Is this really a Game?!

Boom!

Licht was once again launched back from Reign's attack as his body left a dent on the wall of the gorge. Ever since Lisea and Reign joined forces and started fighting against Licht together the man simply had no room to breathe. Each of his attacks would get blocked by one of them while the other would close in and attack Licht, sometimes they would both launch long-range attacks at Licht, forcing him to expend a great amount of mana in order to defend against the attacks.

If Licht was fighting against either one of them, he was certain that he could at least retreat safely at the end, even with Reign's incredible speed he was sure that it would only give him some small problems until he manages to escape, but with two powerful first evolution combatants joining forces to go against him, he was destined to lose.

Nothing that Licht did was effective, every single attack of his was blocked or evaded, while all attempts of escape were thwarted by Reign who could get in his way and stop him before Lisea arrived and started attacking Licht together with him.

The robe that Licht wore was now tattered, his hair was a mess as some parts were burnt off while a bit of lightning still flickered around. The devices in his hands were starting to crack as they weren't designed to be used so many times in succession while the purple balls that were floating around him had lost their splendor and were now shining with a pale purple light.

It was obvious to all that Licht was going to lose, some of the top combatants from the coalition had already given up and had surrendered to the army of Riplas, Lico for one didn't have to fight a hard battle as his enemies were also trying to look for ways to escape, all of them started panicking however after noticing that there was nowhere they could escape to. The coalition was done for, not only was the king of Older dead but Licht would soon be defeated and he would either be killed or captured.

The other two first evolution combatants wouldn't fare better, if Reign's words were true and Raigon truly was the Judge, then that meant that his power after going through the evolution wasn't small and he would definitely be able to help the king of Riplas take down the two first evolution combatants of the coalition.

Without their lords, the four kingdoms would soon collapse as not only would Riplas attack them to take their territory, but the surrounding kingdoms would do the same in order to strengthen themselves. Nobody was going to let Riplas take the whole cake, even though they had deserved it after fighting for so long and managing to defeat the coalition.

If Riplas took all the territories, then they would without a doubt become the strongest in the area, the two kingdoms which were as powerful as it was were definitely not going to let that happen, and neither were the other kingdoms in the area. There was a high possibility that the kingdoms would soon move as they definitely had spies that were observing the war.

Clang!

Reign attacked Licht and managed to grab his hands, the gloves collided with the devices and Licht immediately used the vibrations in order to shake Reign off, unfortunately for him, it didn't work that well as the gloves were able to mitigate a part of the vibrations while Reign had used his lightning in order to counter the vibrations and attack Licht.

Lisea however immediately came from the side and put the end of her spear at Licht's neck, one move and she could kill Licht.

"Surrender Licht, you have no chance of winning, and neither does the coalition," Lisea said as she looked at Licht whose face showed a painful expression.

"You're talented, there is a great possibility that the king will let you become a member of the kingdom if you show that you are loyal, I know that a person like yourself doesn't want to be under anybody's rule, but it's still better than dying."

"Tch, that's easy for you to say once you won, if you had lost, do you expect me to believe that you would surrender to us?" Licht said with anger as he stared at Lisea whose face remained to be expressionless.

"No, I would fight till me last breathe in order to kill as many of you bastards as I could, but don't forget Licht, it was you that decided to form a coalition and attack us, you are the aggressors so don't even try to put me in your shoes," Lisea spoke with a cold voice as she continued staring at Licht.

"If you wish to continue, then I will gladly take your head and present it to the king before throwing it over the walls of your capital city, I will make sure that everyone knew that it was my weapon that ended your life, that it was me who in the end had the pleasure of killing you!"

"So be it, I will not kneel down to anyone, so come Lisea, come and!-" Licht's words were cut short as a powerful burst of lightning hit his body, the lightning immediately stunned him as he had stopped using any mana to defend himself.

Before Licht could do anything, however, a powerful punch was planted at his solar plexus before Reign kneed him in the face as the latter bowed down a bit from the punch. The knee was strong enough to immediately break Licht's nose and shake him up, before Licht was able to regain his clarity, Reign appeared behind him and immediately put his arm around Licht's neck.

In mere moments the two men fell down as Reign put a leg above Licht's body and stopped him from moving, it didn't matter what Licht tried to do, his physical prowess was simply too weak. When being compared to Reign, both his strength and experience in close-quarters combat were akin to a child's compared to Reign who not only trained with his father and uncle since he was a kid but had also never stopped fighting in close-range ever since the game had started back on Earth.
As the seconds passed, Licht's movement became slower and more sluggish until he finally stopped moving. Reign had managed to choke him out right in front of Lisea who looked at him with surprise.

"What, I gathered he would be more useful alive than dead, you probably have some of those mana blocking chains and shackles right?" Reign asked Lisea as he got up from the ground.

"We do, it's just, I never really expected you to do something like this, what if he decided to use a sacrificial move and take you down with him?"

"He wouldn't, you saw it for yourself, he's a person that doesn't mind dying when fighting against someone, at least that's what he believed to be, but when put in a situation like this, he would never kill himself when knowing that he would simply be knocked out and captured."

"So you're saying he's a coward?"

"Not at all, he just values his life too much to willingly end it, well, I guess most of us do." Reign said before looking at the fortification, the enemy army had stopped resisting completely after seeing how one of their first evolution fighters had been defeated, they knew that there was absolutely no chance of victory and surrendering was the only way they could survive.

Of course, there were those that continued fighting, they were utterly loyal to their respective kingdoms and would fight till their last. Those kinds of soldiers and officers were dealt with quickly, no matter how powerful one was or how desperate one could be, when hundreds of arrows fall down on them, they would ultimately die.

The more powerful ones were dealt with by the top combatants while there were others that simply faked their surrender in order to deal a surprise attack and take down more enemy soldiers.

Of course, those people were the minority, no matter how loyal one was to their kingdom, they all had friends and family that waited for them back home, they didn't want to lose their life for nothing when the war was already lost.

…

Boom!

Another giant palm fell down on the queen of Lusom as Raigon mercilessly bombarded her with attacks. She was the weakest of the four first evolution combatants of the coalition and she was already a bit tired after fighting against the king. When put against Raigon who was at his peak condition and was even flying, she simply had nothing she could do to win.

Most of her attacks would get dodged by Raigon who simply continued bombarding her with attacks while keeping his distance. The battle was completely one-sided and there was absolutely nothing the queen could do in order to win the fight.

The king had already managed to win against his opponent, his blade was covered in blood as he had pierced through the man's chest as the latter refused to surrender. He was now simply spectating the fight between the queen and his nephew, nodding proudly at Raigon who had the upper hand in the fight. The war has finally been won.
