BUZZZZZZZZZ!

Another buzzing sound pierced the air, soon followed by the ominous explosion of another helicopter. Its destruction showing the vast gap between modern weaponry and a demon with Reign's power level.

Reign's attacks came with staggering speed, leaving the helicopters no chance to evade.

With each reload, his efficiency surpassed even that of an actual Rail Gun, incorporating the latest in technology.

The remaining helicopters scrambled to gain altitude and create distance, but it was futile.

No ordinary missile or cannon could come close to matching the speed of rail gun.

Additionally, Reign's ability to calculate and predict a helicopter's position elevated the threat level of his long-distance attack even further.

It was the kind of skill that turns the tide of battles and leaves enemies trembling in their boots.

With all the helicopters taken down, Reign swiftly redirected his focus to targeting the remaining army on the ground.

In front of his Death Rail Gun, no one was safe. Reign's precision targeted the tanks first, their cumbersome frames making them a good target.

BUZZZZZZZZZ!

He unleashed rounds that tore through metal and machinery, rendering the tanks into twisted wreckage.

The projectiles pierced through the armor as if it were made of paper, destroying the bodies of the people inside who were operating them.

The other tanks retaliated by firing at Reign, but he quickly moved from one position to another, dodging their attacks with ease.

Before they could adjust their aim, Reign resumed his attacks, his deadly accuracy destroying tanks in an instant .

The Death Rail Gun was highly efficient, its devastating power unmatched. However, Reign soon felt the strain of expending too much energy with each bullet.

Sensing his draining energy, he made the decision to dispatch the few remaining soldiers using his bare hands.

After a couple of minutes filled with cries, pleas, and curses, the whole area fell silent.

Only the corpses of the fallen and the wreckage of machinery and equipment remained as somber reminders of the chaos that had unfolded.

Reign stood on top a pile of corpses, gazing on the surrounding death as his Puppet diligently segregated the fallen, separating ordinary humans and hunters.

He was only using the five puppets, each resembling typical skeletons with bare bones and devoid of clothing.

The distinguishing feature was the dark red aura enveloping their bodies, swirling like smoke from within, marking them with an eerie presence.

As for Arc?

He dispatched his him to undertake the cleanup task, as some cowardly hunters had dared to flee in his presence.

Reign knew that it would be foolish not to eliminate every hunter, as some of them might possess unexpected benefits.

In the distance

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG

More clashes echoed as Rudy and the others exerted themselves to stall for time.

He fought smartly, instructing everyone to refrain from engaging in direct combat and instead focus on stalling tactics using group coordination, which proved effective.

After a while, they noticed that the others were beginning to gasp for breath, still feeling the fatigued from their escape from Reign.

With limited spare energy to begin with, their stamina was quickly getting exhausted .

Rudy saw this and knew that it was time to resort to their last option.

"Let's die together, you bastard," Rudy declared, channeling all his remaining vitality into one final, desperate attack.

It was the skill that hunters reserved for moments when they knew there was no chance of survival.

Seeing Rudy's resolve, the other hunters followed suit without hesitation.

"We are not holding back anymore!" Rudy roared, his voice echoing with determination.

Together with his comrades, they unleashed their most powerful attacks, pouring every ounce of their strength into one big attack.

Arc's eyes gleamed with a red arch of electricity, as if something had triggered it.

With a wide motion, he raised his sword, and an arc of red lightning converged on its tip.

The power was so intense that the mere magnetic pull from the electricity caused everyone's swords to vibrate.

Seeing this, Rudy's stomach churned with fear.

He recognized this technique—it was something Jayden had shown him when they first met.

They were holding back?

or

Was it the other way around?

SLASH!

When Arc's sword pierced the ground, a brilliant crimson surge of electricity exploded from within it, radiating outward in a perfect circle.

The red lightning energy crackled fiercely, enveloping everything within a five-meter radius, leaving no escape from its electrifying grip.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The hunters screamed in agony as the electricity ravaged their bodies from within, leaving them writhing in pain.
