Is this really a Game?!

“What are you trying to do, you bastard?!” The soul shouts at Reign who uses his ability in order to slowly corrode the connection that the leader and the base had. The chaos energy had already done a lot of damage to the thread that connected the two, and Reign only need to slowly integrate his own soul with the core before attempting to get it to connect to him and not the leader.

He was tempting the core, showing that the connection it had with the leader was not a good one and that it was only a matter of time before it would get destroyed. With the leader being incredibly weak now, there was little he could do, and thankfully for Reign and the others the leader did not in fact remember anything nor did it have a single tactic it could employ in order to stop Reign.

The chaos energy that was inside the sword, even though formed a bond with the leader, was still not something that the leader could so easily manipulate. Getting the chaos energy out and attacking with it was easy, it was after all a sort of energy that was made for destruction and it was easy to use it in such a manner.

It was the opposite that was difficult. After the chaos energy was already out and was used for battle, it would be highly difficult for one to force the energy back into the sword, and even the leader was unable to do a thing to stop the corrosion that the chaos energy was causing in the ball of light.

With all of that in mind, the soul knew that what Reign was doing was not good for it. It could sense that the connection it had with the base was growing weaker, but thanks to the fact that the thread connecting the core and the soul was being damaged and the fact that the ball of light that acted as an important part of the core was being disrupted by the chaos energy, the soul could do nothing to stop Reign, nothing at all.

“You bastard, stop it, this is mine, I remember now, this place is mine, stop it, stop!!” The soul shouted in anger as it stared at Reign before using what little control over chaos energy it had to send it out toward Reign who looked at the soul in wonder.

‘It can already control the chaos energy this much, it really will be of great help to Wolf if he can completely tame this soul.’ Reign thought before using his light and darkness manipulation to create a shield created of light and darkness that were constantly moving around and clashing.

The chaos energy slammed against the shield and the light and darkness suddenly stopped and made something similar to a yin and yang symbol on the shield before defending against the chaos energy and pushing it back.

Even with how volatile and powerful chaos energy was, the amount that the soul could manipulate was little and it could barely do anything to Reign with such a meager amount of chaos energy.

Reign continued using his soul manipulation to try and get the core to form a connection with him, only to suddenly be shocked as the thread connecting the core and the leader’s soul was gone.

Instead of it, there was a new thread, one that was much larger and that connected Reign with the core.

“What, what happened?” Reign asked as the soul started shouting and cursing Reign from behind, only to be ignored completely by him.

Reign looked at the core before Wolf took the sword back, with the connection between the soul and the core gone, there was no need for the chaos energy to still be present, disrupting the core and not allowing it to function properly.

“Why?” Reign asked himself out loud as he looked around himself.

The core had shown no reaction to him or Wolf previously, even when he used his soul manipulation and attacked the thread, it did nothing. And yet, suddenly, it just severed the connection it had with the leader by itself before attaching itself to Reign.

“Is it because of the shield I created?” Reign asked as he looked back at the shield of light and darkness he had created previously in order to defend against the chaos energy.

Upon looking at the shield, Reign’s eyes widened as he was able to see the bright light of the ball covering the shield and seemingly inspecting it in wonder.

Suddenly, without any warning, spatial energy burst out from inside the ball of light and covered Reign. In a mere moment, he was gone from the control room.

“Where am I?” Reign asked himself as he looked around the area he was located at.

It was a cave, one that was incredibly large in scope, with a ceiling that was over 80 meters high, the cave was hundreds, if not thousands of meters in length, how large it was exactly, Reign did not know.

The cave was dark, the only source of light that was present was a single ray of light that came through a crack in the ceiling. That was where Reign was currently located at. He didn’t move, he was completely unable to sense anything from the darkness around him, the cave was covered in darkness, and even he who could manipulate it, could not see through it.

Trying to use his darkness manipulation did nothing and Reign even used his light manipulation to create a ball of light, but it barely made things better.

The ball of light did help him out, but only for a little bit as it only lit up a couple of meters ahead, which was almost nothing.

Reign gulped before creating multiple balls of light and tossing one away, only to suddenly feel the hairs on the back of his neck straighten as cold sweat went down his back. The ball of light went ahead, and for a very brief moment, Reign thought he could see some shapes before the ball was suddenly extinguished.

‘Monsters, and powerful ones, incredible powerful ones.’ Reign thought as he extinguished the other balls of light and took out his swords.

He was certain that that was what he felt when he threw the ball of light at the darkness. There were monsters present there, and they were probably more powerful than him.

‘Relax, they won’t do a thing.’ Aethion suddenly said from inside Reign as the latter still looked around himself with a panicked expression.

“How can you be so sure?”

‘Because you have been invited here, don’t you think it would be very rude for someone to invite a person over and not be able to guarantee your safety?’ Aethion asked Reign who was still confused.

‘Haaa, look ahead, will you?’ Aethion asked Reign who did as he was asked to, only to see a person standing right where the ray of light was located at.

Reign went toward the person, only to be surprised by how the person looked like.

A triangular head that was narrow at the start with four ears and 5 eyes was looking at him. There was no nose from what Reign could see, while the mouth of the alien was pretty much the same as a human’s, hell, even the teeth that were visible after the alien smiled at Reign looked the same as a human’s.

What surprised Reign the most, however, were the clothes and gadgets that the alien had. There were goggles that covered four of its eyes, and Reign could see numbers and letters appearing on them, but he was unable to read them.

The suit the alien wore looked like something that came straight out of a sci-fi movie and there was even a sword that looked incredibly high-tech next to the alien.

” ######%%%%%” The alien suddenly spoke to Reign, but the latter was unable to understand a single thing.

“I-I don’t understand, sorry.” Reign said in slight confusion.

‘Hey, system, shouldn’t you be automatically translating this?’ Reign asked, but he got no answer from the system.

‘Yo, what’s wrong, why aren’t you answering?’ Reign asked before trying to get his status screen up, only for that to not work as well.

‘What in the world is happening?’

“Reign, it seems you have arrived at a place where the system is not allowed to enter,” Aethion said as Reign stared at the alien in wonder before opening his mouth.

“You have to let the system in, I can’t understand you like this, not without the translator that the system gives me.”

The alien merely stared at Reign with a smile as the latter continued talking and talking, and talking.

“Ah, seems like no matter what I do, you won’t be able to understand me, great, just great.” Reign said as he sighed and stared at the alien, only for his eyes to suddenly widen in surprise. 𝙚𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

“Analysis complete, language learned.” A small device on the alien said before the latter opened its mouth.

“Hello, apologies for the delay, our translator had some issues.”
