BOOOOM!
The sheer force of the blow caused the ground beneath them to crack and collapse, creating a massive crater in the middle of the forest.
Trees in the distance shuddered violently, and loose rocks tumbled into the gaping hole.
The hunters barely escaped in ti, leaping back just as the earth caved in.
Now, they stood on the opposite end of the crater, trying to comprehend the power they had just witnessed.
On the other side stood Reign, calm and composed, his staff planted firmly in the ground while he balanced effortlessly on top of it, as if the destruction he had caused was nothing more than a small display of his power.
The ssage was clear.
He wasn't soone they could contend with in terms of destructive power.
Hunters might be skilled and powerful in their own right, but their techniques and area-of-effect attacks were nowhere near as overwhelming or wide-ranging
Will tightened his grip on his sword, "He's bomber type," he muttered under his breath, still feeling the vibrations in his bones.
Miyu stared in disbelief.
A bomber type and an illusion type at the sa ti?
This ant there was a good chance they weren't dealing with a demon at all.
Normally, demons were seen as one-dinsional in term of their fighting style.
She glanced at the wreckage before them, her eyes narrowing. "We're not on his level when it cos to raw power," she admitted, her voice low. "But we can still win."
Will Razer nodded, " Let's use our formation , Adrian do it," he commanded.
Adrian, the arrogant hunter from before, raised his katana, gripping it with both hands.
He took a deep breath, ready to execute their formation.
"Water Dragon Breathing Technique... Mist Overflow," he muttered.
HISSSSS!
A cloud of white mist poured from his mouth, swirling in the air before drifting down to the ground.
It spread quickly through the forest, covering the crater, the trees in a thick, layer of fog.
It wasn't an ordinary technique; the dense mist distorted sound and dulled all other senses, turning the area into an eerie, silent world.
In addition, the technique beca even more lethal due to the limit on how high everyone could jump because of the restriction.
The mist thickened as it stayed low, making it harder for anyone to escape its reach.
Except for the Hunters, who had Adrian guiding them.
As they moved through, Will Razer glanced back at the group, keeping his voice low but firm.
"Alright, we're closing in. Rember the plan—Miyu and I go in first, fast and quiet. The rest of you follow and cover the escape routes."
One of the hunters nodded, tightening his grip on his weapon. "Got it. Adrian, you'll signal when we're on him?"
Adrian, running behind them, didn't miss a beat. "Yeah, I'll guide us right to him. Once we're close enough, you'll know. Just stick together and stay sharp."
Miyu on the other hand was quiet, her eyes focused straight ahead.
She knew the risks, but there was no ti for doubts now.
Everyone trusted Adrian's ability to track the enemy, even through the dense fog. They had used this tactic enough to know their roles.
Will glanced sideways at her. "You ready?"
She gave a firm nod. "Always." Stay tuned for updates on empire
" too," Reign's voice bood through the mist, loud and clear, cutting through the fog like a sharp blade.
The hunters froze, montarily stunned.
How had he figured out their location so quickly?
"Not good! Up in the sky!" Adrian's worried voice cut through the confusion,
Before they could react, the faint whistle of arrows sliced through the air. Then it turned into a full-blown assault, as arrows rained ca pouring down, descending on their position like a deadly storm.
"I got this ! Miyu was the first to move, her katana raised in a steady motion. She summoned the wind, creating a protective do that swirled around the group.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
The arrows clattered against the wind barrier, so bouncing off harmlessly.
But not all of them.
Will Razer leaped into action, his body a blur as he deflected one arrow after another.
His hands moved so quickly that sparks of electricity flickered in the air, creating afterimages that trailed behind him.
It might not sound impressive, but the arrows flew toward them at a speed of at least 5,000 kiloters per hour.
To put that into perspective, the fastest bullet from a sniper rifle travels at around 3,600 kiloters per hour.
This felt like a barrage of snipers raining down bullets upon them, each shot more lethal than the last.
One arrow flew past him, but before it could land, the hunter with diamond-like skin moved.
CLANG!
The arrow struck his nearly impenetrable body, barely leaving a mark.
But that didn't change the fact that they were in a very dangerous situation.
"There's too many!" Miyu grunted, her brow furrowed in concentration as more arrows began breaking through her do.
"Hold it together, Miyu!" Will Razer called out, knocking another arrow aside "We can't afford to fall apart here."
The arrows kept coming, relentless and precise. They weren't random shots—Reign knew exactly where to aim.
He was using the fog to his advantage.
"We need to find him!" one of the hunters shouted, frustration in his voice as he dodged another arrow, barely avoiding a fatal hit.
"He's moving!" Adrian growled, eyes narrowing as he tried to focus through the dense mist. "Shit. He's using his clones to confused —he's everywhere."
Will Razer's eyes darted around, trying to catch any glimpse of movent through the fog, but it was like trying to see through murky water.
Reign had the upper hand. He could strike from anywhere, and they wouldn't see it coming.
Suddenly, a sharp whoosh cut through the air, and before anyone could react, an arrow grazed Adrian's arm.
He winced but didn't slow down, gritting his teeth as he adjusted his stance .
"He's close! I can feel him!"
