Just like all demons he had fought against before, upon learning that Reign can attack their souls, they got afraid.

They still had no idea that Reign could take their souls and capture them upon their death, but the mere fact that he can hurt their souls was enough to make them apprehensive of him.

After all, when a demon died and went back to their home world, the strength of their soul was one important factor when it came it being revived. If their soul was damaged, they would lose more memories, as well as more power. Nobody wanted to lose more, so demons were always looking out for anything that could damage their soul and was afraid of such things, especially in the leveling realm where such powers were rare.

As the three demons were staring at Reign, they suddenly widened their and jumped to the side as the ground they previously stood on exploded as a large serpent made out of rock came out.

"I'm here." One of the peak Tier IV combatants that was in the group said as he arrived at where Reign was and stood a couple of meters away. Reign nodded at him before glancing at the demons.

He actually didn't really need help.

The demons he was facing were assassins, they specialized in getting close to their targets and killing them without being noticed, not in head-on combat like they were forced to partake in now.

Individually, they were weaker than the humans who were attacking them, and the worst part was that they were outnumbered, which spelled their doom.

Even if they were the ones with superior numbers, they still might not win.

"Make sure that one doesn't escape, he has the device they used to locate the key." The man nodded at Reign before staring at the demon who was clenching his hands before attacking him.

His giant snake charged forth, and the three demons looked apprehensively at it before dodging it.

"You shouldn't forget about me, you sneaky bastards." One of the demons heard a voice behind him, which made his entire body tense up as he turned in the air, only to see Reign who was right in front of him.

The moment the demon turned, Reign's index finger was placed on his chest.

Reign had a lot of skills, and in the last couple of months, he had barely made any new ones.

The reason for that was simple.

Quality over quantity.

Even if he had a ton of skills if he couldn't master them all and utilize them proficiently, why bother making them?

The stronger that Reign got, the more he understood that he didn't necessarily need to create skills in order to utilize attacks that were similar to skills.

Skills were powerful and easy to be used, allowing a person to deal great damage quickly, but there was a small issue with them, and that was the fact that the system helped them utilize the skills.

Without fully mastering them, one could never be able to truly control the skill and even make it stronger, not to mention that combining skills, which allowed people to deal devastating damage when done properly, could never be done if one didn't have good control over their skills.

What Reign was now doing was making a new attack, one that wasn't a skill, but was just as deadly as a skill.

He poured a ton of mana into his index finger and concentrated it to the tip. It happened quickly, and Reign had prepared it beforehand, so when his finger touched the demon, the attack was ready.

A beam of lightning was fired from the finger, which easily penetrated through the chest of the demon and continued forward, nearly hitting another demon. The beam was only slightly thicker than Reign's index finger, but that was enough to deal some devastating damage. 

The demon spat out blood from the attack and jumped back quickly before kneeling on the ground. Reign's attack had done some serious damage to his body as the lightning had fried his inside.

Reign was actually pleasantly surprised by the new attack as he didn't expect it would penetrate through the demon without any difficulty.

'Hmmm, the closer the target is to my finger, the more damage it deals.'

Since the attack was a beam of highly concentrated mana which was boosted by Reign's lightning, the farther it went, the less concentrated the mana would be as it would slowly disperse.

"Damn, do you even need my help?" The peak Tier IV joked as he saw the state the demon was in. Even he was surprised that one attack from Reign, one that didn't even look that serious as they didn't feel that much mana being used, was able to inflict such a terrifying injury.

"Well, I can deal with all three of them, but I don't know if any of them possess a skill or item that might defend them or allow them to escape, that is why I need you here, none of these demons are allowed to leave, especially not that one."

Reign didn't want the demons to know about him right now. His strength and ability to harm souls should be kept a secret for as long as possible. With the demons not knowing his strength, nor the fact that they already knew about the artifact and how to get it, he and the others would have an easier time when it came to dealing with them.

Reign smirked at the demons who were now even more on edge as he got his swords out and was ready to continue fighting.

During the previous clash, Reign hadn't done any damage to them as he was focused on not letting the third one escape. He knew that the device in his hands was quite valuable since they were trying to get away with it, so he was doing his best to stop the demon and get his hands on it.

Fighting against three demons was a bit tough since they were all of the same rank as he was. As peak Tier IV demons, they weren't pushovers, and Reign had been lucky to catch one of them off guard with his speed and deal such high damage to him.

"Now, shall we continue?" Reign asked as he suddenly let go of one of his swords before putting the other one back in its sheath. Just as the demons were wondering what the hell he was doing, Reign went into a low stance and grabbed his sword as lightning flickered around him.

The demons felt a powerful mana fluctuation coming from him, which was a sign that he was going to use a strong skill. The three of them glanced at each other before they grimaced as the rock snake charged at them as well while the Tier IV human stayed back and controlled it from afar.

"We might be in trouble if we try to block this." One of the demons said as they all dodged the snake that burrowed into the ground. The moment they did so, Reign smirked and moved, appearing in front of one of them in an instant.

He had chosen the one he had already injured.

With his incredible speed, Reign only needed an instant to get in front of him and swing his sword forward, but the demon smirked as he suddenly disappeared, making Reign hit nothing but air.

The demon, together with another, appeared right above Reign and attacked. One used daggers, while the other used two small scythes.

Reign's feet landed on the ground and he quickly moved, evading the attacks of the two that cut deep in the soil before they once again attacked Reign.

The daggers arrived first and Reign quickly blocked one with his sword before grabbing the demon's wrist and making the second dagger stop a mere inch from his throat. The demon sneered as his comrade attacked from the side, his two scythes coming from each side as he planned to decapitate Reign.

Reign sneered as well as the demon suddenly widened his eyes and quickly jumped to the side as Reign's sword appeared behind him, almost stabbing him in the back.

'Tch, his reflexes are good.' Reign thought as he glanced at the demon that managed to dodge his sneak attack before pulling his head back and headbutting the demon who used daggers.

The attack made the demon's head cock back strongly as he felt as if the world was spinning for a brief moment before his consciousness was back to normal.

He gritted his teeth as Reign grabbed both of his wrists, letting go of the other sword and making it levitate and attack the other demon while he was dealing with this one. The moment the demon pushed his head forward, he was met with another headbutt, and this one hurt just as much as the previous one.

His already flat nose was even flatter as some blood started flowing out. The fact that he was the one that Reign had already injured before with his beam of lightning meant he was already in a worse state than the others.
