Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 355 Other Half Of The Broken Sword



"This, this is?" Reign asked with a surprised tone as he looked at the item in front of him. As the dark veil lifted he was able to see what the item was. A sword, to be more exact, a broken upper half of a sword was presented to Reign who simply stared at it with wonder. Even without checking the item he already knew what it was, the shaking of his broken sword that was hanging in the scabbard on Reign's waist only further confirmed his thoughts.

[ Broken Sword of Dominance – unusable ]

That was the only description the item had, the description however was exactly what made Reign's eyes open even wider as he took the blade carefully. He put it back on the table in his room before taking out the sword he had used for a long time now. As he put the two on the table, both pieces of the sword started humming, but even after Reign tried putting them together, nothing happened.

"You need to bring those to a master blacksmith boy, only someone like that can fix the sword." Aethion's voice could be heard inside Reign's head as the latter nodded his head. Luckily for him, he already knew of a master blacksmith that resided at the castle, not to mention that the elves had masters amongst them as well. If he could somehow get them to work on the sword together, then maybe there was a chance for the sword to become even more powerful than before?

Reign clenched both of his fists at the thought, that if he could somehow elevate the sword to rank SS, then his power would be increased by a great amount, not to mention the fact that he would be able to use the sword for a very long time.

His katana wasn't as useful as it was before, as for the rank S sword that the king had rewarded him with, it shook violently once Reign grabbed it. It was obvious that Reign would need to take some time and subdue the sword spirit, otherwise, he would be unable to use it, just like he wasn't able to use the broken sword when he first got it.

"But still, I was able to use the gloves without any difficulty, not to mention that both Beast and Laura were both able to use the two rank S items they had received without any problems, why am I the only one that needs to do this again?" Reign sighed as he put his weapons back.

"Maybe the gloves didn't pose any problem because I was the one that killed their previous owner, perhaps the spirit had been subdued at that point already?" Reign once again thought out loud as he sat on his bed, the spirits of the items were honestly not a big deal, even if none of the items he would get in the future were to cooperate with him, he could always use force to make them submit.

Of course, he would rather have an item that wouldn't need to be dealt with like that, but it was of small concern for him. Reign lay down on his bed as he thought about what he was going to do, sparring was something he was definitely going to do with all the people that would cooperate, but first, he would take time to subdue his new sword tomorrow.

As Reign was thinking, he heard the door of his room creak as it opened. A figure of a beautiful woman appeared in front of Reign as he chuckled before kissing Lieara who had once again snuck into his room. The two once again shared a bed, only this time, the woman didn't leave immediately in the morning.

She stared at Reign as he woke up then flashed him a beautiful smile before the two once again did some morning stretches. She knew that he would soon return to his planet as his mission was over, he was summoned here to help the kingdom with the war, and since the war was won, he was no longer needed.

The system would always act upon its rules, since Reign helped the kingdom out and there was nothing more for him to do, it would summon him back soon and she would probably never see the man again. There were of course the terminals that could be used in order to keep in touch with someone, no matter where in the universe one may be, but Lieara wasn't interested in having a romantic relationship with Reign, or with anyone else at the moment.

As for Reign, after leaving his room, he first went to the terminals and sent a message to Greenie, he told him that he was done with his challenge and could return at any moment if there was a situation that he needed to solve back home. He doubted that something like that had happened, but it was always better to check with Greenie than to simply continue being here without at least doing that.

The terminals Reign had installed in his territory were more advanced compared to the ones they had previously used at the castle. Not only could one send messages, but the system would also notify them about the message if they were in the area, making it easy to communicate over long distances.

The terminals in the kingdom were the same, and perhaps even back at the castle, they were upgraded. Only 4 minutes had passed since Reign sent the message when Greenie responded.

[ Some things have happened, but nothing major, you don't need to hurry boss, I'm enough to keep everyone safe for now. ]

"Some things have happened?" Reign raised an eyebrow at Greenie's message, but since the latter had said that he can deal with things, for now, Reign decided to stay here for a couple more days. He knew that Greenie would tell him if something bad was going on but since he didn't and made sure to let Reign know that he was enough to keep people safe, Reign didn't worry too much.

He trusted Greenie wholeheartedly, not only because he was Reign's subordinate, but because he had gone through much with the party and was considered more of a member than a simple subordinate. Reign would never try to force Greenie to do anything, and the latter would never betray him, he was certain of that.

"Goddamn it!" Reign cursed as he took another break from trying to subdue the sword spirit. It turned out to be much harder compared to back when Reign managed to subdue the broken sword. It wasn't as if it was impossible or that Reign found it too hard, it was the fact that it was going to take a long time to do it.

"Why the hell is it taking so long?" Reign thought as he took a break. He could feel that he was making progress with the sword spirit with each swing of the sword, but the progress he was making was so slow that it would take him about 4 more days of doing the same thing in order to subdue the weapon.

"You're quite a tricky one huh?" Reign said as he stared at the weapon in his hands that hummed slightly from his words.

"Well, sorry but I don't have that much time, so we'll do this the hard way." Reign smiled as he once again took to the center of the training field he was in. The area around him was empty as nobody was currently present here. Suddenly Reign released his mana and concentrated it on the sword, his lightning flickered around him before coating the sword fully.

With the pressure of his mana fully focused on the sword, Reign started practicing the swordplay that Jack thought him. This time it was much better than before, he could feel that the sword wasn't too happy with the fact that Reign was pretty much forcing it to submit, but thanks to Reign's mana and lightning, it had no other choice than to slowly buckle to the pressure.

The king, Lios, and Raigon were currently observing Reign from the top of the castle. Every move Reign made was observed by them and upon seeing him release his mana and then continue trying to subdue the sword, they all nodded.

"He got the hang of it."

"Yeah, this sword isn't like other weapons, you need a lot more pressure in order to subdue it." The king spoke after Raigon before turning around. They had only gathered here to see what Reign was going to do with the sword, upon seeing that he was now forcing it to submit, they were all a bit surprised as most people would try to subdue it the nice way. That of course would have been a mistake.

Inside the ruins of an ancient city, a battle had finally finished. Hundreds of monster corpses littered the ground while bits and pieces of them were stuck on the buildings around the party of 20 who were scattered around in order to search for something. Amongst the 20 people, however, two were not moving, but rather they were currently talking.

"So you're also from Earth huh?" A middle-aged man asked Wolf as he wiped his blood from his sword.

"So the system has finally arrived there ey?"
