Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 914 Reign's Descent into Madness: The Darkness Within

?"You're going to let them all die?" A voice echoed in Reign's head as he stared at what was going on.

"Didn't you make yourself a promise, didn't you say that you would never let a comrade die again?"

"And look, some died already, and now, Mia is going to die as well, your comrade, she's going to die, she's going to get crushed into a pulp, and you won't be able to even hold a funeral for her."

"Poor Reign, never strong enough to do what needs to be done, always being forced to watch others die."

"Are you sure that's fine with you?"

Reign's eyes had turned bloodshot at this point.

He was once again relieved about what happened back in Doncaster, back when he saw the captain of the orc team stab through Adam's heart just as he had arrived to save him.

The anger he felt back then was back. His Nephilim form started changing.

Light was gone and the cavern became dimmer than before.

His wings turned pitch-black, both of them.

Lightning erupted around him, but it was also black.

There was nothing but darkness around him, nothing.

The atmosphere in the cavern became oppressive as the darkness emanating from Reign's transformed Nephilim form engulfed everything.

The mysterious figure, who was observing everything with keen interest, smiled a bit. The enigmatic voice spoke once again, its tone dripping with amusement. "Ah, the darkness within you awakens. How intriguing."

Reign, now consumed by his Nephilim form, stepped forward, each footfall sending ripples of black energy through the cavern. The chains that bound him shattered effortlessly as he disappeared from the spot.

He attacked the angels before they had the chance to attack Mia or him.

He struck one and sent it flying to the other side of the cavern before kicking another one away. Finally, he punched forward with full force at the central angel, who stood firm and took the blow.

Nothing happened to it.

Darkness exploded around them, and yet, the angel was completely unharmed, Reign's power was unable to even make it take a step back.

The other angels appeared around Reign as well, both unhurt. They had been sent flying only because they were caught off guard, but that was all that Reign was able to do, even in this form of his.

Inside of him, Jared and Aethion were panicking.

"We need to calm Master down, the darkness will consume him, and nothing will be left!"

"That bastard, I really thought he was different, god damn it, that's why one should never believe the darkness inside a Nephilim, he went straight for the kill the moment Reign was vulnerable."

"That hurts my feelings, you know?" A voice suddenly echoed in Reign's consciousness as Aethio and Jared both turned to see the dark copy standing calmly.

"You shouldn't be throwing such accusations around without having any evidence, you know?" The copy told Aethion who was staring at him.

"Wait, but if it's not you, then who, then how?"

"I'm searching through my database, but I can't find any record of such a situation developing with a Nephilim," Jared said as he shook his head.

"There … there is another one?" Aethion asked the copy who shook his head.

"A Nephilim will only have one side of him hidden deep inside, that is true for every Nephilim that has ever existed and any that will ever exist."

"I am the only one that Reign has, there is no other."

"Then how … how the hell is this happening, what the hell is going on?!" Aethion shouted in anger and panic as the copy sighed.

"Even if I were to tell you, it would change nothing, so just spectate, just watch what is going on, Reign will not be consumed by the darkness today, that is certain." The copy said as he continued watching the battle that was unfolding.

Reign was fighting against the angels.

Well, he was trying to.

The angels were not really trying, they were simply standing still and letting him attack them. Each attack from him was akin to a bomb that exploded, ripples of darkness would spread around them, destroying anything they touched.

The lightning flickering around him charred the ground and walls, but when touching the angels, it was unable to do anything but collapse.

Reign's body and face were no longer even recognizable, the dark lightning had completely covered his body, and now, it was as if he was lightning itself, his body looking like nothing more but lightning personified.

His eyes were nothing but two dots of light and his mouth was not even visible most of the time, only when he roared, which made it seem like he was a monster, not a human, would one be able to see his mouth, which was nothing more but darkness itself.

He fought akin to a monster, doing his best to slaughter the two angels, to annihilate them, and yet, he could do nothing.

The angels were standing still, after all, they had been ordered by Avargan to not kill Reign and Iscandar before killing their comrades first.

They were a bit confused, however, as Reign's speed allowed him to intercept them most of the time, not allowing them to kill a single person.

Avargan was staring in shock at Reign before he started laughing maniacally.

"You lost control, hahahahahaha, you actually lost control over your own powers!"

"Incredible, to think I would see a proud Nephilim fall down from grace and become nothing but a mindless monster today, hahahaahahahahah!"

"This is simply too good!"

Avargan's laughter was cut short by Reign who suddenly appeared in front of him, his fist cocked back before he punched with full strength at Avargan who actually sensed death looming above him.

He was now nothing but a ghost, his strength was nowhere near what it was at its peak, and even if he was at his full power, it was unclear whether he would have been able to survive a battle against Reign in his current state.

Before Reign's fist could reach him, however, he was sent flying across the cavern before hitting the wall and causing numerous cracks to appear around him, making some parts of the wall collapse even and the formation flicker for a bit.

An angel had appeared next to Avargan and had pushed Reign back. Yes, he was pushed, not punched, not kicked, merely pushed gently by the angel, and even that was enough to do such immense damage.

Reign was not dead, however, nor was he knocked unconscious, instead, he roared again, his anger rising, as was his power.

He slammed his fists against the wall, causing the formation to once again shake before his head turned to stare at it.

Suddenly, an eerie chuckle escaped his mouth as he punched the barrier of the formation.

"Stop him!" Avargan roared as another angel appeared in front of Reign before grabbing him and throwing him to the center of the cavern.

The ground sank as Reign struck the ground, causing it to cave in before he got up quickly and tried to once again attack the formation.

He was wild, unbothered by any injuries he might suffer, not care for his own safety. The only thing that Reign wanted to do was to destroy the formation at this time.

"Tch, alright then, you don't need to care for his safety anymore, I'm getting bored of this," Avargan told the angels before glancing at the others.

"It seems he cares about that one quite a bit, start with her, kill her slowly, I want her to suffer as much as possible before dying."

The angels glanced at Mia, who was the one Avargan spoke about.

They moved, once again appearing around Mia, this time surrounding her and extending their hands.

Reign quickly moved as well, appearing above them immediately and moving toward Mia, only for one of the angels to suddenly punch him. The punch caused a shockwave to blast around them, forcing even Mia to be blown away.

As for Reign, he was sent flying, lightning and darkness dissipating from where he was hit and uncovering part of his body and face, which was in horrible condition.

His skin had cracked and darkened, dark blood coming out from the cracks that appeared.

One could even notice bones that were not broken and were sticking out a bit, but in mere seconds, the bones would be back in place, healed.

The angels once again moved toward Mia, but this time, Reign proved to be faster.

In a single instant, Reign, with his injured and broken body, appeared in front of Mia before hugging her and covering her body with his own as the angels attacked her from three sides.

His darkness and lightning were blasted away, and his injured body showed itself immediately.

The angels continued with their attack, even intensifying the power a bit, only to suddenly stop, their bodies seemingly freezing.

"Why have you stopped, continue, continue!"

"Break him in pieces, kill him!"

And yet, the angels did no such thing, they didn't even move a single inch.

"Why are you not-"

"They can't, you moron."

"They're scared that it would offend me."
