Chapter 150: The Bigger Monster
BOOOOOM!
Another thunderous sound reverberated as the Giant's hand failed to grab Reign .
It tried to locate Reign's new position.
Suddenly, a chirping sounds echoed, resembling thousands of birds, and in the next moment, a red streak of lightning zipped away from the Giant.
"RAAWWWWWR!" The giant roared but instead of a singular roar, it sounded like the collective shouts of hundreds of thousands of people.
Looking closely, its massive body was composed of a gooey dark substance, within which the creepy faces of the corrupted humans merged together, forming this abomination.
That explained why there were no corrupted beings inside the city; they were all gathered here within this monstrous amalgamation
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
Each massive stride of the Giant Corrupted shook the ground, sending tremors all over the place.
The air quivered with its sheer force.
As the shockwaves spread outward, it triggered the collapse of nearby buildings.
Their weakened structures, already compromised by the corrosive miasma, could not withstand the tremors.
'That was close,' Reign sighed in relief as he saw the Giant Corrupted moving away from him.
After narrowly dodging the Giant's grasp, he quickly devise a plan to draw its attention elsewhere.
Aware that remaining within its striking range would only force him to continually dodge its attacks, he knew he had to be smart.
With a quick glance around, he spotted a pile of debris and concealed himself within it, while sending Arc to act as a decoy.

It was a split-second decision, but in that moment, it felt like the best option available to him.
'So that's where all the corrupted are,' he mused to himself, taking in the sight of the dead corrupteds scattered on the ground. It had likely fallen off from the Giant as it moved around.
'This world is really dangerous,' he sighed, refocusing his gaze on the Giant, which was still chasing Arc like an idiot.
Its wide movements generated winds that blew the black miasma away, granting him a clear view of the monstrous entity.
However, despite this amusing scenario, it served as a wake-up call.
When dealing with the Corrupted, he realized that he should expect anything.
There was a reason why they could push the world into this state, despite the existence of powerful humans and demons.
"Alright, time to show that pile of flesh a lesson," Reign chuckled aloud.
He had been contemplating whether to run away and hide, but after seeing the abundance of corrupted beings present, he felt that this was his chance to become an instant millionaire in terms of Dark Dust.
He didn't know what he would receive after reaching level 30, but one thing was certain: the more Dark Dust he possessed, the greater the benefits he would receive later on.
And when it came to benefits, Reign wasn't one to shy away.
"Buster Mode!" He activated his ability , and exoskelton began forming all over his body. Thanks to the System Skill Assistance, he was able to summon the Buster Mode faster.
But he didn't settle for just the base design.
Oh no, not for this special occasion.
He knew he had to make some adjustments.
The sound of bones cracking and gears shifting echoed as Reign's body continued to expand.
He grew so heavy that the ground beneath him began to crack under the pressure.
This time, he increased his overall size by more than 200%, reaching his maximum enlargement capacity.
Now standing at 15 feet tall, Reign found himself towering over the landscape.
The barrels of the Rail Gun had also grown longer and heavier.
'Weird problems require weird solutions,' he remarked playfully as he aimed his Death Rail Guns at the giant's right legs.
With such a massive target in front of him, he'd have to be blind not to hit it at all.
"Locked and loaded," he declared.
The rail guns hummed to life as he infused them with his lightning and negative energy attributes.
With a surge of power, they began to charge, emitting a buzzing sound reminiscent of a laser beam.
Tension filled the air as Reign prepared to unleash his devastating attack.
ZZZZZZTT!
ZZZZZZTT!
ZZZZZZTT!
He fired the three rail guns simultaneously, their hypervelocity projectiles piercing the air with a supersonic speed that easily broke the sound barrier.
BOOOOOM! -verified
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
Three deafening blasts echoed at the same time, and the damaged they cause riddled the Giant's leg with holes the size of a wide pole.
But it wasn't enough.
He continued to unleash a barrage of shots, the Giant's legs appearing to burst under the consecutive powerful attacks.
Desperately, the Giant reached out to grab hold of a nearby building to steady itself, but the structure crumbled under its immense weight, forcing it to stumble directly to the ground.
Reign seized the opportunity and continued firing while the Giant remained in its weakened position.
With his energy reserves now much larger, he could afford this expenditure without hesitation.
Cycle after cycle, Reign fired his rail guns, targeting the limbs first and then the torso.
With each volley, Reign watched as the Giant slowly shrank in size, the dead bodies of the corrupted beings that formed it starting to shed away.
When he saw that it had diminished to less than a quarter of its initial size, he deactivated Buster Mode and summoned back all the excess bones.
Then, with his Skull Grinder Carnage in hand, he charged towards it to finish the job.
Debris littered his path, but he easily dodged and leaped over the obstacles, while slashing through anything that dared to block his way.
When he reached his target, it had finally managed to stand up, but now its size was only that of a 10-story building, which, in Reign's opinion, no longer a threat.
"It's grinding time," he taunted with a crazed look as he tapped into the raw power and energy of his legs, propelling himself into the air .
In a twisted sense, this monstrous thing had saved him time by combining itself.
"I have to thank you for making my job easy," Reign taunted with a grin as he brought down his Skull Grinder in a vertical arc, aiming directly for the Giant's head.
"RAWWWWR!" Some of the corrupted detached themselves from the Giant's head to confront Reign mid air, but it was futile.
With each swing of his Skull Grinder, dozens of them fell, unable to withstand his onslaught.
This monster was the stuff of human nightmares, a giant capable of laying waste to entire cities.
But against Reign, it appeared nothing more than prey awaiting to be devoured by an even stronger and dangerous monster.
"Just stay put and let me kill you!" Reign taunted as landed into its head, unleashing a barrage of fire breaths that proved devastatingly effective against it.
The corrupted faces contorted in agony as the flames Reign had unleashed on them carried both negative and lightning energy.
This combination intensified the damage they suffered to a new level.
The Giant, in an attempt to rid itself of Reign, smack it's own head.
However, Reign anticipated the move and leaped into the air.
Then, with a decisive slash, Reign used his Skull Grinder to slice through the Giant's hand covering it's head.
"You guys never learn. I'm the bigger monster here," Reign declared with a sadistic tone.
