Chapter 560 Perfect Line Up
If Gary wanted to help out his teammates, then the best thing he could do for them was to take out all of the Altered in the room as soon as possible. Not to get distracted, or focused on what they were doing. He would have to trust that they were capable enough to hold Midwak back.
'Out of these four guys left, I need to get rid of the one that's the most troublesome.'
Gary's eyes looked onto the man with the stingers on his forearms, although Gary hadn't been hit yet, the stingers always were distracting him from getting to the others and he had the furthest range when it came to attacks.
Immediately after Gary had decided who would be his next target, he started to run towards him in his Werewolf form. His body was leaned forward at an incredibly low angle, his face nearly touching the floor. The muscles in his legs and toes were strong enough to lift his body just enough so his face wouldn't hit the floor and once in a while he would use his hands to dig into the ground, giving him a further leap of power.
Seeing this, the Altereds were moving into action. The strange yellow goo Altered saw Gary, and swung its arm, releasing a large amount of the substance out towards Gary. The Werewolf's hands dug deep into the ground cracking it. The veins on his forearms were bulging as he quickly pushed his whole body to the side, making it so the goo would just hit the floor and harden in a matter of seconds.
"Getting hit by that will slow down my movements, but it's covering his whole body, that's going to be a hard one to take care of.'
While Gary was thinking of this, he could see the Altered that was able to change the size of his limbs into what resembled a tree in front of him, he swung his arm and mid swing it turned into the large tree trunk like arm.
'They're working together better than they were before! I need to avoid this.' Gary thought.
Instinctively, Gary was just going with the flow, as he leaned completely backwards, and started to slide across the floor. He had built up so much speed, that on the hard marble floor he was pretty much gliding across it.
While the tree trunk limb was going over his head, he wouldn't just let it simply pass over like that, reaching out his hands, Gary had his claws ready, and he tensed his fingers hard as they scratched right across.
It broke through whatever material the Altered's skin was made of and black blood was dripping from the wound.
In a smooth motion, Gary pulled his body up off the ground and continued running forward. Now there was only one Altered in his way from reaching the strange stinger man.
"Fine, f*cking stab me then!" Gary lifted his forearms up, and in his full Werewolf form he was much larger than he was before. When the Altered's sharp limbs pierced Gary it had only pierced his forearms this time.
[-12 HP]
'In my Werewolf form, my hide is thicker as well so I take less damage, but that wasn't my goal in the first place.'
Due to Gary's speed, the sharp limbs were pierced quite deeply into his arms and muscles, and he had purposely relaxed them as much as he could before they had, now that they were inside him, he tensed up.
The muscles were holding onto the limbs tightly, and the Altered was unable to take them out from his body if he wanted to.
"Thanks for being my shield!" Gary said, as he could see the stingers coming towards him.
At that point, GAry moved his forearms and the stingers had hit the multiple-limbed man instead.
"Arghh!" The Altered shouted.
Taking a peek behind, Gary could see that the other Altered was in the air. He then leapt up with his strong powerful legs, still taking his 'Shield' with him.
Then, when the two had matched height, Gary relaxed the muscles in his forearms, and with both of his legs, kicked the Altered off from him. His sharp limbs detached from Gary's arms, and his entire body crashed into the stinger Altered.
While in mid air, Gary flipped backwards, landing on his feet and he didn't waste any time. As soon as his feet touched the floor, he darted forward to the other two Altereds once again.
Gary could see the stinger Altered recovering, and with a swipe of his hand, he had made a large cut right on his neck.
[8/11 Altereds have been defeated]
[Congratulations you are now level 26]
From killing the two Altereds, Gary was still gaining a large amount of exp. He still hadn't had time to look at his system properly yet, or use the stat points gained. At the same time, the bodies of the Altereds he had killed were still intact.
'If I can do this… if I can use everything, then I will be strong enough.'
Looking at all of the other Altereds that were left confused and a little disheartened at the sight of another one of their allies falling, Gary saw this as an opportunity. With the main distraction gone, then he could perhaps pull this off.
The Altered with multiple limbs had just gotten up, and almost in a line, just close enough to each other, he could see it.
Gary went towards the Altered closest to the one with the sharp limbs and when he was in range.
[Lethal pounce]
[- 30 Energy]
His speed doubled in the short distance and with his fist he stabbed right through the Altered's chest.
[9/11 Altereds have been defeated]
[Lethal pounce activated]
[-30 Energy]
The most dangerous thing about the lethal pounce skill, was the fact that as long as there was someone in range, Gary was able to use it consecutively, one after the other. The only downside was it would take a lot of energy, but in this place, around here with all of these Altereds, there was plenty of food for him.
The tree like Altered couldn't even react as Gary's whole body landed on top of him, and Gary used his mouth to bite down right on his neck, pulling out tendons and more, ending his life on the spot.
[10/11 Altereds have been defeated]
? [Skill: Lethal pounce has been used]
The Altereds now working together meant they were close to one another, and for Gary this allowed him to use the skill in rapid succession, lining them up so he could take them out.
Reaching the final Altered, Gary's hand was going through the goo and he could feel it hardening, but it did little to slow him down as his claws reached the stomach of the Altered. As it sliced through, organs could be seen spilling on the ground, and with his other hand, Gary slammed it on the top of the Altered's head, sending his entire head and body onto the ground.
It wasn't the end of the Altered yet, so lifting his foot, he slammed it down right on top of the Altered's head.
[11/11 Altereds have been defeated]
[Quest complete]
[You are now level 27]
[Quest update: a new threat has taken over the Scatterbugs place. Defeat the threat to get rid of the Scatterbugs.]
It was quite clear to Gary that the new threat was Midwak, but with his energy nearly being nothing, and his strength still far less than his opponent, he looked at the Altered underneath his foot and had another thought.
'It's feeding time.'
