Chapter 539: The Leader Of The Howlers

The three students from the AFA had decided to get a check up as well. It looked like the doctors already knew that they were altered while treating them, and they assumed that this had to be a hospital that the Howlers had been dealing with.

It was common for gangs to have relationships with hospitals because a lot of their members would end up coming there. The one that was giving the doctors direction and had informed everyone of everything was Olivia.

Kai, Marie and Olivia, were the three that knew about the Howlers' businesses the most, and with Olivia having handled a reasonably large gang herself in the past, Kai had always asked her opinion on things, which was why she was taking over now.

At first she thought it was quite a pain, their leader was off at the AFA, while the two of them were practically running the gang. It was a strange set up, to say the least, but maybe it was the werewolf part of her… lately she had been finding it harder and harder for her to hate Gary in his position.

Izzy had just finished having a checkup and bandages had been wrapped around her shoulder after it had been disinfected and it looked like the doctor had a few words to say to her before leaving.

"You're an altered, so it's expected that your recovery is quite fast. There is no need for you to stay at the hospital." The doctor explained. "However, as you might have noticed yourself, for some reason the direct wounds on your shoulders are struggling to heal. They are healing, just at a slow rate.

"Although I hardly get the chance to treat altereds, from the data we do have shared across hospitals, it is a little unusual, but I would say it's nothing to worry about. Just if the problem persists I would get it checked, perhaps by the medical staff at the AFA, it is more likely that they have a better understanding of what is going on."

Izzy wasn't particularly concerned about her wounds so much. Her body felt fine, a little weak, but it was expected after being involved in a fight for her life. At the moment, she just wanted to know how everyone else was.

When leaving the room, Izzy could see that in the seats there were two others that had been waiting for her, Ian and Numba. Ian's head was on Numba's shoulder, it looked like he was patiently sleeping away with dribble running down the side of his mouth onto Numba.

It was safe to say that she didn't need to ask if Ian was okay, as he was back to his usual self already, but Numba didn't look the same, because he was just looking dead straight ahead, not even looking at Izzy and not noticing the pool of spit that had built up on his shoulder.

? Eventually, the two of them made eye contact.

"Hey… you still have bandages on you. I thought you would have been healed by now." Numba commented. eno.

"It's okay, it's just a precaution." Izzy replied. "What about Gary… have you gone to see him yet, or talked about what he's going to do? I'm not sure about the relationship between him and the Kai person, but the two of them seemed to be pretty close."

For the three at the AFA, they were always classified as different at their schools, to the point where they didn't make many friends. It was safe to say that Izzy, Ian and Numba, along with Gary, were the closest friends they had.

It was to the point where they had almost forgotten that he had a life outside of the academy. It looked like Gary didn't just work for the gang, but he was a big part of them. It reminded Numba of himself, because it was the same for him.

Hearing Izzy's question, Numba started to think back to a call he had not long ago with his father. He had updated his father on the situation, how the one with a fox-like mask and grey fur had been attacked quite badly, and seeing the note it was certainly an attack from the Scatterbugs.

"I imagined that the Scatterbugs would have acted but I thought they would have sent a full force to deal with the Howlers. That young one was a talented member of the Howlers gang and he had a good head on his shoulders." Harry stated.

"If I was to guess, an attack will eventually come. They have weakened the Howlers quite a bit with this one move, and weakened their confidence. I'm sorry to hear about the situation you have been put in… I will leave the decision of what you wish for you and your friends to do in your hands."

Numba thought about it for a while, he was hesitant, an attack from a single person… Was this something that the Howlers could survive, and what about Gary? Surely he would stay to protect his hometown, there was no convincing him to come back to the AFA for safety.

"I can tell your hesitating." Harry added. "But let me tell you one thing. This attack, it was most likely more of an assassination attempt on the leader of the group. That Kai fellow had made the biggest scene, it was almost as if he wanted them to believe that he was the leader of the group.

"I have a feeling that the boy also predicted that this would occur as well, but remember, the Howlers still have a leader. Someone that all of those strong people we met, including Kai, choose to follow. There has to be a reason for it."

It was the one thing, the Howlers were a strong group, they didn't just have Kai, so it always made Numba wonder where was the Howlers' leader? At a time like this, when one of his members was in the hospital, why hasn't he made an appearance, or decided to do anything?

If his leader was this type of person, then Numba didn't have much hope in the group after all.

When the three walked back to the main reception area of the hospital, the automatic doors had opened, and a group of people had entered. The three of them had paused because they had recognised the gold and black uniforms, and although they hadn't seen their faces, they did somewhat recognise the body shapes of the others.

Innu, Marie, Tyler, and Austin had entered the hospital. Every single one of them with a serious look on their face.

"Those guys… they must be the ones that wore the masks and were with us at the factory right… it has to be them." Ian said.

Out of all of these here though, there was still no sight of the Howlers' leader, which was just making Numba even more infuriated.

    Hope it's not too late Austin can be badly hurt but he should not die. His altered form is really impressive and his strength may be even greater than Gary. Kai also has left for scatterbugs so there will be something interesting in the plot. Gary needs to evolve as soon as possible may be giving him a new class or different skills to kill or overpower midwak

    Chapter 560:

    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.

    [HP: -12]

    - In my Werewolf form, my hide is thicker as well so 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 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 activated]

    [Energy: -30]


    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]

    [Energy: -30]


    The most dangerous thing about the Deadly Leap Skill was the fact that as long as someone was within range, Gary could use it consistently. 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]

    [Lethal pounce activated]

    [Energy: -30]


    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.

    Chapter 559:

    Stubborn was one word that could be used to describe Olivia, and in this situation it was questionable whether it was a good trait to have. The moment she recovered from the initial clash with Midwak, she ran across the floor to reach him.

    Midwak tilted his head to the side as he saw her actions.

    - You're as much a pup as the gray wolf and yet he was stronger than this. Tell me what makes you think you could beat me?

    When Olivia was finally close, she had taken one large leap, and was swinging her hand right toward Midwak's chest. The first swipe of her hand had missed, as he leaned back. Right after, Olivia swung her other hand, trying to pierce through his chest.

    It looked like, just like the attack before, he would dodge this one as well.

    - NOW! - Innu shouted, who had waited for this moment. Immediately after, three clicks were heard, and coming out in the air, were three bolts.

    They hit Midwak in the back, piercing through his skin ever so slightly. The bolts were thick in size and had a small little container inside which looked like a large see-through battery.

    Inside the small container, there were blue sparks that were moving about, and as the weapon's bolts were activated, they started to do their job, shocking the Omega Werewolf over. His skin was becoming slightly transparent as the current ran through his body.

    Innu hadn't joined in the fight, both axes hand, as he was staying close to Marie, just in case they chose to target her. So far, Midwak and Olivia had been too fast for Marie to be of any help.

    She was a good aim and a good shot, but hadn't been into many fights to get the timing, the right moment for attack down, which was why Innu was watching the fight carefully for the perfect time.

    The bolts, while not lethal, served as a good distraction as Olivia left a large scratch mark right across Midwak's chest. Blood dripped down onto his abs, but it was hard to see since his body was already covered in blood.

    At the same time though, nearly as quickly as the wound had been made, it was already starting to heal.

    - That's some nice shock treatment. - Midwak said, as he ducked under the strikes of Olivia, and then with his Werewolf hand, he reached out and grabbed her around the mouth.

    With his great strength, he just needed to use the power of his fingers to keep it shut.

    Right after, making a fist, Midwak threw it, hitting the side of her face, pounding it hard. Olivia wanted to scream, to howl, as the hit had felt like it had broken multiple bonds, but Midwak hadn't let go, and continued to punch her while holding onto her mouth.

    - Haha, I can't wait. - Midwak said as he continued to punch.

    - Until, you are under my control. Depenfing on how long you last I might ley you become my Luna!

    By now, even though Olivia was in her full Werewolf form, part of her jaw, the side of her orbital bone, it all felt like it had cracked and was broken. She recoiled from him, but with the constant hits, there was no point.

    Swinging his arm back even further, it looked like Midwak was going for even harder punches. As he swung it straight towards her face once more, a large hand, even bigger than his own in its partially transformed state, had grabbed onto his fist and stopped it in its tracks.

    - How about you pick on someone your own size, asshole!

    Austin grabbed onto his hand tightly and pulled Midwak forward, as he did, he threw out a fist hitting him right in the head. It flung backwards and blood had spattered out.

    Midwak, swinging his head forward, looked at Austin with a smile, it looked like he wanted to say something but before he even could, he felt another hand lift him by his legs.

    With all of his force, Austin lifted him in the air up high, and slammed him on the floor, leaving behind a large crater.

    The marble was broken into pieces. Austin lifted up the Werewolf, slamming him down again and again. Bones could be heard cracking and Midwak's arms and legs were in positions that weren't natural at all.

    Jumping up in the air slightly, Austin then. placed the whole of Midwak's body behind his back, and swung it down, letting go, throwing him right into floor. It almost shook the whole room and the entire casino at that point.

    Austin was huffing and panting, and a lot of steam looked to be coming out from his nostrils. Although the mask hid most of his face, part of it could be seen transformed. Right now, Austin was in his full form.

    The beast that created his Altered form was a rare one, one that had a humanoid body in the first place, which was why it was hard to tell whether Austin had fully transformed or not.

    - Man, every time I see him fight in that form, it just makes me... more jealous. If only I had won, that would have been me. - Innu couldn't help but say.

    Moments later though, when the dust started to settle, several clicking and cracking noises were heard, and a figure was seen standing.

    - Now, you certainly are a strong one, but it's truly a shame that you are an Altered! - Midwak stated, as he walked forward towards Austin who was ready for another round.

    - Believe it or not, but I wasn't planning to kill any of you Howlers, because you all would make great additions to my Pack! - Midwak stated.

    - There's a reason I didn't care about the members of the Scatterbugs... and that's because they were already Altered.

    - A Werewolf can't turn an Altered, which means to me…

    In front of their eyes, Midwak started to transform, his fur was dark black in colour, and he grew nearly twice in size, his muscles and width included. Now he was only a little smaller than Austin himself.

    - You're only useful as a meal! - Midwak growled as he threw out a punch, coming from down below.

    It was at such a great speed it looked like the wind was being carried with it.

    Austin lifted his hands, but they were blown away as the fist hit him right in the stomach. His whole body was lifted off the ground and he was sent flying into the wall far away.

    - I hope for your own sake that he's the only Altered! - Midwak stated with a smile showing all of his sharp teeth.
