Chapter 434: Blue team (part 1)
Both Wu and Snow were stunned as they saw the beast. Their brains needed a moment to handle the surprise of seeing one in the flesh rather than in some textbook or doc.u.mentary. The feeling of having to face something that should be extinct and was now threatening your life was hard to describe.
It was a natural reaction for them to think that everything they were experiencing now was just a dream, but their senses and their inner Altered beast knew it weren’t true. They could feel something react inside their bodies when looking at this thing. Meanwhile, the last member of their team had a different take on the situation.
‘Huh, somehow I pictured them scarier. … am I going crazy? Or is it because I fought against Billy who turned into a bloodthirsty Werewolf? No, that’s not it. Even Damion was more of a monster than this thing before us.’ A simple beast was doing cruel things in nature, were as humans did stuff to each other for what reason? Gary didn; understand, but a human was the one that had placed his mother in the hospital. To him, those that could hurt someone like his mother were the true nightmares that people needed to be scared of, Gary thought to himself after receiving the system notification.
For a while now, the Werewolf had believed that his only way to grow stronger would be by levelling up through the system. One of his Quests wanted him to reach Level 25, which would reward him with a Cla.s.s Promotion. Given how much stronger he got from receiving his Cla.s.s, it was a no-brainer that it would make him even more powerful. Unfortunately, the system had been really stingy these days in terms of giving him Exp. The days of just fighting against his local highschool mates, and challenging strangers for exp were over, but fighting against beasts would surely fix that.
On top of that, it allowed him to raise his stats.
After all, how many chances would he get to consume an Altered and actually get away with it? Each one was a precious resource to whatever background they belonged to, so unless he was willing to face the backlash, he could only forget about it…
“Hey, Greeny, forget about the whole supporting us bit. I’m sure you want to pa.s.s this in one piece, same as us, so whatever chance we get, we need to attack this thing. Don’t hold back and let’s take this thing out together!” Wu said as he regained his composure.
“I’ll distract it, so the two of you better make use of that time!” Snow shouted, as he ran forward. His front two teeth started to elongate until they went past his chin. At the same time, the teenager’s ears started to grow larger, while white fur grew on t
he back of them.
The special armour they had been told to wear was not only strong, it was also flexible, able to accommodate their transformation without a problem.
‘Ha, so he really is a rabbit. No wonder that guy would only eat carrots. Still, I shouldn’t forget that he was ranked number 2 in the facility, so I shouldn’t underestimate him just based on his Altered form.’
Gary had to admit that he was impressed by both Wu and Snow. They might have been stunned at first, they only needed a moment to understand that they couldn’t let their fears get the best of them, not if they wanted to survive this.
The beast who had only stared at the trio, seemingly deciding who to target first, it ran towards Snow, and it was picking up speed. It felt like the Rabbit Altered was trying to escape and naturally it wouldn’t let him.
“I bet you think I"m a tasty rabbit! Well, let me show you that you"re nothing but an ugly oversized dog!” Snow shouted, as he zigzagged around the beast. p.i.s.sed off at failing to catch it, the beast followed him as he neared the wall.
Just then, when the beast looked like it was about to bite down and chop on the agile Snow, he leapt up, and his feet transformed. They grew long and flat like a rabbits, and the surface of the bottom of them was now larger. Immediately, Snow jumped off the wall, and landed behind the beast.
Given its momentum, it was unable to change direction, ending up cras.h.i.+ng into the wall. It let out a howl in pain. Its tail was wagging left and right, trying to hit Snow, but he would hop, and jump out of the way with his strong legs and jump around the beast.
“I guess I was being generous, comparing you to a dog, you’re far stupider. Did even one of you get a functioning brain?” Snow taunted it.
Turning around, the beast opened its two mouths. While it had suffered some damage, it was far too little to do anything to it, but Snow had never believed that this little would do the trick. Instead of letting the beast build up momentum and run towards him again, Snow jumped from the ground, and his large feet hit the top of one of the beast"s mouths. He pushed off, jumping backwards, slamming the beast’s mouth shut, while also avoiding the other mouth of the beast.
“Do the two of you need some sort of invitation? Am I meant to do all the work here? I mean, I"m sure I could beat the thing myself, but I thought Mr. Corvus said the idea was to work together! I don’t fancy getting hit by that d.a.m.ned tail or by its mouth, so get off your a.r.s.es and do something!” &n
bsp;
“I thought your buddy was the silent type… looks like that is only true when he has a carrot in his mouth.” Gary sneered and Wu could only add a quiet ‘tell me about it.’ under his breath.
“I have no idea what this mutt can do, but to be honest, I’d rather not find out. Let’s just both use all our strength to take it down in one hit!” The former rank 3 suggested as he ran forward and began to transform mid-sprint.
