Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 916 Quin's Intervention

?Quin, the figure who had intervened in the chaotic situation, grinned at Raziel. His appearance shifted from the ominous mist to that of a young man with black hair and piercing blue eyes. His attire was casual yet exuded an air of confidence that suggested a deep understanding of his own power.

The first student of The Immortal, the one that many knew of as "The Angel of Death'.

He was the one who had been spectating the planet, observing Reign, and was the one who finally intervened when things became too chaotic.

Raziel, still maintaining his stoic demeanor, sighed as he glanced at Quin. "Your methods are as unconventional as ever, Quin, was this truly necessary?"

Quin shrugged, a nonchalant expression on his face. "Necessary?"

"Perhaps not."

"Enjoyable?"

"Absolutely."

"Besides, it's been a while since I had some excitement, I think it was about 6000 years ago when I had fought against somebody, this was a bit fun," Quin said as he glanced at Reign.

"And here I thought you had gone off to comprehend what we talked about, to try and improve yourself even further," Raziel said as Quin chuckled.

"Come on teacher, we both know that you were well aware of my actions from the very beginning, I know better than to think I can escape your observant eye, at least not yet."

"So, what do you think of him?" Raziel asked Quin who sighed.

"He honestly does remind me a bit of me, at least this wild side of his reminds me of myself when it comes to his behavior when he is normal, he's more akin to Aioel, just a bit more confident when talking to his elders."

"But this darkness inside of him, I haven't seen anything quite like this before, I see why you are so interested in him, why he is the … I better not speak of that here, huh?" Quin asked as he scratched the back of his head as he noticed Raziel's piercing eyes staring at him.

"But hey, is he really a Nephilim, I mean, I can sense that he is, and yet, he definitely does feel different as well."

"On the other hand, you wouldn't have waited for so long if he was just like all of us, right?" Quin asked with a smile on his face before walking over to Reign, who, although no longer had the darkness and black lightning around him, was still not back to normal.

"There's still some influence on him," Quin said as he crouched in front of Reign, only for the latter to suddenly lunge at him with a bestial roar.

He was forced to crash on the ground without Quin moving a single finger. The ground caved in slightly as Quin continued observing him.

"Yeah, in his current state, he really does remind me of myself when I was young."

"Not willing to face defeat, becoming angry whenever a person stronger than himself arrives, it's almost like looking in the mirror."

"Except the fact that, you know, I'm more handsome than he is."

Raziel sighed and shook his head at Quin and his words.

"I think you haven't changed that much at all, Quin."

"Hey, I have!" Quin said as he glanced back at Raziel with a tearful expression.

"I'm now much stronger, so I don't get angry when facing those more powerful than me, because they barely even exist in the universe."

"Ouch!" Quin rubbed his forehead as a spectral finger suddenly appeared and flicked it, causing a red spot to appear on it.

"You know you don't count!" Quin said with a grin as he continued rubbing his forehead.

"But seriously though, what do we do, do we bring him back so that we can try and dispel the influence, I mean, even now, when he is obviously much weaker than me, he is still resisting."

"His power has now reached Tier VII, and it's still rising."

"If this continues, his body will break down from the sheer power it possesses."

"Don't worry, it will pass soon," Raziel told Quin who nodded at him.

"Let him move."

Quin released the hold he had over Reign, and the latter immediately lunged at him again.

Quin did nothing but stand, and Reign started pummeling him with his fists.

Each strike shook the mountain and caused cracks to appear in the cavern. A couple of seconds of such strikes would be enough to destroy the entire mountain, and after a couple of seconds, that happened.

The mountain crashed down, breaking into thousands of boulders, but the area they were in was safe and nobody was hurt. Quin was the one who had made it so, but even with all of that happening, Reign didn't stop attacking him.

"You know, this is slowly getting on my nerves," Quin said as his lips started twitching from the annoyance he felt.

After all, he was amongst the most powerful beings in the universe, and he was being attacked by a brethren of his, a Nephilim that was only at the peak of Tier V.

To be honest, if Quin wasn't holding back and had almost all of his power sealed inside of him, his mere presence would have been enough to pulverize Reign, as well as a good portion of the two kingdoms.

His breath alone could move the entire planet, and yet, a being of such power was now standing calmly and letting Reign attack it as much as he wished.

A couple of seconds later, however, Quin raised an eyebrow as he noticed something.

"Oh, I see now, so that's how it is."

"Incredible, he truly is a unique one."

"I didn't even know such a thing could exist," Quin said as Raziel nodded his head.

Reign's attacks got slower and slower, his aggression lessened and his power started waning. Soon, he was barely able to keep standing, and the influence that darkness within had was gone.

"What, what happened?" Reign asked as he glanced around him before looking at Quin.

He had no idea who the young man in front of him was, but he felt a sense of familiarity and warmth coming from him.

Before he could say anything more, he suddenly closed his eyes and collapsed, only for Quin to catch him and slowly place him down on the ground.

"Things are going to get interesting soon, I just hope he doesn't take long to become powerful," Quin said before flying up and suddenly spreading his wings before disappearing from sight.

The act of spreading his wings itself caused a shockwave that actually did circles around the planet multiple times before dissipating, luckily, he had done it high up and didn't cause any damage.

"I've done what you asked, I expect to find a reward waiting for me later, don't follow me though, I still dislike you," Quin told the system before erasing his very presence.

The cavern, now devoid of the intense energy that had filled it moments ago, seemed to return to a state of calm. The collapsed mountain above was merely a testament to the power that had been unleashed within. Raziel, still observing the aftermath, let out a soft sigh.

As the dust settled, Reign slowly opened his eyes. His surroundings were unfamiliar, and the memories of what had transpired were like fragmented pieces of a dream. He felt a strange mixture of exhaustion and clarity. Attempting to rise, he found himself sore and weakened.

He glanced down at his body, only to find it in a miserable state. His skin had cracked in many places, and his bones had broken as well, each movement he made caused immense pain to assault him.

"You're awake," a calm voice spoke, and Reign looked inwardly to see his copy staring at him calmly.

"Let me guess, you're here to tell me you had nothing to do with what just transpired?" Reign asked the copy who shook his head and chuckled.

"No, but you are correct to assume that, I did nothing except observe."

"You did well to shake yourself off from the influence, I was going to intervene and help you out, but that being seemingly knew what to do."

"Who … who was that?" Reign asked as he remembered the black-haired young man he had seen before losing consciousness.

"A Nephilim, one much more powerful than you are." The copy said as Reign understood why he felt a sense of familiarity from him.

"He was the one that came and saved you and the others."

"It seems the system had pleaded with him, there is a possibility he was observing you as well, after all, that is how it goes when a new Nephilim is found, the Immortal Army will send one or two Nephilims to observe the new one, to make sure he doesn't fall."

"You were close to falling, only a bit was needed for you to succumb and lose yourself."

"Hmmm, it seems the two kingdoms have finally sent people over, rest now, your body is in no state to move." The copy said before snapping his fingers and making Reign lose consciousness.
