418 Fight on the Mountain and the Third Sword

Bang!

Clang!

Swish

A fierce battle was taking place on a mountain as about 24 Tier I ash demons fought fiercely against a group of humans. Spells and arrows were thrown around as the surroundings got destroyed by the fierce power behind them.

Fighting against the 24 Tier I ash demons were a group of 10 humans, an elf, an ogre, and 6 Tier I beasts. Even though they were outnumbered, the human group was currently suppressing the demons and dealt more damage compared to what they received.

The demons weren't easy prey however as they fought fearlessly against the enemy. Compared to the humans, not only did they have more people, but they had more long-range attackers which allowed them to help out their brethren during dangerous situations.

It was however all for naught, the demons knew it as they were clearly outmatched by the enemy that was similar in level to them. They couldn't run away as 3 of the enemies were much faster than them, that was something they learned the hard way.

At the very beginning of the battle, the demons were quite confident that they would easily defeat the enemy group that only had 8 members, but upon noticing their strength and the ability to summon more people, the demons wanted to call for reinforcements in order to deal with them.

One demon was sent to go to their base and call for backup, only for one of the humans to suddenly disappear from the spot and the sound of a body falling being heard. Upon looking in the direction where the demon was sent, the demons were shocked to find Shadow who had teleported behind him and killed him.

Reign and Aelrinder also burst out at full speed as they made sure that the demons couldn't send any more people to call for reinforcements while Shadow teleported back and fought against the enemy with them.

The demons had to grit their teeth and fight against them as they knew that most would definitely die if they tried to escape. The enemy would also move from the location and they would probably be unable to find them.

Even though the demons could see that the battle was going bad so far and that fleeing would be the only way some could survive, none however wanted to be the first to flee as they knew that they would be targeted first for sure.

Nobody wanted to die, even the ash demons that could revive after death didn't want to experience that as they would lose most of the progress they had gotten in this new world.

As time passed, however, the first casualty appeared. Reign had managed to slip under the attacks of two of the demons and stab a third straight through the throat. The demon was chanting a spell and was quite certain that Reign wouldn't be able to attack him as he was dealing with two enemies at the same time.

His thoughts proved to be wrong, however, as Reign managed to pass through the two with incredible grace as their swords barely missed his body.

As one sword pierced through the demon's throat, Reign quickly poured his mana in the other one before delivering a backhand slash behind him without even glancing at the demons.

[ Severing, Sword Three ]

The third move from the severing style was one that focused on delivering a fast and powerful attack within the fastest possible time frame. Compared to the first two moves, it didn't possess the great power as the first one, nor the incredible speed of the slash that the second one possessed, but the attack could be done much faster and didn't need a lot of mana to be used.

Reign struggled to learn the move, each of the moves he learned was progressively becoming harder to learn, and right now, Reign could only use about 20% of the full power of the third sword.

When Jack learned that Reign had managed to master the second move and create a skill by modifying it, he taught him the third sword before entering his quarters and staying there for a whole week.

Reign was incredibly pleased with his progress in learning the severing style and couldn't wait to learn all of the moves that Jack knew, only for cold water to be poured on him when Jack told him that only the first five moves could be learned during the leveling phase while the latter ones could only be learned by Transcendents and above.

Reign was interested in why that was so, but Jack refused to elaborate and told him that he will understand once he reaches the Transcendent realm.

One thing that Reign didn't know was the fact that Jack had locked himself up in order to train. Upon seeing how Reign was learning the moves with ridiculous speed, he knew that he had to train even harder than before in order to be able to teach Reign anything in the future.

"Damn!"

"Fcking!"

"Geniuses!"

Jack cursed as he trained in a special underground building that had been constructed below the castle. He could unleash everything he had here and the walls wouldn't even get a scratch on them.

Eldar went down once in order to check what Jack was doing, only to quickly get out once he heard Jack cursing like that. He almost burst out laughing the moment he saw Jack because he knew that this was the reaction most of Jack's fellow students had back when he started studying under his teacher.

"To think I would hear such words from that guy, hahaha hahaha!" Eldar spent about 30 minutes in his office laughing before calming himself and continuing to work on whatever he was doing in the office.

The attack from Reign came unexpectedly and the two demons quickly raised their swords in front of them in order to block the attack. Even though the attack seemed to be done hastily, it packed quite a punch and the two were forced back a couple of steps from it.

One thing that suddenly changed the whole battlefield was what Reign did next, however. He raised his hand in the air as a formless being of energy was being held in it. The being was of course the soul of the demon he had just slain.

Upon seeing him take and devour the soul of their brethren, the demons suddenly became incredibly fearful. They previously didn't want to flee, but upon seeing how they would be completely destroyed by Reign who was able to devour their very souls, they quickly glanced at each other before scattering.

The demons ran in all directions, no demon was close to each other as they wanted to maximize the distance between them in order to make it difficult for Reign and the others to hunt them down.

What they didn't expect, however, was what happened next.

Bam!

Three demons were caught off guard by sudden attacks from nearby.

Three groups suddenly showed up and fought the isolated demons, each group fighting against one each.

The groups were the two strongest groups from Reign's territory and the royal guard of the elves.

All the members of the groups had managed to reach Tier I a while ago, and Reign and the others wanted to show them what a battle between high-level Tier I fighters looked like.

Of course the chance to fight a high-level, but tired and wounded Tier I opponent was also a good thing for each of the groups as it would force them to go all out.

If any of the members of any group were put in danger, then Shadow, who was standing close to them, would teleport and help them out, luckily there seem to be no need for that right now.

As Shadow watched over the two groups that were fighting the three demons, Reign and the others were hunting down the rest of the demons. None of them had truly gone all out previously since they wanted the three groups to see just how the demons fought in order for them to have an easier time in the future.

As Reign and the others exploded with their full strength and speed, the demons were quickly overtaken and forced to fight, only to find, with great horror, that the enemy they had just fought against was more powerful than before.

Reign took on the two demons that had previously blocked his attack. The two were right next to each other and decided to flee together in order to try and make it safer a bit. Unfortunately for them, not only was Reign much faster than the two of them, but his power had also increased as he wasn't holding back in the slightest anymore.

His black and white lightning coiled around him as he stabbed one demon in the leg and shocked him with his lightning, making it almost impossible for the demon to move. The other demon was barely able to exchange 5 moves with Reign before his head was cut off with one clean swing from Reign.

The battle had finished with zero casualties for Reign and the others who joined the three groups that had managed to kill a demon each.
