Is this really a Game?!

"You, you don't think he used it, don't you?" Reign asked Wolf before his eyes widened further after the dagger suddenly started scattering in the wind. From the tip of the blade, all the way to the pommel, the dagger turned into dust and scattered in the wind, never to be seen again.

"What the hell happened during his challenge, for him to actually use the dagger?" Wolf asked in a low voice as he neared Beast, only to suddenly be stopped by Drayce and the other three Transcendents that suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Don't get closer, let us examine him first." The queen said before using some of her powers.

"Remnants of world energy, even though he wasn't directly hit by it, merely being in its presence was enough to deal grave damage, thankfully, it was a Transcendent that caused his wounds." The queen said as her eyes glowed green.

"What do you mean thankfully, he was attacked by a Transcendent, isn't that forbidden?!" Reign asked with a shout as the queen nodded at him.

"Correct, but that also means that we can use our full power to heal him, which means that he will be fine, although he will need some time to recuperate."

"To think he would use the dagger so soon, he was lucky, without an item like that, he would have died," Drayce said before Eldar and Jack looked at him.

"What dagger?"

"The [ Transcendent-Slaying dagger ], you guys have probably heard about it, it is one of the rare items that my master's temple produces after all."

Eldar and Jack's eyes opened wide at his words before they stared at Beast.

"So this guy, he killed a Transcendent?"

"We can't be sure, if the enemy was below the 5th Cleansing, then he is dead, no doubt about it, but if he was of the 5th Cleansing, then he is injured, heavily injured, but alive."

"Can you check?" Reign suddenly asked Drayce who shook his head with a smile present on his face.

"Don't worry, your friend is someone marked by a God, the matter will be investigated right away by the said God."

"It's weird that a Transcendent would try to do anything to someone that is marked, so the Transcendent in question either has solid backing and was not scared of the Low-God that has marked Beast, or he is a lone wolf that doesn't care about such things, he could also be a lunatic  as well."

"But, I can ask my master about Beast's patron God, if she is not a powerful one, the patron of the Transcendent he has killed might try to take revenge, I highly doubt they would do that after sensing the marks on you two, however," Drayce said before the queen extended her right arm and Beast's body started levitating.

"I will take him to the medical chambers, I can assure you that he will be fine, I will personally take care of him before he is fully healed, so don't worry about him." The queen said as Wolf and Reign nodded to her, only to turn around after hearing loud stomps nearing them.

Greenie was running with all of his might, and upon seeing Beast and the state he was in, his eyes turned red in fury before he stopped in front of everybody.

"What happened, is he alright?!" Greenie shouted in worry before Reign put a hand on his shoulder and explained everything.

"A Transcendent, why would such a being attack him, what the hell?!" Greenie shouted again in disbelief as Reign and Wolf shook their heads, fully aware of how absurd the situation was and as confused by the whole thing as Greenie was.

Far away in the universe, inside an enormous mansion that was almost as large as Earth, a loud shout reverberated, shaking parts of the mansion.

"WHO DARED ATTACK HIM?!"

The Low God that had appeared that day with Raegan and the other two Gods, Kristy, shouted in anger as her eyes turned red.

"Azaleon, come here immediately!" Her shout once again reverberated through the mansion as a white-haired man sighed before suddenly appearing in front of Kristy's door. He politely knocked on it before entering, only to find Kristy in a robe as her long, dark-green hair was floating in the air.

Her cyan eyes were slightly shining while a symbol appeared on them.

"You miss, what happened?!" Azaleon suddenly asked with a shocked expression as Kristy simply stared at him.

"A Transcendent attacked the one I marked on Earth."

"A Transcendent did what?!" Azaleon exclaimed in shock before his eyes turned serious.

"To dare attack the person you have marked, I will find him immediately."

"No need, I sensed a great power next to my marked, he is fine, but the Transcendent is gone, most likely killed," Kristy said before a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.

"Find the one behind him, I sensed a mark on him, I want an explanation from the God he was serving."

"It will be done immediately, Young Miss," Azaleon said before disappearing from Kristy's sight.

It only took Azaleon some 10 minutes to return with news.

"I have found his patron, it is a Mid-God that is serving the Alliance, what are your orders?"

"What did father tell you, I know that my outburst from before has not escaped him."

"He only wished to know what has happened, I told him, he has given me full control over the Ionoms, I will depart with them at your command."

"Go, I want an explanation from that person as to why one of his men, one that is a Transcendent, dared attack the person I have marked, furthermore, place some of the Ionoms close to Earth, if anyone dares go there to find him, have them captured immediately," Kristy said with a cold voice as Azaleon bowed before departing.

"Trying to harm the one I have marked, you are courting death!" Kristy said in a low tone as the glass she was holding broke into pieces. The glass itself was made out of a special kind of glass that even a Saint would have trouble damaging, and yet, when faced with the wrath of a God, it broke with ease.

As for Azaleon, he had departed from the enormous mansion with over a hundred armored men that were riding on dragon-like beasts. The beasts all looked the same, they were a mixture of a dragon and a horse and their speed was terrifying.

The men wore black suits of armor and each of them had incredible auras while black miasma spilled over from their armor, similar to how the black miasma spilled from the Death Rider's body back when Reign had battled against him.

Of course, one could not compare the Death Riders to the troop that was following Azaleon as each one of them was a Saint, a being of incredible power that could decimate all life on a planet by himself.

It took Azaleon and the Ionoms about 2 hours to reach the place where the God that was the patron of the Transcendent that had attacked Beast resided at. It was a small castle that was situated on an asteroid, one that was about the size of Europe.

Inside the castle, the Mid-God who Azaleon was going to meet had already received news that his man had died and had sent a Saint over to Earth, of course, he did not forget to send an application beforehand to the Alliance.

The overseer, although less powerful than he was, was the one responsible for the planet, and he could not simply send one of his men to do whatever they wanted to do.

He sent a Saint to check the situation and take a look at the person that had killed the Transcendent, but he would do nothing else.

Merely 15 minutes ago, he had received news from the Saint that the person was indeed on Earth and that he was alive. Furthermore, the Saint had given him the news that two men were close to the guy, and both of them were marked, and by gods who were much stronger than him.

That made revenge impossible, even if he was stronger than the patron of that guy, he would not dare attack someone that was marked by a High God, not to mention a peak God like Miriam whose mark was immediately noticed by the Saint, as was the lightning bolt that was on Reign.

As the Mid-God was thinking of what he could do, he was shocked to sense a powerful presence right in front of his castle. The aura of a High God filled the surrounding area as a shout shook the entire castle.

"Glosan of the Alliance, come out, Azaleon of the Heavenly Charms Mansion has come to see you!"

The words 'Heavenly Charms Mansion' made Glosan, the Mid-God who was the patron of the Transcendent killed by Beast, jump a bit. The mansion was a famous one, as the head of the mansion was a Supreme that had reached the realm a long time ago and was considered one of the strongest in the universe.

'What does the Heavenly Charms Mansion want with me?' Glosan thought before he suddenly received an encrypted message from the Saint he had sent over to Earth.

"Master, 3 Ionoms arrived at Earth, they are looking for me."

"The patron of that kid seems to be the only daughter of the head of the Heavenly Charms Mansion."
