LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 272: Long Ride
He didn't need to tap into his Lightning attribute; his agility alone was fast enough, moving at (SS-) level speed.
In moments, he closed the gap between himself and the surviving robots. With a swift upward swing of his dagger, he sliced through their hardened metal bodies effortlessly.
The other robots retaliated with their saw blades, but Reign dodged at the last moment, using their large weapons as stepping stones to jump.
Mid-air, he spun, his twin blades severing two robot heads cleanly before they could even recognized what happened.
And he was not done yet.
Using a headless robot as a platform, he launched himself towards another cluster of enemies, his movements a blur as he dodge the incoming slashes mid air.
When he got close enough, he sliced through the remaining robots effortlessly, his dagger cutting through them like butter.
After clearing the immediate threats, Reign sprinted back to the Humvee. He stood at the roof with his two blades ready
VROOOOM!
The trio accelerated through the streets, leaving the destroyed checkpoint behind.
But they all knew this was just the beginning; what would happen would be even more chaotic.

BANG!
Reign squeezed the trigger of the sniper rifle, the sharp crack echoing across the road.
The weapon, borrowed from Lilith's organization, was meant for stationary combat due to its weight, but in Reign's hands, it felt as light as a pistol.
He steadied his aim, slowly as he adjusted for wind and distance, before delivering a precise shot.
BANG!
As the bullet left the barrel, it sliced through the air and shattered the windshield of a police car, instantly headshotting the driver.
The vehicle veered wildly out of control, slamming into another car in a violent collision.
But it wasn't over yet; more and more cars were coming hot on their heels.
BOOOOM!
Reign shot the fuel tank of one of the police car and it exploded.
In responses, they tried to shoot Reign's Humvee and use rocket launchers to stop him, but he was always one step ahead. His reaction time allowed him to pinpoint his targets with deadly accuracy.
BOOOOM!
BOOOOM!
BOOOOM!
Just like that, multiple police cars exploded, and Reign's ride plowed through anything they sent in their way.
"Hit the gas!" Reign ordered after seeing a roadblock .
The blockade was fortified with several police cruisers strategically positioned across the road.
In addition to the cars, spikes had been deployed on the road, glinting dangerously, and further complicating their escape route.
Richard complied and hit the gas at full force, their armored vehicle speeding through the police cars.
He was confident in its durability because this Humvee was built like a tank, designed to take a beating.
VROOOOOOOOM!
As they accelerated, police officers opened fire in an attempt to stop them.
But Reign stood at the hood and began deflecting the bullets with his daggers, each block sending sparks flying as the bullets clashed against his blade.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
With a thunderous crash, they plowed through the vehicles, sending the cars tumbling . Despite the chaos, Reign's group managed to break through.

In just a matter of minutes, they reached the area where Pantheon HQ was located.
It was a huge skyscraper, visible even from a distance.
The open area around it was vast, with a 2-kilometer road leading to the building, flanked by parks on either side.
It was supposed to be a beautiful view, but now it was filled with armed personnel scrambling into defensive positions.
Some took cover behind hastily erected barricades, while others set up heavy machine guns and rocket launchers.
"Send more troops! Stop the intruders no matter what!" Ordered by one of the high ranking guard.
They waited and saw the vehicle but it stopped midway ,
"What's that?" one of the guards pointed, noticing an individual carrying two daggers standing at the hood.
They squinted their eyes to see more clearly, but the moment they blinked, the figure disappeared from their sight .
What happened next was a total bloodbath.
SLASH!
SLASH!
SLASH!
Without wasting time, Reign began his one-sided massacre and cut everyone on his path. He moved so fast that before they could react, he had already moved on to another victim.
"Shoot him ! Shoot him! "
The sound of gunfire echoed through the air as the guards attempted to stop hims, but it was no use.
He was unbelievably fast, dodging bullets like they were moving in slow motion.
Armed with two daggers, he slashed through anyone who tried to stop him, cutting their throats without remorse.
Richard, watching from afar, couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Is he really a demon? How can his technical skill be this good?" he whispered to Melissa, both of them wide-eyed with amazement, as Reign continued to deflect bullets with precision.
Demons typically rely on their sheer power, often neglecting refined techniques in combat.
However, observing Reign's fluid and precise movements, he appeared more akin to a seasoned mercenary than a demon relying solely on brute force.
His actions were so clean and controlled that one could hardly believe he was a demon at all.
The trio focused their eyes on him, feeling like they were watching a movie at this point.
Reign faced a Divergent-type guard clad in a powered suit with a long blade.
The guard was fast, but as their blades clashed, Reign used Stream Guide to redirect the force downward.
In a seamless motion, he cleanly decapitated his adversary with his other blade.
Before the other guards could react, the divergent's head flew through the air, and Reign was already moving towards his next target.
"He's too strong, and he's not even serious right now!," George exclaimed.
Mellisa nodded in agreement, her eyes wide with awe. "It's like he's in a different league altogether. They don't stand a chance."
Near the main building, soldiers and guards tried to stop Reign, but he moved like a blur that their efforts were useless. He moved through their ranks like a ghost, leaving a trail of headless bodies behind.
It reached a point where some of the guards felt like just facing the enemy was suicidal, with no hope of victory whatsoever.
"Why are you attacking us ?" One of the guards shouted in fear he wanted to know why they had to die.
"It's because a pig took something that does not belong to him," Reign answered coldly
SWOOOSH!

He threw a small knife, which hummed from the force , and pierced through three people at once before landing on the wall and also penetrating it.
Even a simple knife throw became a deadly weapon in his hands.
Without wasting movements, he retrieved another throwing knife from his "Knee Sheath" and launched it again.
Each hum as the blade cut through the air meant one to four lives ended simultaneously, escalating the chaos of the situation to a whole new level.
"When will the backup arrive?" one of the guards shouted, realizing this situation was far beyond their capabilities.
"I don't..," a guard attempted to reply, but before he could finish, a dagger struck his head, bursting it open.
His comrades, who witnessed this, were stunned.
But soon after, their heads also exploded .
Their brain matter painted the ground, and they all met a gruesome end because their employer had foolishly provoked someone that should not be messed with.
