Open Hunt

After undergoing the transformation into a Blade Hunter, Reign's physical form underwent a metamorphosis.

His once robust physique underwent a noticeable slimming, carving out a sleeker profile that exuded both agility and strength.

The previously ordinary claws adorning his fingers elongated and hardened, morphing into formidable weapons capable of effortlessly cleaving through stone.

At the same time, his thighs broadened, imbuing him with enhanced stability and power, facilitating swift and forceful movements.

Besides these significant physical changes, his hairstyle went through a noticeable transformation. Cut shorter than before, his hair gained a sturdy texture, like steel wire. Each strand seemed stronger, resisting even the lightest breeze.

His facial features had also altered, with his skin now exhibiting patches of gray, suggesting a drawback of his improved race. While he had gained strength, this change made him slightly more conspicuous.

"It's time to hunt ," A wicked grin appeared on Reigns lips. He was now addicted to the feeling of getting stronger.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Multiple gunshots reverberated and echoed throughout the cemetery, and the surrounding area was filled with chaos and fear .

 "Code 3 , Code 3, Code 3. We are being attacked by a monster!" The policeman hurriedly spoke on the radio. He was on the sidelines while the other cops were on the field, gunning down the monster that just attacked them.

"Damn it, he's too fast "

"We can't kill this thing. We need to run "

"Are you an idiot ? We're going to get killed one by one if we do that."

Fear coursed through their veins as the realization of their impending death became more and more clear .

"Fuck it!" One of the police officers could not take it anymore and started running in the opposite direction. This sudden action compelled the others to follow suit in order not to be left behind.

"Chance!" Reign saw this and dashed forward to bite off the head of the nearest officer .

CRACK!

The police head was crushed like a cookie and died instantly. Reign's brutality stunned the other officers, who stared in shock and disbelief as their colleague's lifeless body slumped to the ground .

"More ... I need more to level up. I need more meat. I need more brains. " He laughed maniacally.

With every bite, he could feel his body growing faster and stronger . He was like an eating machine with an endless hunger for human meat.

He fixed his gaze on the remaining cops, who ran with their tails between their legs. With every step, he felt his blood boiling, as if something beyond himself was controlling his movements .

He started running again, and with an explosive first step, he ran into another cop in a matter of seconds. He moved by instinct and with the speed of a hunter. He was an unstoppable force of nature that would eat everything in his wake.

"No!!!" One of the policemen felt a tingling sensation on his neck . It was followed by a sudden change in his vision.

"Eh?"The policeman gasped in horror, unable to comprehend the gruesome scene unfolding before him. He saw his own headless body as he fell.

Reign didn't even give him a second look and continued hunting down the others.

"Got you!" Another police officer fell victim to his massacre. With incredible strength, Reign ripped the man's neck from his body.

"Agggggghhhh." The policeman managed one last cry before his brain registered that he was already dead.

"Another Brain" Reign opened up his mouth and swallowed the whole head like an apple .

Then he continued his manslaughter without any remorse or sympathy for the innocent.

Outside the cemetery.

"Sir, we got reports that a wild animal was attacking us," A timid policeman reported the current situation .

The lieutenant's face turned grim at the report.

"Where is the special force? It's been 20 minutes since we called them," he muttered through gritted teeth, his anger mounting. They were taking too long to send a response unit. His frustration grew as he checked his watch repeatedly.

"Sir, that's the bad news. We just received a call that the special force would be late."

"This..." The lieutenant was taken aback.

"I need to call them then. " He sighed with a heavy heart and pulled out his personal phone. He dialed the number he knew by heart, his heart thumping heavily in his chest.
