boom! The explosion that followed was even more powerful than the one before, and the shockwave echoed through the room as if the entire building was shaking. 'not good!' Reina tried to yell, but couldn't even open his mouth. bite! His body was shaking violently, as if something had entered his body and disturbed his strength. He protected himself with his demonic barrier, absorbing some of the impact, but the force of the blast still staggered him. Bang! Anne was also affected and tried hard to keep her balance. A feeling of nausea rose from the bottom of their stomachs, as if something was disturbing the order in their bodies.
"Well!" The remaining mana in the air flickered, creating an eerie atmosphere. 'Divine attributes?' Divine attribute, the devil's greatest enemy. "ha……" Reina took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, risking exposing his position. "Well……" Anne gritted her teeth. Her defense was not as good as Reina's, so she endured the pain. “You bastard…” The sneer on her face had long since disappeared, replaced by an angry expression. However, Reina's heart was filled with deeper worries. 'Peque.' One of their members was killed by the explosion. Half-demons usually have superb self-regeneration abilities, but the divine attribute restrains this. As the dust settled, a voice echoed through the room, mocking and distant. "How do you feel?" The voice was full of sarcasm, coldness and hatred, which made Reina feel a chill. [Demonization: Devil's Blade] Reina didn't waste any time and immediately activated his skills, attacking in the direction where the sound came from. whoosh! The blade of demonic energy flew out, carrying enormous force and almost destroyed the wall of the laboratory.
Swish! Swish! However, to Reina's shock, there was nothing there, only some equipment fragments scattered on the ground. 'What?' Boom! Suddenly, Reina's keen senses picked up a sound of something hitting the floor, right below them. 'capsule?' It was an arrow with a capsule attached to it. hiss! Then, the gas began to diffuse from the capsule, quickly spreading around them. "ha……" As the gas spread, Reina and Annie began to have difficulty breathing. The demonic power in their bodies became increasingly difficult to control. The power that once strengthened their bodies is now eating away at them. "What is this... huh..." "I...I can't breathe..." The psychedelic effects of darkness and gas made them increasingly vulnerable. Reina's demonization skills quickly dispersed the surrounding gas, but the attacker's tactics became clear. The gas was just a tool to distract attention, create fear and confusion. With Reina's keen senses, he already understood the intention. "Annie, stay close to me!" Reiner yelled, trying to stay calm. However, in the darkness, they could not see each other clearly. The gas and darkness mixed together, blurring their perception. In the gas, they could vaguely see figures moving. It seemed as if the shadows were playing tricks on them. "How does it feel? The thing that gave you power is now coming back to bite you." The voice echoed in their minds. "You bastard..." Reina was furious and wanted to fight back, to curse. whoosh! Suddenly, before he could react, an arrow with a faint magical glow cut through the air and shot towards him. He instinctively activated the demon barrier for defense. clang! The arrow collided with the barrier, sparks flew everywhere. Although he successfully resisted the attack, this attack made Reina feel more psychological pressure. "Reina! Where did the arrow come from?" Anne's voice echoed in the darkness. "I don't know. Stay alert!" Reina replied, trying hard to hide his panic even though he was filled with panic inside.
The fact that Pique had just exploded in front of their eyes was proof enough that their attackers had caught them off guard and were capable enough to overpower or even kill them. whoosh! However, they had no time to catch their breath. As they spoke, arrows filled with magical power shot towards them one after another. The power of these arrows is not very strong, and their demon skin is enough to defend against those ordinary attacks. Stab! Stab! Clang! With enhanced physical abilities approaching those of high-ranking students in the academy, they were able to barely fend off these attacks even with their senses disrupted. But those arrows flashing with blue and gold light were different. Boom! Boom! The blue-gold mana arrows mixed in with the other arrows would explode once they hit them. Every explosion left wounds on their bodies. Worse still, they don't even know where their attacker is, and he seems to be immune to the darkness. The arrows always hit their targets accurately, as if the enemy already knew their location from the beginning. 'Damn it! Where is he?' Whoosh! Boom! Another arrow hit Reina's shoulder, and the pain from the explosion made him feel his bones breaking and heat quickly spread through his body. "Hold!" The damage caused by the explosive arrows was extremely severe, and Reina was in great pain. The relentless attack, the chaotic effect of the gas, and the fear of Pieck's death pushed him to the brink of collapse. "Come out, bastard!" Reiner's roar echoed in the room, his anger turning into an almost crazy determination. He could no longer tolerate the attacker hiding in the shadows and laughing at them, he wanted to destroy him. [Demonization: Devil's Blade] Reiner released his demonic energy without reservation. Primal chaotic energy blades burst out from his body in all directions, and the originally dim room was instantly engulfed by the storm of demonic energy. Whoosh! Clang! Whoosh! The blades collided with the walls, the floor, the ceiling. Blinded by rage, Reiner attacked without reason, creating a storm of destruction, trying to force out the hidden enemy. The attacker had the upper hand, but now had to switch to defense. The arrow attack stopped temporarily, as if the attacker was avoiding Reina's crazy attack. "What happened?" Anne's voice was almost drowned out by the chaos. "I've had enough!" Reiner roared as the blades of demonic energy continued to ravage the room. Anne was also caught up in the chaos, and she quickly activated her defensive skills, the sickle in her hand flashing with evil energy, trying to protect herself from Reiner's indiscriminate attack. "Slower!" However, Annie's defense was limited, her body was weakened by the previous arrow attack, and now Reiner's blade was causing damage to her. She couldn't completely resist these attacks.
Phew! Blood gushed from her wounds. "You bastard! Are you going to kill me?!" Anne's desperate protests did not reach Reiner's ears. In the chaos he had caused, his sanity had completely disappeared. The blades of demonic energy continued to attack indiscriminately, putting Anne in danger. "Hey! Reina! That's enough!" Anne cried, her voice tense as she tried to protect herself from the attack. But Reiner had lost control. His hysterical laughter joined the din of destruction, a sign of his collapse. "Hahaha! I want to survive! I should be the one who survives! Just bear with it!" Reina's laughter echoed, sounding particularly harsh in the chaos. Hearing this, Anne's eyes widened in disbelief and fear. She saw the expression on Reiner's face. The usually calm guy now had a twisted smile on his face, and his trembling body revealed his inner fear. Anne's surprise turned into anger, which was hotter than the demonic light around her. "You bastard!" she gritted her teeth, pouring all her frustration and anger into her words. Although the trio were not true allies, they had completed many of the organization's missions together, always looking out for each other and overlooking each other's annoying points. And now, Reina had abandoned her without hesitation. 'I'm going to kill you, you bastard.' Her already unusual mind was filled with an unnatural anger. As if something had affected her thinking, she temporarily forgot about her attacker and turned her attention to Reina. whoosh! With fierce determination and driven by rage, Annie rushed towards Reiner, her scythe flashing with even more evil energy, ready to strike him down. "You think you can go crazy and I'll just sit there and watch?" Annie roared, her voice cutting through the chaos. She swung her scythe, aiming at Reiner's frantic figure. The air whistled from her attack. clang! Lost in his own madness, Reiner barely managed to raise a defensive barrier. Annie's attack collided with the demon barrier, sparks flew, and illuminated the dark room. "Hahaha...what are you doing?" Reina said, his arms trembling for a moment, but then anger surged in his heart again. "Do you want to die too?" 'Also? Who else is here?' Reiner's mind flashed and he remembered something, but Annie didn't give him more time. As the crash echoed through the room, both Annie and Reyna seemed consumed by the same madness. The demonic blades and evil scythes constantly collided, each attack resonating with rage and madness. Whoosh! Clang! Whoosh! The sound of blades clashing filled the room, drowning out any rational thought. Anne, now lost in her own angry thoughts, attacked frantically. Her attacks were relentless, driven by a sense of betrayal by those she once considered allies. "Do you know what you are doing!" Annie shouted, her voice mixed with anger and despair. The scarlet light of her scythe became more dazzling, casting strange shadows in the chaotic scene. 【Death Seal】 She used her skills and the same eyes appeared in the back of Reiner's head before his insides gushed out.
[Demonization: Devil's Blade] "You bastard." Still grinning twistedly, Reina responded with a demonic counterattack. His blades attacked in a chaotic rhythm, no longer following any strategy, simply responding to the turmoil within him. Puff! Bang! Despite their demonic resilience, wounds began to accumulate on both of them, and the two men fell into an uncontrollable frenzy, attacking each other with increasing deadliness. Bang! Eventually, due to the accumulated wounds, they both fell to their knees, unable to stand up again. "Well……" Blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, and reason slowly returned to their heads. "Um?" Reina looked at his hands and felt something was wrong. 'What was I doing?' he asked himself, but before he could answer, applause broke out. Snap! Snap! Snap! “It really worked…”
