Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

"Adrian!" Will Razer barked, his voice cutting through the confusion. "Get rid of this fog! We can't keep fighting blind."

The hunter nodded, closing his eyes to focus. He could manipulate the fog but clearing it would take time—too much time.

"It'll take about a minute, "he replied, concentrating as he began to work on dispersing the mist.

"We don't have that long," Miyu muttered.

Without waiting for another word, she tightened her grip on her katana, and the air around her began to swirl in response.

"I'll handle this."

She let out a sharp breath and, in one powerful slash, sent a gust roaring outward. The wind howled as it tore through the miasma, sweeping the thick fog away in an instant.

The mist, once a disorienting blanket, scattered like leaves in the wind, revealing everything.

Finally, they spotted Reign, and it was time to launch their counter attack.

They moved in unison, charging forward, but the restriction in their mobility locked their movement speed at a fix rate.

Just as they got close for the attack, a new fog rolled in, this time as dark as night.

It enveloped the area, thick and heavy, consuming everything in its path.

"What the—" Adrian was speechless. "He's mimicking my technique!"

The dark fog pressed in, clouding their senses and making it difficult to see clearly.

Unlike before, this new mist absorbed light, turning the forest into a disorienting maze of darkness. They could barely see each other, let alone their enemy.

"Stay close!" Will commanded, and they formed a tight circle with their backs against each other.

They couldn't comprehend how they had ended up in this predicament.

Usually, they fought against more powerful demons, relying on their tactics to claim victory.

But now, they were dealing with an opponent who was far smarter, forcing them to adapt quickly or face death.

"Did you really think it would be that easy? You should have accepted my offer, humans."

Reign's voice echoed through the black haze, taunting them.

The idea for the mist was inspired by Adrian, brought to life through Divine Creation.

Your journey continues with empire

Reign found the flexibility of this power amazing; it just showed why devils had to hide from angels.

With skills like this, angels were turning out to be much more dangerous than he had ever imagined.

It was a good thing the angels he fought in the past hadn't had access yet to this power; otherwise, he would not know what hit him.

As the dark fog swirled around them, the hunters felt their senses dulling again.

Panic threatened to set in, but the they fought to keep their focus.

"Adrian, can you counter this?" Will Razer asked.

"I can try! But it'll take time. We need to find the source of that fog first!"

"I can clear it again," Miyu interjected, raising her katana.

With a downward swing, a powerful gust of wind slashed through the mist, creating a temporary gap.

But just as quickly, the dark fog closed in again.

Suddenly, a sound pierced through the air—a whisper, a rustle.

"An attack!" Adrian warned, raising his weapon just in time to deflect an arrow that shot through the darkness. It whizzed past him, barely missing his shoulder.

"Are you all just going to stand there? I can pick you off one by one if you don't move," Reign taunted.

CRACK!

Will Razer didn't waste a second, sending a bolt lightning toward the source of the voice.

"You can't hit me with that," Reign chuckled, his laughter filled with amusement as if the attack was nothing more than a joke to him.

"Don't let him get in your head!" Miyu urged, trying to keep everyone calm. "Focus! We need to work together!"

"Right!" the hunters took a deep breath, trying to steady themselves .

"Miyu, can you create a wind current to push all the fog back in one attack"

"I'll try, but it won't last long. We need to find him quickly!"

With that, she drew on her power, channeling the energy into her weapon.

As she took a deep breath, the air around her shifted, and her body began to hum with a rising intensity.

"Ancient Roc Breathing Technique..." she whispered, exhaling slowly.

Without moving, the sheer force of her breath pushed the fog back, clearing the space around them.

But she wasn't finished. Steadying her breathing, she inhaled and exhaled in cycles, each breath pushing the fog farther away.

"Sky Splitter!" she shouted, bringing her sword down in a powerful arc.

For a split second, time seemed to freeze before the air exploded with a deafening BOOOOOM!

The ground shook, and the fog was blasted away in all directions, leaving nothing but a clear path ahead.

They expected to face Reign right away, but instead, what greeted them was a massive white snake with gleaming golden eyes.

Its towering body stretched upward, reaching over 1,000 feet, even breaking the height limit.

But what was unsettling was how its massive body didn't even disturb the air.

For something so huge, its silence was unnatural, as if it defied the laws of nature itself.

"What the hell is that thing?" Adrian mumbled, his eyes wide with disbelief.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He couldn't sense any negative energy, which meant they weren't dealing with a demon.

Will Razer, on the other hand, scanned the surroundings, searching for any sign of their enemy.

There was nothing—no trace, no indication of where he had gone.

"Did the snake eat him?" one of the hunters wondered aloud.

In the distance, Reign stood on a tree branch.

He had attempted to launch a powerful attack against the giant snake, but the creature didn't even flinch.

Realizing that he was facing something unknown, he decided to retreat, needing time to assess what he was really up against.

And what was the perfect way to do it, than let the hunters fought them.

It might had look that he was dominating them, but he knew that the hunters where not yet giving their best.

They still had their overload mode, after all.
