Chapter 872 Don"t Look Back
Knowing full well what the others could be going through behind him, Kai knew he needed to take out Glutton as quickly as possible. Right now, he had transformed into his wolf form and was running circles around Glutton.
Glutton, in response, was spitting out large b.a.l.l.s of fire trying to hit Kai, but each one was missing him. Even before, Glutton was struggling to go against Kai’s speed; it was only with Greed’s help that they were able to get close hits to Kai, and now, Kai had the extra energy from the werewolves around him and was even faster than before.
Right then, Kai changed his course and headed straight for Glutton. The one thing that he noticed was Glutton had to eat something before he could fire out b.a.l.l.s of fire. So once in a while, he would stop firing out from his stomach and try to look for something to eat; this was his moment.
As he sprinted full force on all fours, he leapt up and started to transform into his wolf form, gathering his fist he punched hard right in the stomach. He pushed deep with his fist and twisted it more and more.
“Aarghh!” Glutton shouted in pain; part of vomit came out of his mouth as the vomit touched the floor it started to burn the insides slightly.
Glutton was lifted off his feet, and he fell cras.h.i.+ng to the floor. After a large amount of pain was felt, the whole of Glutton’s body was heating up, so Kai made a quick retreat as he went back to his Wolf form and started to run about again.
It took some time for Glutton to get up, and he found a car nearby that he started to eat on. He was moving slower than before that was clear. After Glutton finished eating part of the vehicle, he started to spit out fireb.a.l.l.s again and again.
‘This Altered has great elemental power and a great level of endurance but he’s been fighting for a while now,’ Kai thought as he continued to avoid the attacks one after the other. ‘The other problem with him that’s making this fight a lot easier than it should be, is his simple mind.’
‘He doesn’t know what to do! It would be a different story if someone was commanding him, or if he was support for the rest of the gang.’
Images flashed in Kai’s head. What if all of the Core Members had just attacked from the beginning, transforming into their Altered selves? The Howlers would have been ma.s.sacred. In a way, the carnage that Sin had tried to cause, on trying to take out the whole city and splitting up their forces, due to them being overconfident, was giving them a chance.
There and then, Kai went in again, and two for two, he was able to deliver another powerful blow right in the stomach. This time, Kai hit more so from underneath, so when Glutton’s body was. .h.i.t, he was lifted into the air.
This allowed him to perform a second kick, hitting him in the face before he crashed onto the ground now on his belly rather than on his back.
‘I have to finish this fast, I can’t hope that the others will be able to defeat Greed, only delay him, but that is good enough for now,’ Kai thought.
It was then as he was standing there, that Kai began to feel something odd, part of his energy, it was diminis.h.i.+ng. He could only think of one reason as to why this was happening.
‘The boost I got, it’s still there but it’s weakened. I don’t want to turn around and distract myself from what is happening; I have to trust the others, and I need to start taking risks as well!’ Kai thought.
One of the major issues with Glutton’s body was the fact that it was covered in flames; using his speed and extra strength, Kai was just taking part of the pain as he hit Glutton"s body.
Deciding that he needed to do more, quickly he went to one of the street lights, he cut it down with his claw at the base, and then started to cut the single street light into several different poles as well.
Jumping in the air, he could see that Glutton had finally turned over. Not wanting him to get up though, Kai hurled the metal pole as hard as he could and it pierced right through Glutton’s hand.
He did the same, throwing the poles one after the other, hitting him in his legs and more. The poles pierced through the flames and his skin, but they were melting away and it would only be a matter of time until he got up again.
Still having one of the poles in his hands, he fell towards the ground and landed on top of a vehicle, and then jumped up in the air once more. As he came tumbling down, Kai started to spin the body with the pole in his hand.
“If I want to finish you off, then what’s needed is a blow right to the head!” Kai screamed and howled at the top of his lungs.
The pole smashed right through Glutton’s head and cracked through the ground. Kai could feel his body burning up as his fur was touching the rest of the body, but the heat was starting to diminish.
When Kai looked at the head, it was mangled, the sight was unrecognizable and no longer could a person tell who they were.
“That’s one down… he had been fighting for a quite a while and Crowley managed to help me with it, but we finally managed to take one of their leaders down… we now need to go for another one,” Kai was huffing and panting.
Sure, he got an energy boost from the other Werewolves but it was an energy boost with an increase in strength; he still had been fighting for a while.
Just as Kai had moved from the body, that’s when he saw something leap right at him. Immediately Kai dodged and rolled on the ground. As a large figure, what looked like a beast, had jumped right over him.
It skidded across the ground and turned giving an almighty roar. Kai looked at what had just gone past him and he could see it was something resembling a lion, but had a ring of fire around his neck.
The lion flame beast started to transform back into what looked like a human. There was next to no clothes on the man apart from his long red trousers; oddly the fur around his neck was still present, and it was still burning right under his face.
It was an odd sight to see, that anyone would imagine was quite painful.
“Another one… has joined… now,” Kai commented. He could tell at a glance this one was strong.
Not only that, but Greed had also noticed the newcomer who had arrived.
“They took out Glutton, but now Garbo is here, he’s a bit more reliable; I won’t have to worry about him.”
