Rickle could feel his body slowing down as he tried to move forward. As if something was pulling at his body, it wasn’t time itself but only the area he was in. There were few times he had experienced this feeling before, and all the times in the past he had experienced it, he never wanted to experience it being used on him again.As he tried to inch his way forward even further, the dark shadows that were creeping in from the corner of his eyes had wrapped around his wrists and pushed around his legs, holding him in place.Looking ahead, it was quite clear where the shadow had come from. The smile was plastered all over Rumper’s face, and along with it, the color of his eyes had completely changed. The white in them could no longer be seen, covered in a dark purple making its appearance almost black, just like the infected Altered.“The power of the Shadow, how is it that you were able to obtain it? Were you infected as well? Was this all your doing?” Rickle shouted. He couldn’t keep

The black capsule dropped into Harvor’s mouth, and with the last of his strength, he bit down, crushing it between his teeth. The liquid oozed into his mouth and came alive, dancing on top of his tongue and heading straight down into his throat.As it traveled through the rest of his body, Harvor started to think back to when he had been given the capsule in the first place, before people began arriving at the stadium.Harvor was escorting Rumper Karn to his hiding spot beneath the stadium. Stanley was by his side, as he always was in most cases. They had reached the room, and Rumper was looking around the place.“So right now, we are directly underneath the stadium?” Rumper asked.“Not quite. There’s a floor above this one, but think of it as a fake floor,” Stanley answered. “There’s no way to get to it, and it’s fortified with several layers of steel. Because it is under the stadium, the foundation of the ground itself needed to be incredibly strong.”“It has to be able to take the

Gary's form changed at a quick speed with his size quickly growing in size and the rest of his skin darkening. The fur grew out from his body with smoke coming out his back, and the raw power pulsating through his body.However, there was a clear change to Gary compared to before. He could feel the intense power burning through his body.[Gary Dem] [Grade: King] [Level 50][Class: Dark Warrior (Upgrade Quest Available)][Health: 573/1500] [Energy 433/1500][Strength: 150][Endurance: 100] [Dexterity: 100][While in the Shadow Ash Lycan form, your HP will decrease by -5HP every thirty seconds]'The pain…it doesn't hurt as much? I can still feel it, but it's not to the point where I have to solely focus on it. Is it because of the level ups, because now Daphne isn't forcing me to transform?'Seeing Harvor up again, and the constant dark shadows surrounding the side of his body, along with the messages from the system. Gary didn't have much hope, but now he was feeling far better com

The large sword that Rickle was using up to this point was stuck in the ground, and it was only an arm's reach away from Gary. He could see the chains dangling down by its side, and the odd thickness of the blade.It was strange to think any regular person could hold such a large weapon, but for Rickle and those like him, it certainly was a far easier task.'That weapon… Rickle threw it for me, he wants me to use that?' Gary could tell that the sword was something special. It had blocked the powerful golden shots that had taken out the majority of his HP even in his current form.'But I'm no swordsman… I don't know how to use that thing?' Gary thought.In the middle of his thoughts, he saw a large wolf, skid across and stopped right in front of Gary. Seeing its grey fur, Gary very well knew that this was Kai."Pick up the sword. You don't have much time left, do you!" Kai shouted, his voice a little snarly due to speaking in his wolf form.Gary knew Kai was right, how much longer did

A lot of what Rickle said didn't really register with Gary, but at this point, he was used to old men rambling on and talking in circles rather than directly. Just based on appearance alone, Gary felt like Rickle was the king of talking this way.As Rickle placed the crystal on top of Harvor's body, dark shadows rose up, and those in the air started to swarm towards the crystal. Shadows went past all of those in the room, swirling as if they were being sucked into a black hole.Looking at the sky, all of the dark shadows that once cast above were all being swallowed up until it had come to an end.Standing up, Rickle looked at the crystal in his hand. "A disaster averted, one that I didn't think we would have to deal with again. I just hope this is the last time I will need to deal with this trouble."Rickle looked up to the rest, to Gary and his allies by his side, to Daphne and Chen. "I have got what I needed. The infected beasts shouldn't be a problem to any of you anymore.”"Rumpe
