New Game+ - Chapter 462: Evolution Of The Virus
Titan moved with unbelievable speed and was using his instincts to attack the wolves and evade the bullets that the soldiers at the other end would shoot at him.
Titan was not relying on sight or sound anymore but had increased the range of his Realm to sense the slightest changes in the vibration of the air. It was such a rare state that only a few Ranked Heroes possessed in the previous timeline of Seeker.
But now, this ability has been harnessed to the point that it has become a requirement for all Commander-level soldiers.
With his fast perception of time and the improved methods of harnessing Realm and Origin, he was able to move in and kill the wolves and remain untouched from the constant attacks of the soldiers.
The werewolves couldn’t handle the onslaught of Titan with the staggering bullets that were being sent at them from the front.
With each slice, he decapitated the heads of the wolves that he ambushed. Soon, he became the focus of the charging wolves.
“Who is that?!” One of the soldiers was amazed.
“Who cares? He’s our savior! Just keep shooting and help him kill the wolves!” The General shouted.
The soldiers and the Exoskeletons
With the soldiers’ aid, Titan was able to eliminate the wolves.
“Everyone, you can’t stay here! You have to evacuate! Leave the battle to us! And inform your headquarters that the Lost Primordial has sent these werewolves! The battle in here is just getting started!” Titan began to inform the team as he moved in and avoided the werewolves.
“He’s right. The whole base has fallen. There is no point in staying here.” A General stepped forward.
“You’re the General of this base? Hurry and round up the survivors. All the aggression of the wolves is focused on us. If you want to help get your men out of this place so no new werewolves would awaken.” Titan ordered.
“General! Look!” A soldier suddenly cried out.
At the far end of the hall, a strange creature appeared.
It was clearly an Exoskeleton. But the Exoskeleton was also a werewolf. It had thick fur growing all over its body.
“What the fragment is that?!” Titan was shocked.
The werewolf Exoskeleton was growing fur at a rapid rate. It didn’t have fangs or claws, but its murderous and wild nature remained, and it began to run towards Titan and the soldiers.
“What do we do?!” The General asked Titan.
“Try shooting it, I guess.”
“Right! Shooting it! Men! Fire!”
BANG! BANG! BOOM! BOOM! BLAST!
Nothing remained from the Exoskeleton.
“… That was overkill. Anyway, follow the path. My allies should be right behind me, and the werewolves should be busy.” Titan then left the group and dashed out of the hall with amazing speed.
As Titan moved up, he killed the wandering werewolves in the area.
“It seems that the werewolf is leading the pack somewhere. What could it be?” Titan frowned.
As Titan moved up and reached the main hall of the base, he finally caught sight of another werewolf Exoskeleton.
“Hi. I’m looking for the bathroom.” Titan asked.
The werewolf Exoskeleton turned towards Titan and charged wildly.
BANG!
The head of the Exoskeleton was blown off.
John Octavion III appeared at the back wielding his sniper. He used a more powerful round to blow the head of the Exoskeleton. But seeing as the strange werewolf could still move, John shot again.
BANG!
“Asterisxx! What the hell?! That was my enemy!” Titan cursed.
“Sorry. I couldn’t help but shoot it. It’s too weird not to shoot.” John laughed.
“But what is this?” John asked as he observed the Exoskeleton. The pilot inside was also a werewolf, but the strange change in the metal confused John.
“It looks like South America has been experimenting with our technology to combine our cells with metals. They have produced this living metal that heals and grows just like the human body. But, the virus of the werewolves is more potent. I’m guessing that it’s following the orders of Amir’s son. Although it doesn’t have a brain, the virus and the cells are reacting to the commands of the Alpha wolf. That’s one impressive Realm that wolf has.” Halley explained.
“That’s crazy.”
“Yes. Something strange has happened. Not even Amir himself has this power. I need more data.”
“I guess you should send that info to Charles. He’ll probably like it.” John teased.
“Focus on your mission, John. You’ve gotten all gossipy and annoying since you completed that mission.” Halley was annoyed at the mention of that name.
“It’s called an appreciation for life, Miss Halley. You should try fighting for it, too.”
“Whatever. Amir’s son seems to be headed for the power core of this base. I guess it’s trying to feed on energy directly.”
“Well, that explains everything. What else will a rampaging werewolf want than radioactive energy that is used to power up a military base.” Titan sighed.
“I don’t think there are any more wondering werewolves. Head to this location. And get ready to fight that Alpha.”
“Lead the way, miss Halley.” Danny laughed.
And so, Halley began to lead the team down. Finally, they found the werewolves all gathered up near the power plant deep inside the base.
The rest of the werewolves were standing to the side, waiting for any orders of the Alpha.
The alpha wolf was inside, biting on metals and devouring elements to grow.
“I know who the father is, but who was the mother that gave birth to that!” Danny was amazed.
“I don’t know. But can you feel it? The Realm of that beast is huge! How did Amir achieve that?” Titan asked.
“It’s driven by instincts. We’re in for a fight.” The Golden Exoskeleton answered.
Suddenly, the werewolf stood up and turned towards the Covenant of the Strongest.
“ROAR!” It howled, and the nearby werewolves all turned around and howled at them. There were several exoskeleton werewolves in the mix.
The radiation level of the wolf suddenly grew several times stronger.
“This is horrifying. It has the cells of Cliff, and it’s activated. I get it now. It’s the ability to even turn bio-robots into werewolves. It’s the ability to feed on energy! It’s taken the powers of several Unlocked! Can you feel it? Its roars are based on the thunder of Richie.” Halley reported.
“It gains the power of whatever it eats, huh? So I guess the defeat of the trio commanders of the Basilisk Squadron isn’t as embarrassing as we thought it would be.” Danny laughed.
“Reminds me of the zombie robots in the Kraken. Now we have werewolf robots.” John sighed.
Suddenly, the Alpha began to bite the nearby wolves. Each tremendous bite tore through the parts of the werewolf down to its bones. The werewolf greedily took several bites until it quickly devoured five werewolves.
Its frame turned larger at each bite, and the radiation it was released was also increasing.
“That’s new…” Halley was amazed. This didn’t even happen during the battle against Cliff’s team a few days ago.
“That werewolf’s power is off the charts!” Dara frowned as she could see the radiation increase.
“The cells of the werewolf are going berserk. It’s eating up its lifespan to produce power. It should have enough might to damage Almetals. Be careful. Even Rules would be damaged at that beast’s claw attacks.” Halley warned.
“The cells are going berserked. It would be a shame… if someone calms it down.” Danny laughed as he turned towards the Golden Exoskeleton.
“Let’s have fun, shall we? Let’s show that Ranked Hero wannabe the power of the Covenant!” The Golden Exoskeleton laughed and charged forward.
The tank and two fighters led the way. The sniper positioned itself at the back, and the scout vanished.
“Time to go to work…” John sighed. To him, it was business as usual.. It was just another day as a member of the Covenant of the Strongest.
