Chapter 493 The Powerful Tier III Demons

"Ugh!" Reign grunted in pain as he slammed against a pillar before widening his eyes and jumping off of it.

The demon didn't stop his attack, as soon as his hammer hit the ground, he had already jumped to Reign and slammed his shield against the pillar, obliterating it and causing numerous pieces to explode around them.

Reign slid against the ground before activating his mark and boosts. He was now wearing a slim armor that was created by some sort of alloy. The alloy was very durable, but it was also incredibly light and flexible, allowing Reign to move however he wanted while being well protected.

The black armor was detailed with blue lines that seemingly moved around the armor. Upon activation, the lines shone brightly before disappearing, and lightning appeared around Reign.

The armor was a rank SS armor, and Reign had recently gotten it. He had managed to get it after their last battle against the Tier III monster that they had killed in order to evolve. It turned out that the core of the monster was incredibly well at conducting energy and could be used as the core for an armor set.

The armor he wore now covered his legs, torso, and shoulders, whilst having a cape as well.

Reign was forced to let go of his old armor pieces, but in return, he had gotten an incredibly powerful armor that boosted his lightning even without being activated.

Upon activation, the core that was used to create the armor would give Reign a boost of power, and would also further increase the power of his lightning. Reign had personally been there during the crafting process as the two smiths needed him to imbue the armor with his mana and lightning in order to finish it and make it fit him.

The armor had become bound to Reign and nobody else could wear it, Reign could also use another function of the armor, which would make it disappear and only show a circle on his chest. ( imagine iron man and his nano armor )

Upon activation, the alloy would extend in a moment and cover his body, allowing Reign to always wear it.

Reign and the others of course had gained much more than just 1 suit of armor, almost all of their items were now rank S, and they had some rank SS items as well.

Their power had truly reached a different level compared to before, but fighting against the powerful demons was still a challenge.

Reign moved, and his speed was obviously greater compared to before. The demon was able to follow Reign's movements, but it was still incredibly difficult for him to respond to Reign's attacks.

Each attack came as fast as lightning and the demon had suffered 5 hits in an instant. Still, Reign had a heavy look on his face as his attacks did almost nothing to the demon who was now wearing a new suit of armor.

The armor was much slimmer compared to the previous one and covered his whole body. The cracks the demon previously had released a great amount of mana and it fused with the armor, creating a new, better one.

Even Reign's sharp swords were unable to simply cut through it, and he needed to analyze the enemy more before being able to injure him.

"You can give it a rest, you will never be able to penetrate my defenses, you worm!" The demon roared as he charged at Reign once again, only for Reign to evade his attack before appearing behind him and slashing at him a couple of times.

Reign then quickly jumped back as the demon swung his hammer with a backhand hit, forcing a powerful wind to blow at Reign.

The demon then pulled back the left hand which held his shield before throwing it at Reign. The shield spun strongly and looked like a saw as it passed through the air and went at Reign.

He constricted his eyes as the shield was thrown with great power and arrived almost instantly. Crossing his two swords, Reign attempted to block the attack, sparks started flying around as the saw-like shield collided against his swords. Reign gave it his all, only to be pushed back by the shield for a couple of meters until he hit a wall of a building that was close to collapsing.

The shield slowed down and was about to stop before the demon appeared in front of Reign. He lifted his hands and clutched the hammer with both of them before smashing down at Reign, only to be interrupted by a 5-meter-long arrow that hit his arms and managed to penetrate and almost cut off one of them.

"Don't forget about me, you giant bastard," Beast said as he stared at the demon before taking out another arrow. Suddenly he jumped to the side as the demon had actually torn off his hand that was hanging by the skin and had thrown it full force at Beast.

The hand smashed against the mountain and cracks appeared on it, some pieces fell down and started tumbling down the mountain before reaching the base. The rocks hit the buildings and smashed some of the weaker demons apart.

The base was large, it was as big as 5 football stadiums put together and many demons lived there. Some were Tier I, most were Tier II, but there were also some that were below Tier I. Those demons were put here in the base to do miscellaneous jobs and were unable to withstand the rocks that had fallen down.

Beast quickly used his wind manipulation in order to stay in the air before reaching the mountain again and aiming at the demon that had again been forced to fight against Reign.

With an arm gone, the demon was unable to fight the same way, but he was seemingly unaffected by his wound as it closed almost immediately after he had torn his arm off.

No blood could be seen coming out of the wound and the demon continued fighting with the same ferocity as before.

Beast had put a lot of power in the arrow, and it would usually be enough to heavily injure, if not even kill a low-leveled Tier III monster, but against the demon, it was barely enough to destroy his arm.

Reign, however, had a calm expression on his face.

He glanced at Beast and motioned with his finger that he would be fine and that he should help the others out.

Beast simply nodded at Reign before looking at the others.

Wolf and Laura were locked in battle against the axe-wielding demon. Both he and Wolf had a fire ability and were fighting ferociously. Wolf had a couple of wounds, as did the demon.

If the flames both produced weren't as hot as they were, they would have been covered in blood, but as soon as blood appeared, it would sizzle before dissipating thanks to the high heat.

Laura was both healing Wolf and using her powers to attack the demon. Even though the demon they were fighting against was as powerful as the one that was fighting Reign, they were having an easier time since Laura's skills would do more damage to him, plus, his ability was unable to deal much damage to Wolf who was heavily resistant to fire.

The demon, however, was also resistant to fire, and Wolf's flames were also unable to do a lot to it, that was, however, the case before Wolf used his mark.

The purple flames that Wolf had during the duration of the mark were different. The everlasting flame, even a small tinge of it, was enough to harm the demon who was seemingly enraged by the fact that his demonic flames were losing out against Wolf's.

The giant axe and sword smashed against one another as both the demon and Wolf had bloodthirsty smiles on their faces. Both wanted to rip each other apart.

Tank and Greenie were having some troubles, however.

The whip of the enemy demon was unable to deal heavy damage to them, but they were also unable to come close to the demoness who was whipping away at them.

The shield she held with her left arm was durable and she would use it to block their attacks, while the whip would not only be used to strike them but to also grab them and throw them around.

Greenie had once been grabbed by the whip and the demoness had thrown him against multiple buildings before letting go as Tank attacked and forced her to defend.

Shadow and Blackie were also having issues with the dagger-wielding demon.

None of the three had any injuries as the battle between them would be quickly finished once they got injured.

Shadow was using his darkness powers to the maximum as Blackie had his body covered in black lightning while his fangs and claws were a deep black color as well.

Both could poison their enemy with their dark skills, but so could the demon who was being as cautious as they were.

They seemingly danced around the battlefield, evading attacks and parrying them. None had managed to land a hit so far, but all three were panting heavily as they were slowly getting exhausted.
