Chapter 344: Above Demon Lord Part 3
"ARGGGGG!" Red's furious roar echoed, causing the walls of Reign's domain to crack and shake.
Bright flashes of red light illuminated the cracks, which grew wider with each passing moment.
"Not good," Reign thought, recognizing the danger. He quickly channeled more energy into his Domain, reinforcing it to withstand the growing pressure.
He knew he had to be more careful, especially now that the meta-human had reached another level of power.
Red's body glowed a deeper crimson color than before, and his aura, once semi-transparent, had become much more intense.
The increase in power boosted his confidence. He clenched and relaxed his fists, confident that his next punch would finally connect with his opponent.
A smile spread across his lips as he declared, "That's right. This is my true power. As long as we keep fighting, I'll outpower you in the end."
"Outpower me?" Reign asked with a mocking smile.
"Your so-called power up only forced me to increase from 30% to 40%. Are you sure it's smart to brag?"
Red's face twisted with frustration,
"You think you can just brush me off?" he roared. His aura glowed brightly.
"I'm done playing games. You'll see just how much stronger I am now!"
He clenched his hands together, and his aura began to concentrate between his palms. A spinning ball of crimson energy formed, its power so intense that it caused cracks to appear in the space around it.
Reign stared at the swirling energy, recognizing the danger. 'I'd be instantly killed if I get hit by that,'
However, he couldn't afford to show any sign of weakness, not when he was so close to defeating the meta-human and claiming all the vitality.
"That's impressive, concentrating your aura in one place. It must have taken all your braincells to come up with that idea," Reign said with sarcasm.
He let the meta-human charge up, not out of carelessness, but because he had a new plan.
The situation was becoming more dangerous. It was time to end the fight before things got even more out of control.
"I can do that too," Reign declared. He mirrored the motion, gathering dark red energy in his palm.
But unlike his opponent, he only held it for a couple of seconds before clapping his hands together, making the energy burst out. It was just for show.
"ARISE!" he commanded, summoning his minions.
They erupted from the ground and quickly went to attack mode.
The sudden appearance of this new power left the meta-human confused, and stunned.
Each of the summons charged forward, unleashing a mix of elemental attacks to distract Red.
While the summons weren't strong enough to cause real harm, they were enough to disrupt Red's concentration.
The constant need to dodge, combined with the chaos of the fight, forced him to lose focus, causing the spinning ball of energy to collapse.
"I'm not finished yet!" Reign added, materializing another weapon.
He summoned a cluster of javelins and even created a fourth arm to launch them while he continued bombarding Red with his rail guns.
'You might be stronger than me, but I've got more tricks,' Reign thought with a cruel smile.
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
Explosions after explosion echoed, as the meta-human was put into a corner, he was now more helpless than before .
He managed to destroy the five summons, realizing they weren't very strong. However, they just kept coming back.
The meta-human moved with amazing speed, attacking with enough force to kill a Demon Lord with one punch. But since he had to use only close-range attacks, he couldn't hit Reign, who could keep up with his speed.
Reign's smirk grew as he watched his opponent's frustration.
"Not so invincible now, are you?" he taunted.
With a flick of his wrist, Reign sent out a surge of negative energy.
Startled and cautious, Red backed away, fearing it was another trick.
The more Red tried to push through, the more Reign's different skills exhausted him down mentally.
His once unshakable confidence started to fade. He was no longer the unstoppable force he had been at the beginning
Reign noticed Red's growing desperation and used it to his advantage. He kept firing until he had created enough distance.
'Time to end this,'
With a decisive move, he merged his four rail guns together and then summoned a powerful burst of energy from his domain, focusing it into the combined weapon.
CRACK ! CRACK ! CRACK!
The clouds above roared, and the whole domain shook from the intense pressure. He was using all his energy, getting ready to finish the fight once and for all.
'This is my strongest attack ' he thought as he felt the lightning rain down. The lightning was so powerful that it covered his whole body.
Inside, Reign struggled with his weapon, which was threatening to break from the force. He didn't stop, though; instead, he made the weapon smaller to intensify the pressure.
For a moment, a blinding light filled the area, making everything go white. It was as if time itself slowed down.
Red, caught in the middle of the blinding attack, felt disoriented. His senses disappeared—he couldn't see or smell.
All he could hear was a nonstop, high-pitched beeping that pierced his ears and hurt his eardrums.
As the blinding light faded, Red's vision slowly returned.
The deafening beeping sound faded, replaced by a strange silence.
He looked around, confused, and saw that the once dangerous domain was gone.
Reign, now flying in the sky, looked down with a confident smirk.
"What happened? Did he do something?" Red asked, still puzzled. After a few moments, his mind caught up with his senses.
He touched his chest and felt a gaping hole where his heart should be.
The realization hit him hard: Reign's final attack had left a massive wound that he hadn't even noticed until now.
"BUAHHHH" He vomited blood, as death energy started sapping through out his body .
"I—Impossible," Red said reluctantly.
He looked around, and when he turned back, he saw a huge crater on the ground behind him. It was as if a giant laser had obliterated everything in its path.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a bitter sense of disbelief.
How could he win against such a powerful figure? All this time, he was being played by his opponent.
Meanwhile, Reign was surprised that Red could still move after that attack.
'I can't believe he's still alive after taking the full force of my ultimate move,' Reign muttered to himself.
He had poured majority of all his energy and element into that strike. It was something he could only do once.
Red chuckled softly, his voice carrying a hint of resignation. "Tell me, did I ever have a chance to win?" he asked, seeking the truth.
Reign paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smirk. "Not really. You're so weak it's pathetic," he admitted coldly.
"I see," Red said, a faint smile in his eyes.
'Mother, forgive me. He's just too strong,' he uttered before closing his eyes.
His body began to plummet from the sky like a fallen hero who had given everything to save the world, tears streaming down his face as he fell.
