Chapter 555 I’m The Attacker
In this type of situation, it was hard for Gary to really consider his next move. The Alpha Werewolf hadn"t really come prepared with a plan in mind, aside from defeating Slith and Midwak, but with the sudden betrayal everything had turned even more chaotic. Still, the teenager thought that it might actually turn out to be a good thing, at least now it seemed like he wouldn"t have to defeat nearly a dozen Altered by himself.
At the very back of the room, he could see Midwak dealing with the Altered who had seemingly wanted to avenge Slith. As valiant as his ideal might have been, he only ended up sharing in the gang leader"s demise. What"s more, the Omega Werewolf took a giant bite out of the Altered who was barely hanging on to life.
a�?Is this what a real Werewolf is like? He... he"s far worse than those mindless beasts in the special cla.s.s!" Gary thought in disgust as he watched Midwak take another chunk out ouf the Altered. He wasn"t even chewing, but greedily swallowing it up.
At least the behavior of beasts could be excused as animals acting on instinct, but a Werewolf was still of sane mind. Midwak was just being himself, and in a lot of ways that"s what made the gruesome sight even more grim for Gary.
[2/11 Altered have been defeated]
Another system message popped up, confirming the death of the Altered who must have experienced the agony of being eaten alive. Surprisingly, that didn"t deter most of the other Altered as they looked to continue with their combined attack on Midwak.
a�?What are you looking at?!a�? One of the Altered closest to Gary shouted at him. Rather than join the ones eager to gang up on the strongest fighter amongst them, this gang member chose to engage Gary before deciding which side to choose. He went to strike the Alpha Werewolf with his hands.
Gary reacted fast and grabbed onto them, but it appeared the Altered was in the middle of transforming. From the side of his body, several long thin limbs about as thick as a bunch had come out from his ribs.
It looked like he had at least thirty sharp insect limbs with pointed ends. All of them went straight towards Gary, penetrating the side of his arms, his shoulders and his own ribs.
[-38 HP]
[212/250 HP]
a�?Freaking h.e.l.l, that"s a lot of damage!"
Ever since Gary had increased his Endurance, in hopes of turning more into a tank-like character, he had hardly suffered attacks that took out chunks of his HP. Suffering such an attack, which had nearly managed to cut through him, made him realise that his Endurance still had a long way to go.
If Gary let go of the attack, he was afraid that the strange arms would go in deeper, so instead he pushed the other off him, making use of his Strength, causing the Altered to fall, but as he did, Gary saw another large object swinging right for his face. Ducking down, Gary rolled to the side, and then pushed off his feet, ending up near the entrance door.
a�?All of these Altered here are strong, this is nothing like the guys at the academy." Gary thought.
On top of that, they had now all finished transforming, and it looked like six had their eyes on fighting him rather than Midwak. Judging by the looks on their faces, they didn"t seem too happy about it, but going after Gary was something they would have done anyway.
a�?I should be thankful Midwak chose now of all times for his betrayal. Fighting six Altered will be hard, but with a bit of luck, perhaps the others can injure him while I deal with my half."
Strangely, rather than a.s.sa.s.sination, or a duel, Gary ended up in a sort of compet.i.tion with Midwak, both Werewolves having to take out the Altered on their side before their fight would begin. One of the Altered had giant stingers on top of his forearms, which he pointed at Gary like they were guns, and the next moment he started to fire away, small little needle flying in the teenager"s direction
Gary did not want to find out how much damage they could inflict, so he ran to the side, avoiding them all as best he could, he ran from side to side, and looked at the first Altered who had attacked him, which appeared to have some type of Iron skin on his body.
So far, he had just stayed still standing there, but he had a reason to be, his defence was one of the strongest in the entire group.
a�?If your defence is the strongest, then I will just have to make a stronger attack!" Gary thought.
As he dodged, another large limb came from another Altered. Then another gang member soon stood in his way. At that point, Gary suddenly came to a stop, and darted at extreme speed to the right of him.
One more Altered joined in on the attack but Gary spun his body, heading straight for his target. If someone was watching from the outside, it was almost as if they were watching an Altered sports match. Gary was using his skills that he had learnt as a rugby player to avoid the others coming towards him,
a�?He"s really fast for an Altered.a�? One of the members complained.
Now the iron skinned Altered could see that Gary was coming toward him, but with a smile on his face, he welcome the challenge.
a�?You think doing the same thing will make a difference?!a�? The Altered taunted him. a�?You"ve already given it your best shot, face it, you"re not getting past my defence.a�?
a�?If my best isn"t good enough, then I just have to be better than that.a�? Gary shouted as he told his system to allocate the stat points he had kept in reserve for just such an occasion. He was aware that now wasn"t the time to be stingy, so he converted his p.a.w.n Points to be able to enjoy an even bigger boost.
[2 points have been added to strength]
[Streangth 36 >>>> 38]
a�?This is not enough, I need to get stronger!"
[Would you like to convert 2 p.a.w.n Point into Stat Point(s)?]
[Yes]
[5 Stat Points have been obtained]
[5 Points have been allocated into Strength]
[Your base strength is now at 41]
[2 Points have been allocated into Dexterity]
[Your base Dexterity is now at 30]
a�?I focused too much on becoming a tank. I thought as long as I didn"t die, as long as I took all the hits for the others, that they would survive, but in this situation, I have to think differently. I was the one that decided to attack the Scatterbugs, so now I need to have the Strength to attack!"
[Skill activated Claw Drain]
[-15 Energy]
Gary"s nails extended slightly, and with his boost in speed, he lifted both his arms and swung them down in a large x like position. His claws went deep into the iron skin, and the Altered who had been confident in his defense remained standing for a few seconds... until he eventually fell to the floor.
[+15 HP]
[212/250 HP]
[3/11 Altered have been defeated]
