Since Gary was currently positioned behind Blackjack, he was unable to see the changes that were occurring in his body, but he heard his words well.
‘He’s some kind of Knight, like those people in the past that used large swords…that makes no sense?’ Gary thought with a raised eyebrow. It also didn’t fit with the standardness of an Altered, and neither did his powers.
‘Either way, if he’s taking this fight more seriously, that will be good for the rest of us.’
Blackjack moved from his position, and he was fast, perhaps just as fast as Gary at this point. The strange red energy had gathered around his fists, and he began to clobber them against the Warden.
His fists were hitting her in the sides, and in all the right places, and each time he would hit, a strange red aura would burst out, giving the hit more power.
Something strange was happening as well; at times, it looked like the Warden could see where the attack was coming from. She was trying to defend and protect herself from it, but the attacks would still fit in, not just that, they were hurting more than a normal attack usually would.
‘I can’t just sit back and watch; I need to act as well. If it’s going this well, it’s quite possible we can win this fight.’
Gary charged forward, and rather than using his full transformed form, he was still using his partial transformation. The main reason why was so he could use more of his skills. His full Werewolf form gave him the edge on stats but would take up more energy being in that form.
However, saving that energy, he could use it in his skills instead. Gary came charging in and punched the Warden right in the stomach as hard as he could; with his other hand, he used a claw slash, cutting her up.
Both Blackjack and Gary were hitting the Warden one after the other. Her horn was starting to glow and spark. At that point, Gary pushed off both of his feet, hitting her hard in the stomach.
The attack was so powerful it pushed the Warden away from the two of them, and the Warden crashed against the prison wall.
“Ice!” Gary shouted.
“I’m already here!” Ice swung his large club once again and bashed it right into the Warden’s face. The hard horn had pierced through his club, but the hit had sunk the Warden’s head deep into the wall.
“What are you doing!” Blackjack said, baring his teeth at Gary. “I already told you what to do; why does your kind never listen!”
“If we can beat her here and now, then the quicker we get out of this place!” Gary shouted back.
The two's focuses were completely different. Blackjack was thinking ahead; maybe if they somehow pulled off beating the Warden, then what? With no energy left, how were they to escape?
It was best to take out the Warden with ease and move on from there. Now, the two of them were glaring at each other, and in the middle of their glaring, they could see the sparks come out from the corner of their eyes.
The club had broken apart, shattering onto the floor. Ice lifted up his shield to protect him at that point, but the Warden quickly used her speed to move to the side, and an electrified fist bashed right into his side.
She continued to move, hitting Ice in the head, the side, and all over. Both Gary and Blackjack, seeing this, decided to charge forward. They went to hit the Warden, but the Warden didn’t even look away.
Gary’s fist hit her in the side, Blackjack hit her from the other side, but the Warden continued, never giving up as she got up again and again, hitting Ice over and over, non-stop.
His whole body was getting electrocuted, making it hard to move. Then with a large hit, the Warden’s horn lit up and bashed into Ice’s face at the same time. The electrifying hit was bigger than the others, and the power caused Ice to go flying and crashing into the other end of the wall.
The Warden stood there, with multiple cuts and large wounds on her body due to what Gary and Blackjack had done so far, but then in front of their eyes once again, all of the wounds were healing.
‘If she knows she’s going to heal from our attacks, even wounds like that, then she can just focus on attacking one of us all out. And heal herself; she’s going to take us out one by one,’ Blackjack thought.
“We can’t keep arguing among ourselves!” Blackjack said. “We agreed to fight, to get out of this together. Let’s just go with this; I’ll go all out and keep her at bay; when you see the chance, give her a good bite.
“At least then, we have the chance to escape at a later time; after that, you do whatever you want to do, and try to take her out. That way, at least my plan will be a backup plan.” Blackjack answered. “But, you can’t just bite her like that; you need to fully transform.”
What Blackjack said made a lot of sense; Gary rarely used his mouth in a fight because he was used to fighting as if he was in an AFC match, only at sometimes had he resorted to more of his instincts.
“I’ve dealt with one of you, so now which one of you should I go for next?” The Warden said, looking at them both, as fresh as when she started the fight.
“Fine.” Gary answered.
[Full transformation]
“Now we no longer have Ice; we need to start performing stronger attacks anyway! I’ll bite her head off!” Gary answered.
