BXBX NOVEL Chapter 14: Dark Encounter
Chapter 14: Dark Encounter
"Shit, what the heck is that thing?" The two remaining police officers witnessed the gruesome scene unfold before them and instinctively raised their guns.
However, the creature moved too quickly, and their proximity was too close. They couldn't react in time, still reeling from the shock of watching their comrade meet such a sudden and gruesome death.
SWOOOOSH!
The sound of the creature's movements echoed.
Next moment.
"Agggghhhhh" Their screams of pain pierced the air as the monster began the attack, its claws slashing at them with lightning speed.
Caught off guard, they couldn't even muster a response as they instinctively tried to shield themselves with their arms—a dumb move, given the monster's razor-sharp claws.
As expected, the monster's claw tore through their arms, but since they had bones, it didn't completely sever them. Nonetheless, the damage was too much, rendering any difference negligible.
All they could manage was a chorus of pained cry and flailing limbs as they were tossed around like hapless ragdolls in a particularly scary game of run from the monster.
"Free food! Hehehe," Reign exclaimed in a chillingly casual tone, his demeanor reminiscent of a horror movie villain who just stumbled upon an all-you-can-eat buffet.
With a twisted grin, he licked his claw, savoring the taste of their blood as if it were some exquisite delicacy. Truly, he seemed more like a creature straight out of a horror tale than anything else.
"Monster..." One of them managed to gasp weakly, blood spurting from his hands and chest.
"Where? Where is the monster?" Reign's head whipped around frantically as he searched for the source of terror, only to realize with a chuckle, "Oh, it's me!" He pointed to himself, his claw gleaming in the dim light.
"Agghhhhh, my hand!... It hurts!!!" Another one screamed, his cry echoing through the darkness as he realized the consequence of his foolish attempt to use his hand as a shield.
"Well, your hand's gone, so I guess that's a pretty standard reaction, huh?" he remarked, his tone playful and his confidence evident.
After realizing his advantage compared to ordinary humans, he became more laid-back. Even in the face of firearms, he realized that he could fight back.
In this dark place, he stood as the apex predator. With each kill, he anticipated ascending to a higher level and evolving even further.
"Don't worry... I'll savor every part of your body," Reign grinned maniacally, wasting no time as he began devouring the first corpse .
The two soon-to-be dead policemen watched helplessly as he devoured the corpse of their comrade like a frenzied beast, unable to intervene due to their fatal wounds.
As for the dogs, they wasted no time in fleeing at the sight of their owner being consumed like a rare steak.
After the first target, Reign started devouring the other two, and his feasting became much faster.
In no time, he finished them off, leaving behind only the evidence of his gruesome feast.

[More Information]
Shadow Hunter : Undead creature with the best stealth abilities among the hunter type. It could move quickly and silently, especially at night. This made it ideal for an assassin-like role.
Race skills : Shadow Veil (I). This skill allowed the creature to darken its form entirely, creating an optical illusion that it had transformed into a shadow.
[]
Paralyzer Hunter: This undead creature is extremely dangerous, possessing lethal abilities. Its claws secrete a potent chemical capable of paralyzing its victims.
Race Skill: Paralyzed (I) - Enables the host to paralyze victims with its claws.
[]
Blade Hunter: Swift and formidable. It boasts superior attack and speed compared to other hunter types. It can extend its claws for added reach, making it the optimal choice for DPS among the three.
Race Skill: Clawer (I) - Grants the ability to adjust the length of claws and enhances their durability.

'The Shadow Veil skill is great for hiding, but it becomes pretty useless during the daytime or in brightly lit areas. Plus, it's too similar to my Night Crawl ability, and considering I'm already pretty dark-skinned, I think I will pass on this one' He muttered to himself. It seems like the Shadow Hunter path was out of the question.
'Paralyzer is decent,' he muttered to himself, 'But honestly, I don't need to immobilize my opponent. I'll just cut their legs off; it'll have the same effect.'
He had no better choice, so he figured his best option at the moment was to choose the Blade Hunter Race.
It offered the highest stat boost, and the Clawer skill was very useful. It had the ability to catch enemies off guard and inflict significant damage.
