Is this really a Game?!

While Reign and the others were fighting the horde of enemies in the town square an interesting event was unfolding in a faraway part of the universe.

"Get back here you piece of s##t!" Miriam shouted as a huge dragon claw grabs a man that was running away from her.

"You crazy woman, pursuing me for so long!" Flames appear around the claw as it gets burned to ashes. A bloody, disheveled man could be seen standing in the void looking at Miriam angrily.

"I am a prince of the dragon race!" The man shouts furiously "How dare you try and kill me!"

"A worthless piece of garbage, that is what you are." Miriam stares at the man with a cold look in her eyes as purple flames suddenly appear around her. A huge stream of fire was sent towards the man as he hastily counterattacks with his own flames.

The flames die down and the man looked much worse than before as parts of his skin and hair were burned off. He was at the same tier as Miriam, but her powers were far above his own, even his flames were not able to harm her.

"You really want to kill me huh, are you not afraid of the consequences, even your teacher can't save you from the wrath of the whole dragon race!" The man shouts at her with a crazed look in his eyes, Miriam simply scoffs at him before resuming her attack.

Before she could do so however a couple of ripples appeared in the void as 3 figures were shown, they all attacked Miriam and dispelled her attack.

"I see, so this is why you were so desperate to get here instead of a safe place." Miriam looks at the dragon prince as he smiles savagely at her.

"You f-ing bitch, I'm gonna tear you apart!" The prince and the other three start attacking Miriam as she continues fighting. She was strong, stronger than most at her tier as her, but fighting against 4 people was a bit of a stretch to even her. Slowly small wounds could be seen on her body.

"Aioel, go and help your senior apprentice sister." A voice could be heard close to the battle, Aioel nods respectfully before showing himself near the five people fighting. Before they could respond he had already attacked them.

"Damn it, to think someone like you would actually be here." One of the three people curses as he looks at the white-clothed Aioel who had an angry expression on his face.

"Attacking big sis like this, you four don't deserve to live any longer." A longsword was suddenly in his hand as he attacked the men viciously with Miriam who looked at him with some worry in her eyes.

"Why are you here Aioel?"

"Because of you of course, do you have any idea how big of a ruckus you have caused big sis?"

"I know, but that bastard, he actually dared to come at the border of my territory and propose that I become his concubine, that fcking bastard!" Miriam shouts angrily as her flames rage even stronger than before. With the help of Aioel the fight had taken a turn, even though they were outnumbered the two had a clear advantage over their enemies.

In a short period of time, two of their enemies had perished while a third actually managed to escape. The prince was now alone as he looked at the two.

"The vice-commander of the legion, why are you here?" The prince asks Aioel with a dark face. Before an answer could come however Miriam attacked him. Her giant claw grabbed the man once again, only this time he had no more power left to defend himself.

"Die!" Miriam shouts as she applies strength to her claw.

Swish

Before she could kill the man however her claw was cut cleanly in half. The man was standing in the void, uninjured as another person was behind him.

"Do you really think of my dragon race so lowly little girl, to even attempt to kill my son, unforgivable." The man looks at Miriam with a dark face as he slowly walks towards the two.

"Aioel, tell teacher not to come out," Miriam tells Aioel telepathically as she looks at the dark-robed man. He wasn't strong enough to fight her master, but she had a bad feeling about this, all the events that led to this were simply too weird, the prince's proclamation, the fact that their enemies died without even giving them any trouble, and now for an elder of the dragon race, an Ancient God to appear so suddenly, it was all way too fishy to be a coincidence.

"I have great respect towards your teacher, but even if he was here right now I would still kill you, a low born such as you trying to act as if you are above the true dragons, laughable." The man raises his hand as darkness suddenly shrouds everything. A huge hand was materialized as it came down on the two. Dodging was useless as they could feel that the whole surrounding space was locked down by the man.

Before the hand could reach them however it was stopped before vanishing entirely.

"How about we end this charade, come out you guys." The white-robed man was in front of Miriam and Aioel as he looked at an empty spot in the void. He didn't even pay any attention to the dark-robed man who was simply standing aside with his son.

"Hahahahaha!" A youthful voice reverberated through the void as three people step out of it. A young man was leading the three as he looked at the man with a smile on his face.

"You were able to see through our concealment so quickly, you truly do live up to your name, but to actually come out with such confidence, I don't know if you are simply stupid or overconfident."

"The little pup of the dragons, I had a feeling it would be you." The man smiles in response as he looks at the three.

"So you joined hands with the Dark Ones, do you realize what this means for your dragon race, for the neutral stance your patriarch had managed to create after everything that had happened?"

"Shut up, you f-ing bastard, I am a Supreme!" The young man shouts as the space around him ripples, even some nearby planets were shaking from the power of his shout.

"But you and those other old bastards, always thinking you are better, wiser, that I was simply a kid that didn't know a thing!" The man continues shouting angrily. "Well it ends now, the patriarch, he will have no other choice but to accept this after we are finished with you!"

"Three Supremes gathered to deal with me, what shall I ever do?" The man smiles in response to the angry and arrogant words of the young man. Miriam and Aioel were looking at him with worry, their teacher was strong, incredibly strong, but to go against three Supreme Gods, that was simply too much in their eyes.

"Don't worry so much you two, it's been a long time since I had a proper challenge."

"Challenge?" One of the other two Supremes speaks up. "All of us have respect for you oh Immortal One, but to utter such arrogant words, do you truly think you are still the strongest, that you are invincible?"

The three created distance between themselves as they all create spatial cracks from using mana. The white-robed man simply pushed Miriam and Aioel away as a protective bubble formed from mana was created around them. They both tried their hardest but simply couldn't break it.

"One of the three Supremes from the dragon race, and two from the Dark Ones, why the hell would they be targeting teacher, he has always been neutral in every single war!" Miriam shouted with anger as she looked at the lonely back of her teacher who was facing the three powerhouses.

"Miriam." Aioel suddenly speaks out as he sat down in the bubble.

"W-why the hell do you look so carefree you moron, ge-"

"Miriam!" Miriam suddenly stops speaking as she looked at the stern face of her younger apprentice-brother.

"Look at teacher, don't you think, he looks a bit too happy for someone in a dangerous situation?"

"Huh, that's," Miriam looks at her teacher again before turning around, "He is smiling, why would-"

"Teacher told me before we arrived that he was a bit excited, I didn't understand his words back then but now, it seems he was excited about fighting these three."

"Excited, but he is at the same tier as them, to fight against them, that's-"

"Have you ever seen teacher struggle before?"

"What?"

"Have you ever seen him struggle in a fight, because honestly, I haven't." Aioel looks at his teacher before continuing with a calm voice. "I have seen him fight other Supremes as well but, even though it looked like it was a close fight, teacher always looked a bit down after it, like he was disappointed, I always thought he was disappointed by his own strength but, I think he was disappointed by how much weaker his opponents were."

"Disappointed, that's insane."

"Miriam, is the Supreme level really the end?" Aioel looks at her with a serious expression on his face.

"It should be, after all, there are barely any beings at such a level in the whole universe, I've never heard of anyone having power above it, not even teacher."

"Well, I think we are about to find out," Aioel responds as he crosses his legs down before proceeding to watch the cataclysmic fight in front of him.
