The demon leader stared at Reign who pulled his sword out and stared back at him.

The demon's body was injured, multiple wounds were present on his ethereal body, damage from not only Reign's swords and fists but also from the soul attack Reign previously unleashed.

Ethereon demons had a body that was mostly incorporeal, most of it was actually made out of their soul. That meant that most attacks would simply pass through them, but any injury their body suffered would also damage their soul and vice versa.

Reign's attack had damaged the demon's soul, and the damage soon became visible on his body as well.

The demon fell down to his knees before panting. He knew it was game over.

"Why … why is someone as strong as you here?" The demon asked Reign as he looked up, only to see Reign's cold eyes staring down at him. He was looking down on the demon, both figuratively and literally.

"I guess you just had bad luck." Reign said with a shrug before swinging his sword, decapitating the demon, and then taking his badly injured soul.

'I think I would probably have a harder time fighting a normal Tier V demon compared to these guys.'

"Of course, most people would feel the opposite way, but as a Nephilim, you are one of the rare people that can easily counter their powers, even a demon that was a couple of levels above you isn't anything difficult for you," Aethion said with a calm voice before staring at the soul of the demon leader.

"It is expected, Nephilims are amongst the most powerful races in the universe, compared to most beings, their inherent powers are simply superior in the same realm, only a handful of races could dare claim to be a match to a Nephilim in the same realm," Jared added from the side while observing the soul of the demon.

'Hey, that does make me wonder, is there a race that can be said to be the best in the universe, I mean, from what you are telling me, and from what I already know, being a Nephilim seems pretty broken already.' Reign said as he slowly walked back to the stronghold.

With the leader dead, Reign knew that the others would quickly take down the stronghold, he didn't need to hurry to help them as Liara and the guardians could also damage souls, making them very effective against the Ethereon demons.

'I mean, I have lightning together with the three abilities, there's no way for anyone to really counter me, right?'

"Correct, the strongest two powers against darkness are light and abilities connected to nature and life, and if one has them, you can just use your lightning or light to go against them, for light, darkness is one of the best counters, as is chaos energy and the like, but you can again use lightning and darkness to fight a being that has them."

"For lightning, one can use the wood element, earth, rocks, and such, but you have light and darkness to go against them, not to mention the soul manipulation that can only be countered by rare abilities and those that can control soul power."

"In total, a Nephilim is a being that has no real weak points, other than the copy inside of them that tries its best to take over their body in the early stage," Aethion said before shaking his head.

"I don't know if there is a race considered the best."

"I know, there are two, the Starborn, and the Voidborn races." Jared suddenly said from the side with a calm expression.

"Starborn, Voidborn, what are those, I've never heard of them," Aethion said from the side as Reign also stopped, eager to hear about them.

"It is natural that you haven't heard about them, they are very rare in the universe, till now, there have been slightly over 30,000 Starborn that have been seen in the universe over the course of many eons, and about 10,000 Voidborn."

"To put it in perspective, Nephilims are considered to be very rare as well, but over the course of history, there have been over 350 000 Nephilims that have been seen and identified, there were probably even more, they just died young."

"Starborn are a race born from the stars, they incubate inside a star, and at the very moment of birth, they are Saints."

"That only lasts for several days as a Starborn enters its juvenile period very quickly, at the shortest, in 2 days, but never more than 5 days, and at that point, it is as powerful as a Low God."

"That is not to say its power is equal to a Low God, because it isn't, it's actually superior as a juvenile Starborn can explode with the power of a supernova, and upon death, it will explode, causing the power inside of him to release a powerful supernova that will kill anything around it, if one isn't at the very least a High God that possess powerful artifacts and items, they will perish if they're not about 50 light years away from it."

"A Starborn will become more powerful as it ages, and when it reaches maturity, it is considered to be as powerful as a Peak God at the very least, some reaching the power of an Ancient God, only then will a Starborn need to train and start learning in order to become more powerful."

"The Starborn uses the power of the stars to fight, and the more powerful they are, the larger and more powerful the 'star' inside of them. They are usually very friendly though and rarely get in fights."

Hiss!

Reign took a sharp breath, as did Aethion.

A race that is as powerful as a Saint at birth, and in only a couple of days, they are equal to a Low God, and they don't need to do a thing and simply grow older to become even more powerful was a terrifying concept.

"And … the other one, the one that's even rarer?" Aethion asked Jared who nodded his head.

"A Voidborn is a being born from the void itself, usually at the border of the universe. Compared to the Starborn, who are at birth a manifestation of a star and shine brightly, illuminating an entire star system by themselves, a Voidborn is a being that has no shape when it is born, it is the void itself, shapeless and formless."

"Like the Starborn, it will quickly enter its juvenile period and then learn how to transform its body into a human-like shape. At birth, the Voidborn are already as powerful as a Low-God, and their power is the void itself."

"When using their power, a void appears around the Voidborn, and nothing can exist in it, no elements, nor powers, not even life or souls will be able to enter its domain, all will simply cease to exist and be wiped away."

"When a Voidborn reaches maturity, they are at the weakest an Ancient God, and at the strongest a Supreme." 

"Upon death, a region that is as large as a star system will become a silent zone, one where no powers can function, where one cannot stay for long if they are not powerful enough, otherwise they will cease to exist."

Reign and Aethion blinked several times in quick succession, already feeling a bit numb at what they just learned. 

"I see, I think I'm going to try to forget all of that and focus on what's ahead of me."

'I'm barely able to fight several Tier V monsters at once, and there are bastards who are as powerful as gods right after birth, damn man.' Reign thought with a sigh as he continued walking to the stronghold which was half in ruins.

Reign entered the stronghold and met with Basred and the others who were clearing out the rest of the demons. With so many Tier V beings amongst them, it was incredibly easy for them to win against a bunch of Tier IV demons, even if the demons were boosted by the stronghold's arrays.

The guardians were able to easily damage their souls, and Liara could do the same with the help of the artifact. Upon the death of the demons, she would use the artifact's power to take their souls and store them inside so that later on, she could use them to create other beings that would help in their fight against the demons.

Reign nodded his head upon entering and helped them out before they made their way down to where the core was located.

And just like that, 2 more days passed.

A brilliant light suddenly covered 9 regions that Reign and the others had managed to take over. The cores of the regions shook as they started changing. They turned white and instead of being there to siphon power from the world, they were now mediums that the world was using to create the walls that defended the regions from the attacks of the demons.
