Chapter 1160: Workign Together, Altered Hunters
Out of all of the Altered squads that were meant to gather, Roman's squad was considered the smallest. This was due to what had occurred before they had reached this point. Originally, Blake and Innu weren't a part of Roman's squad, but in the tough battles against the Lupus Gang, many members were lost, and he was the only one left.
Which was why the two had joined up with him. Equally, they were meant to meet the other squads here today, and if they had, they would have been a strong team of fifteen, being able to play off each other's strengths and weaknesses, using various items to combat against them.
Now, though, there were only three, and they weren't being surrounded by a group of Altered; they were being surrounded by a pack of fierce and fast, hungry Werewolves.
"We have no choice but to run!" Roman shouted as he pulled a small circular object off from his chest and threw it straight to the ground. It exploded, creating a veil of smoke around the three of them.
With their masks, they could see just fine, and Blake was the first to start to run ahead with the sword by his side.
'This won't do, this damned smokescreen won't do!' Blake said. 'The Werewolves are going to use their sense of smell to get through this situation.'
As Blake expected, through his special mask, he could see one of the Werewolves jump right towards them. He lifted his sword, clashing against their heavy claws. His muscles bulged as he was moved back slightly and was able to swing his arms to deflect the claws to the side.
He quickly, with three several prods from his hand, struck the werewolf's back, electrifying the body as they continued to run. All three of them had gotten out of the smoke, and they could see the fast Werewolves were right on their tail.
"Damn, that was useless!" Roman shouted. Although they had been fighting Werewolves for some time, it was the first time Roman was dealing with a pack in a situation like this and was on the back foot. He was hoping the smokescreen would at least help them a little.
With Blake running forward, another Werewolf had jumped from its side with its claws ready. Blake skimmed the swords above him to lift the Werewolf over his body and flung him right into the glass of one of the shops.
Immediately, though, the Werewolf had gotten back up and leaped right at Blake. It was a clash of swords versus claws as the two were in a quick skirmish, but the situation was still getting bad, as another was right behind him.
Blake could see it from the corner of his eye, another clawed beast coming right at him.
'Do I take a hit? This armor, they said it's sturdy, right? Although I'm not sure that this is the right time to test this thing right now.'
A flying object from the corner of his eye was seen flying, red in color. The Werewolf themselves weren't even prepared for it as it lodged deep in the Werewolf's stomach.
"Arghhh!" Innu screamed as he rushed forward and pulled out his axe from the Werewolf's stomach. Just moments ago, he had thrown it, activating its Qi, allowing for the weapon to pierce the deep hide.
The moment Innu pulled out the weapon, he spun his body, only just reaching and kicking the Werewolf in the face. Right after, he jumped up, kneeing the Werewolf in the face. All of them were heavy hits, all of them filled with the power of Qi that had been taught to them.
The Werewolf's head dropped down, and quickly climbing on top of its shoulders, Innu kicked off from the Werewolf's body. He could see another one in the distance coming towards him from the right. The white axe in his hand, he hurled it across the room, and it landed right in the Werewolf's chest, stopping it right in its path, causing it to fall to the floor.
After, the axe started to move on its own, wiggling out from the body, and had come back, landing right back in Innu's hands. The moment it returned to Innu's hands, he could feel a strange energizing feeling throughout his whole body.
'This axe… it must really be special. I can feel my energy returning to me? Did it just zap the energy from the Werewolf? If that's the case, then I can keep on using my Qi with this thing. I'm not as limited as I was before,' Innu thought.
"I thought you were going to keep your damned powers secret forever," Blake commented.
"In a life-or-death situation, that would be pretty stupid of me, come on, let's keep going forward!"
Roman had done just enough to get some of the Werewolves off their backs, using various Anti-Altered weapons and his own powers. After seeing how he was able to take out Werewolves with relative ease with his weapon, they were more hesitant to just jump in.
He turned around to keep running forward, as it was useless if the other two couldn't clear somewhat of a path for them to keep moving, and he was surprised seeing just what it was that Innu was able to do.
Quickly, he ran beside the two of them. "It seems you two are more skillful than I thought, and you had been hiding some things from me," Roman commented. "But it doesn't matter, let's keep going."
The three of them fighting together continued to go through the shopping mall. It was tiring, but using everything they had, continuing to push forward, they had made it to the sixth floor.
"Where are we heading!" Innu asked. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
"The cinema, it was left in screen 4 in the cinema. With that, we can get… out of here," Roman slowed down.
In the large ticket area of the cinema, with cardboard cutouts of the latest films, the popcorn and refreshment purchasing area, there was a werewolf, large in size, with black fur, wearing armor on its body.
"The Ironfang is here… and not in the garden?" Roman commented.
