The three-headed dog, enraged by the gaping hole in its chest that refused to heal, lunged towards Reign. Each head roared furiously, their combined voices creating a deafening sound that shook the ground.
'Why didn't it work?' he pondered, watching the giant three-headed dog got closer .
He had expected the creature to collapse right away. But, it remained furious and powerful as ever, except for the wound.
Quickly assessing the situation, he reasoned,' So, even True Death can't fully stop it.'
'It must be composed of different organisms,' he concluded.
True Death had worked, killing the organism struck directly. But, the creature managed to evade instant death. This was due to its nature, which was composed of parts rather than a single entity.
The three-headed dog finally reached him. Its eyes burned with rage. It lunged forward, swinging its right claw.
He saw the attack coming, but it moved too slowly, that he decided to dodge at the very last mont.
Reign shifted sideways, eyes fixed intently on the creature's movent.
He noticed the energy from the chest wound. It was slowly corrupting the creature from within. Dark-red veins spread, causing flesh and bone to decay.
'Interesting' he muttered. 'My skill is killing it, but not quickly enough.'
The dog charged again, its movents slower and more labored this ti.
Recognizing the opportunity, Reign flew to the left, avoiding a swipe of its massive claws, then backward to evade its snapping jaws.
Seeing its slow decline, he flew higher, waiting for its inevitable death.
The creature, enraged and desperate, leaped high into the air but couldn't reach him.
He hovered just out of reach, observing its futile attempts with a calm, curious gaze.
"RAAWWWWR!" The three heads roared in unison, opening their maws and spewing dark flas into the air.
The attack, however, was much weaker than before. Reign endured the damage and basked in the residual heat, feeling almost as if he were in a sauna.
This was the unfair advantage of being a demon lord with balanced stats.
So demons might excel in e attack power but lack defensive capabilities, while others could have the opposite.
But, due to the system, Reign's basic attributes were evenly distributed across the board.
He could stay in this place and let it attack him, and the poor creature wouldn't even be able to break through his defensed.
'This thing's attack power is only at the Peak Upper Demon Level in terms of damage,' he pondered.
'It has a wide range, but the damage itself isn't that threatening. To be honest, the fla from the hunter with the Fire Drake Breathing technique during Rune Overload Mode was hotter.'
While he contemplated leisurely about this, the raging inferno in the air stopped.
As it subsided, the creature roared in frustration after seeing that Reign had sustained no damage.
Though his external bones had been churned, his already blackened appearance masked any visible signs.
"You should really just accept your death," Reign murmured, eyes fixed on the flailing creature below.
It was showing signs of dying.
Death energy continued to corrupt its inside, spreading from the chest wound. Its movents grew erratic, its roars shifting to pained growls, the red glow in its eyes dimming with each passing mont.
Maintaining altitude, he watched patiently. Engaging it directly seed unnecessary; there was no need to rush. The death energy was effective, though slower than he hoped.
Finally, the three-headed dog collapsed, twitching as death energy took its toll. It let out a final, agonized roar before falling silent and slowly descending to the ground. Its massive body caused the ground to tremble upon impact.
BURST!
Reign wasted no ti. Hundreds of tendrils shot from his body, piercing the giant corpse as he absorbed it.
The beast shrank rapidly, but Reign did not gain any experience points. This outco had been expected.
"I knew this wouldn't be enough," he muttered 'The stronger I get, the harder it is to level up.'
'It's okay. I learned a lot from this battle,' he nodded in satisfaction.
Though he didn't level up, the battle had not been in vain. Dark Dust Points would still offset his negative.
Reflecting on the intense battle, he pondered how to better use "True Death" in the future.
"True Death worked against regeneration," Reign thought. "But its limits are clear with creatures composed of many entities."
Reviewing the fight ntally, he noted True Death's impacts and shortcomings. This analysis would refine his tactics in the future.
Ideas raced as he considered enhancing True Death's effectiveness. Combining it with other skills or techniques might yield better results.
Experinting would unlock its full potential. But, that was a concern for the future. For now, he was curious to see what had happened to the other cities.
"Ti to move on,"
