Chapter 753 Leaving the city Even though the attack had come out from his own hands, Gary was left staring at it. He couldn't believe what had just happened; the attack he had just used was unlike any of the other attacks he had before. ‘This... What was that? It's almost like one of those powers that the different Altered have.’ Gary thought. In particular, he was thinking of the attack Jayden was able to produce, but his Altered form had given him some type of power of the wind. This didn’t feel like a wind attack; it felt like the energy that would usually be in his body had come out from his literal fingertips. Not only that, but the radius of the attack was even larger than his whole hand, allowing him to make a larger wound just like he had done on the Altered. The retriever was on the floor, its wings on its back had been ripped apart, its body was shaking as it was attempting to get up but was unable to do so. Kon and the group had no clue what to do, meanwhile, Elijah himself was stunned. “Get out of here! There’s a car waiting for us in the back!” Gary shouted. It snapped Elijah out of his daze. ‘Damn it, now I owe him one as well,’ Elijah thought, as he started to run. Although he was an Altered and was a bit faster than most, his Altered form didn’t focus on speed, so he would be caught in no time, and he knew that himself as well. “Don’t worry about them, and don’t look back!” Gary shouted again. ‘What do you mean, don’t look back!’ Elijah thought. ‘You weren’t able to stop them when it was just you on your own; they’ll just target me again.’ However, a second thought started to go through Elijah’s mind. He had just witnessed Gary do something incredible; perhaps this wasn’t the end of the incredible things that he could do. Just as expected, the retrievers didn’t want Elijah to get away; Nox, with a bloody nose, holding onto it, stopping the blood from dripping over his clothes. “He’s getting away with the product; you have to stop him!” Kon’s antennae started to move, giving the others the signal, while he wanted to check on the wounds of his teammate from the Strike force. They were heading straight for Elijah, but in that moment, something had forced them all to turn away. “AWHOOOO!” Gary howled with his head in the air. [Magnetic Howl has been activated] Something inside nearly all of them there made them turn their aggression and their anger straight to Gary. Even Kon found himself going toward him. Each of them was flying directly at him. With his knees bent down, Gary had his claw ready and a smile on his face showing his razor-sharp teeth by his side. [Claw swipe] Gary swung his arm across his body this time, letting out a large claw mark that would hit them all. It landed perfectly, cutting all of them up. Wounds appeared across their whole body. Some of them had crashed into the ground immediately after feeling the deep wounds they had received, while others had tried to defend from the attack by lifting their arms up but still receiving deep wounds. ‘What was that?’ Elijah thought. ‘Never mind, I guess he really did have a plan.’ Exiting out from the metal door, Elijah was sprinting across the field, and he could see the back of the minibus open, while a blond-haired figure was standing in front of it, waving his hand for them all to get inside. Elijah didn’t have time to think; it was time for him to get himself out of this town any way he could, and he would figure out if these guys were enemies later on or not. Jumping up, he looked back to see where Gary was, and could see him running on all fours towards the vehicles. “Go, go, go!” Gary shouted, his face transforming back to his normal self. Kai listened and quickly jumped in the car; the engine was started, and it was on its way revving up. Gary had leapt and landed on the roof, using his claws to dig in and stop him from slipping off. The car was on its way out from the area and out from the city. “F*ck, F*ck!” Killer said, staring out the window. “What the heck is going on! And, I think they're still following us!” The car had to be careful since they weren’t in the best area. There were no set roads; they were out in the middle of nowhere, and if the car broke down, then they would have no choice but to fight back. The Strike Force, having somewhat recovered from the initial hit, had flown out and were heading straight to the vehicle. Elijah, Vere, Austin, Earny, Killer, Herbert, all of these people were now involved in this and were wondering just what was going to happen next. “I gave you a warning; if you follow us, then I’ll have to kill you!” Gary shouted as he swung his fist out again. [Claw swipe] The attack went through the air, but due to the distance, they were able to avoid it this time, but it was quite narrow as well. ‘Damn it, with all the energy I’ve used up, I can only use the claw swipe two more times; otherwise, I’m going to be in trouble unless I eat something,’ Gary thought. It was right after the attack though that the retrievers had stopped. They stopped following the Howlers and hovered in place as they watched the car. “Boss, are you sure this is the right thing to do?” One of the female retrievers asked. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 “That attack, I was hoping it was a one-time last resort he had, but he just used it a few more times.” Kon answered. “If we get hit with that thing, then it could be the death of us, and I don’t want anyone to die over a useless Tier-4 city like this. “We have no choice, contact NIRV, and ask for support, ask them to send an S Rank to deal with this.” ****
