Jumping back and forth, Olivia was using her newly trained body to avoid confrontation with most of the heads. Although more heads for attacking might have seemed better for Raven at first, it was now starting to work against him.
There were too many that would get in the way of each other. They would intertwine and tangle up at times, and he would have to unravel them. Seeing this, Olivia thought it was best that she continued to avoid the oncoming attacks while waiting for an opportunity.
‘Although now I’m confident that I will be able to reach him and damage him in some way, he might not think the same,’ Olivia thought. ‘Right now, even though we are holding on, he doesn’t seem to be changing his attack pattern.
‘If anything, he’s confident in his Altered powers, too confident, but I need to wait for the right opportunity. While he is like this, there might just be one chance to take him out!’
Numba and Ian had originally felt the same way, which was how they were able to get an attack on Raven. By showing something that he had never seen before and using great strength. This was Olivia’s plan as well, and out of all of those that would make the opportunity work for them, she was looking to Marie for the answer.
Marie, having just stabbed one of her allies with her nails, could feel something come from her own body. It felt somewhat like when a person would sneeze but the sensation was through her fingertips.
As for the result, it had improved the other Werewolf that was fighting alongside her. Another head came towards her in the middle of her thoughts, and she had jumped up, landing on top of the head with her large size.
The head skidded through the ground until it crashed into a shop, and she had quickly gotten off from the Hydra.
“Maybe, with this, we can make a big push!” She thought, clenching her fist.
“Everyone!” Marie shouted. “Those from the Howlers gang, gather near me!” She had sent out the order.
The Werewolf she had helped before had a pretty good idea of what she was going to do and was the first to gather. Soon after, the rest started to follow. As they arrived one by one, she quickly would stab each one in the back for less than a second.
All of them could feel the power inside them rising bit by bit, and now they were all ready to go against the Hydra again.
“So, just charging at you single-handedly isn’t enough, huh?” Raven said, looking at the Werewolves grouped up. “Well, this just makes it easier to take you down.”
The Hydra heads had lifted up in the air, and now they were directly above where Marie and the others were.
“Battering ram time!” Raven smiled.
The Hydra heads swung down as if they were giant arms, one after the other, right where Marie and the others were. She and the group had been hit, the ground was sinking beneath their feet.
The whole area was shaking with each hit of the Hydra heads. Not only that, but as they were swung down so hard onto the floor one after the other, blood was filling up their mouths and dropping down them.
‘Now!’ Olivia thought. ‘While he has most of his attacks focused, I have to finish him off now!’
Olivia was running down the side of the wall at a fast speed. Digging her feet and claws into the structures, then from the side when she could see Raven in sight, she leaped from her position and was aiming straight for Raven’s body.
Looking to his right, Raven could see her, but his heads were too outstretched to come and help. There were a couple of heads he had kept close, but while in the air, Olivia had shot out her nails, hitting them directly in the eye, stopping them.
‘I can’t worry about Marie right now because we have to take out this thing completely; if we want to live, this is the only thing we can do!’
While leaping through the air, her nails had just grown back in time. Thrusting them forwards, she had stabbed them right into Raven’s chest. His whole body stumbled, but the heads he was using as legs kept him up.
While her nails were inside Raven’s body, though, she noticed something; even the blood on his body, it was made out of the same acidic green stuff. Her nails inside were melting.
Taking them out quickly, she shot the remainder of them away and needed them to grow back quickly. She then grew her nails out again and scratched them against his chest, hitting him one after the other.
Each time her nails would start to fade away, she had to shoot them out for them to regrow. Being so close and having her legs wrapped around his body to stay where she was, Olivia then shot the nails into his chest, hoping they would reach his heart, but it wasn’t working.
There was only one thing left to do; she then reached out her hand, and her nails started to extend out further and further.
“Why don’t you just die, die!” Olivia screamed.
The heads that were bombarding the ground and where Marie and the others were, they had stopped. Marie and the rest of the Werewolves, they were relatively hurt from the attack, but they had managed to survive due to their newfound strength.
They could see Olivia, on the main body, and with her extra-long nails, she stabbed him through the chest. Her nails pierced through the skin and were reaching further and further in, but at the same time, with the single head that was floating out, with the face of Raven, that’s when something drastic had occurred.
The color in his eyes had completely turned black, and a purple smog was starting to come out from his body. Olivia’s nails had completely melted before they had reached the heart.
