Is this really a Game?!

A small pendant could be seen on Licht\'s neck, that was the most powerful item he had, a rank S item. Other than that, however, Licht had a small crown on his head which was another rank S item, compared to the other first evolution combatants of smaller kingdoms, Licht actually had two rank S items that were able to help him out immensely.

He was mainly a long-range attacker, with the help of the devices he created and his great control over mana, he could bombard enemies from afar and decimate them before they could close the distance. Of course, when fighting against someone like Lisea who was not only very powerful but experienced as well, his strategy wouldn\'t perfectly work as she was powerful enough to quickly close the distance at times and engage in close-quarter combat with him.

Of course, just like Lisea had some long-range capabilities, Licht had some close-range capabilities as well, some of the devices he had created were specifically made to help him out if someone closed the distance and he used them masterfully. From multiple shields that would spring up and float around him in order to block Lisea\'s attacks all the way to small devices that he would put over his hands or other body parts that could deal massive short-range damage.

Right now he had two circular devices on both of his palms, even though Lisea had fought against Licht multiple times before, this was the first time she had seen such weird devices being used. Each looked like a circular metal plate and they looked quite useless at first glance, of course, they were nothing like that as they functioned with vibrations.

The moment the devices touched something, Licht could use mana to deliver a powerful vibration from them, the vibration would quickly travel from the devices to whatever they touched. If Licht picked up a rock for example and used the device on it, the rock would crumble in mere seconds, that was how dangerous the two devices were.

Unfortunately for Licht, he had only managed to make two of such devices, and he was of course keeping both for himself. The devices could only be made with his help, not because he wanted to keep a part of the creation a secret, but simply because he needed to use his powerful mana in order to imbue the devices with the correct power and to draw a small array on it that was almost impossible to be seen by the naked eye.

The devices were a surprise to Lisea who had tried to quickly injure Licht with one skill she had hidden to deal with him.

[ Flash Step ]

The skill allowed Lisea to move many times faster than normal, of course, there were limits to the skill, one couldn\'t travel for more than 50 meters when using it, and you could only move in a straight line. With the help of the skill, Lisea quickly closed the distance and attacked Licht, only to be blocked by the devices in his hands that immediately sent out vibrations that traveled through the spear to her body.

Even though her body was very powerful and such a skill would be unable to deal significant damage, it was still enough to do some damage internally and shake her up a bit. Fighting against Licht was already difficult enough as he was one whose ability, although a common one, was quite tricky to deal with.

[ Mana Control ]

The ability Licht had was simply one that allowed him to control mana many times more easily compared to others. With the help of his mana, he was able to make incredible devices and also have a large arsenal of different attacking methods and skills to use against others. Mana lasers, mana blasts, explosive mana balls and missiles, mana bullets, giant mana swords, the list was enormous.

What didn\'t help matters was that Licht was very talented and was also a genius that could easily create new skills when he needed them. When giving someone that was already talented a smart skill that increased his control over mana, it would result in a monster like him being born. He was without a doubt the most talented person that existed in the whole area right now.

As the battle continued and intensified, both parties went all out, Lisea\'s spear suddenly enlarged as water suddenly started splashing around, that was her ability, [ Water Manipulation ]. Even though such an ability could only show its true power when near a large body of water, with enough power the user could use mana to launch water-based attacks.

Lisea for example could create a wave that could devastate a large area, shoot out condensed water that could cut through steel, coat her weapon in a thin layer of water that was constantly moving around and acted as a saw and more. Her weapon was one that complimented her ability a bit, although not perfect as it still focused more on physical prowess, which was fine for her.

Licht of course followed and used his two items, the pendant\'s skill was one that would increase his overall mana and would allow him to constantly barrage his enemies with attacks with no worry while the crown was able to strengthen his body and give his mana attributes.

Licht only needed to will it and his mana would change, from pure mana to fire, lightning, water, and more, he could do things that were similar to what Raigon was able to achieve thanks to the crown, of course, the lightning, for example, would never be as powerful as the one Reign had, but it was still powerful enough to counter certain enemies and their abilities.

Lico on the other hand continued to fight against the enemy top combatants, the battle was intense and even he was starting to release his full power. A whirlwind took place around him as he fought with no holding back anymore, the mighty wind left cuts on the ground and walls of the gorge as his opponents did their best in order to withstand his attacks and fight back.

[ Everlasting Wind of the West ]

[ The Wind of Death ]

[ Sky Splitter ]

Lico suddenly used multiple skills in quick succession as he attacked his opponents. The first skill was the one that created the whirlwind while the other two were targeted only at his enemies and did little AOE damage. [ The Wind of Death ] was a skill that allowed Lico to condense air to its fullest before shooting it out toward someone in a similar manner to a cannon, of course since Lico had an incredibly high understanding of his skill he was able to condense the wind so much that it was like a bullet before the opponent even knew what was happening, his left shoulder was pierced through by shoulder.

The [ Sky Splitter ] on the other hand was a much more violent skill, Lico was able to create an 8-meter sword by using his mana that was quickly wrapped up in wind, with a gentle wave of the hand, the sword was brought down on his opponents that had to work together in order to withstand it.

A huge explosion suddenly took place as Lisea and Licht both backed away from each other. Lisea was more powerful normally, but Licht had two rank S items, and thanks to that he was currently a bit more powerful than her. The difference however wasn\'t that large since Lisea\'s spear was a more powerful rank S item compared to his items individually.

The two fought for some time as no clear winner could be seen, both of them were powerful and for either one to win against the other wasn\'t easy. It wasn\'t as if the two hadn\'t clashed before, during the whole war they had fought once previously, but of course, nothing came out of it. Today was different however, Lisea wanted to take down Licht and go help out the fortification where Raigon was, while Licht wanted to draw this whole thing out so that the king of Older can arrive and attack Lisea from behind.

As the two clashed again, they suddenly stopped as an enormous amount of mana could be felt from above, Licht was ecstatic at first as he thought his ally had finally arrived, only to change his expression after sensing the mana which was completely unfamiliar to him. Before he could do anything lightning flashed as a person arrived in front of him, two swords flashed as Reign joined the battle and attacked Licht immediately.
