Is this really a Game?!

The tall man stumbled back, holding his bleeding nose, his eyes filled with rage. He swung his fist at Reign, but Reign easily dodged the attack and delivered a swift punch to the man's gut, knocking the wind out of him.

He then proceeded to kick the man with a powerful sidekick, sending him flying to the side, the blood from his nose leaving a trail in the air.

"Ah, my apologies, I forgot to introduce myself." Reign said with a smile as he stared at the tall man who was getting up, his red mana flaring and rising high as he took out his sword and stared at Reign with murderous intent.

"My name is Reign, this man, Jin, is someone who I regard as an uncle."

"Oh, also." Reign moved to the side, evading a powerful slash from the tall man that split the ground in half.

"I'm a member, and well, pretty much the leader, of the Heaven's Hooligans."

With those words, Reign punched the tall man with his fist infused with lightning, striking him before he was able to even notice the attack and sending him crashing toward the wall.

"The leader … of the Heaven's Hooligans?" The thin man gulped as he glanced at Reign who glanced at him and smiled.

"Are you sure it's smart to be looking away during a battle?" Reign asked the thin man whose eyes widened as he suddenly felt the mana in front of him move.

He quickly waved his wand, summoning a shield of smoke in front of him while quickly moving back, his feet gliding against the ground as a powerful explosion shook the ground, obliterating the shield the man had created, but had managed to buy him a precious second that he used to get to safety before staring in front of him with a nervous expression.

"You should listen to your own advice!"

The tall man suddenly appeared in front of Reign who was still staring at the thin man.

His blade fell down with immense power, only to be blocked by two swords. Reign turned his head to face the tall man and shook his head with disappointment.

"Why should I even care a little bit about what you will do when I look away, huh?" Reign asked the tall man whose red mana rose even higher, his anger evident in his face as he stared into Reign's eyes with fury.

"You know, your strength is rising, together with that thin man, I can see how you two were able to fight Uncle Jin to a draw." Reign said as he moved to the side and allowed the thick blade of the man to fall down, striking the ground and splitting it open.

"The red mana you have is similar to something I saw in a different world, increasing your strength the angrier you got."

"Judging from how you behave, being unable to defeat an opponent is enough to make you angry, which means this kind of ability is perfect for a simpleton like yourself."

"Together with that thin man who is a mage and has quite the weird array of spells at his disposal, I definitely see how you two fighting together makes you many times more dangerous, alas, you are not fighting with him."

Reign suddenly swung his sword from the side, forcing the tall man to quickly lift his sword and block the attack, only for his eyes to widen as his sight became blocked by Reign's fist that struck him straight in the face.

The red mana didn't only increase his strength, it also increased his speed, as well as his body's regeneration speed. Thanks to that, his broken nose had already been healed, only to now be broken once more by Reign's punch.

It wasn't just a normal punch, in fact, it looked quite harmless at first, and the strength behind it wasn't that great, only for the man to be blown away a second later as a powerful shockwave was expelled from the fist.

[ Compact Punch, 75% ]

"Still alive?" Reign asked as the man got up from the ground, panting furiously and staring at Reign.

"Good, it would have been boring if you died from just that." Reign said with a smile on his face before lightning erupted around him, and his mana was fully released.

Even the sky above reacted to his immense aura, clouds swirling around as Reign's hair rose up from his aura and the lightning that was covering him.

"Now, shall I get a bit serious, after all, we are both leaders of a faction, no matter how much of a bastard and a piece of shit you are, I should at least respect you this much, right?" Reign asked before suddenly disappearing from the man's sight.

"Over here." A whisper came from the side, making the man look to the left, only for Reign's fist to strike him, forcibly moving his head to the right side.

Reign wasn't finishing, however.

An uppercut arrived next, right as the man managed to turn his head back and glance forward for an instant while trying to move to the side and turn his head left to glance at Reign in order to see what he was doing.

The tall man's head was launched back, the back of the head hitting the wall behind it, causing cracks to appear on the wall.

"Damn man, that's one tough head!" Reign shouted with a smile as he started moving around the man whose red aura exploded around him, causing the ground and the wall to crack as he swung his blade forward, sending a thick and powerful blade light in a crescent shape forward in hopes of hitting Reign, only for the blade light to hit nothing but air and continue traveling for over 300 meters before hitting anything.

"Phew, boy am I glad I managed to jump over that in time, that was quite something, you know?" Reign asked as the tall man clenched his teeth and looked up, only to see Reign standing atop the wall and waving down at him.

"Hey simpleton, how are you doing so far?"

The tall man responded by swinging his sword up, sending another blade light at Reign, only to see Reign disappear in front of his eyes, leaving a trail of lightning.

The tall man's back suddenly bent backward as Reign appeared behind him, kicking him with a flying kick, sending him crashing against the wall that was merely half a meter in front of him.

His whole body crashed against the wall, causing more cracks to appear and some parts of the wall to actually collapse.

"You know, your reaction speed is not that bad, your strength is above average for your level, and that regeneration that you have is quite something."

"Had you spent more time training, honing your ability and skills instead of torturing the poor people you captured, perhaps you would have been powerful enough to force me to go all out?"

"Unfortunately, trash like you will always be trash, hoping to never come across somebody more powerful than you, wishing for nothing but more weak people to be captured by you so that you can do whatever you want to them."

"You disgust me."

"Your very presence makes me want to vomit."

"Your face makes me want to never see it again, it is that ugly."

"And your pitiful strength makes me want to do the same to you that you have done to others, alas, I have promised my uncle to not stoop so low, to preserve what is left of my humanity."

"Consider yourself lucky for that, but worry not, we will have plenty of time after you die to have fun." Reign said with a wide smile on his face as he held the back of the man's head with his left arm, pushing forward with full strength and causing the man's head to go further inside the wall.

The tall man swung his blade backward, a desperate attempt to hit Reign who didn't move an inch.

He grabbed the right arm of the man with his right hand, stopping it and the blade in place before clenching with full strength and suddenly letting go of his head.

The man then screamed in pain as Reign brought his left arm down.

He had not only grabbed the man's arm with his right hand, but also twisted it, and then with his left hand, he struck the side of the elbow, and the arm went in a direction it was not meant to go.

The sound of the joint going out of place was heard, and the blade was dropped, but Reign was not finished yet.

He suddenly kicked down, striking the back of the knee with the sole of his foot, causing the man to go down on one knee before suddenly kicking from the side with full force, hitting the side of the knee of the other leg, and doing the same to it he had done to the arm.

"You deserve much worse than this before your death, know that."
