after feeling the intense pressure and killing intent coming from him during their brief encounter.

He walks up to Magokur while the others took care of Ashley and the other players, all of them had woken up by now and they were shaking after the whole ordeal. Seeing Adam’s motionless body made them burst out in tears, there was currently no injury on his body as Laura had completely healed him.

“What are you going to do now?” Wolf asks Magokur as the latter sits down and sighs, “I have a hideout, after finding out that both I and the commander have disappeared the chieftain will probably decide to hide in the base before training some other orcs to take our place.”

“That won’t be easy as it will take a lot of time in order to get those guys to our level, without or strength he probably won’t dare to attack the ape as his strength is insufficient to fight such an opponent, on the other hand just need 2 days in order to get in touch with my men and to get everything ready for the attack.”

“You call us after you finish everything up, when Reign wakes up we will be ready to attack the base.”

“Of course, I have to say, seeing him fight like that was, shocking and terrifying to say the least, it was as if he was a completely different person, what the hell was that?”

“I wish I knew.” Wolf simply shrugs his shoulders as he sits down next to the orc and takes out two bottles of water, he offers one to Magokur, and the latter thanks him before grabbing it and drinking it.

“Aren’t you worried that I poisoned it?”

“No, you guys don’t need to use such methods if you wanted to kill me.” Magokur smiles bitterly as he drinks the remainder of the bottle.

“I’ll call you after 2 days.”

“We’ll be waiting, also, thanks, for saving them.” Wolf glances at the four players that were sitting down while being consoled by Laura currently.

“We’re allies, helping each other is natural.” Magokur stops for a moment and says before resuming his walk, a couple of orcs had appeared nearby and were currently waiting for him.

The journey back to the territory was a gloomy one, thanks to their mana pressure no monster dared to attack them, the rain had picked up however and it was currently pouring down. Tank decided to use his shields skill as the dome would keep the rain out.

Reign was lying on top of Fluffy while Adam’s body was put on the black lion, it was slightly larger than the golden one and as such, it was the better choice. In the end, they needed about 20 minutes to get back, as they entered the warehouse a couple of people stared at them in wonder as they could see the two bodies of Reign and Adam lying on the beasts. 𝗼𝐯𝐥.𝗻𝐭

Nobody was that concerned at first as they had already seen Reign unconscious before during the fight against the undead and everybody learned about it. But after seeing the heavy faces of Beast and the others they grew concerned and asked about what had happened.

After learning that Adam had died and that Reign overexerted himself during the fight against the commander they all had somber looks on their faces. All of them joined them downstairs and soon the whole city knew of what had transpired. Adam was one of the shining new stars and a lot of people had faith that he will become a strong player in the future. Learning that he was dead came as a shock and the streets were filled with people, all of them followed after Wolf and the others as they walked towards their building.

Upon arriving at the building they could see Elijah and the others waiting for them outside with Neil who had gone to tell them the news beforehand. Elijah had both of his hands clenched in fists as he looked at them while they approached. Upon seeing Adam’s motionless body on top of the lion he fell down on his knees and hit the ground multiple times while swearing.

Adam was his rival, the two would constantly bicker back and forth and would rarely see eye to eye, but the fact was that the two would always push each other as they strived to outperform each other.

Elijah was actually more talented compared to Adam, even without having an ability he was able to stand toe to toe with him, it was just the fact that Adam’s teleport ability was the bane of long-range attackers as he could easily dodge their attacks and get close to them.

Wolf and the other put Reign on his bed and Beast let Blackie stay with him in case something was to happen, following that they left the building and faced the huge crowd that had formed in front of it.
