With Ice seemingly out of the picture, it was time for Gary to go all out, and that’s exactly what he would do. He didn’t have much energy to use his skills, but with his newly improved stats, he was sure to be even stronger than before.
With his new improved stats, he lashed out, diving straight ahead at the Warden, running at her.
“So, this is your full transformation; do you think it’s going to make a difference?” The Warden exclaimed, but suddenly Gary’s fist was right in front of her.
She lifted both of her hands up in an X shape to stop the overthrowing arm, and it banged right up against her with full force. The moment it made contact, her horn electrified, hitting Gary at the same time, but her body was pushed back by the strength of the blow, skidding her feet across the ground.
‘The hit was heavier than before, extremely heavy!’ Before the Warden could react, though, she felt the werewolf grab her by her wrists; with pure strength, Gary ripped her arms, moving them to the side.
Her arms were shaking, and her whole body was electrified, yet Gary was still able to hold on and pull the arms apart.
‘In his full transformation, it seems like he’s more resistant to my powers! But if he could do this, then why hadn’t he done it from the beginning?’ The Warden thought.
As soon as her arms were pulled apart, Gary jumped up in the air with both of his legs, and swung out both of his feet, performing a dropkick right to her chest, sending her back.
“I hope you didn’t forget about me as well!” Blackjack said as he was standing in the perfect position, right from behind; he gave a fist right in her spine, making a popping crack sound.
Red aura flowed out from the other side. Yet, her horn was lighting up again, and was healing her body. With it, she wildly swung behind her; it had hit Blackjack perfectly on the face, sending him bouncing on the floor before he got up again, wiping the mark that had been left behind.
Now it was Gary’s turn as he came in, swinging his fists, and jumping about the place, trying to get a good hit in. The Warden was blocking each of the hits and was getting hurt by them, but it was useless with the healing abilities she had.
That’s when he grabbed onto one of the arms of the Warden and pulled it out. He opened his mouth ready for a bite; opening it up wide, he chomped right into her arm, drawing out blood.
Immediately with her other hand, she repeatedly punched Gary in the head several times again and again; the pain was building up.
[98/300 HP]
‘After taking so many hits, my HP is bound to go down by a large amount.’
Eventually, the buildup of the lightning hits had gotten to Gary; his mouth opened wide, and she delivered a strong kick to his stomach, sending him away. At the same time from the other side, she could see Blackjack in the air.
She avoided two of the red aura slashes in the air, moving to the side, then grabbed him by the arm and hurled him to the floor. His body bounced on the concrete again sending him to be right by Gary’s side.
Blackjack was hurt, but bearing through the pain, he got up with his fellow ally. “Haha, you did it, you did it!” Blackjack said as he could see the bite mark on her arm. With this, his mission was done.
Yet, the horn had lit up on the Warden’s head once more, and right in front of their eyes, they saw it. They saw the bite mark healing up and her arm going back to as if it was new.
“What in the…” Blackjack said.
“Now I’m starting to realize you’re an idiot,” Gary replied. “Why didn’t we think this would happen?”
When Blackjack thought about it more, he realized how much of an idiot he might have just been. The Unicorn was a Mythical creature, and not much was known about their powers.
However, through myths, it was said that the horn was able to heal all ailments, poisons, diseases, and so on. In the first place, the effect of a Werewolf bite didn’t work immediately; it was something that took time in the body.
Then eventually, the effects of the bite would completely fade as well. So with the Unicorn Altered's powers, the bite would just heal; it would have no further effect.
Maybe if for whatever reason the Warden decided not to heal the bite, it would eventually have an effect, but who would do that? Right now, it was safe to say, even though Gary had successfully bitten the Warden, in a week’s time, she would be completely fine still.
“She might be the only Altered in the world that won’t be affected by your bite… our plan, it’s ruined, we won’t be able to make it out of here,” Blackjack said.
“Screw that,” Gary replied. “We tried your plan, your methods, and it didn’t work; that just means we now need to try my plan. We’re going to take her out here and now!” Gary claimed.
“And how do you expect to do that, if she can heal all the time, we’ve lost this. It’s important in battles to know when to surrender,” Blackjack replied.
“And it’s important to know when to not,” Gary replied as he looked at the Warden, his upper lip quivering. “This time, we go with my plan; you can attack from far away with that red aura of yours, right? What I want you to do is just attack in that general direction as much as you can.”
“Don’t worry about hitting me or her; just try and do as much damage as you can, and don’t stop!”
