Is this really a Game?!

"I'm going to find out where you came from and I am going to kill everybody that you care about as well."

"I will keep your soul alive and have you watch as I slaughter every single person that you have ever cared about, I will make you beg me to kill you, I will-"

"Shut up maybe, you're really annoying, you know?" Reign asked as he sighed before spinning his swords around him.

"All that strength and you have no idea how to use it, so many innocent people killed for what, for you to level up and boost your stats?"

"You've killed hundreds of innocent people already, probably even thousands, and this is all you have to show for it?"

"If it was me, I would probably kill myself out of embarrassment." Reign said with a smile before charging at the enraged Amanda.

Her halberd swung at Reign with incredible speed, only for Reign to dodge the attack and reach Amanda.

"All you have is raw power, no finesse, no experience." Reign said as stabbed Amanda in the stomach with one of his swords before punching her.

Reign then let go of his swords before grabbing Amanda's hair. With his free hand, he started punching her in the head repeatedly as lightning exploded from his fist with each strike. The [ Lightning Fists ] skill was one that Reign didn't use often, but in this case, even though there were other skills that he could have used which would have been more efficient and powerful, he decided to use them.

The reason was simple, he didn't just want to defeat Amanda, but humiliate her and make her feel worthless.

The reason for doing so?

Because he truly did feel sick by what she had done in the city. He wasn't a messiah, he was no hero that wanted to save the weak and innocent, he had already knowingly sacrificed his own people back when the enemy was planning on attacking Doncaster, but he would never kill innocent people just to become stronger.

The very thought of it infuriated him, so he wanted to thoroughly humiliate Amanda and show her that everything she had done so far was for nothing, even after managing to increase her stats and level so much, she was still too weak to face somebody like him.

"ENOUGH!" Amanda yelled out, pouring more mana and soul power into the shout this time and once again hurting her own people as well as Wolf and the others, but it seemingly didn't even faze Reign who was already ready for it and was defending with the souls he commanded.

Still, her frequent use of soul attacks was making it a bit difficult for Wolf and the others to fight against the enemies since the heads were unaffected by it, Tank had even summoned his four generals who were all mid-grade Tier IV combatants now, which alleviated a bit of the pressure.

They were slowly but surely getting an advantage over the enemies, but each time Amanda used her soul power to shout, it would disrupt their offense and would make the two sides even again.

Reign still continued punching her, and in merely 5 seconds, Amanda had suffered over 100 punches, and they were still not stopping. Her face was no longer recognizable, the bones in her face were broken, and the skin and flesh had been both burned and turned into mush while her eyes were slowly starting to pop out of the sockets.

It was only when Amanda finally managed to punch Reign with her free arm before slashing down with her halberd that Reign was forced to jump back. He immediately used the power that Eisenhorn had taught him to will his sword back to his hands, opening a hole in Amanda's body.

Her face slowly started healing, but compared to before, her healing factor was noticeably slower.

"See, even with all the stats you managed to gain from drinking the potions, even though you are a higher level than me, you're nothing, a weakling that doesn't even know how to utilize her strength correctly, a bully that only knows to fight against the weak." Reign said with a venomous smile on his face.

"The Butcher, the scary baddie that rules the city, hmph, merely a little girl that got drunk of her own power and thought she was hot shit, you're nothing, you're worthless, not worthy of my time at all."

"I should have just gathered all of my men and attacked you, you and your little gangs would have been unable to withstand us for even a single second, but here I thought that the enemy might be really powerful and dangerous, so I only came here to find more information, and even with our low numbers, we're still enough to destroy you, you're laughable." 

Reign continued taunting and humiliating Amanda whose anger only grew. She knew that Reign wasn't completely wrong, she did get complacent and hadn't been fighting much recently, only relying on the potions to grow her strength without suffering any side effects.

That truly made her fighting capabilities lower compared to how they used to be.

"You're right, I should have been a bit more careful, so I have to thank you, without you coming here to remind me that raw power isn't everything, I would have continued doing this." Amanda suddenly said while she smiled. 

"To thank you, I shall not kill you, but imprison you and have you watch as I take over every single territory nearby before conquering this world as well!" Amanda said with a shout before blood suddenly started flowing out of her body.

Suddenly, one of her arms changed, it turned to gray goo before morphing into a 3-meter-long claw, but that was not all as Amanda's entire body was suddenly changing. Mana started flowing out of control, and even this floor, which was reinforced by multiple arrays, making it possible for even Tier IV combatants to battle here without destroying it, started shaking.

"What the hell?"

"Kid, she's evolving, stop her!" Aethion suddenly shouted out, making Reign's eyes open wide.

The gap between himself and Amanda was great, but that was in terms of experience and fighting techniques, she was the one with superior stats, and if she managed to evolve, she would be able to suppress Reign and perhaps even beat him.

Suddenly, Amanda's body changed completely, no longer was she the attractive young woman from before, but a mass of gray goo that had a humanoid form. The goo was constantly moving and changing, and from inside, Reign could hear Amanda talking.

"I shall become stronger than ever before, I will make sure to kill you after this, I promise you that!"

Suddenly, a pillar of mana exploded around Amanda, blasting through the roof of the building. Her body had started changing as the evolution was underway. But compared to the evolutions that Reign and the others had, this one was different, it was more violent than theirs.

After all, Amanda had done something that went against the world, mana itself was what made up everything in the universe, and the punishment for making and consuming the potions was that her evolution was more difficult and dangerous than a normal one. That was why Amanda wanted to take more potions even though she was already at the maximum level for her Tier, she just wanted to gain more stats in order to pass the evolution more easily. 

Reign charged at Amanda and attacked, only to be blasted away by the pillar of mana. Wolf and the others saw how dangerous the situation was getting, so they used their marks and were fighting with their full force, being more aggressive than before, but their enemies were doing the same.

Even though the others were shocked to find just what their boss was, they knew that if they didn't fight back with everything they had, they would be finished, while the heads didn't care and were doing everything in their power to defeat Wolf and the others.

Reign started utilizing everything he had in order to attack Amanda, but the pillar of mana was too strong and he was barely making a ripple. His darkness was the most effective, but even that was unable to penetrate deep enough to hit Amanda or disrupt the evolution.

"Dammit, if this continues, she will soon reach Tier V!"

"You need to disrupt the evolution any way you can, that will make it more difficult for her to evolve, and even if she does, she will be weaker and injured, making it possible for you to defeat her."

Reign took a deep breath before calming down. He was already prepared to use everything he had during this battle, so this, even though it made it more difficult, was still not to the point of making things hopeless.

He suddenly grew in size while a pair of wings, one black and one white sprouted from his back. With his transformation finished, Reign looked at Amanda before charging once again and attacking her.
