Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World - Chapter 515

Chapter 515: Demon Capital Part 2
Elizabeth pulled out a small, shiny key made of gold and handed it to Reign. It had strange symbols carved into it, glowing faintly.

“This is the key to the maze,” Elizabeth said, holding it out to Reign. “Without it, no one can get through without forcing their way in.”

Reign examined the key closely. The runes carved into its surface seemed to pulse with a faint energy. He raised an eyebrow.

“So, if someone tries to force their way in… they’d alert the authority?”

Reign stared at the maze for a moment, weighing the possibility. “I guess that’s reassuring for now.”

He didn’t want to risk his second body getting destroyed while he wasn’t around to protect it.

With the key firmly in his hand, Reign approached the entrance of the maze. He raised the key, holding it in front of him.

For a moment, nothing happened. But then, in the air before him, a keyhole slowly materialized, shimmering faintly as if it were an illusion come to life.

Reign’s hand moved , sliding the key into the hole. The instant the metal touched the surface, a quiet click echoed in the air, and the key turned easily.

A ripple of light spread from the keyhole, and suddenly a rectangular portal appeared in front of him, showing the mansion on the other side.

‘Damn, I really underestimated the demons. Who said they were barbaric?’ He let out a laugh at himself. ‘Ah, yeah. It was me.’

“Let’s go,” he lead the way.

“Wait,” Elizabeth called out.

Reign turned to see her holding something out to him. It was a small round pendant, dark and smooth, with intricate symbols etched into its surface.

“What’s this?” he asked, taking the object from her.

“It’s a communication device,” Elizabeth explained, her eyes meeting his. “You can use it to contact me or anyone else who has one. Also, we can call you through this if there’s any news about Lilith.”

He looked down at it, intrigued. “How does it work?”

“You focus on the person you want to reach,” she said. “Channel your thoughts into it, and it’ll connect you. Simple as that.”

Reign slipped the pendant into his pocket, giving a quick nod “Okay. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Elizabeth watched them for a moment longer, her expression hard to read.

Then, without a word, she turned and entered her stagecoach.

When she was completely out of sight, Reign turned to Anna. “Let’s go.”

“Right behind you!” she said, practically bouncing on her heels. Without waiting another moment, she followed closely, her steps matching his.

As they stepped through, the portal closed behind them with a soft whoosh, sealing off the entrance.

The mansion looked huge and fancy, like something out of a movie. Its light-colored stone walls rose four stories high, with rows of tall windows and small balconies on each floor.

Large columns ran up the front, giving it a powerful, elegant look.

On the ground floor, big arched doors opened up to a wide terrace, hinting at the luxury inside.

The roof was dark gray, with small windows peeking out from the top, adding a classic touch.

A broad staircase led from the house down to a carefully arranged garden.

Everything about the mansion, from the spotless stone walls to the precise landscaping, showed elegance.

And he hated it.

‘This place is too pretentious,’ Reign sighed, looking around at the grand surroundings.

He didn’t waste any time. As soon as they entered the mansion, he ignored the beautiful, lavish furniture and instead headed straight for a secluded place at the back.

He entered the room, its tall windows giving a view of the garden below. The walls were draped in rich fabrics, and the bed was large, almost too large.

He turned to Anna, who had followed him inside.

“I want you to protect me,” Reign said firmly, his voice leaving no room for argument. “And no matter what happens, don’t disturb me while I’m in here.”

Anna hesitated, her lips parting as if she was about to say something.

But before she could speak, Reign turned sharply, cutting her off.

“You said you loved me, right?” he asked, his tone softening just a little, though his gaze was still serious. “Then you’ll do what I ask. You won’t do anything I’ll hate, right?”

Anna’s face flushed, and she bit her lip. She wanted to argue, to say that she didn’t want to be left alone . She wanted to be by his side all the time.

But the way he looked at her—almost like he was testing her—made her think twice.

She nodded, though the confusion in her eyes remained.

“I… I understand,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’ll stay out here and wait.”

Reign nodded, satisfied. “Good. I’ll reward you later,”

Anna’s heart skipped a beat at his words. She wasn’t sure if it was the promise itself or the way he said it, but something about his tone made her feel happy.

“I’ll do it! I’ll make sure to protect you no matter what!” Anna said, her smile wide and bright. She turned and left the room, hopping from foot to foot in excitement.

She wondered what reward she would get, and if she got lucky, maybe he would kiss her in the forehead.

Just the thought of it made her blush, and she started squirming down the hallway like a maiden in love.

She tried to steady herself, but her legs felt weak, and the more she thought about it, the more giddy she became

Meanwhile, Reign was very satisfied with how things had turned out. It had become much easier to control Anna now that he was stronger and more mature.

With that issue settled, he walked to the bed and lay down, trying to find a comfortable position.

It was time to return to his original body and check out everything he had gained so far.

‘The portal, the compass,’ those were his priorities, and just imagining the benefits he would gain brought a smile to his face.
