"Magokur, take care of the other orcs." Reign suddenly says as he looks at the approaching commander, without even waiting for the latter to answer him, he disappears in a flash as he meets the commander's charge.
Magokur was a bit conflicted, this was the best opportunity to deal with the commander, he had already sent out some of his men to kill the scouts so that the news of what happened here wouldn't be sent back to the chieftain. His worry, however, was simple, if the whole party was here then this would probably be a done deal, both he and the commander had become stronger since the last time they met Reign and the others and he wasn't sure if Reign could hold his ground against the commander.
His answer came right away however as Reign appeared in front of the commander, his two swords slashed the giant orc's legs as the armor broke into pieces. The immense mana pressure was back as Reign was all out, his eyes had a dangerous glow to them while his lightning coiled around him whilst bursting out in the surroundings from time to time.
The commander tried to attack Reign but the latter was simply too fast for him, he was fighting without caring for his mana, and his eyes flashed black and white as he used his katana to slash at the orc's side. He aimed at the spot where he had punched the orc earlier, the unguarded body part was cut open by the katana as blood spewed out.
Swish
A fearsome blow was coming towards Reign as the 4-meter tall orc aimed a punch at him, even before the punch connected, the force of the blow was blowing wind in his face while Reign simply leaned to the side to avoid it. He suddenly opened his mouth wide and sucked the lightning into it, contrary to what he did against the spider however, he wasn't done.
Not only was he using the lightning that was coiled around him but he also channeled mana through his body and made it move towards his throat. He could feel an intense power being concentrated in his throat as he suddenly unleashed a terrifying roar.
The lightning erupted from his mouth like a ray of death, the orc's arm was in front of his mouth and after being hit by the lightning it was charred black as a hole could be seen on the forearm. The orc's arm was bigger than an average human's leg so the hole wasn't too big of a problem for the commander, the intense pain and the paralytic effect that the lightning brought however was a different story.
He grunted as he tried to kick Reign away, but the latter simply ducked under the orc's leg before using his swords to slash the leg open. Liters of blood pour out from the thigh while Reign put his hand on the orc's back.
[ Discharge ]
"Arrgghh!!" The orc screams in pain as his body was being shocked by Reign's powerful lightning, Reign puts his hand away and jumps back as the orc had tried to deliver a spinning back fist. The attack misses and Reign uses the chance to slash the commander's fist open.
"You little bug, I'm going to kill you, you and all of the humans, Magokur, kill them, kill the captured humans!" The commander screams out as he looks at Magokur, only to stop in shock as he could see Magokur killing his subordinates with great ferocity.
"You-!" Before the commander could finish his sentence he was greeted by Reign's kick, the powerful blow shocks him as his head gets cocked back while his body suddenly shook from the blow. He took 2 steps back before trying to calm his body down, only to suddenly feel an immense fear welling up inside of him as the pressure from the human in front of him intensified.
"Kill them, whose people do you think you're going to kill you fuck?" Reign says calmly while stepping towards the commander, his face was scrunched up in anger as he looked at the commander with intense hatred. Even though his time with Adam was a brief one, he was one of the players he and the others had chosen, one that was supposed to become a pillar of their future force, and he was killed by this orc in front of him.
Of course, Reign knew that Adam could have potentially escaped during the battle as well, his teleport ability offered a great choice to the user as it could be used in many ways. To escape from here, even though it would have been hard, was possible for him, but he chose to stay and fight as his judgment was clouded after seeing the monster that killed his family.
Ever since the game had started, this was the first casualty that had happened to Reign and the others, they were injured multiple times and there were near-death experiences, but so far they had not let a single person die, even during the event. Of course, there were casualties when the players went out hunting and there were some during the ant attack, but those were different, why one might ask, it was because Reign didn't know those people.
Humans are a peculiar race, one could get accustomed to death and to killing, but to witness the death of a person you knew was a completely different thing compared to a stranger's death. Something deep inside Reign was awakened after hearing the commander's words, his mana was growing by the second as his body was almost completely hidden behind the lightning coiling around him.
To the commander it was like seeing the devil, the human in front of him was getting completely swallowed by the lightning. The lightning coiled around while a face was created from it, the creepy smile and the eyes that shone brightly as beacons inflicted an immense feeling of despair to the commander who didn't understand what was happening in front of him.
With his parents passing Reign thoughts that he had become accustomed to death, it was only after seeing Adam's death with his own eyes and imagining the rest of the team dying that pushed him over the edge, for the first time ever he completely gave up control over his lightning and allowed it to burst out fully.
Aethion was trying to talk to him from inside his consciousness but it was futile as Reign couldn't hear him right now. The dark copy smiled slightly as it looked at the spectacle that was currently happening.
"You won't hurt anyone else." A low voice could be heard from the terrifying mouth of the changed Reign as it suddenly appears in front of the commander, his left hand grabbed the charred arm of the commander while his right hand was placed on the side of the commander's body. With a forceful pull, Reign managed to completely tear the orc's arm from his body as the latter simply stared at him with fear, he didn't even scream out in pain as his body was almost paralyzed.
Without waiting for a reaction, Reign throws the arm away as he kicks the orc in the chest. The powerful blow breaks a couple of ribs as the latter was sent flying for a couple of meters before sliding on the ground and stopping. Reign slowly walked towards him as the latter tried to get up, Reign's lightning was infused with each hit and it was still present on the orc's body.
Before the orc could force himself to stand up he was kicked in the face by Reign who was now standing above him. Reign took out his two swords and plunged them deep into the orc's legs, since the effect from the lightning was wearing off, the orc growled in pain weakly as he looked at Reign.
He tried hitting Reign with his other hand, but his body was already injured immensely and weakened, as such Reign was able to easily block the attack. Holding the orc's hand Reign clutches it strongly before twisting it, with his left hand he suddenly hits the extended elbow of the orc and breaks the arm.
Without wasting any more time Reign starts punching the orc in the face. He wasn't using a skill nor was he infusing mana in his attacks, he was simply using his fists to pummel the face of the enemy in front of him.
Magokur had already finished off the orcs that had arrived with them, he was currently standing and looking at Reign with a conflicted expression on his face. To see Reign acting like this and completely demolishing the commander was definitely not something he thought would happen today.
The pressure coming off from Reign was incredibly powerful and he could feel it even when being behind him.
'How the hell did he get so strong?' When Magokur had fought against Reign and the others previously, he was able to fight with Reign and suppress him without major difficulties, of course, none of them went all out during that battle, but Magokur never thought that the person he was able to fight against previously would become monstrously strong in a short period of time.
Bam!
The orcs head was already turned to mush, but Reign didn't care as he continued pummeling it with his fists, each of the blows would connect with the concrete below and produce loud banging sounds.
Bam!
