Chapter 748 Crashing into the Phantom Brawl
Crashing into the middle of the scene, Gary was enraged as soon as he saw Austin being beaten to a pulp. Who were they going up against, who was it that were attacking him, none of this mattered to Gary. The only thing that mattered was that his friend was being hit and he needed to do something to help him.
His legs were boosted with a transformation and as soon as he got close, he used the lethal pounce move, crushing one of the Retrievers head into the ground.
[The night sky is out]
[The effect of the Dark Warrior Class has been activated]
[Energy is doubled]
[All skills have been increased by 1 level]
It was the perfect time for Gary not to reserve his energy either.
‘Crap, crap, crap!’ Elijah thought as he had rushed in just before Gray. The two of them were wearing masks covering their faces, but this was not the plan he had in mind. They needed to see what was going on first, and if NIRV were behind it, to see if they had arrived, or if there was anyone on the inside.
“Are you okay, Bull?” Gary said, not wanting to give away the name of his team member.
“Haha, no.” Austin replied with a smile, his face transforming back to that of a human, but his large size was still there as he was partially transformed. “I said that I would do this on my own, and now that you're here, I’m going to have to share a little.”
The onlookers had decided to take a step back, hugging the wall closer than they did before. The situation was getting crazier by the “Do this on your own, it looks like to me you were getting your arse kicked.” Gary joked.
The onlookers had decided to take a step back, hugging the wall closer than they did before. The situation was getting crazier by the second, they didn’t even know who was fighting any more, or why they were fighting.
Gary had gone to check on Austin staying by his side, what he didn’t expect was the person's head that he had just smashed in, to get up and suddenly start flying about. She quickly went to regroup with the rest of the Strike force which was no longer in the air.
A large strike had hit Vlad in the stomach that sent him tumbling to the other’s location as well.
“She didn’t die from your attack?” Austin said.
Gary was gritting his teeth, because if he had been paying attention he should have known that as well. For one, his system hadn’t come up with anything for him having beaten the Altered.
Usually there would be some type of exp, and there was something else, when he had entered the room, a quest had popped up.
[A group of powerful Altered have appeared]
[When together they are stronger than they seem.]
[Defeat all five of the Altered known as the Strike Force]
One of the things Gary would use to somewhat gauge whether his enemies were strong was the system. He had come out to the city to find a way to grow stronger hoping the system would give him quests and now it had done so.
It wouldn't have been so easy if he could just beat a person in one hit.
“Leriisa, is everything okay?” Kon asked.
She tilted her head, cracking it to the side, and scratched her face a bit.
“That guy, I didn’t see him, he’s really fast and really strong. This has just gotten a bit more difficult. Now it makes sense why they called a rank B team like us in.”
Elijah had slid in with the mask on his face joining up with the others, and stood in front of them all.
“Who… is this guy, a new member?” Austin asked.
“I’m not a member!” Elijkah quickly said. “I’m just a mysterious helper for now.”
Austin was starting to think this city truly attracted strange people, who for one reason or another loved to wear disguises.
“Look, this isn’t good, the people in front of us are the infamous Strike force.” Elijah explained. “It looks like NIRV are really behind this after all.”
Elijah didn’t say anymore after that to not give away his identity, but there were times where the White Rose were meant to deal with cases, but the Strike force had already dealt with it, and with NIRV’s pressure they were told to back down from the case.
From what Elijah knew, a squad of the White Rose had gotten into a scuffle with the Strike force at one point, and it wasn’t a pretty sight for the White Rose. It had put them somewhat in their place, and was one of the reasons the White Rose and NIRV tried to stay away from each other.
“I see, now with the numbers evened out, you think you can take us-”
Kon was interrupted in the middle of his speech, because rushing forward with his wings flapping was Vlad. Heading straight for the five.
‘That guy.’ Elijah noticed. ‘His wings, the mist coming off his body.’
“Is that kid infected?” Elijah asked.
“That’s not what’s important right now, we need to protect him, I promised… I promised I would!” Austin said, already charging forward but it would be impossible to catch up at this rate.
“I understand.” Gary said, rushing straight ahead.
‘Did Gary get faster? And not just a little faster either.’ Austin thought.
[Lethal pounce level 2]
A sudden jump to his right side, and then the second jump was right at his target. It put him right in front of Vlad, who was about to be struck by two of the retrievers. With his hands, he knocked two of them away.
“You're annoying!” Kon shouted, throwing a punch out right into his stomach, a strong hit.
[-25 Hp]
[275 HP]
“You're going to have to hit me a lot more to take me out!” Gary said, as he jumped up and threw both of his legs out kicking Kon and sending him off in the distance. “And I hit harder than you.”
The other retrievers were on him, but Austin had tackled one of them at full speed knocking it out of the way, and Elijah’s hand had transformed into a strange rocky grey substance, stopping the hit in its tracks.
Gary got up straight off the floor, as there were still Retrievers that were fighting, one had gone to hit Vlad, and landed a hit but before they could throw a punch again, Gary had grabbed their hand.
His own had transformed into a claw.
[Claw drain]
Swiping it across the chest of the Retriever, it tore through its clothing and through its hard black casing, blood dripping from their chest.
[+4 HP]
Seeing Gary holding onto their friend, another punched Gary in the side of the face.
[-12Hp]
But the hit wasn't as hard as their leader's.
“Hold on!” Gary said, as he lifted one of the retrievers' body, and swung it, hitting it into the other, causing them both to crash into each other.
Everyone was stunned watching the sight, and even Vere could believe her own eyes.
‘Who is that guy… he’s taking on three of them at once.’
