Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Chapter 110: Faster

The two hunters stood in shock as they watched Reign's incredible display of flexibility.

Demons, like him that does not look human, were known for their brute strength and primal fighting instincts, often resorting to aggressive attacks even with their intelligence.

However, Reign's dodges resembled the fluid grace of a master acrobat, defying their expectations.

"Stay focused, this demon is more troublesome than we thought," one of the hunters barked out.

He adjusted his stance, then without hesitation, took a bold step forward, dashing toward Reign with his sword poised for a piercing strike.

"Serpent Breathing Technique... Swallowed Point!" he roared, his sword slicing through the air with a newfound fluidity, its trajectory becoming increasingly elusive and difficult to anticipate.

One of the hunters use his footwork technique, but Reign's unblinking eyes rendered the tactic ineffective against him.

Despite this setback, the hunter remained agile and quick, zigzagging to maintain control of his speed and prepare for a follow-up attack, in case his teammate need one.

When the first hunter reached Reign, he tried to dodge the attack again , but he realized that the sword seemed to be moving in a way it shouldn't, almost bending in the air. This was no ordinary attack.

This Hunter was way more powerful than the last.

As Reign used his claw to block the sword, he saw that he successfully block it, but he still felt the impact of multiple strikes hitting his body.

He realized he had underestimated these hunters.

While they might not possess overwhelming physical strength, their mastery of technique compensated for it.

But they were not the only one who could use technique, when Reign adapt to the speed of the sword, the hunter suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Stream Guide!," he exclaimed in shock as he realized the demon in front of him was using a Hunter Technique of such advanced caliber.

The surprise distraction caused the hunter to falter, leaving an opening for Reign's claw to find its mark on his chest.

"Shit," the hunter cursed under his breath. He knew he could still survive if he backed away, but before he could retreat, bone shrapnels exploded inside him, taking out his life in an instant.

The other hunter waiting on the sidelines clicked his tongue in annoyance.

He had hesitated to join the fray, knowing his teammate had the upper hand.

However, he hadn't anticipated the demon reversing the momentum with just one attack.

"Hawk Breathing Technique, Wind Slicer!" he exclaimed, inhaling deeply and unleashing his attack to clear the smoke surrounding him. With the distance still between them, he transitioned into attack mode.

A Wind Blade, powerful enough to slice through a car, cleaved through the air, hurtling directly towards Reign. Its force was so strong that it left a deep gouge in the ground along its path.

However—

Reign just dodge it by turning sideways, and he run towards the source .

Seeing the impending danger, the hunter continued to unleash Wind Slicer attacks while retreating to maintain distance.

He knew that he was inferior in close combat compared to his teammate who had just died, so keeping a safe distance was paramount for his survival.

"You think you can run away from me?" Reign sneered in contempt as dashed forward, doubling his speed without breaking a sweat.

The hunter instinctively swung his sword out of surprised , but when Reign's claw met it, the force of the impact pushed him back five steps.

Without hesitation, Reign unleashed a relentless onslaught of attacks, ultimately overwhelming the hunter and cutting him down to the ground.

"Is it just me? Or am I too high level in this place?" Reign chuckled to himself, feeling satisfied with his performance .

He couldn't help but draw a parallel to a level 50 character dominating a level 10 area in an MMO—a favorite act among gamers.

But, despite the stigma, he couldn't deny the thrill of asserting his dominance over weaker opponents.

'Another visitors ?'

He refrained from immediately absorbing the corpses of the three dead hunters as he sensed the appearance of another team.

There was no time for indulgence; instead, he focused on the newcomers.

What caught his attention was the confidence radiating from them, indicating that this next team was stronger than the last, unfazed even after witnessing Reign power.

"You're pretty confident coming here, aren't you? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you three like this guys?" Reign chuckled sadistically, attempting to taunt them.

He was curious to know the source of their confidence.

One of the hunters, a man in his thirties with a short stubble but no mustache, refused to be provoked. Instead, he drew his sword, and the two hunters behind him followed suit.

His name was Jayden, the team leader of this group, and he was considered a genius by many.

In terms of ability alone, he was many times stronger than the hunters that Reign had killed.

But his confidence did not stem solely from his ability; it also derived from his origin.

Unlike most of the hunters here, who were born and trained in Tier 4 cities, Jayden hailed from a Tier 2 city.

He had been assigned to this area due to personal reasons, setting him apart from the normal hunters.

This meant his breathing techniques were more advanced than those of others.

Though he was still not an official double-digit , he surpassed the typical three-digit hunters in strength by miles.

In fact, the only reason he hadn't been able to break into the top 100 spot was because all those individuals were monstrous in their own right.

There was even a rumor circulating that the current top 100 right now comprised the strongest batch in history.

"What are you doing in Summit City? You're breaking the treaty between humans and the demons," Jayden asked, his tone devoid of any hint of fear.

"Treaty? I don't know about that stuff," Reign shook his head, the creepy grin on his face intensifying.

"I see, so you're just a rogue demon. This will be easier. At least now I know that no one would come looking for me if I killed you," Jayden replied calmly, his tone unwavering despite the gravity of the situation.

He dropped to one knee and gripped the handle of his sword, ready in a drawing position.

The air around him started to move as if they were being charge by some kind of kinetic energy , and every-time he breath out the air seems to be electrified.

"Thunderbird Breathing Technique, Thunder Step!" Jayden uttered .

In an instant, his body blurred, accompanied by a loud cracking sound trailing behind his movements.

Even Reign was taken aback by the sudden surge of speed.

"Mantis Eyes!" He activated his skill, pushing his reaction time to its limit.

With no time to waste, he raised his bony arms to block the incoming attack in front of him

BOOOOOOOM!

He felt his bones trembling as he was sent hurtling through the air.

The force of Jayden's attack was further amplified by the momentum generated from Thunder Step, leaving Reign struggling to maintain his balance.

'This guy is no joke ,' Reign thought to himself as he regained his footing.

It was a good thing that he had incorporated Stream Guide before he was hit, allowing him to minimize the damage.

This was also the reason why he appeared to have been sent flying through the air.
