Is this really a Game?!

“Why leaving so soon little ones, we haven’t even had a drink together.” The other Tier VII demon said with a smirk on his face as he stared at Reign and the others.

Around 40 demons were currently surrounding them, and out of the 40, 2 were Tier VII, 4 were Tier VI, and the rest were all Tier V, including the two region leaders who were in this region.

“Impossible.” Reign said as the demons all chuckled at them before one of the Tier VII demons suddenly lifted his finger before flickering it.

Bang!

As if a cannonball had landed, a dust cloud rose as Reign and the others glanced back, only to see Alistair, as well as 6 other Tier IVs on the ground, dead.

Reign’s eyes widened as he quickly used his soul manipulation to grab their souls, but he was too late as one of the Tier VI demons did it before him, and his power and control over souls were much more powerful than theirs.

The entire group was frozen in fear as the demons all laughed, but Reign was able to notice that some were acting much more ‘free’ than others.

‘Are the Tier VIIs from their tribe?’

Right now, nobody had time to grieve over the death of Alistair and the other 6, the situation they had found themselves in was simply far too dangerous.

“Nothing is impossible little human, just like how you arrived here from another world, we were able to arrive as well.”

“Of course, learning of that all and getting the opportunity to arrive was thanks to that artifact you have stolen, so I will have to ask you to give it back to its rightful owners now.” The Tier VII that had killed Alistair and the others said with a smirk as Reign and the others narrowed their eyes and got ready to fight.

Even though the situation in front of them was one that was impossible to overcome, no matter how hard they tried, in the worst-case scenario, they could all overload their mana cores and make sure to take most of the demons present with them.

“Tch, still not listening?” The other Tier VII asked in a chilling voice before he suddenly disappeared, a powerful wind suddenly blowing past Reign and the others as screams of pain were heard behind them as the demon appeared in the middle of the ground.

Multiple people were down on the ground, cut in half, and in his hands was Siggurd who was struggling and trying to break free.

“Release him!” Basred shouted before using his shockwave, but it was akin to a breeze to the demon who simply smirked before clenching his hand, breaking Siggurd’s neck and killing him before disappearing again and showing up above them, next to the other Tier VII.

“I shall give you one more chance, give up the artifact, or we will kill you all in the most painful way imaginable.”

“And if we give it to you, what will you do, spare our lives?” Reign asked with a sneer as he glanced at the demons.

“Of course not, I shall only give you a quick and painless death.” The demon said while chuckling as the other one shook his head and smirked.

“What has happened below has already been explained by the spirit to us, to think he would be so loyal to our tribe to actually sacrifice himself in order to give us the message.” The demons said before uttering a sigh.

“You humans who had dared take possession of an artifact that belongs to our tribe, forcing the spirit to die in the process, shall be tortured for millions of years as punishment for such crimes.”

‘Belonging to their tribe?’

‘The spirit sacrificed itself in order to give a message?’

‘As if I would believe that, the spirit probably made that up in order to rile them up and be certain that they would come here and kill us before taking the artifact!’ Reign sneered in his head as he glanced at the demons, fully aware that they had been tricked, but that didn’t help him or the others at all.

In such a short period of time, they had actually lost slightly over 20 men as the second Tier VII had killed over 10 people before killing Siggurd.

Basred and the others were staring at the demons with hatred and fury, but they knew that there was nothing to be done, as did the guardians who were with them. The guardians were on guard against the demons, but they also knew full well that it was impossible for them to go against them.

“Time is up, it seems you have chosen to do it the hard way.” The Tier VII demon said as he prepared to flick his finger, only to suddenly stop as everybody glanced at the left side, where a monster had suddenly appeared.

It was a tall white horse that had flames coming out of his body. The demons all stared at the horse as the aura of a Tier VI monster could be felt from him.

“A nuisance, get rid of it.” The demon told the Tier VI demons who nodded at him before he flicked his finger, sending another shockwave at Reign and the others.

They were fully prepared to meet the attack, ready for some of them to die from it, only for a tall figure to appear in front of them, blocking the attack with ease.

The sound of nails being scrapped on a blackboard was heard as the monster moved its mouth and spoke to the demons, causing even the Tier VIIs to be on guard.

Draped in flowing, silken robes that seemed to be woven from the very fabric of the universe, the monster merely stood in front of Reign and the others, his familiar figure making them all widen their eyes in disbelief as the demons got ready for a battle.

Suddenly, the air around the area froze as even the two Tier VII demons showed an expression of fear as a shadow was cast from behind them.

The sound of an engine roaring was heard behind the demons as the powerful monster, a Tier VIII monster, growled at them before it suddenly moved. The two demons were suddenly caught by two powerful hands without having the opportunity to even dodge before the nightmarish Tier VIII monster that Reign and the others had previously met in the dungeon opened its mouth and roared at them.

It then proceeded to slam them against the ground while jumping around the area, causing the ground to shake as if an earthquake had appeared.

Elyndor, the Tier VII monster, suddenly moved as well. Gray wings suddenly appeared on its back as he glanced at the four Tier VI demons, causing them all to tremble as a terrifying aura spread from him.

The horse didn’t simply stand and do nothing either. It charged forward with incredible speed, arriving at the demons and proceeding to slaughter the Tier V demons with its immense power.

The nightmare of a Tier VIII monster was still the one that dealt the most damage as he suddenly flung one of the Tier VII demons to the side, causing the half-broken body of the demon to crash against other demons who were Tier V.

It suddenly opened its mouth, spreading its poisonous gas before a click was suddenly heard and the gas was lit on fire. The flames enveloped the Tier VII, as well as the other demons, and burned them with incredible efficiency.

And just like that, a group of 18 Tier V demons, together with a Tier VII, died. .𝘯𝘵

Elyndor took care of the Tier VI demons and slaughtered a couple of Tier V demons while the horse eliminated the rest of the Tier Vs.

It only took them 2 minutes.

Two minutes was all that was needed for the three monsters to kill a group of 40 demons that had 2 Tier VII beings in their ranks, a group that had made Reign and the others feel completely powerless.

And the worst thing was the fact that the three monsters were not even fighting seriously.

Suddenly, as the final demon fell down to the ground, the area descended into complete silence as Reign and the others stared at the monsters, who were now staring at them.

The horse moved first, appearing in front of Reign and the others in an instant before it licked Reign, showing them all that it meant no harm.

“Could it be … they’re still under the influence of the artifact?” Basred asked as he knew that the only reason they had survived the first encounter with these monsters was because they were made by the artifact.

“No, we are not influenced by that thing.”

The group froze as Elyndor opened his mouth and spoke in a human voice, one that sounded ancient.

“You can talk?” Reign asked as he stared at Elyndor who was walking over to them with calm steps.
