Chapter 325 Sparring And Lieara

Bang!

Ilas was launched towards Dain as Reign had managed to anticipate his attack and kick him, the two collide with great force and fall down to the ground. Before they could get up they were met with two swords in front of their faces, Reign had managed to arrive in front of them with great speed and win the battle.

"Damn," Ilas says as he lies back on the ground and looks at the bright sky above. He was never a fighter, to be honest, he had been trained from an early age how to infiltrate places, blend in with the populace or environment and get the info he needed for his mission, or assassinate the target. For him to fight like this showed that he wanted to improve his strength, even though he was an incredibly dangerous individual when he was hidden, once someone managed to find him, or traces of him, his danger level would go down drastically.

That was what happened against the vice-leader previously, thanks to his survival instinct the man was able to sense that someone was stalking him and trying to attack him without being noticed. After that Ilas didn't even have a chance to attack the man as he knew that it would be for naught, he was weaker and couldn't stand a chance when fighting face to face. Thanks to the guy spending a great deal of mana and Reign killing their leader however he was given a chance to attack, of course without his weapon skill he would have still failed.

It wasn't Ilas's fault though, he was simply unlucky to fight someone who was that sharp, it would have probably been better for him to go to Lieara and attack her opponent, if he had done that then perhaps he would have still saved his weapon skill and used it on the other vice-leader later.

Dain on the other hand was an archer when compared to Beast however he wasn't as good. His arrows were powerful and the destructive power behind them was actually a tad higher compared to Beast, but the speed of his attack, the accuracy, and the lack of close-combat skills made him much weaker compared to Beast who could fight at close range without using his beasts or fusion for a period of time.

Even so, fighters on the same level as Reign and his party members still existed here, Lico and the mysterious other top-tier combatant were about as powerful as Reign was, at least that's what he had heard from others. Of course, Reign wasn't one to underestimate anybody, since he had only shown his strength when using the mark he was certain that some of the people in the castle had noticed that he still didn't go all out, he didn't know how powerful Lico or the other person was when going all out but he could imagine that they must be as strong as when he used the broken sword's skill at the very least.

The other person on the same level as Lico and Reign was still a mystery to him, even after asking multiple people about the person they all simply shook their heads and told him that he would learn in the future. He could sense that something weird was going on with the second person, why exactly, he didn't know, but he had a feeling that he would find out later on.

As the two got up a third person suddenly entered the field. Her slim figure dashed across the field as the halberd in her hands fell down on Reign.

Clang!

Reign turned around with a smile and met the attack. Lieara's beautiful face was only inches from his, a wide smile was plastered on her face as she backed off quickly before resuming her attacks. As the once strongest person in the area, she was very competitive and wouldn't miss a chance to train with someone stronger in order to improve herself. This was how it has always been; each time Reign sparred with Ilas and Dain, he would be met with Lieara's halberd after winning.

Ever since that night the two acted normal, it was obvious to Reign that Lieara didn't hold any romantic feelings for Reign, the 'exchange' they had the first night was not because of love, it was simply because of the physical attraction the two had for each other. Of course, the lack of emotional attraction wasn't enough to stop Lieara from sneaking into Reign's room two more times since that night, but when the two were amongst others they made sure to never act differently.

The fight between the two was a brutal one, Lieara wasn't one to hold back and each of her attacks was fierce and powerful. She didn't care if she would seriously hurt Reign with her attacks because she simply didn't believe she could, even if she used everything she had, Reign would still be the one to come on top.

The image of the young man chasing after the two leaders of the army while being clad in lightning was still in her mind, the power he exuded made her breathing a bit quicker each time. It was something that Lieara felt ever since she was young, for some reason she didn't care for money, beauty, or elegance but power, but power was the one thing that would make her happy, and when seeing someone more powerful than her, excited.

The two fought for about 30 minutes, in the end however the result was the same as it always was. Lieara's halberd was taken from her before Reign came behind her and put his sword across her neck, knowing that there was nothing she could do Lieara simply put her hands up and admitted defeat.

Raigon had a slight smile on his face as he looked at the spar, his right eyes shining as a golden pentagram had appeared across his iris. As he stared at Reign and Lieara the pentagram suddenly disappeared as Reign turned his head around and looked at him. The two nodded at each other respectfully before Reign left the training field.

Lieara had stayed and taken her halberd, she stared at it before shaking her head with a smile, with a flash of light the halberd disappeared and Lieara took her leave as well.

Reign went directly to his room, he had sparred with the others for quite a while and wanted to take a shower. As he closed the door of his room he left it unlocked before going inside the bathroom. As he showered he was able to hear the sound of his door opening and silent footsteps as the person slowly moved toward the bathroom.

The rustling of clothes could be heard before the bathroom door was opened and a figure entered. Reign didn't look back, it was as if he wasn't bothered by another person entering the bathroom while he was using it. Soon the curtain of the shower was moved as an enchanting figure joined Reign in the shower.

Lieara kissed Reign as the water from the shower fell down on them, her black hair was soon wet and dripping, just like the rest of her body. The shower took about 40 minutes before the two came out of the bathroom, Reign sat down on his bed before yawning a bit and lying down, as for Lieara she simply looked outside the window before taking her leave.

It was the same as always, Lieara only stayed with Reign for the first night, the previous two times she would be in his room for a while before leaving, never staying for the night. It was something she did in order to let Reign know that although she wanted him, she didn't want to have any kind of romantic relationship, what they had was purely physical.

Reign didn't mind, he would be leaving this planet after some time and didn't plan on falling in love or making someone love him. The kind of relationship they had, although a bit weird, was enough for him.

"Really boy, why do I sense that you are taking this whole thing as a relaxing trip, and not a ridiculously hard mission as you should?" Aethion suddenly asked him. Reign had managed to learn how to block Aethion from seeing anything that happened the first day he reappeared, thanks to that he would always block the old pervert's sight whenever Lieara came to him.

"Well, there's nothing I can really do now except for wait, so why even bother?" Reign answered him, he didn't know how he would be able to kill someone that has gone through the first evolution, there was also the fact that even though he was standing at the peak when it came to fighters below the first evolution, he knew that there were still some that could threaten him.

The people from stronger kingdoms and empires for example would be hard to deal with, from what Reign knew they not only had a bunch of rank S items, but even the stronger SS, SSS, and even some rank Z items could be found there. If someone below the first evolution were to be equipped with S rank items or stronger, even Reign wasn't confident that he would be able to win.
