Sparks were electrifying the Warden’s body, concentrated at the top of the horn. They were going through her entire self as she stood there looking at the others. For a regular human, just touching the Warden, it felt like they would die in an instant, or feel as if they were struck by a lightning bolt.
Gary was bracing himself, still using his partial transformation rather than his full transformation. Although he had, in some way, tried to finish off the fight quickly, he still needed to be careful.
He had no idea of the full extent of what his opponent could do, and it was a good idea, as the Warden was revealing their strength.
‘Jayden told me about Altereds with special powers obtained from the beasts, the basis of their Altered. It brings them into another tier altogether. The world doesn’t know much about these Altereds because what you see on the AFC is just the physical powers.’
‘But right now, this unicorn-based Altered, it appears as if it has more than just one power. Healing and some type of Lightning.’
Gary was being extremely wary; his instincts were telling him to be. He wanted to test the waters and wondered what the best way was, that was until Ice made the first move.
He had a shield in hand, and an ice club in the other. He stomped with his right foot hard on the ground, and a trail of ice appeared heading right for the Warden. The ice powers were fast, and as it touched where she stood, the ice started to encase her feet, rising up the rest of her body fast.
“It doesn’t matter if she has more than one power or not. We have our own powers as well!” Ice charged forward. In a way, he felt like his Mythical Altered form had more than one type of power as well.
Not only did he have strong ice powers, but he also had extreme strength to go with his endurance. Gary knew that well after fighting him.
With the club in his hand, as long as he could get a direct hit on the Warden, he was sure that he would cause a large amount of damage.
“Arghhh!” Ice charged in.
The horn on the Warden lit up again, and in doing so, the ice on her body started to melt right off. Right after the ice had melted, Ice gave out a big swing with his club.
The horn electrified itself and her whole body; the next moment, she was gone. The club swung but hit nothing but the air. A heavy sweeping sound was heard, showing the great strength of Ice.
Right after that though, sharp sparks of lights could be seen in the corner of Ice’s eye, and before he knew it, he was hit with a heavy hand right across his face.
His body was lifted from the ground, and he stumbled right across the floor. Again, the Warden charged in, moving incredibly fast, and lifted her leg ready to kick Ice.
Before she hit, though, Gary had come in to defend Ice and knocked her leg away with his hand. The Warden regained her composure though and was able to continue with her attacks.
She went to kick and punch, while Gary carefully blocked each one, looking carefully. While blocking the attacks, the Warden’s horn would light up again, and she would come from the side.
Thankfully, Gary could keep up with her, and he covered himself, lifting his knee and arm up. A loud hit crashed right into Gary, sending a pulsating wave through his body and sending a shock back through the entire prison.
All of the prisoners felt a jolt go through their body, even causing some of them to flip.
‘Crap, even though I can block her hits, and keep up with her, each of the hits although they don’t seem to be hurting me, I can tell they’re all doing damage.’
[253/300 HP]
It wasn’t large amounts, but with each hit, Gary was getting hurt from the inside; he could feel his body turning more numb by the moment. Not only that, but due to the great speed that the Warden could produce, she was hitting him with a lot of hits as well.
[Lethal Pounce]
Gary used what he could and leaped from his position, as he moved he managed to pounce on top of her body and delivered a strong punch right into her stomach. Not letting her get away, with his other hand rather than a fist, he swiped at her, cutting part of her clothing and digging his nails through her skin again.
[Lethal pounce]
Using his lethal pounce skill again, Gary had pinned her to the ground and wanted to finish the fight, until he could see her horn lighting up again.
‘This is bad!’
Gary rolled back, and the entirety of the Warden’s body lit up again, shocking the whole area. Gary had gotten out of the way just in the nick of time.
As he jumped back, large ice spikes flew through the air and went straight to the Warden. She jumped from the ground and avoided all of the ice attacks, moving her body until one had hit her on the shoulder.
Pulling it out, she threw it to the ground, and her horn lit up again, healing the wound on her stomach and the wound on her shoulder as well.
After doing some damage, looking at her, they felt like they were back at square one.
“Did you think because you had a number advantage that you could defeat me? If that was the case then what about the prisoners that you had dealt with?” The Warden asked.
The main thing they needed to worry about was the healing factor. If they couldn’t figure out how it worked or how to overcome it, then they would be done for.
“Are you going to join this fight or just watch?” Ice asked.
“Sorry, I was just evaluating things… it seems like you will need my help,” Blackjack said as his eyes started to glow slightly red.
