Chapter 886 The living Anti Altered Weapon
The Unicorn was, of course, a mythical beast that Gary had heard of. Just like the tales of Werewolves, these were also talked about to children. However, there was a large difference in how both of these tales were told.
Unicorns were seen as a beautiful, elegant creature with magical powers. They weren’t often what one would imagine when thinking of a strong, powerful being. Whereas Werewolves were mostly seen as vicious creatures that had great strength and power.
‘I have to be on my guard still though. Mythical creatures are mythical because we learned that these fairy tale stories came from somewhere, and they came from the beasts of the past that used to roam on Earth.’
‘Beasts that were so strong that their stories were still passed on to this day. I have to be cautious and not think of the image in my head, they could be able to do anything.’
Gary readied himself, standing in front of the other two with his arms split apart. Fur was starting to grow on both of them and thickening as he used his partial transformation.
At the same time, he wasn’t the only one not playing games; the Warden was also transforming from the start. She lifted her hand and threw the beret hat onto the floor, and from her forehead, a spiraling horn started to grow.
The horn itself was covered with a thick twirling groove that could be visible; it continued to extend until it was around thirty centimeters out of her head and it stopped.
It was the only physical change they could see about the Warden, the horn and nothing else. She looked hardly more frightening than when she was before, but just like Gary, she stood there with her arms open and a smile on her face, showing an enormous amount of confidence.
“Come on then,” the Warden said. “Remember it’s you guys that are looking to break out of here, you need to get through me, not I get through you.”
“Fine, and I will get rid of anyone getting in my way!” Gary kicked off from his position, destroying the hardened concrete floor beneath him. His newfound power after absorbing the others had grown a considerable amount, whether it was enough for the Warden or not he was unsure, but he wasn’t going to take any chances.
The moment he landed right in front of the Warden, he could see her ready to swing right at him, but Gary was fully aware of this.
[Lethal Pounce Level 2]
The moment Gary’s feet touched the ground, he used one of his strongest skills, but one that used up a large amount of energy. He disappeared right in front of the Warden’s eyes, zapping away.
‘He’s fast… he’s really fast!’ The Warden’s eyes widened. The easy task that she thought this was going to be, it wasn’t going to be the case at all.
Right after Gary’s feet touched the ground again, his body moved at an incredibly fast speed and crashed right into the Warden. Her body was flung, and a loud bang followed.
Gary was the only person that could be seen right where the Warden was. When the others turned their heads, they could see a large part of the wall destroyed and the Warden covered in rubble.
“He’s strong,” Ice commented, placing his ice club over his shoulder. He was ready to join the fight but hadn’t even gotten the chance to. “The speed he’s moving at, and the strength of the hit, I think he’s stronger than when he fought against me.”
Ice wasn’t wrong with his evaluation either, because Gary did have a strong boost from all the Altered he had eaten.
“You’re right, but do you really think that I couldn’t take care of someone like that?” Blackjack replied, still on guard.
Gary didn’t let up; after turning his head, he could see the direction that the Warden was hit in, and he swung both of his arms, letting out two Claw Strkes through the air.
[Claw Strike level 1]
The attack crashed right where the Warden was, part of it slicing through the concrete walls. Seeing what they had done to the walls, the prisoners and guards that were watching were worried for the Warden.
“Get ready,” Blackjack said.
He could see through the dust, a slight glow. When the dust started to settle, they could now tell that the glow was coming from the horn on the Warden’s head.
She stood up from the ground and started to wipe some of the grey dust from her clothes. While standing there, Gary and the others could see it, the large cut across her chest, her broken bones on the side.
The horn was glowing, and all of it was healing right in front of their eyes. Her body was back in tip-top shape apart from the large claw marks on her uniform.
“If you wanted to undress me, then there were easier ways to do such a thing,” the Warden replied.
The glowing horn didn’t stop glowing there, and soon sparks started to appear from the horn itself. Sparks that were blue in color.
From the horn, the sparks grew and then hit the entirety of the Warden’s body. The bright light had startled them all.
“Now… is the real fight,” Blackjack said. “We all will need to do our best to survive. I’m sure you guys have known that a lot of the Anti Altered equipment that is used has electricity running through them.
“Because it’s been found that these types of attacks are most effective against Altered transformations. Well, the reason for their existence, and why we know about that today, is all thanks to the person in front of you right now.”
“The one known as the Warden is the most deadly Anti Altered weapon that exists!”
