Is this really a Game?!

"Well, I didn\'t do it by myself, to be honest, but yes, I\'m one of the people that killed him." Reign continued smiling as he slowly made his way toward the draif. The mana being released by him was like a whirlwind and even the ground was starting to crack a bit. The draif leader even had difficulty standing properly as he stared at Reign who was looking more like a boss monster than he was.

"He\'s actually pressuring a level 45 boss like it\'s nothing, is the first evolution really such a huge deal?" Elijah asked absent-mindedly as the others all nodded, even though they all knew that Reign and the others were powerful and that they would only grow in power after going through the first evolution, such a huge change was incredible.

"You have gone through an evolution." The draif said whilst looking at Reign with a complicated gaze. Just as humans and other races could, monsters as well could go through evolutions. Even though the draif was close to becoming a level 50 monster and getting the opportunity to go through an evolution, the difference between someone that has gone through it and someone that was close to it was huge.

Even though the leader was a boss-ranked monster and was much stronger compared to normal monsters at the same level, he was still unable to fight against Reign who was currently not only a couple of levels above him, but was also a Tier I fighter.

( Author: I decided to use Tier I for first evolution combatants, second evolution will be Tier II and so on, it\'s just annoying to constantly write first evolution combatant and I guess you guys would get annoyed by reading it constantly as well. )

"Correct my friend, so, what shall we do about you now?" Reign said as he stood about half a meter in front of the draif who had an ugly expression on his face. He knew that there was nothing that he could do against someone as powerful as Reign and he now cursed his indecisiveness between staying and leaving the area.

Suddenly the draif\'s expression changed as he kneeled down in front of Reign. The turn of events made Elijah and the others confused as they knew that the draif was a proud one and even back when it submitted to Azar it was because it was beaten to submission.

"Spare my life and I will follow you, along with the rest of my brethren." The draif said as Reign looked at him with a calm gaze. Reign took a step toward the draif while clenching his fist behind his back. As Reign came right in front of the draif the latter suddenly sprung up from the ground.

"As if I would ever submit to a measly human!"

The draif aimed at Reign\'s neck with his razor-sharp claws. Before he could reach Reign, however-

Bang!

Reign\'s fist reached him.

The lightning-covered fist plunged deep inside the draif\'s stomach before the latter was launched at the side of a nearby building. Before the draif could even move, Reign disappeared from the spot as black and white lightning coiled around him, in an instant he appeared before the draif and used his [ Lightning Fists ] ability.

Punch after punch connected with the draif in mere seconds, each of the punches didn\'t pack a lot of power, but they were still able to deal some damage. After about 100 punches Reign suddenly pulled his hand back before delivering the final punch which was many times more powerful compared to the rest.

The wall of the building was full of cracks and the place where the draif was caved in after the numerous attacks. The draif\'s face was swollen up and full of bruises, and the rest of the body was in no better shape.

The [ Lightning Fists ] skill was one that focused entirely on speed, but after the evolution Reign\'s strength was high enough to deliver great damage to his enemies even with such a light punch. Ashley and the others put their hands over their mouths as they watched the sight. The powerful boss that no group was able to fight against so far was being beaten up by Reign as if it was a weakling with no way to defend himself.

"Ahhh, that\'s better, well, I don\'t want to lose a possibly useful tool like you, so let\'s go back shall we?" Reign smiled as he suddenly put a pair of cuffs on the draif while chaining his wings together so that he couldn\'t fly away.

"These mana restricting things are really good, I should check if the elves or the old blacksmith can make some for us." Reign said as he put the unconscious body of the draif leader over his shoulder.

"So guys, let\'s go back home." Reign said as Elijah and the others simply nodded to him, stupefied by what had just happened. They were in a perilous situation, but in a matter of moments, Reign arrived and completely turned the tides. Not only did all the enemies run away the moment he arrived, but he managed to catch the leader that was able to run away from the other groups time and time again, not to mention the fact he did it so easily.

"Don\'t worry, after you guys go through the evolution you\'ll be able to do similar things." Reign joked as he patted Elijah and Ashley on the shoulder. The rest simply smiled weakly before starting their journey back to the safe zone. They knew that perhaps Elijah and Ashley would be able to become incredibly powerful, as for them, even though they were talented and powerful in their own right, they couldn\'t imagine coming close to the level of strength Reign and the rest of his team had.

It was a bit sad as they were amongst the most powerful teams in the territory and they had even participated in the challenge recently, even though they weren\'t able to win as the Ice Angels managed to take the number one spot. Neil and Cameron\'s teams also took part in the challenge and they managed to get good rankings as they were both in the top 10. Elijah\'s team however was still a bit lacking compared to them and was ranked 15th. Even though it wasn\'t a bad rank, when put in perspective, there were 25 teams participating in the challenge, and to be ranked 15th was them being in the middle of them all.

Not to mention that Elijah, Cameron, and the others were all able to hear the story of how the previous challenge went, to be more specific they heard the story of how Reign and the others completely dominated the challenge the first time. Some people however managed to find out that they were all part of the same territory as Reign and the others and soon all of the teams looked at them differently.

It was one thing for one incredibly powerful team to pop up, but following that, three more teams appeared from the same territory that was eligible for the challenge. Amongst all of the teams, there were only two that came from the same place, Elijah and the others were an anomaly, to say the least. Luckily for them, they weren\'t targeted or anything, all of the teams were still very apprehensive about offending Reign and the others so everyone played by the book.

Another event also took place while Reign was gone, different than last time however, there was no siege, instead, the part of Doncaster that wasn\'t in the safe zone was suddenly filled with monsters, for 3 hours straight the players needed to kill as many monsters as possible, if they managed to kill at least 50% then the event would be over if they failed however then the monsters would not only stay in the territory but portals would be spawned from which more monsters would come out from.

That would make Doncaster incredibly dangerous for even the strongest teams in the territory, but after they had fought for 3 hours, and especially after Greenie had joined for the final hour they managed to kill over 50% of the spawned monsters and clear the event.

After seeing Reign\'s power, however, they wondered just how powerful the others had gotten. Greenie had gone out and fought a couple of times, but he never used a great deal of power, and even during the event, he was alone and nobody was there to witness him fighting. The carnage he left in his path however was visible to all and they knew that the power Greenie possessed was immense.

After walking for about half an hour, the group managed to get back to the safe zone.
