Chapter 790 An Ancient Power.
Gil"s body was starting to transform; it was getting larger by the second and growing in size. The corners of the hoodie he was wearing were being stretched incredibly thin, meanwhile, his face was changing.
A snout was starting to extend out, with a large black nose; his eyes were becoming fiercer, while the color of his skin was turning dark, almost a dark purple. He now was around two times bigger than he previously was, as the face of a Jackal looked over him.
"This is... I"ve seen this before," Xin thought to herself. "This looks like one of the ancient Egyptian G.o.ds. It"s Anubis! That means he has to be a mythical-type Altered."
Xin knew quite a bit about Altered due to her being an Altered herself and studying them. The mythical type beasts, beasts that were pa.s.sed down in legend and name, that they even had tales and stories about them.
It was a.s.sumed that stories were told of these creatures due to the great power they held during their time of reign on Earth. What Xin didn"t expect was for Gil to be so big in size.
Looking down, Gil smirked as he placed both hands together, his fingers interlocking, and swung them down. Xin managed to dive out of the way, as she did, the fists crashed into the ground.
A large dent in the ground was made, and the vibrations shook the entire area. The gla.s.s in all of the shops that were nearby shattered. Thankfully, most of the public had already run away, and it appeared none were harmed, but some of the Howlers members that were standing close fell to their feet.
"All of you, get out of here!" Xin shouted. "Your weapons are doing nothing, and it appears that he"s here for me!"
Some of the Howlers members had already left, realizing the situation. While others were hesitant, they were meant to protect this place; they knew an attack was going to happen, and now they were trusting someone who wasn"t even part of the Howlers currently.
"Keep him busy!" one of the men that originally had met Xin shouted. "If you can"t kick his a.r.s.e, then someone from the Howlers will be here soon, I promise!"
The man shouted and retreated back into one of the shops, looking out from behind a few of the clothes racks. He and the others weren"t further away; most of them decided to break away, while others continued to watch.
They didn"t get too close, as they knew now that any involvement from them would be useless. If anything, they would just get in her way.
Xin looked at the destruction that was caused by the hit on the ground. "If I get hit by that, it"s going to hurt quite a bit. I wonder if his Altered form with his sheer size is his strength, or is he hiding something else!"
Immediately, Gil turned around and swung his arm, to which Xin had timed it perfectly as she jumped up, avoiding the hit. When she landed, she grabbed onto the hand that had just been swung at her.
Both of her hands started to light up, and holding on tight, yellow sparks of electricity came shocking from her body and hitting Gil"s arm. It went straight through his body, and he could feel a deep burning sensation go through his entire body.
Soon after, Xin then kicked off, electric zapping off her foot; she appeared right in front of Gil"s face, and now she had a fist that was sparking yellow.
"This shock is a bit more effective than those anti-altered weapons, right?" Xin exclaimed as she smashed her hand right into his face. Large circles of yellow sparks filled the air in that moment, breaking out everywhere and hitting parts of the floor.
However, unlike the last hit, Gil"s head didn"t swing back; it hadn"t even moved an inch. Instead, his entire body was coated in a strange purple glow.
"Your powers are quite strong. I almost forgot that the AFC doesn"t allow you to do these things, so you are even stronger than you are on TV. But you have no idea what I can do, do you?"
Gil swung both of his hands together, trying to clap them, but Xin zapped her way out of there. As quickly as she got in, she quickly got out and was on the back on the ground.
When Gil"s hands crashed into each other, a loud bang vibrated through the area, shaking the ground slightly once again.
When Xin looked up, she could see something strange; the purple energy that once surrounded his body was now moving to his legs, or in particular, his feet. It coated the area, and that"s when Gil"s large body almost looked like it disappeared.
"Got ya!" Gil said, appearing right in front of Xin. He threw his fist that covered nearly the upper half of her body and head. It pounded right into her. At the same time, a large force of yellow electric power went flying in the air like a force field, but it didn"t matter, as Xin went flying and crashed right into one of the pillars of the shop.
Rubble had fallen on her, and she could tell that a few of her bones had broken. "How... did he move so fast?" Xin wiped some of the blood from her mouth.
She was able to deflect away a large chunk of the powerful attack, but it still had damaged her quite a bit.
"That strange purple power, I thought it reinforced his skin. Which was why my punch didn"t get through, but then when he moved it to his legs. This is going to be hard when I don"t know much about my opponent, but he doesn"t know much about me either."
Xin got out from the rubble and was ready to fight again, but a commotion was occurring from the side, as a man started to walk through, with a fox-like mask on his face, and behind the mask was blonde swept-back hair.
"You people just don"t give up; you keep attacking our city. We managed to capture this place from the Underdogs and are making it into a kingdom for all to live. So you guys just get the heck out of here, because I"m not in the mood!" Kai shouted as he grabbed onto his mask and pulled it off his face, beginning his transformation.
