My Werewolf System

Chapter 158: Black Blood

Chapter 158: Black Blood

Inside the warehouse, no one could comprehend the situation they were in. People who they had never seen before entered the warehouse and all of them since their leader had been defeated had given up fighting, yet there seemed to be a new problem.

Looking around, Austin quickly found a metal pipe lying on the floor. Perhaps a weapon from one of the other members. Picking it up, he placed it through the door, and using all his strength the teenager managed to make it bend, which should make it harder for the twins to open it.

Austin was strong, but he didn’t even know where he had found the strength to bend the pipe. Perhaps it was the fear running through him that his life could be over at any second.

The next second, and the strange long fingernails pierced right through the metal warehouse door. A screeching noise was heard of what sounded like metal against metal as the long nails scratched down, leaving behind large claw marks.

Now, through the gap that had been made, for a brief second everyone could see the head of the figure on the other side. All they could see was the black, sunken in eyes, staring in at them. In a blink, though, the head disappeared.

“What was that? First an Altered showed up… and now ALIENS?!” Someone asked, pinching himself to make sure this wasn’t all a nightmare.

“It scratched part of the door as well, am I seeing things?” Another one replied.

The three Howlers that had entered ran over to where Gary was, and stood by his side, but soon turned around because they didn’t want their back facing the other direction for long.

“It doesn’t look like there’s any other exit from this place!” Kai shouted as he looked around, he also briefly looked at Marie who looked to be badly hurt and not in the best shape to exactly start running for their lives.

“Guys, can you tell me what is going on?” What was that?” Gary asked.

“You might not believe it, but it’s those two twins!” Innu answered, pointing at the door. “Kai defeated them, but then they freaking injected themselves with some sh*t. After that they started going bald and before we knew it they had already turned into freaks.

“Those guys are out of their mind!!! They didn’t even hesitate to kill their own gang members. If they had concentrated on us first, we would have been dead by now! Crap, isn’t it a fire hazard to just have one fire exit, what era are we living in.”

A loud bang was heard again, and this time the sliding doors had been pushed forward. In doing so a small gap was revealed but luckily the pipe that Austin had put managed to hold them off a bit longer. That was until a hand with its long nails was seen coming through, and slicing downward, the pipe was split in half.

The doors were then pushed to the side and the two strange figures could be seen.

[WARNING!!!]

[Beasts have been detected in the vicinity]

[Beasts are natural predators of humans]

[New Quest received]

[Predator or Prey?]

[Although you’re a Werewolf, in their eyes you’re just another feisty treat]

[Defeat the beasts]

[Reward: ???]

[Failure: Death]

‘They’re beasts, as in those things that Altered are based on? … how is that possible? … I really don’t like the ‘Failure’ addition. System, do you plan to kill me if I run away? Or are you trying to tell me it’s impossible. Why don’t you upgrade me with some new skills!’

There were a number of grey colour gang members near them, and rather than looking for a specific target, it seemed like the two twins were just going for whoever was closest to them. They soon latched onto those closest to them, digging their long pencil knife hands into their bodies, so they wouldn’t let go.

In this brief moment, Gary was able to see it all. The beasts started to repeatedly stab the grey colour gang members, one hand after another. It was so fast and each time in the person’s stomach until he had died and fallen to the floor.

‘They are even faster than before… and I don’t have any stat points to increase my Dexterity any further.… ’

[68/100 HP]

[40/100 Energy]

‘I’m not at full Health, and I don’t have a lot of Energy left either,but the claw drain seemed to stop the bleeding from the stab wound, how am I meant to do this?’

“Gary, I’m not going to lie to you, I don’t think we can beat those things. I don’t know how strong you are, and I don’t know if putting pressure on you is the right thing to do right now, but If we can’t kill those abominations, we’ll all die. I can’t afford to die yet!” Kai stressed.

“You can say that again! I ain’t dying here in some crappy warehouse!” Austin shouted.

The grey colour gang members had scattered after they had seen those beasts kill their friends, some had run towards the beast in some type of fight or flight mode while others had run away, but it was mostly useless.

Gary could feel Marie shaking just like she had done before, and he looked towards her.

“It’s going to be okay! Remember what I said? I will protect you.” Gary reminded the high school girl, who just nodded, trying to hold back her tears at their impending doom. “I’ll be honest, Kai, I don’t like my chances against the two of them at once. If you can distract one of them, I might be able to take the other on.”

“Look, Gary, it’s great that you take this leader thing this seriously, but I don’t think now is the time to act brave. You’ve seen what they’re capable of, once they get you-“

“We don’t have time for this.” Gary cut Innu off. “Just trust in me. Austin, please take Marie, and I’ll try to deal with them as quickly as possible.”

Austin easily carried the small girl on her back, and the boys looked to be getting ready. Gary, charged forward, running towards one of the beasts on his left. The teenager… was scared. Of course, he was scared, since he had no idea how much his Endurance would do against their nails that seemed to be sharper than knives. However, right now everyone was relying on him, and he couldn’t just stay shaking in his boots.

“Hey, assholes, look at me! I can’t even tell you apart now that you’ve gone bald! I thought you were supposed to be twins, how come one of you is uglier than the other?!” Gary shouted loudly.

Both of them turned towards him, and it looked like his taunt had been effective enough to get their attention. Meanwhile, on the other side, Kai held something in his hand, and threw it as fast as he could.

It was the small pocket knife he was usually carrying around. It hit the back of one of the beast’s heads and managed to penetrate the skin. Black blood could be seen falling from its head.

‘That reminds me about what those damn White Rose agents said… about these beasts. Is that why they’re attacking everyone?’

Unfortunately, aside from that light injury, it had only served to piss the beast off, making it shift its focus on Kai. It leapt towards the blonde teenager, whereas his brother charged at Gary.

The two boys ran away, in their heads wishing the other luck.
