Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Chapter 49: Frustration and Humiliation

'Please don't believe her,' Reign mumbled to himself.

As long as he didn't die, he was sure to become strong enough to take over this world, thanks to his system. The last thing he needed right now was a premature death.

"Is that true ?" Alexander's tone turned cold, and Reign could tell that his question was directly targeted at him.

'Why are you looking at me? Shouldn't you look at George first? Appearance-wise, he should be your first guess, and not me, who looks like a Halloween costume,' Reign cursed, frustrated by Alexander's acute intuition.

'Don't be angry, I just need to deny it ,' he thought to himself, and took deep paused to deny everything.

He would even offer Anna on a silver platter if necessary.

"N—"

"You don't have the right to question, My Reign. I'll kill you!" Anna cut him off short and dashed forward, determined to take on Alexander head-on.

She wanted to show Reign that she would rather die than be with another man. She did not even bother to listen to Alexander's origin; for her, none of it was important.

Her love for Reign had empowered her to face her fears. Despite sensing Alexander's overwhelming power and feeling every instinct urging her to flee, Anna found courage in Reign's presence. She was determined to protect him at all costs.

Alexander could be the god of this world for all she cared, and she wouldn't give a damn.

Reign, on the other hand, felt really annoyed right now.

'Why are you acting like we're a couple that shared decades of memories or something? If you want to die, then please don't drag me along with you. We've only known each other for a couple of days,' he grumbled.

'Forget it, I'll just find a way to escape. Maybe she has some sort of trump card,' he thought to himself.

She was a smart girl, so she wouldn't just rush in there without a plan.

As Anna closed in on Alexander, crimson blood orbs erupted from her back, hurtling towards him with astonishing speed.

Each projectile sliced through the air with a piercing whir, showing just how deadly each of them was.

Even Reign couldn't help but feel the intensity of these blood bullets, admitting they could easily riddle his body with holes despite his upgrades.

It was evident that Anna was going all out.

"This thing can't hurt me," Alexander smiled confidently. With a wave of his hand, the blood bullets collided with an invisible barrier, dissipating harmlessly upon impact.

When Anna witnessed this, she intensified her attack, creating more blood orbs and bombarding the invisible barrier relentlessly.

However, Alexander remained unfazed, not even flinching.

The two girls accompanying him were even giggling at the spectacle.

Anna, whom Reign once considered irritatingly strong, now appeared weak in the presence of her opponent's overwhelming power.

It wasn't that she was weak; rather, her enemy simply operated on an entirely different level.

"You're powerful for your age, but this is your limit. After all, you are only at the beginner stage of being a High Level Demon," Alexander explained calmly.

"And your battle IQ is commendable, but as I said, the gap in power is too big," he added, his tone instructional as he continued to critique her attacks, creating an atmosphere akin to a teacher guiding a student.

But Anna did not listen and decided to change her attack pattern.

This time, she combined blood tendrils with blood bullets, hoping to increase their effectiveness.

The blood tendrils emerged from the ground, launching their assault on Alexander from all directions.

But just like before, their attacks were stopped before reaching him.

She persisted, continuously refining her attacks, brainstorming ways to overcome her opponent.

However, she also sensed that she was approaching her limit. It was her sheer willpower that fueled her stubbornness.

"What a foolish girl, thinking she can defeat Lord Alexander with such pathetic attempts," remarked the girl with long braided hair, her tone dripping with mockery.

"Even if you had attacked with all of your power, it wouldn't have made a dent in his barrier." She added.

The other girl with a short white hair chimed in, continuing to mock Anna.

"To think that she's the granddaughter of the Blood King. Maybe her human blood made her weaker. What a letdown"

Their voices dripped with disdain as they belittled Anna's efforts.

However, their words didn't even bother Anna at all. Instead, it was someone else who felt irritated.

'What's with the insults? Just because she's the relative of someone powerful?' Reign couldn't help but feel frustrated by their words. He was annoyed because he had experienced similar treatment due to his father.

Just now, he felt an urge to use his Claw Barrage on them.

'No, don't do anything stupid,' he scolded himself, surprised that he would feel angry for Anna.

'I should run away and forget about her,' he thought to himself, noticing that Alexander was occupied with Anna.

As for George, for some reason, he had stopped moving since the red sky appeared.

"Oh, planning to make a run for it?"

Reign's heart skipped a beat as he heard the chilling voice behind him.

Slowly, he turned to find the girl with the long white hair staring at him with disdain, as though he were nothing more than trash.

Caught off guard, Reign swallowed hard, trying to maintain his composure despite the creeping sense of unease spreading through him.

"What if I am?" he replied, his voice wavering slightly.

The girl's lips curled into a contemptuous smirk.

"So you're just a coward, huh? As expected of someone with a trash bloodline," she taunted, taking a step closer.

"I'm pretty impressed that you can actually talk with that little brain of yours," she added.

'Bitch, what trash bloodline? Don't you know that I'm just getting started? Wait until I evolve more, and I'll rip that tongue of yours!' Reign grumbled inwardly, restraining himself from vocalizing his anger.

He had no plot armor whatsoever, so he couldn't just spout nonsense, knowing he had no way to win.

Being called a coward was not enough to make him do something stupid.

He might lose the battle tonight, but he would win the war in the future.

"I'm just a lowly demon, please just take her away. I don't want any trouble," he prostrated himself, knowing full well that pride would not be able to save him.

Reign's unexpected action caused Anna to stop her attack, not out of disappointment in him, but rather due to the pain in her heart at witnessing her beloved forced to kneel in such a manner.

Guilty emotions flooded her as she realized her own weakness in failing to protect him.

"My god, I've seen a lot of demons with trash bloodlines, but at least they have some guts! You don't just have a trash bloodline, you also have a trash personality," the long haired girl started to giggle more, feeling amused by what she was seeing .

Reign gritted his teeth in frustration, but he kept his head down to not show his angry face.

'This humiliation, I'll remember this…,' he vowed silently, making sure to remember the faces of the people who made him suffer today.
