Reaching the Top

The death of the enemy leader and his teammates came as a slight shock to Reign and the others. They had easily defeated them, too easily. 

Reign knew that the enemy was adept at using monsters to fight for them, but he was also certain that that was not the only thing they could do, the leader for one was quite good at handling the sword, his footwork, breathing, and the way he swung the sword were all signs that showed that he had trained a lot with the sword.

Reign's last attack, although a powerful one, shouldn't have been able to simply kill the man so easily. Reign had expected his attack to be evaded or be blocked, for which he had multiple follow-up plans.

He had run a simulation in his head and was certain that he would be able to kill the enemy in about 5 to 7 attacks depending on how the leader responded, but all of it was useless as the man didn't even lift his sword or try to move before Reign's swords cut him.
