Is this really a Game?!

Reign's fused arcs of light and darkness combined, creating a single arc that, at first glance, seemed to be a fusion of the previous two, but if one looked closer, they would find that the two powers were not combined, they were merely a millimeter away from one another, an invisible force, which was the power of both energies, keeping them apart.

And yet, this attack, this attempt at a fusion of two powers that were complete opposites of one another, proved to be incredibly powerful, perhaps more than any attack Reign had used in the past.

The combined power of his two powers slashed forward, cutting through more than half of the abomination's neck in an instant. One would expect more blood to spew out of the wound, but none did as it was either burned by the light or devoured by the darkness.

The abomination quickly moved, its healthy arm moving at an unnatural speed that was more than double what it previously was. It slapped Reign away, breaking him from his trance-like state during which he had managed to launch the attack and dealing some damage as he was sent flying for over 70 meters before stabilizing himself, blood trickling down his mouth as he stared at the monster.

He could see that his attack had quite the effect, and had the abomination not slapped him away, he would have definitely cut its head off a second later. The giant monster howled in agony as its head lolled to the side, the body struggling to maintain its balance as it was clear that the once-imposing creature was now on the very edge of collapse.

The damage to the legs was decent, but it was the damage the monster had suffered last, the deep gash on its neck that had nearly severed it, that was making it much weaker than it was. Reign stared at it, a bloodthirsty smile once again appearing on his face as he clenched his swords and charged forward once again.

He couldn't leave anything to chance, he had to capitalize on the opportunity as he knew that the monster, as seriously damaged as it was right now, could regenerate, it could heal even from such a wound, albeit slowly.

His immense power was channeled again as he charged, this time looking out for the arm of the giant monster as the previous slap had truly caught him off guard, not expecting the monster to be able to suddenly pour mana into its arm and make it even faster than it was before.

The abomination roared again, the voice a bit weaker as it was filled with pain, fury, and a bit of desperation that sounded akin to music in Reign's ears. It quickly moved its arms, trying to hit Reign, who was ready for them and was dodging, surprised to find that the attacks were slower than they were before.

'Was that something it could only do once?'

'Hmmm … it shouldn't be, but looking at the state of its arm, it seems like whatever it had done before was not something that could be done in a hurry, the damage the arm had suffered merely from the mana it had channeled through it is quite terrifying.' Reign thought as he dodged the other hand before relenting, striking the hand, drawing blood, and cutting deep before moving forward, toward the head.

The giant monster roared again from pain as it tried to strike Reign with its other arm, the hand of which had been cut neatly in half by Reign before, and of course, it missed him. Continue your saga on empire

Reign appeared in front of the neck in mere moments and stared at the giant as it stared down at him, its giant eyes showing the hate, but also slight fear that was present in it.

"Farewell." Reign said as he placed his swords on his waist, let go of them, before crossing his arms and grabbing them again, and then slashing.

[ Severing, Sword Two ]

[ Dual Slash ]

Once again, just as he had done before with the first sword of the severing series, Reign slashed with both, but he didn't get the same feeling as before, the slashes were not as powerful as that one, but it was enough.

The neck was already heavily damaged, and with him being so close to it, the battle was already won as there were multiple attacks he could have used to cut off the monster's head.

The neck fell down from the body, cleanly severed before Reign's eyes slightly widened and he disappeared from the shoulders of the giant monster and lunged down at it, two large lances, one white, and one black, appearing on his arms as he stabbed the head that was still falling down.

The lances pierced through the head, splitting it apart as lightning, which was boosted by light and darkness, decimated the brain that was inside of it. Furthermore, there was something else it had also destroyed, the remnant soul and consciousness of the abomination.

"Tch, that was close, you damned bastard." Reign said as he glanced down before quickly speeding off in the distance, making his way toward Beast and Laura, who were closest to him.

The reason he had attacked the head so suddenly was because he felt the abomination's mana fluctuate, and its body twitch for a moment.

He quickly realized that even with its head cut off, the monster was still not fully dead, a bit of its soul and consciousness had actually stayed alive in the head, and from how the mana was behaving inside its body, Reign was certain that the monster was about to blow itself up, attempting to take Reign down with it.

He had used all four of its abilities in that last attack, including his soul power in order to quickly extinguish the soul present in the head and truly kill the monster.

As he flew toward Beast and Laura, who were battling the abomination together with Beast's tamed monsters, the flood dragon and the wyvern attacked the abomination from above while slaughtering any flying monster that dared come close to them, while Blackie was not present as Beast had already fused with him, Reign also observed the others.

Wolf was currently locked in a fierce struggle with another leader of the abominations, his draconic form covered in purple flames as he unleashed all of them on the monster, his attacks devastating.

Mia was helping out by using her frost, and although their two abilities were complete opposites and were clashing against one another, sometimes weakening each other's attacks, they were also doing their best to try and combine them.

They did that a couple of times during the battle, using the great control they had over their powers to keep them next to one another and then attempting to fuse them before launching them at the abomination and letting go of the control.

That would result in the two opposite powers clashing and then exploding in a brilliant, yet earth-shattering way, dealing heavy damage to the abomination.

Luckily, they were battling against the largest monster on the battlefield, which allowed them to be away from one another so that their powers wouldn't weaken the other often.

The abomination they were fighting was a large lizard-like creature that had the head of a lion, a tail that was a viper, and a scaled body with four large and powerful legs that were covered in thick fur that seemed to be in no way weaker than the scales, and could move incredibly quickly.

It was about 25 meters tall, and its body was over 60 meters long. It was a monstrosity like no other on the battlefield, and even with the combined powers of Wolf, Mia, Tank, and Greenie, the battle was a difficult one.

Jin, Aelrinder, and Shadow were fighting another abomination, and their powers were not doing that well against it. Jin and Aelrinder's combined strength created a storm of explosions and wind that tore through the battlefield. Shadow, turning elusive again, was darting in and out of the fray, his daggers gleaming as he struck with lethal precision.

The creature they were fighting against was massive as well, shorter, but wider than the one Reign had just defeated. It looked a bit like a gorilla, and its thick hide seemed nearly impervious to attacks. Because of that, however, the monster was slow, it couldn't do anything to the trio, but the three men were also finding it difficult to do much damage to it as well.

Still, with Shadow coating his daggers with his darkness, making the darkness and shadows turn solid and his daggers to be about 2.5 meters long, he was able to pour his darkness into the monster multiple times, attacking it from within, which proved to be incredibly effective.

Aelrinder and Jin had thus decided that they would focus on dealing as much damage to the body of the monster, breaking through the tough hide, while Shadow would be in charge of hitting those areas and pouring more of his darkness inside the monster in order to weaken it further.

And then, there were Beast and Laura.
