"Gary…" were the words that softly came out from Xin’s lips. As she heard him shout those words, memories of her brother flooded into her head, each time he had helped her out in a tough situation. Not only her brother, but when her brother and Gary were together. The time the two had saved her from the situation she had found herself in. The relationship the two of them had, which had started to strangely form for the both of them. "Gary… Gary!" Xin said, as she wiped the tears with her sleeve and shouted at the top of her lungs. "YOU HAVE TO BEAT HIM NOW! BEAT HIM!" Xin screamed from the railings. With Gary facing head-to-head with Harvor, his sharp teeth were seen slightly raising from the side of his mouth. ’I never planned on losing!’ [Skill activated: Smoke Veil] Throughout the fight, constant black smoke was drifting off from Gary’s back, constantly following him wherever he went, leaving a trail. After activating this skill, smoke poured out from the side of his body and the side of his mouth. It lingered in the air, covering it entirely in a black smog. It continued deeply, until it had covered the area in front of Harvor and the area behind the others who were fighting against the strange golden arms. From the outside, now the others could only see a big black smog cloud covering their vision and had no idea what was taking place inside. [-5HP] [-5HP] Find your next adventure on freewebnovel.com [Your current form is hurting you more than expected] [Your HP is deteriorating at a faster-than-expected rate] The numbers kept on appearing for Gary in the middle of his fight, to the point where he had no choice but to just ignore the numbers—and he had good reason to. Although his HP wasn’t dropping at -5HP every thirty seconds like it initially was meant to, due to the night sky being out, along with the form’s added benefits, Gary had a lot of HP still left in him. [792/1500 HP] ’The other issue is, even if I could last as long as the system thinks I can… because this is seriously hurting. Is it because this transformation is forced that this is happening?’ Gary wondered. ’Regardless, what I need to do is finish this fight.’ Harvor was standing in the center of the smoke. He had retracted his golden hands, and instead, the energy was wrapped around his fists. As he carefully turned his head, trying to find Gary, he said, "What is this? You have resorted to every trick in the book rather than fight me directly?" Harvor asked. "Now obscuring my vision. It’s useless!" Harvor threw out his golden energized fist in the smoke. It pushed it away to the side, a powerful blast hitting part of the stadium roofing that was still there, destroying it instantly. However, the black smoke quickly just reformed and moved back into place. "You said that Jayden could beat me. We both know that’s ridiculous… look at how far, how many people you have had to bring to take me down. I have the power to take over entire countries, and everyone will realize that power is the number one thing that matters." "Strength—there’s a reason why I was born into this world, there’s a reason why the Altered project only worked on me!" Out through the smoke at that moment, jumping through, a large-sized wolf could be seen aiming right for Harvor. Its teeth bit onto his arm and locked down on his hard scales. When Harvor went to throw his arm to fling the wolf off, the teeth had already detached from Harvor’s arm, and the wolf had gone back into the dark smoke. "That wasn’t Gary… that was that damned friend of his! Now even they are trying to take me as a fool!" "You’re an idiot!" a voice said through the smoke. The change of tone—Harvor could tell it was coming from the blonde-haired friend of Gary. "You think just being a leader means you’re the strongest?" Kai said. "You should know that winning is all that matters, right? If we deal with you today, together—even if Gary did it with the help of everyone—what does it matter that you had all that power?" "I think there was someone by your side who knew that!" Harvor couldn’t detect where the voice was coming from, as it was from multiple areas, and then, out from the back, the giant wolf bit onto Harvor’s leg again. Right at his ankle, this time, Kai’s teeth managed to pierce it slightly, but once again, he vanished quickly into the smoke. In the thick smoke, it was impossible for anyone to see, but it was as if this smoke was specifically designed for Werewolves, as there was one sense it wasn’t blocking out: it was smell. With the strong sense of smell of a Werewolf’s nose, it allowed Kai to track him from wherever he was. "Gary has a special power to make those around him want to see him succeed. Everyone gathered around him wants to push him up, and even if he is the underdog in certain situations, or if it all seems impossible, it makes them think… that he can still pull through no matter the situation!" It was strange listening to Kai’s words; they all remembered a situation where they felt the same way. It was true for Ice. No one had escaped the prison before, and their chances were slim, so why did he choose to go with him when no one else could convince him? Why, when no one else could help Xin with the situation with her brother, did she think the best person to go to was Gary? Even Chen from the White Rose. His evaluation of the whole situation, when not even knowing Gary had this form, ran them again and again, and it was a loss on their end. Harvor was just too strong. So why was it, when Gary was on the back foot, he had jumped in and gone against everything he believed in? What was it about this individual? Jumping out of the smoke, Harvor was ready this time, but instead of seeing a large giant wolf, it was a wolf covered in black smoke, almost blending in with the smoke apart from the red lines of energy surrounding his body. It was Gary. ’I won’t…. I won’t…’ Gary knocked both of Harvor’s hands out of the way and dug his claws right into Harvor’s shoulders. Opening his mouth wide, his teeth could be seen heating up. ’I won’t let any of them regret putting their faith in ME!’ [Skill: Combustion Bite] Gary’s teeth sunk right into Harvor’s neck, and his body, along with Harvor’s, both exploded into flames. **** For updates for MWS and future works, please follow me on my social media below.
