My Werewolf System
chapter-752

A new quest had landed in front of Gary during a difficult time, but not only that but it was the first of its kind he had ever received before. A temporary skill was in his possession, it was somewhat giving him a taste of his powers.

Looking around him, he knew the voice had come from Kai, and he could see Olivia by his side as well. With all of them, it was most likely that they could take down this new strike force, but was it worth it?

‘In situations like this, I have to trust that Kai is the one with a much calmer head on his shoulders!’ Gary thought.

One of the retrievers was going for Olivia, and she seemed to be struggling a bit, running in close, Gary activated his skill.

[Lethal pounce]

He jumped to the side avoiding one of the other retrievers and then landed, jumping right on one of them before they rushed to attack another.

“All of you!” Gary shouted. “Listen to what he said, get out of here now, and I’ll hold the rest of them back.”

Olivia had only arrived, and she was quite frustrated she had been toyed with a couple of times by the retriever that was in front of her. Without using her weapon or her transformation, of course they got the upper hand.

“If I ever see them again, I’ll rip their head off!” Olivia snarled, and started to run towards the exit.

“They're trying to escape!” Kon shouted. “Don’t let them!”

‘We're trying to escape!’ Olivia thought, looking behind her. ‘These guys are idiots. They have no idea that we're the ones letting them live!’

She was in her right mind to just turn around and transform there and then taking at least one of them out, but could see Kai was keeping an eye on them all from the door.

Still, that didn’t stop the fact that one of the retrievers had flown right past Gary, not caring about the one that he had pinned down, and was heading straight for Olivia. Wanting to do something, his grip loosened and the retriever had flown out of his grasp.

It seemed like nothing was going right for the Howlers at the moment. The retriever was on her, until from the side, with an explosive power, Austin, fully transformed, bashed into the retriever with his shoulder.

It sent the Altered flying and breaking right through the tables and knocking down some of the gang members on the side with it.

Immediately, Austin’s transformation started to end and revert back to normal. He was exhausted, he had already been fighting for a long time, and had received a beating from the entire group. He had used up the last of his energy there and then.

“That’s twice that you’ve tried to help me in a pinch.” Olivia said, as she rushed over and allowed for Austin to lean on her shoulder. “Let’s follow the bosses orders for now.”

Austin accepted the help, but looked back at Gary. He wanted to help him, but now he was trying to do this on his own. This was his mess and once again Gary was the one getting them out of It.

“He’s a good boss.” Austin stated.

“Why do you think I haven’t betrayed you guys yet.” Olivia smiled back

Just like all the times before, no matter how many times the retrievers were hit, clawed, or beaten they seemed to get up, ready to fight again.

“You're running after putting up such a strong fight?” Kon said. “What’s wrong, you don’t want any of your friends to get hurt?”

“That's right.” Gary answered. “We got the people we needed, we did what we needed to do, so it’s time for us to leave. If you continue to try and stop us, you’ll regret it.”

Gary was waiting for the right chance to use his new move, because there was a large energy cost in using it.

[- 50 energy]

He wasn’t quite sure what it did, but even with the night sky out and how many skills he already had used, he still had to be careful.

While Kon and the other retrievers were floating around Gary waiting for the perfect chance to attack, Elijah was the only person that had stayed close to him, and he had spotted something.

‘Is that the infected Altered solution!’ Elijah thought.

He could see a suitcase on the floor, opened up. There was only one syringe inside, as the other looked like it had been used, but it must have been dropped at some point in the fight.

Everyone was too focused on what was happening to care.

‘If I get my hands on that, maybe we can start building a case from there?’

Elijah decided to make a dash for it while everyone was focused, he ran forward until he could see a hand reaching for it. It was none other than the leader of the Scavenger's, Nox.

“Oh no you don’t, that suitcase is mine!” Elijah threw his leg forward, and mid swing it started to transform, encasing itself in grey rock. It hit Nox, straight in the head, and the impact felt like he had been whacked with a metal bat.

His head was flung back and his eyeballs were rolling towards the back of his skull before he fell to the ground.

“Alright, now it’s time to get out of here.” Elijah picked up the suitcase and was ready to run, that was until he could see another retriever coming towards him.

“You b*stard’s using the same technique over and over!” Gary shouted.

Elijah was too far, though, for him to reach, and Elijah with the case in his hand was going to be too slow to react.

‘Alright new skill, show me what you got!’

[Claw swipe]

Gary activated the skill, swinging his hand in the air, making a swipe, and out from his clawed hand a condensed visible energy was seen going through the air. Markings just like that of his claws went through the air.

It looked like a giant hand had created the marking based on its size, it went out fast and hit the retriever right in the back. The marking sliced through its wings and a deep wound cut into its body. Blood was pouring from the back, and caused the retriever to fall down. It didn’t look like it was getting up from this injury.
