Chapter 565 A Dark Strength
[286/300 HP]
[968/1000 Energy]
Gary had already been hit by Midwak a couple of times, but thanks to his new Endurance, which had increased after his feast of Altered, as well as the Class Promotion, this attack hurt him far less than the ones before. On top of that, he had been able to heal the wounds, so the bleeding wouldn't cause more damage to him on the spot.
It looked like his new class allowed his healing abilities to work faster, and now they were no slower than Midwak's.
'It was a tough choice to make, but it seems to have been the right one.' Gary thought.
He had chosen what he considered to be best for the current situation. From the little information the Werewolf System had decided to share, one received a boost depending on how righteous his actions were. After having just killed a few Altered, he hadn't been feeling very righteous, not to mention his head was filled with the desire to get revenge for Kai by killing Midwak.
Meanwhile, the Dark Warrior claimed that he would get a particular boost during night time. Although it wasn't too late, the dark sky was already out. It also stated that it would grant strength, which was something he was lacking against Midwak. For one, the Class Promotion had increased his Energy from 300 to 500, and Gary had been more than happy to see that the current time was considered to be night time, making it so that his current Energy reserve had actually doubled to 1000!
Midwak leapt in the air with his hardened, elongated claws. They looked like blades sticking out of his hand, and tried to swipe it right through Gary's head. Seeing this, the Alpha Werewolf rolled to the side and the attack sliced right through the marble flooring with ease.
Before Gary could get up, with his other hand free, Midwak shot out the nails towards him again. Gary went to swipe at them with both hands, faring better this time as he managed to block most of them. As he was busy defending himself, though, Midwak appeared in front of the teenager, and threw a punch right across his face, swinging the whole of Gary's head to the side.
[-16 HP]
[270/300 HP]
Gary swung back, and made a light scratch on Midwak's chest, but using his toes, the Omega used the chance to kick the other's stomach. To his shock, Gary saw that even Midwak's toenails could elongate, stabbing right into his stomach.
[-20 HP]
[250/300 HP]
"This is fantastic!" Midwak called out. "You're a living anomaly. Never in the history of Werewolves should there have been an Alpha this weak! Someone above must be watching out for me, granting me this golden opportunity!"
Gary pulled the foot out from his stomach, and then went to kick Midwak right in the head with his heel. The back of his foot connected Midwak's the jaw. A loud bang was heard as it made impact. Gary was sure that it would hurt the Omega, since he had put all his speed and strength into it.
"That's it, Gary! Use your fighting skills to beat him!" Innu shouted from the side.
From the fight so far, they could tell, even though Gary was incredibly strong, even after his evolution, Midwak was still faster than him, and his attacks were more powerful. On top of that, his Werewolf body seemed to have a few more tricks up its sleeve, allowing him to do more things.
Midwak was slightly startled as he stumbled slightly onto his back foot, Gary didn't waste this chance and went in for the strike.
[Skill activated Claw Drain Lv. 2]

[910/1000 Energy]
Gary's fingernails became longer, not as much as Midwak's, but certainly an improvement over their previous length. They hit the Werewolf from the shoulder down, digging deep into his body, making him let out a growl. Gary could feel the flesh cutting as his hand moved down. With Midwak's hand, he soon had put a stop to it, as he held onto Gary's hand, and used all his might to push it back out the other way.
"You bastard!" Midwak shouted, as he kicked Gary right on the thigh, and kicked him again, in the stomach, creating distance between the two of them.
Gary slid across the floor, he was hurt, but noticed something else, his nails, they were still elongated, yet the next moment they disappeared.
[+15 HP]
[265/300 HP]
After healing up, his body was feeling better, but it wasn't enough to completely make up for the damage he had taken.
'The Claw Drain… it gave me more Health than it should have, and my nails were even longer, and it lasted longer, what is this?'
[Claw Drain (Level 2)]
[Once activated, half of the damage inflicted by the user will be used to recover Health.
The skill will take 30 points of Energy to use.]
The skill will last 5 seconds.]
Gary briefly went over the skill, noticing that it took more Energy, but also that the duration had increased. It would have been a problem before, but not with his current pool of Energy.
[While the night sky is out, the Dark Warrior gets a boost in its skills]
'The system, it said skills, not skill, which means.'
Midwak, was charging toward Gary once more with his hardened nails, they were stronger than his, but Gary was willing to risk it, as he ran forward.
[Skill activated Lethal Pounce Lv. 2]
[-50 Energy]
[860/100 Energy]
A sudden shift in his speed, as Gary had leapt to the side, away from Midwak, which confused the Werewolf for a second, but soon pushing off the floor, the Alpha's whole body slammed right into the Omega from the side.
The two large Werewolves skidded across the floor, and Gary was now firmly on top of Midwak. He lifted his hands and started to throw punches. Gary wanted to inflict as much damage as he could and didn't use his claw drain skill. Unfortunately, his opponent's thick muscles made it hard for him to get through, with the claws, so it was better for him to deal more damage with his fists.
Gary pounded Midwak from above, one hit after the other, and the marble floor beneath was breaking bit by bit. The entire room was shaking as they witnessed two large powers.
"That f*cking hurts!" Midwak shouted, and with his hardened claws he stabbed them right into Gary's side.
[-135 HP]
[A major wound has been inflicted]
[130/300 HP]
The pain hurt so much that Gary was unable to continue his beating.
"You're so focused on getting rid of me, do you think I pose no threat!" Midwak shouted as he twisted his hand producing more pain.
[-20 HP]
[110/300 HP]
Kicking off the floor, Gary managed to roll away, while holding onto his side, but that one wasn't healing as quickly as the others were, and he was sure Midwak would soon be on him again.
"Maybe in your next life, you can try and beat me." Midwak exclaimed.
'Is it not enough… eating all those Altered, and promoting my Class. Just what else do I need to do, to beat a real Werewolf?' Gary wondered.
