Chapter 671 The Infected Fighter (Part 1)
The system message had appeared, and recently, the system messages didn"t appear around Gary much. Only when it felt like it, the system would warrant giving him any type of exp for the challenge he would face.
In fact, that was partially the reason why Gary knew he had nothing to worry about when he met Haze, just like other Altereds he came across, there was no quest when it came to defeating him.
It did make Gary wonder, though, at what level would one have to be in the AFC for Gary to gain exp? Had he now reached the same level as Jayden? In his mind, he hadn"t. He could maybe put up a fight at nighttime if he used everything he had, but that was all, putting up a fight.
There wasn"t even the chance of him winning compared to what had occurred last time. So if he wanted to gain exp through the AFC, then he would have to rise up the ranks fairly quickly.
Right now, though, Gary was more concerned with the content of the message as he looked at the Altered in front of him. Haze no longer looked like himself. He had undergone a complete transformation.
Gary took a slight step back. There were screams heard in the crowd, clearly unsure of what was going on. However, there were also those that were excited and jumping for joy.
Thinking that they were about to get more than they paid for, as Haze was causing drama beyond the decision result.
"Infected Altered... the last time I saw something like this. Wasn"t it in Slough? When all those kids from the orphanage had taken that strange stuff from the syringe," Gary thought. "I have the same feeling coming from Haze right now. Did he take something similar to make him this way? That might be the case, but there"s a clear difference between the two of them.
"Back then, the kids, the red-haired twins, neither of them were Altereds. The solution had turned them into Crazed Altereds, but here Haze is already an Altered, and with whatever he took, this could turn out to be quite a dangerous combination," Gary thought.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it appears that Haze was not happy with the verdict that was given right now and is attempting to take down Gary right here!" the commentator said.
Just as the commentator said those words, straight out of Haze"s mouth, sticky webs were shot out. Gary swiftly avoided each one of them, moving out of the way. The web substance hit the back of the cage and spread out like a web.
Gary, with his speed, continued to avoid all of the sticky web substances, but it looked like Haze was never going to run out as he continued to spit from his mouth. It covered the entire cage back wall.
Eventually, Gary"s foot was caught in one of the webs on the ground. He was stuck and tried to pull away. The webs stretched slightly, but they weren"t breaking.
"What are these things made of?" Gary thought, thinking back to how he was able to easily break spider webs as a kid by accident when running through trees and such. Now he felt like he was getting paid back a little for what he had done in the past.
Haze leapt in the air with his powerful new body. A giant object was coming toward him. Green bubbles started to form at the mouth, particularly around its two claw-like fangs.
"I don"t want to know what"s going to happen if he hits me with those," Gary said.
Transforming his fingertips, Gary"s nails elongated, and with a swipe, he cut through the web and rolled on the ground. A loud crash was heard behind him. Turning his head, he saw that the floor of the arena had been ripped apart.
The sharp legs had pierced the ground, along with the green foam that had melted part of the stage.
Haze"s coach by the side looked nervous when he saw this.
"What is going on? He wasn"t like this the last time he took the pill. Sure, he was a bit more wild, but this is completely different. Have the doses of the two pills made him this way? The strength he is producing and the skills... I"ve never seen Haze be able to do something like this before."
Many were shocked at the sight of this, and they started to realise that something serious was going on. The fighting cage was st.u.r.dy. It had to be because it needed to survive the strength of other Altereds fighting in it.
When top contenders fought, there were times when they would reinforce the ring, but this wasn"t one of them. They never expected anyone to be able to cause this much damage.
"What are the two refs doing? Why haven"t they gotten involved yet?" Clem shouted from the sides.
Many, including the commentators, were wondering the same thing. In this type of situation, they would have jumped in and subdued the contender. They were, after all, in the top fifty of the AFC, so surely they would have the power.
Yet the two of them were just standing side by side outside of the cage, as if they were continuing to watch the show.
"This is starting to look a little dangerous," Gullen commented with a nervous look on his face.
It was the first time for Gullen judging one of these events, so he decided to let all the decision making fall on his senior named Pinky. Pinky had his hands in his pants pockets while he continued to blow a large piece of pink bubble gum.
"We didn"t get to see enough before," Pinky replied. "Aren"t you interested in seeing just how strong this new guy is?" Pinky smiled.
Having been trapped in the strange sticky web and seeing the damage Haze was able to do, Gary could no longer take it easy.
"I didn"t want to transform... because this is being broadcasted. I"m sure the other Alpha is already aware of us... but things have gotten quite complicated."
