Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Veins bulged under his black skin, his muscles rippling with the raw power coursing through his body.

Reign observed him with a smirk, finding amusement in his statements .

"World future, huh?" he mocked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You humans and your delusions Always thinking you are the center of everything. Always thinking you matter."

"Did it not occur to you that maybe the world is trying its best to squash you all like insects because, unlike what you want to believe, you\'re the tumor in this world? Not the demons, or the corrupteds," he added.

"So you\'re one of those people who like to preach before a fight ?" Jarren sneered in contempt.

"Shit," Reign click his tongue , shaking his head.

He realized he\'d gotten too caught up in his own power over the hunter and started talking nonsense.

\'This must be why those angels were so talkative,\' he thought, making a mental note to be more mindful of his words.

Refocusing, he locked eyes with the hunter. "Enough talk. Let\'s settle this,"

He raised his Skull Grinder, ready to start the fight.

But this time, the hunter was ready to fight until the very end, his resolve unshaken despite the daunting sight of Reign.

The demon standing before him was the epitome of terror, compared to any demon lord he had encountered.

While others may have appeared more human-like, Reign\'s skeletal form, coupled with his ominous aura and wings that sparks lightning instilled fear in all who saw him.

Without flesh to display emotion, he remained an enigmatic and terrifying figure.

But Jarren was already dying anyway, so such concerns was no longer important. All that mattered to him now was to unleash his anger on Reign and beat him to a pulp.

"Titan Ape Breathing Technique… Rampage !"

With a roar of defiance, he took a single step forward, the force of his foot crushing the ground beneath him.

Like a bullet train, that one step was enough to bridge the gap between them, closing the distance with astonishing speed.

Reign couldn\'t help but feel amazed as he watched the hunter close the gap so quickly.

At first, he was impressed by how fast he moved for a human.

But then, he remembered the special rune Jarren used to achieved "Overload"

After thinking about it, he didn\'t think his speed was all that impressive. He figured that if this was the best he could do, he should be the weakest of the four.

However, for Jarren, seeing that his enemy didn\'t move at all gave him a false assumption that he was too fast for the demon to react.

This fueled his confidence even more.

Taking advantage of the moment, he increased the strength of his grip, his sword aimed at the head.

But suddenly, Reign shifted his hand holding the skull grinder and met Jarren\'s attack head-on.

BOOOOOOM!

Despite the force behind katana strike, Reign held his own with ease, he did not even flinch as he absorbed the impact.

However, the ground beneath him collapsed under the strain of their clash, sending Reign hurtling downwards into the underground sewer system below.

"Fuck, remind me to never say \'shit\' again," Reign sighed, feeling that his word before had turned into some kind of foreshadowing. Not the good kind.

He managed to adjust quickly, flapping his wings just in time to prevent himself from plunging into the dirty, polluted water below , turning him to be the first demon lord to ever bath in shit.

SWOOOOSH!

He soared upwards, emerging from the depths of ground that just caved in.

Meanwhile, Jarren, still mid-air after being sent flying by Reign\'s attack, used the side of the building to stand up, his eyes fixed on the hole as he prepared for their next clash.

Reign shot forward without wasting any time, swinging his skull grinder.

However, this time he didn\'t use his full force.

Instead, he held back, wanting to play with Jarren more as payback for almost making a fool out of him earlier.

BOOOOOOOM!

Another clash echoed, the force of the impact sending Jarren hurtling backwards. He crashed through walls upon impact, the structures unable to withstand the force of his momentum.

One building after another crumbled as he got thrown away, the sound of destruction reverberating through the air, until finally, he came to a stop amidst the wreckage.

"BUAAHHHH!" Jarren vomited blood, the impact having inflicted several broken bones on him.

Luckily, the power of his rune accelerated his healing process, enabling him to quickly regain his mobility.

Unlike the other runes, his might have been weaker in terms of attack power, but it excelled in physical enhancement.

Even in his overloaded form, he could fight without experiencing too much backlash right off the bat thanks to his enhance physical attribute.

"You\'re persistent, I\'ll give you that," Reign said, a note of respect in his voice after seeing that Jarren was still standing. "But it won\'t save you

He lashed out with his Skull Grinder again, the blade moving with lightning speed. Jaren barely managed to block the attack, the force of the blow nearly knocking him off his feet.

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

Reign pressed the attack, his strikes coming faster and faster. Jaren fought back with everything he had, but he was no match for the demon lord\'s superior strength and skill.

The clash between them intensified, each exchange of slashes reverberating through the air and causing the ground to tremble beneath their feet.

As the intensity of the fight reached its peak, blood erupted from Jarren\'s veins and eyes, painting a bad future for him.

The effects of the rune overload finally caught, his body struggling to contain the immense strain it was under.

"ARRRRGH!" Jarren screamed in anger as he gathered all his remaining strength for one last strike.

But this time, Reign didn\'t attempt to parry the attack.

Instead, he leaped into the air, raising his skull grinder high above his head before bringing it down with tremendous force.

As Jarren met the blow with his katana in a desperate attempt to block, he felt as though an entire mountain was crashing down upon him.

The sheer weight of Reign\'s strike sent shockwaves rippling through his body, causing the ground beneath his feet to collapse.

With a deafening crash, Jarren tumbled downwards, hurtling towards the very same sewer system that Reign had narrowly avoided moments ago.

"Too bad for you, I\'m a very vengeful person," Reign chuckled sadistically as he watched the poor hunter drown in literal shit. A fitting end for someone who was dumb enough and dared to challenge him.

Using his undead eye, he confirmed that the hunter had died already.

He landed on the ground and looked over the gaping hole,

"Arc," he summoned.

"Get that filthy body and find some water to clean it off," he commanded .

There were certain things even he preferred to avoid if given the choice.
