Licht was fast enough to actually block the two swords with the devices in his hands, the vibrations however didn't work as well as he thought they would as Reign's mana was able to withstand it for the brief period of time that the swords and the two circular devices were connected.

Licht was launched back as a result of the collision, he was after all a long-range fighter, similar to a mage class in games, and was simply not powerful enough to go against a first evolution fighter like Reign in close-quarter combat.

"Who are you?!" Lisea immediately pointed her spear at Reign as she cautiously observed him, she had never seen this man before, which shouldn't be possible as she knew all the first evolution fighters in the area their kingdom was located.

"Commander, that's Reign, the guy we summoned!" Lico shouted at Lisea in order to inform her, his face had an expression of shock as he looked at Reign who was now many times more powerful compared to before. When they sparred against each other they were pretty much the same strength, but now it was obvious that the young man had gone through the first evolution as his power was nothing like before.

'It's only been a couple of weeks and yet, he has managed to evolve, not to mention that he is so young as well.' Lico thought to himself before nodding at Reign and continuing his fight.

"Reign, wait, weren't you stationed at Raigon's fortification?" Lisea suddenly asked before her expression suddenly changed, "Don't tell me-"

"We have killed the enemy king." Reign nodded to her as a response before switching his sight to Licht who was slowly getting up from the ground.

"Raigon has also gone through the first evolution, he went to help out at the other fortification."

"Raigon has what?!" Lisea and Licht both suddenly shouted at Reign.

"Raigon, he was the Judge, the man behind the mask." Reign's words echoed through the battlefield as he had amplified his voice with mana, thanks to that everybody could hear him, even the loud sounds of battle weren't enough to cover his words.

"Raigon was the Judge?" Lico asked with shock as he stared at Reign once again, it wasn't only him as everybody was now staring at the young man clad in lighting, the words he had just spoken were simply too shocking.

Raigon's name was one that was famous in the whole area for two reasons, one reason was his incredible intelligence and the way he had managed to fend off the huge enemy army that had attacked the fortification in the past. The other reason was not a good one as he was also known for the lack of talent he had when it comes to fighting, but to hear that he was actually the Judge, one of the two strongest people in the kingdom below the first evolution, to say his words were shocking was actually an understatement.

Lico had talked and fought side by side with the Judge a couple of times in the past, Lisea as well had seen the Judge fighting at the beginning of the war, his ability was one that was incredibly powerful and hard to go against, he was a big help to the kingdom back then. Licht was also one of those that had seen the power the Judge possessed, even though he wasn't a threat to him or the other first evolution combatants back then if he really was Raigon, and he had gone to help the king of Riplas out, then that meant his allies were in deep trouble.

Of course, there was nothing he could do right now to help them out since he himself was in deep trouble as well. Two first evolution combatants were now in front of him, even though Reign had just gone through an evolution, his power was great and he seemed like someone that has been a first evolution combatant for a while.

"Anyway, I thought it would be good for me to get some practice in with this guy, I'm still not sure what my limits are after going through the evolution after all." Reign said with a grin, his lightning once again exploded from inside of him as he stared at Licht who gulped nervously.

'This guy, he just went through an evolution right?!' Licht looked at the powerful lighting that covered Reign and the surroundings as Reign's mana was released to its fullest, 'How the hell is he so powerful?!'

"Commander, it was nice meeting you, you don't mind if I take the lead and fight him right?" Reign asked Lisea with a smile, the woman looked at him with a weird expression before shaking her head and motioning him to start, it wasn't time to talk or ask more questions right now, they were still in the middle of a fight and it was time to end it.

Bzzzzzz

Reign immediately disappeared from the spot before appearing on Licht's right side, his speed was incredible and even Lisea and Licht had trouble following his movement speed. And that was only with Reign using the mark and his ability to its fullest as his weapon skills were under cooldown. Luckily for him, the boost that his newly evolved [ Lightning Flicker ] skill gave was enough to boost him quite well.

Reign quickly slashed at Licht with his swords, only to be forced to retreat as multiple man blasts were suddenly launched at him from the balls that were floating around Licht, even though the man couldn't fully follow Reign's movement, he was still a first evolution combatant and could at least defend himself. Thanks to the enormous amount of mana he now had because of his rank S item, he could store a couple of attacks in the balls that would launch them with a simple thought, he also quickly put multiple traps around himself that would go off once someone got close to him.

"I have to admit that you are strong, but if you think that a newly evolved fighter that doesn't have any rank S items can take me on, then I'll have to teach you how wrong you are, you-" Licht's words were cut short as he stared at the tens of lightning spears that Reign had suddenly created, he quickly put his two palms in front of him as the devices started vibrating. With the help of mana, he was able to increase the power of the vibrations and make the area about 2 meters in front of him under great stress. All the lightning spears that were launched simply got scattered from the vibrations that acted like a shield for Licht.

"You're right, I probably shouldn't have tried to fight without a different weapon, after all, I already used the skills of these weapons before." Reign nodded his head at Licht before summoning his katana back and putting the broken sword back into its scabbard. He suddenly took out a new weapon from the inventory while making it look like it came from the spatial ring that was on his finger.

Thick killing intent suddenly engulfed the whole battlefield as a glaive with a red blade appeared in Reign's hands. Reign and the others had all divided their items before the challenge and put them in their private inventory as they didn't know whether the party inventory would work during the challenge, the answer was of course no, not only did the system prohibit the use of the party inventory during the challenge, but they were also too far away to use it.

Reign had put multiple items in the inventory, one of which was the Rank A Desolation Glaive they had received after killing Azar. Thanks to Reign going through the first evolution, the killing intent wasn't able to faze him as much as before and he could immediately wield the glaive, that however couldn't be said for the others.

Even though Licht and Lisea were almost immune to the killing intent, they were still shocked by it as they had never felt something like this coming from a weapon. The glaive was an incredibly powerful weapon that stood at the peak of rank A, it didn't have a powerful active skill like Reign's katana, but it didn't need it as the longer one fought the more powerful he became, not to mention the incredible killing intent that also became stronger during a battle.

Reign immediately charged at Licht with his new weapon, even though he wasn't as proficient with the glaive as he was with his swords, he could still fight normally with it compared to how awful he was with daggers.

The mana traps and mechanical traps that Licht had planted around him activated as Reign neared, unfortunately for Licht however, Reign's speed was great enough to allow him to dodge each of the traps and get closer to Licht who was currently focusing on launching a powerful attack at him.

As Reign arrived, Licht had opened his eyes and spread his hands towards Reign, a massive amount of mana suddenly exploded from Licht as an earth-shattering explosion took place.

Boom!
