Novel Full Chapter 556 System Overload
The Scatterbugs’ Altered had been able to tell Gary was strong. From the moment they had seen him fight, they understood where the masked intruder’s confidence stemmed from to attack their base.
Nevertheless, when he had entered the room, none of them had been too worried about him. They too were strong Altered. Strong enough that perhaps one of them on their own could take over, or at least defeat a gang of a Tier-3 town.
This was how confident they were, but something strange happened, Gary suddenly became faster, and his strikes seemed to contain even more power in the span of a few seconds.
Seconds before the iron skinned Altered got hit by those strikes, he knew he was in trouble. He had no time to prepare, no time to stop the hit, he could only trust in his own defense. Alas, the strong claws dug deep inside him, tearing his body and the long fingernail clipped part of his heart, killing him on the spot.
[You have successfully slain an Altered]
[10,000 Exp has been rewarded]
[Congratulations, you have now reached: Level 25]
[A stat point has been granted]
There were multiple messages that appeared in front of Gary right now, but at this moment it was more of a distraction than anything else. He had just defeated one of the strongest Altered in the room in terms of defensive abilities, but that still didn’t faze the others as they all came towards him.
‘Sh*t, can you guys just give me a second to read my messages!’ Gary thought, as he jumped from his position, and dug his claws into the side of the wall. He was now stuck to it, but some of the Altered could fly, he was just hoping that they would hesitate a little before coming toward him after seeing what he could do now.
[Optional Quest received]
[Waste not want not]
[Consume the Altered]
[Quest reward: Additional stat points]
‘Does it LOOK like I’m in any position to do so?!’ Gary was more than annoyed for this Quest to show up at this moment. There was hardly ever a chance for Gary to kill an Altered, but from the handful of times he had done so, he had learned that it appeared to be the fastest way for him to grow. He was sure that it was the same for Midwak, though he didn’t really know whether the Werewolf System enhanced this ability in any way, be it in the boost he gained or the time it took for the bonus to take effect.
The Alpha Werewolf could only hope so, because otherwise Midwak would become even stronger once he finished eating the Altered he had defeated. Unfortunately, even after his boost, Gary wasn’t overwhelmingly stronger than the Altered in the room that he could eat at his pleasure.
Still, there were a few messages that Gary had to go through.
[Main Quest completed]
[Who would have thought you would survive long enough to reach this milestone?]
[Since you’ve proven to be well suited for your current role, you’ve earned yourself your 1st Class Promotion!]
[Please select from one of the following Classes!]
‘I don’t remember this being a Main Quest, but whatever, I completed it at the perfect time. Becoming a Werewolf Warrior was a major upgrade to my power, but it took some time for the changes to take place, and it wasn’t exactly pleasant.’
Gary recalled how his body had gone through some extreme changes, so if this Class Promotion would be the same thing, it would mean he would be unable to fight for a while. Selecting something now might very well be the last thing he ever did.
Then there was an even bigger problem, just as Gary was about to check out his options the Needle Altered started to fire more stuff at him, and the Werewolf was forced to leap from the wall back down onto the floor.
“You can keep running, but eventually you’re going to tire out! Spare us the nuisance and just accept your fate!” One of the Altered shouted.
It was then, that a big thick log-like arm came out from one of the Altered and whacked Gary right in the stomach, sending him flying and crashing right into the wall, breaking the glass cabinets that were on the side.
[-20 HP]
[192/250 HP]
‘There goes the HP I just got back.’ Gary thought to himself as he got back up. ‘I need to fight at full strength, I need to get rid of them all, but then I won’t have any Energy… and I also need to find a way to eat their bodies to be ready for Midwak.’
Another large log-like arm was coming towards him, and still hurt from the attack before, Gary had no choice, but to use another skill.
[Skill activated Lethal Pounce]
[-50 Energy]
Gary suddenly sped up, and jumped towards one of the people, but of all the Altered he jumped towards it turned out to be the one with multiple sharp limbs that had them all pointed towards Gary. Covering himself, Gary braced himself as his body was embedded with several of the sharp limbs about a metre thick, only his head and stomach were saved as he had gotten into a ball shape.
Kicking off from the Altered, Gary got out but he was bleeding heavily and had suffered a lot more damage compared to before.
[-48 HP]
[144/250 HP]
‘I have no choice, I have to fully transform and try to get rid of these guys as soon as possible. Then hopefully, while Midwak is still distracted, I can take the chance to choose that Class Promotion. Hopefully it’s something powerful, since it might be my only way to win this fight!’
[4/11 Altered have been defeated]
[5/11 Altered have been defeated]
[6/11 Altered have been defeated]
There was notification, after notification, of the other Altered being defeated, and Gary gasped for a second as he realised something terrible. In total six had decided to go after him, and he had only dealt with one of them… in other words, Midwak had successfully dealt with all the Altered who had gone against him.
Glancing at the back, Gary could see Midwak indulging in a feast of Altered bodies. He was growing stronger in this fight, eating them one by one, and once he was done, he would fight the Alpha.
