Is this really a Game?!

Aethion only needed about 5 minutes to get the information. He was only asking for a map, and the immense pain the man\'s soul was going through made him break fairly quickly, leading to him telling Aethion what he wanted to know.

"Continue with the interrogation, get everything we need from that guy before moving to the other two, I want to know just what the hell is going on in this place." Reign said as he and the other two started moving.

With the mental map that Reign had of the entire building, it wasn\'t hard for them to get to the basement, but it would take some time. There were elevators present in the building which would speed up their journey a lot, but unfortunately, the elevators could only be used by those who were members of the gang.

Even if they kidnapped a person and made him use the elevator for them, it would only take an instant for the gang member to sound the alarm, so doing that was out of the question. Still, it wasn\'t as if they didn\'t have any options left.

As two members of the gang entered the elevator, which looked incredibly similar to the one that was everywhere before the game started, Reign and the other two entered with them, immediately killing them as the door was about to close and placing their bodies on the roof of the elevator. 

The three bodies in the tower were also moved. Reign had placed them on the roof of the tower and Wolf had used his flames to heat up some metal pipes before placing them where the hole was, mending the hole and making it hard for people to notice the difference.

Thanks to the fact that the tower they were on was the tallest one present, nobody would be able to notice the three bodies for quite some time, and Reign had also used some ropes to firmly bind their bodies on the rooftop so that they wouldn\'t fall down. The more time passed before anybody noticed the dead bodies, the better.

Reign had used his darkness to hide and the other two, and as the elevator stopped midway, two men entered. They were both Tier II and didn\'t notice the abnormality of the back of the elevator where Reign and the other two were, instead, they turned their backs on them and used the elevator to go further below before leaving. Reign and the others of course left with them.

They were now on the second floor, but they would need to not only go to the ground floor, but also go to where the entrance to the basement was, and it was guarded. The basement was on the other end of the base compared to where they were currently standing, so they not only had to take the stairs down and reach the ground floor, but they would also need to walk for quite a bit before reaching the entrance.

To get to the entrance meant that they had to walk past many people who were on the ground floor, as that was the widest floor, as well as the one with the highest concentration of people inside the entire base.

The inside of the base was painted gray and was quite depressing. There weren\'t any decorations on the wall, and only the bare necessities were present inside, like chairs, desks, and the like.

It seemed that the gang members who were inside the base were all relatively well-mannered, not like the ones that Reign and the others had come across outside. Not only that but they were decently trained. None of them seemed to be bothered by the lack of any furnishing inside the base and they all did whatever their job was without any complaints. 

Many people could be seen standing near windows and looking outside while holding mana guns in their hands. The mana guns were weapons that were easy to be used, but even in Doncaster, they weren\'t very popular thanks to the fact that they were weaker than other weapons when it came to their explosiveness and speed.

One could become more proficient with other weapons and fight better with them, but in the case of mana guns, the only things that a person could improve were aiming and the speed at which one would channel mana in the weapon.

The power the guns could utilize was fixed, and if one used too much mana, they would explode. Compared to the bow, for example, one can\'t use more and more mana to make the arrow more powerful and the bow more durable in order to shoot it, nor could one attack faster than the gun was able to, leading to it being heavily limited in use. The crossbow was another weapon that was limited, and not very popular.

Of course, when it came to those that were not good at fighting and had managed to reach a higher realm mostly because they went with other teams or were crafting all the time, they could use the guns during a war in order to help out from a distance.

In this case, however, Reign believed that the gang had done a good job as the guns they had were similar to sniper rifles and had scopes that allowed them to see further away. They were perfect for observing the surrounding area and alarming others if somebody suspicious has appeared nearby.

Thanks to the fact that the gunmen were all fully focused on looking through the scope of their rifles, Reign and the others could pass right behind them without caring as they weren\'t able to sense them at all. Reign\'s cloaking, for which he used both light and darkness, not only made them nearly invisible but also dampened their footsteps a lot, otherwise the metal floor on which they were walking would easily give them out.

They were also using mana to further soften their footsteps. By pouring mana into their feet and letting it go out through the soles of the feet, as well as their shoes, they were able to create a thin mana barrier between their shoes and the floor, which cushioned their footsteps, and with the cloaking, they were almost impossible to be heard.

Every single gang member in the base was dressed the same. They had black pants and a gray shirt, some of the higher ranking ones also had a coat on them. The emblem of the gang was visible on the coats and shirts and was printed in dark red. The emblem for this gang was the face of a wolf. Right above the wolf, was a butcher\'s knife, which was the emblem of the Buther himself.

The emblem wasn\'t the reason why the Butcher was called as such, it was actually the opposite. Upon taking over the city, the Butcher heard how people were calling him in private, so he decided to make the emblem like so, in order to remind them of his nickname, and why it was given to him in the first place.

Reign and the others slowly moved through the second floor before making it to the staircase that led down. They made their way down but were almost uncovered by a gang member who was hurrying down and running down the stairs. He almost hit Elijah, but Wolf was quick to respond and pulled the young man over to him, allowing the gang member to pass a mere inch from them.

In his haste, the gang member had been unable to spot anything weird, and they were safe.

Upon making it to the ground floor, the number of people almost tripled, which made it harder for Reign and the others to move. Even if they were keeping their distance from the gang members who were all Tier I and Tier II, if one came fast from behind, they could unintentionally hit them and cause them to be discovered, which would force them to start slaughtering everyone present before speeding to the basement and hoping that an alarm wouldn\'t be raised immediately.

Reign and the others weren\'t afraid of the gang members in this base, they were all weak and would be easily slaughtered by them, but they didn\'t want the boss of the gang to find out about them and potentially destroy whatever was below, not to mention that the massacre of an entire gang would set the other gangs in panic, as well as the rest of the city.

Reign and the others thus moved slowly and made sure to be as alert as they could. It took them a long time to get to the other side, about 40 minutes, but they managed to do it without making anybody suspicious.

As they stood in front of the entrance to the basement, they could see four men guarding the entrance, they were all in armor and were holding maces in their hands.
