Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

BUZZZZZZZZZ!

Another buzzing sound pierced the air, soon followed by the ominous explosion of another helicopter. Its destruction showing the vast gap between modern weaponry and a demon with Reign's power level.

Reign's attacks came with staggering speed, leaving the helicopters no chance to evade.

With each reload, his efficiency surpassed even that of an actual Rail Gun, incorporating the latest in technology.

The remaining helicopters scrambled to gain altitude and create distance, but it was futile.

No ordinary missile or cannon could come close to matching the speed of rail gun.

Additionally, Reign's ability to calculate and predict a helicopter's position elevated the threat level of his long-distance attack even further.

It was the kind of skill that turns the tide of battles and leaves enemies trembling in their boots.

With all the helicopters taken down, Reign swiftly redirected his focus to targeting the remaining army on the ground.

In front of his Death Rail Gun, no one was safe. Reign's precision targeted the tanks first, their cumbersome frames making them a good target.

BUZZZZZZZZZ!

He unleashed rounds that tore through metal and machinery, rendering the tanks into twisted wreckage.

The projectiles pierced through the armor as if it were made of paper, destroying the bodies of the people inside who were operating them.

The other tanks retaliated by firing at Reign, but he quickly moved from one position to another, dodging their attacks with ease.

Before they could adjust their aim, Reign resumed his attacks, his deadly accuracy destroying tanks in an instant .

The Death Rail Gun was highly efficient, its devastating power unmatched. However, Reign soon felt the strain of expending too much energy with each bullet.

Sensing his draining energy, he made the decision to dispatch the few remaining soldiers using his bare hands.

After a couple of minutes filled with cries, pleas, and curses, the whole area fell silent.

Only the corpses of the fallen and the wreckage of machinery and equipment remained as somber reminders of the chaos that had unfolded.

Reign stood on top a pile of corpses, gazing on the surrounding death as his Puppet diligently segregated the fallen, separating ordinary humans and hunters.

He was only using the five puppets, each resembling typical skeletons with bare bones and devoid of clothing.

The distinguishing feature was the dark red aura enveloping their bodies, swirling like smoke from within, marking them with an eerie presence.

As for Arc?

He dispatched his him to undertake the cleanup task, as some cowardly hunters had dared to flee in his presence.

Reign knew that it would be foolish not to eliminate every hunter, as some of them might possess unexpected benefits.

In the distance

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

The sound of swords clashing echoed as Rudy, Cynthia, Bernard, and the other surviving hunters fought to hold their ground against Arc.

"Damn it, why are there two demons!" Rudy gritted his teeth in frustration.

Despite their coordinated efforts, they found themselves being pushed back by Arc, showcasing the demon's formidable power.

They speculated that Arc might be nearing the level of a Peak High Demon.

They acknowledged that their mental state wasn't at its peak, making the battle against Arc even more challenging than it would have been in the past.

"You two escaped , we will hold him down!" Bernard's voice thundered with determination, fueled by his concern for Cynthia.

"Don't be stupid, we can beat this thing," Rudy countered, his voice filled with defiance.

"What are you talking about! You will be a father, stop being stupid and just run!" Bernard's frustration boiled over, his voice sharp with urgency and concern.

Rudy's innate kindness, though admirable, was misplaced in this dire situation.

For Cynthia's sake, he needed to prioritize his own survival and be selfish.

"I'm stronger than you, you take Cynthia away," Rudy replied firmly as he gripped his sword and swung it again to aid the other hunters.

He knew that without him, their chances of survival against the demon would be much lower, leading to one sided massacre .

Bernard felt conflicted after hearing this, a mix of emotions swirling within him.

While he knew it was wrong to wish for his friend's death, a part of him couldn't help but feel that this was his chance.

"Alright," Bernard nodded .

"Thank you, I know I can count on you," Rudy replied with a warm smile, before his gaze turned to Cynthia, who was currently resting.

**

"Go with Bernard first, I will follow you once I'm done," Rudy shouted.

"No, we won't leave you," Cynthia protested.

"Don't worry about me, I have a secret skill but I can't use it if there are so many people. Just trust me" Rudy declared.

"But..." she wanted to speak more, but Bernard interrupted her, swiftly grabbing her and urging her to move.

"Let go of me! Let go of me!" she struggled, her hear aching knowing that Rudy was planning to sacrifice himself to buy time.

Bernard, left with no choice, reluctantly delivered a blow to her neck, causing her to lost consciousness .

"Thank you," Rudy said softly as he watched Bernard scoop Cynthia into a princess carry and sprint away with all his might.

In his mind, Bernard was a good friend, caring and kind towards him and Cynthia.

With Bernard by her side, he could find relief in the knowledge that his friend would do everything in his power to save her.

CLANG

CLANG

CLANG

More clashes echoed as Rudy and the others exerted themselves to stall for time.

He fought smartly, instructing everyone to refrain from engaging in direct combat and instead focus on stalling tactics using group coordination, which proved effective.

After a while, they noticed that the others were beginning to gasp for breath, still feeling the fatigued from their escape from Reign.

With limited spare energy to begin with, their stamina was quickly getting exhausted .

Rudy saw this and knew that it was time to resort to their last option.

"Let's die together, you bastard," Rudy declared, channeling all his remaining vitality into one final, desperate attack.

It was the skill that hunters reserved for moments when they knew there was no chance of survival.

Seeing Rudy's resolve, the other hunters followed suit without hesitation.

"We are not holding back anymore!" Rudy roared, his voice echoing with determination.

Together with his comrades, they unleashed their most powerful attacks, pouring every ounce of their strength into one big attack.

Arc's eyes gleamed with a red arch of electricity, as if something had triggered it.

With a wide motion, he raised his sword, and an arc of red lightning converged on its tip.

The power was so intense that the mere magnetic pull from the electricity caused everyone's swords to vibrate.

Seeing this, Rudy's stomach churned with fear.

He recognized this technique—it was something Jayden had shown him when they first met.

They were holding back?

or

Was it the other way around?

SLASH!

When Arc's sword pierced the ground, a brilliant crimson surge of electricity exploded from within it, radiating outward in a perfect circle.

The red lightning energy crackled fiercely, enveloping everything within a five-meter radius, leaving no escape from its electrifying grip.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The hunters screamed in agony as the electricity ravaged their bodies from within, leaving them writhing in pain.
