Chapter 1076 The Titan Vanguard
Chapter 1076 The Titan Vanguard
Not far from Slough, on a long toll highway, the entire road had been blocked off, not allowing for any more cars to enter. Little did people know what really was happening on such roads.
A pile-up of cars, a small army of Altered, all going up against three members of the Howlers, and to top it off, there were also three of the Zodiac members present: Lena, Berry, and Pinner.
The first of the three to attack and transform was Pinner himself. His spiky hair started to coat his entire body. From head to toe, it seemingly was a type of beast fur but didn't have the same soft touch feature.
The fur was sharp and pointy like a thorn bush, and it didn't look welcoming to pet it. Reaching out, the fur on his body gathered to one point and now was a large black ball of spikes.
Pinner threw it towards the others, and when it landed on the ground it started to light up in a bright blue light. It exploded, and the ground shook. Even the cars were bouncing up and down from the explosion.
A large smile was on Pinner's face.
"There was no need for all three of us to come; I could have handled all of them myself."
When the dust started to settle though, an extremely large figure could be seen, with its eyes in the air. It was breathing heavily. Its size was around ten meters in height, and it was bulging.
Finally, the finer details came into view for the Zodiacs. They could see what looked like a human wolf standing on its two legs, yet it was gigantic in size and blocky.
Its fur was fine on its body, hardening its hide. From Pinner's attack, the spikes had gone off in different directions like that of a grenade and shrapnel. Several of the sharp hair follicles had pierced the concrete ground, creating micro cracks, and if it had hit the others it would have deeply pierced their skin as well.
Instead, all of the sharp hair follicles were seen in the chest of Marie as she stood there. She was more powerful than before, now a Werewolf of the Titan Vanguard Class.
Her healing factors were fast, her size and weight were large, and the fur on her body acted like a thick coat of armor. The sharp hair follicles started to fall onto the ground, clanging as they hit the floor as if made of metal.
"So they can do a few special things from the looks of it. It's no wonder Stanley was worried about them," Pinner commented.
"Are you guys okay?" Marie asked.
"Yeah, we're fine..." Kai answered.
"Do you want me to strengthen you guys, and then we go all out from the beginning, or is there some other type of plan?" Marie asked.
With her new class, Marie was able to stab other fellow Werewolves and inject some strange substance inside of them. It would energize the Werewolves while also strengthening their hide as well.
However, it could only be done once in a fight. Its effects would eventually wear off, and until the next day, the strengthening would have no effect if used again.
Which was why Marie was asking Kai if it was the best time to do such a thing.
"Kai!" Marie asked again.
"Stop your transformation, and both of you get on!" Kai said, as he transformed into his large wolf-like form and jumped in front of the two women.
Marie was stunned and confused, but they decided to both listen. Marie changed back, reverting her size, and Olivia was already on. The two of them had hopped on the back of Kai, as he rushed off down the highway and continued running. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It was an unexpected move, one that the Zodiacs didn't predict. They were startled, and seeing the speed of the wolf, they knew that they couldn't keep up. So instead they had gotten into their vehicles.
"Follow them, we'll clear the way!" Pinner shouted, as he rushed with Berry and Lena ahead to clear the blocked cars, chucking them to the side.
The wind was blowing in both Marie and Olivia's faces, their hair going all over the place.
"What are we doing?" Marie asked. "I thought we were going to fight them."
"There's no need," Kai answered. "We just needed to buy enough time for Gary to get away, and he should be well ahead of us now. They won't be able to catch up.
"If we can, I would like to avoid a fight, especially if it's with the Zodiacs!"
Both Marie and Olivia understood, or at least they thought they understood, but Kai didn't share his true thoughts. There was a fear in him; if they were to go up against the Zodiacs, then what if one of them was to perish?
It wasn't just that he was afraid of losing someone close that was in the Howlers, but there was another fear. Kai realized the strength of the pack and the Werewolf Classes.
Werewolves were packs, and they had different traits because they were all there to support the single Alpha. With all of their powers, they had things that could help them take down a large enemy.
Gary, although stronger than Marie, couldn't reinforce his own hide, but she could. Olivia, with her special trait as an Apex predator, she could also see where the weak point was of an enemy.
And with Kai's own quick speed, he could attack in various different ways, maybe even be a mount to be used for Gary and helping him in his fight.
With all of them at full strength, then maybe they could take down Harvor. So they needed to survive to help him.
"Once we get past the blockade and into the city, they won't be able to do anything to us. We'll be there for Gary!" Kai claimed
