Kai could tell that the Alpha’s howl skill had been used. Although Gary was unaware of where they were or what they were going through, he was still trying to help them out the best he could.
With the skill, the buff would only last a certain amount of time before it wore off, and it couldn’t be used twice in one day. So Kai knew full well that Gary had to be careful with such a skill.
Maybe Gary was even saving it to be used when they were all in the ring for some type of final showdown, but the situation was what it was, and now it felt like they had no choice.
“Get rid of as many Altered as possible!” Kai commanded as he ran forward and jumped in the air. While midair, his body started to change to its wolf form, and before touching the ground he had completely transformed.
The next moment, the Altered surrounding them could no longer see Kai, as he quickly and swiftly moved behind a few of the Altered. From behind, he crashed into one with the full force of his body, sending them toppling in the air toward the others.
It was Olivia that had decided to act as she ran from side to side, and seeing the Altered in the air, she swung her hand. Mid-swing, her nails extended out, growing larger until they were long claws. The appearance of five short swords seemed to be coming out of her hand as she sliced the Altered apart.
Park, feeling more energized than before, had also leapt to another, swinging his arms. The other Altered blocked with their rock-type hand. However, the look on the Altered’s face showed that he was struggling with the strength of the attacks.
Eventually, Park grabbed the man by the shoulder, pulled him forward, and then swung right at his back, sending him to the floor.
Lastly, Marie wasn’t idle either. She had fully transformed into her ten-meter Titan Vanguard. The Altered in front of her couldn’t believe it. Such a small, frail girl had turned into a behemoth right in front of his eyes.
Before he could even show any of his Altered skills, Marie had grabbed him and started to hold on tight, crushing his body with her weight and strength. No longer did she question if what she was doing was right.
Her hesitancy in the past had all but disappeared. They were willing to kill her, and not stopping them meant the death of all those close to her. After a few cracks and blood dripping out of the man’s mouth, Marie let go, and the Altered completely fell and collapsed to the ground.
Just like that, in an instant, the Altered that Park was having trouble with—nearly all of them—had been dealt with. The issue was, though, that there were more on the way.
The cars that had been following them had caught up, and Kai wasn’t sure if he was imagining it or not, but it seemed like there were more of them. They skidded to the side, creating a barrier, making it hard for them to come back.
Right after, the doors opened, and the familiar purple and white clothing was seen on all of the members. Standing at the front were the three Zodiac members.
“Run and then fight, I think running would have been the better option. You should know that the Altered you are dealing with here are not the same as us.” Pinner lifted his hand and clicked his fingers.
Instantly, running from the vehicles was a small army of Altered, their bodies transforming as they ran across the highway to get to where the others were.
Seeing what was coming towards them, Marie quickly went to Olivia and Kai’s side, and then with her claws stabbed both of them in the back.
“This will give you a boost in energy, defense, and all-around improvements,” Marie said.
Kai nodded his head, saying thanks as he charged right in with his wolf form. As he jumped into the army of Altered, he opened his mouth wide and bit down right on one’s neck. His powerful jaw had finished off his opponent in an instant as he swung their body off to the side.
Olivia had grabbed one of the Altered by their legs and then swung them towards the crowd of people, while pulling another one close and stabbing it right through its chest with her arms.
For those that got close to Marie and Park, the two of them were working well, as they fought off whoever was by their side, and even when hit, it did next to nothing to damage them.
“If they were this strong, it makes me wonder why they didn’t just fight in the first place,” Lena said, balling up her fist.
“This is quite a bad situation for us,” Pinner commented. “It seems they have managed to get in a flow of sorts. On top of that, they work incredibly well together. It might not look it, but each one of them is keeping an eye out for one another.”
“That damned wolf is running, attacking those that might cause trouble for the other two in the back. The one with the whip and long claws is targeting those who are attacking him perfectly.”
“Our members are great at fighting one on one because they have been trained by the best in the AFC, but together as a group they have next to no experience.”
“Which is why I need to change the field!” Pinner threw out several spiked balls. They landed in several places on the highway, and as they lit up, a chain of explosions occurred.
It broke the driving lane, the ground above, and the side. The highway they currently were on was elevated to bypass the city traffic below. As the highway started to break and crumble, all of them started to fall, including the One Gang members, onto the ground below.
