"What?" The demon asked as Reign smirked at him.
The air around Reign suddenly moved, a violent wind picking up around him, one that soon started affecting both the battlefields while an incredibly dense and powerful wave of mana washed over everyone, forcing the entire area to go silent.
The winged demon watched Reign who was suddenly surrounded by black and white mana that were hiding his body that was now floating in the air. As the mana started withdrawing and going back to his body, his figure was finally revealed.
His long, black and white hair danced in the wind as his 2-meter-tall body now had a pair of wings attached behind it. Reign glanced at the demon before his wings flapped, and with that flap, he arrived in front of him.
The demon's eyes opened wide in shock as he summoned his shield in order to block Reign, only for him to be sent crashing down, a shockwave appearing around Reign from the power of the blow.
"I have wings too, what now?" Reign softly said.
A large cloud of dust rose from the ground while Reign pointed his two fingers at two low-grade demons and launched two deadly rays of light at them, killing them instantly. Reign tried to continue doing so, but the demon below him screamed in anger and sent a ray of demonic energy at him, one that he dodged.
The ray didn't end, however, as the demon moved it and aimed it at Reign. This was one of his most powerful skills and one of his trump cards, but it drained too much mana to be used regularly, which was why he had resorted to using the balls of demonic energy previously.
Reign glanced at the ray of demonic energy before flapping his wings, disappearing from sight. Even though the winged demon was powerful and fast, even more so after showing his most powerful form, Reign was able to barely keep up with him previously, and right now, he was the one with the advantage.
Reign moved as the ray followed after him, with each passing moment arriving closer to the demon who was gritting his teeth in anger as he knew that this would not be enough to deal with Reign. He suddenly stopped and Reign smirked at him before turning around and attacking the other Tier IV demons.
Everybody was now going all out, the demons had used everything they had while Wolf and the others did the same. Beast had fused with Blackie and was fighting against his opponent, still using his bow while Spirit helping him out from the side.
With Reign suddenly arriving nearby, the demons knew that it was bad news.
Reign knew he had little time during his transformation, so he needed to do the most now. Killing two low-grade Tier IV demons and the winged demon he was fighting against previously was not enough to give them a big advantage, so he took out his swords and aimed at the demon that Beast was fighting against.
With Beast fusing, he had actually not gained an advantage as the demon was now more powerful than before. The demon was faster and stronger, and without Blackie present to help him out, he had to fight more aggressively as Spirit was not that good against such an enemy.
With Reign arriving, however, the tables turned immediately.
Reign aimed at the demon's wings first and managed to inflict two large wounds on them, pretty much disabling them before moving on to a different demon. He sent out his rays of light, using them to injure some demons while attacking the ones that were close to him with his swords.
He had managed to kill 3 more demons and injured a dozen before the winged demon had arrived, using some sort of skill to boost his speed greatly. With his mace in hand, the demon swung at Reign who blocked it with his sword before trying to slash the demon, only for the latter to block it with his shield.
Reign smirked at the demon as this was enough, he had done enough damage to the demons to give an advantage to Wolf and the others, and now he only needed to focus on this guy and kill him.
eαglesnovel`c,om He quickly used his soul manipulation and attacked the demon's mind, but it didn't work as some sort of barrier was present around the latter's soul. The demon suddenly smirked at Reign before opening his mouth as demonic energy was gathering in it. He had let his mace go and grabbed Reign's arm in order to immobilize him, but Reign simply stared at him calmly before doing the same thing the demon had done.
He opened his mouth as lightning gathered in it before launching a powerful ray of lightning while the demon unleashed a powerful ray of demonic energy. The two rays clashed, and thanks to the fact the two were in such close proximity, both of them were getting injured thanks to the violent power the two breath attacks possessed.
The demon, however, was at a disadvantage, but now from the ray, but from the fact that he was merely holding Reign's arm, but not locking his wrist. Moving his hand around, Reign slashed with his sword, wounding the demon's stomach and making him bleed.
Even though it was not a serious injury, it made the demon open his eyes wide as he knew that he would be seriously injured if this was to continue. He let go of Reign's hand and gripped the mace that had suddenly flown over to him before attacking him.
Both their breath attacks finished as the two started fighting up close. The demon was actually the one that held the advantage in the air as he was much more used to his wings while this was only the third time Reign had used this form, rendering him somewhat unfamiliar with flying.
He was able to fly and move around quickly thanks to the fact the wings were a part of him and using them felt natural, but he didn't know how to use them to their fullest, while the demon did.
The demon was moving up and down, left and right and was causing problems for Reign who was not used to something like this. An aerial battle was unfamiliar territory to Reign who, even with his superior strength, was having issues against the winged demon.
Reign suddenly clicked his tongue before gathering mana in his body and letting it out. He mimicked the way the [ Discharge ] skill worked, but instead of only using lightning, he used light and darkness with it, causing black and white lightning to explode around him with streaks of light and darkness being mixed between the lighting arcs.
The demon was caught unprepared and was injured, the lightning paralyzing him for a brief moment, but a moment was all that Reign needed. He had used a lot of mana for this attack, and he had done so in order to stop the demon for a bit so that he could land a good attack.
Just like he had done to the demon that Beast had been fighting against, Reign had aimed at the wings of his opponent, but instead of simply cutting both at once and injuring them, he had to make sure that his enemy would be unable to fly again.
Reign lifted both of his swords above him before slashing down at the demon from the back.
[ Severing, Light and Darkness ]
With his abilities being fully unlocked at this point, the power of his skill was further boosted, making it an incredibly deadly skill that was on par with the strongest ones he had. The two swords fell down and cut through the wing before cutting deeply through the demon's body as well. The large wing was cut off completely and only about 40cm of it remained, making it impossible for the demon to fly.
He started spiraling down, but in order to stop Reign from following after him and dealing a deadly injury, he opened his mouth and fired another ray of demonic energy at him, forcing him to dodge to the side.
He used his wing to somewhat stabilize himself in the air and land on the ground before screaming loudly and staring at Reign with a murderous expression. His wings were his pride, the one thing that set him apart from the other demons, and one of them was gone now.
Even though he could heal the wings in the future, it would take a lot of time, even reattaching the missing wing was not something that would easily be done.
He glanced at the missing wing that had fallen to the ground far away before widening his eyes in shock as a large flaming sword fell on them, stabbing through and setting them on fire.
Wolf fell right after the sword and picked it up before slashing down, meeting the other high-grade Tier IV demon's charge head-on and stopping him.
