Chapter 866 The Fight Just Got Harder Raven had fully transformed into his Hydra form. Splitting from his head, winding from his shoulders were several long necks, and at the end of them, heads of a dangerous beast that looked like that of a dragon. Not only that, but there were several members of the Phoenix Gang as well. Izzy was busy trying to deal with most of them, along with other members of the Howlers, while Numba and Ian were trying to provide support to the two Werewolves they were battling along with. “Marie, it’s time you start getting your head in the game!” Olivia shouted. “You need to fight the way you were meant to fight!” Marie knew that was the case. Right now, they were just defending as Kai had ordered, but the strength of Raven was too much for them. It was impossible for them to just defend, and they were soon going to wear out. “You're right!” Marie said. “Everyone, get behind me!” Marie's body started to fully transform. Her fur was dark black in color, but what was most notable was her shape. Compared to Olivia, who had longer limbs on her legs and arms, Marie was more of a block shape with large shoulders. Both Ian and Numba were hurt, but they thought that this might be the only situation where they could do something. So rather than battling with the heads they had gone against, they all moved and gathered behind Marie. “All of you are in one place?” Raven said, transforming one of his heads back to his regular self. He still had many heads on his body transformed into the Hydra, but on one of them, there was a head that looked very human, still being able to speak. It was creepy to look at since the head size was very small compared to that of the neck. ”You are just making it easy for me!” Raven exclaimed as he sent in the heads. With Marie getting closer to the heads at the front, she could see it opening its mouth wide. ‘Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!’ Marie screamed in her head as she leapt forward. In doing so, a change was occurring in her body. Her bones felt like they were thickening, and her fur was fluffing up. The sharp teeth of the Hydra had dug into her skin, and part of the saliva that was acidic was burning her skin. Marie bore the pain, and the strong jaws of the Hydra were unable to pierce much further than just a few inches of the skin. Another head went and bit her on the side, and it was the same. “Good job!” Olivia shouted as she reached her claws out and ran across, skidding down from the head, trying to reach the body. The skin of the Hydra was being ripped out, but the liquid was burning her claws as well. “It’s okay because what I really was going for was the body!” Olivia jumped ahead, and two of the heads went right for her. At that moment though, Ian jumped to one side, with Numba jumping to the other. Both of them were in their fully transformed state. Ian's whole body was filled with bristles, as the Hydra bit down, his bristles went right through the Hydra’s head. At the same time, Numba's full force hit was powerful as it perfectly hit the chin of the Hydra’s mouth, snapping it shut. This allowed Olivia to finally reach the main body, and with her claws, she twisted her hand, ready to pierce him right in the stomach. As she was ready to hit though, she saw something drop down from her side; it was one of the Hydra’s heads, it had fallen to the floor. ‘What the..’ right after that, she saw a mass amount of green liquid dropping in front of her. She pulled back her hand quickly from the body and quickly moved to the side. When she got up, she could see what had occurred. One of the Hydra’s heads that was above the body had been ripped off and apart. It had caused a mass amount of blood to fall close to Olivia before she could strike. As for how the head had come off though, one of the other Hydra heads had eaten the other, destroying it completely. “I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, whatever doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger, well, that is very, very true for my Altered form.” Raven, dangling floating head, claimed. Out from the damaged head, the end of it was building, healing up, until bursting out from it was not one but two heads that had split. They were equal in size and staring down at the group. Ian had also exploded the bristles from his back and quickly got away. In doing so, another head was destroyed, but from it, the same thing was occurring as two heads had appeared. Ian quickly tumbled to the ground to reposition himself as they all went and stared at the many heads that were now looking down at them. “This has just gotten a lot harder, hasn’t it,” Ian exclaimed. “What, do each of us have to take on like 4 heads now?” “It’s not just that!” Izzy shouted as she threw one of the Phoenix Gang members crashing into the ground. “We need to target the body; otherwise, this will just get a lot harder for us!” Olivia had retreated back to Marie, who had mostly healed up from her wounds. She was durable and stronger than a typical werewolf because she was the protector class . This class allowed her to strengthen her fur as well as the bones inside of her body, making it hard for attacks to damage her fatally while in this state. On top of that, her wounds would heal quicker than the typical werewolf. The protector werewolves worked more as a support, so the combination between a werewolf class of a hunter and protector worked quite well, as long as the protector was brave enough to take the hits. This had worked, but now things had gotten harder, and they still needed to get to Raven somehow. “I’ll be honest with you… I’m out of ideas,” Olivia said. “I guess all we can do now is wait for that help that Kia spoke about.” Olivia commented. “I just want to say that you did well, young one; this wasn’t your fault, it’s just we’re going up against a rather big ugly bastard.” Marie didn’t want to give up; surely if they kept trying, then something would occur, right? As she had these deep feelings and was ready to try charging in again. She felt a large thump in her chest. The muscles in her body were tightening up, and she fell to the ground. “Marie, are you all right?” Olivia asked, as she went to go toward her, but in that moment, the same thing had occurred to her. Her chest thumped loudly, pain started to spread through her whole body, and the veins were visible. Both of their werewolf forms had disappeared in an instant, and now they were rolling around on the floor in pain. “What is happening?” Izzy asked as she rushed over but had no clue what to do. Olivia, then using what strength she had, grabbed Izzy’s shirt. “I’ve… felt this before,” Olivia managed to say. “Just protect us… just protect us… for a short while… and we’ll get this guy.”
