Chapter 475 The Perfect Form
Chapter 475 The Perfect Form
Without learning how to enter into a hybrid state, Austin’s particular beast DNA had allowed the large teenager to enter his fully transformed state. Every once in a while, he would let out a big huff of hot air, and steam would come out of his nostrils. One such moment was exactly when he looked down on Ben Clove on the floor.
‘It’s as if this Altered form was specially made for me.’ Austin thought once more. As a Minotaur Altered his strength had gone up an entire level, and the best part about it was that there had been no need to change anything about his particular fighting style. ‘If Innu or Marie would have used it, I’d have certainly regretted it for life, but now I can help the gang defeat anyone who will stand in our way.’
As he slowly pushed himself off the floor, the Shark Altered tasted the blood in his mouth. Spitting it out, a few shark teeth also fell on the floor. The attack, which could have killed a normal human, merely dazed him. When he looked up at his opponent, he fletched his teeth, showing off that he had a full set again.
“You think you can beat me in one hit?” Ben asked. “You think I could have reached my current position if I was the type of person to give up at the first hurdle?! You were merely lucky, punk!”
Ben started to charge in, his movements were relatively slow as he pumped his foot side to side. When looking at him, Austin couldn't help but think he would have been far better off if this fight would be underwater. Right now, he was faster than a regular human but against his Minotaur form…
When the mayor got close, once again he spun his body along with his tail. This time, Austin didn't try to grab it, instead moved backwards just enough so the tail skimmed past him. Right then, using his strong hooves, he burst and charged in.
Seeing this, Ben had covered his face placing both hands there ready to brace himself. However, the punch had come from below as it hit him in the stomach and the sheer power lifted him in the air.
Trying to breathe and let in a breath of air, Ben dropped his hands from his face that was guarding him and the next second an overhand fist was planted in his face, sending him away and crashing into the wall.
Despite being an Altered, Ben felt the pain, as Austin’s hits were heavy and hard. By the time he had recovered, the Minotaur Altered was already standing in front of him. Desperate, the Shark Altered threw out a punch, but it was simply slapped away to the side, and a kick was felt in his stomach again causing him to lean on the floor.
After that, on the back of Ben’s head, a heavy hand was felt. “Since we’re both Altered, let me tell you that this form is truly wasted on you.”
“WHAT?!” Ben raised his voice, but let out a cough the next moment. He was still finding it hard to breathe, his energy spent, it was hard for him to even lift a finger at this moment. His fingers and toes were even starting to revert slowly, giving him the appearance of a half-monster.
“Did NIRV lie to me? I gave them everything because they promised me that this Altered form was special.” Ben mumbled to himself as he watched the chance happen.
“I don’t know about you being lied to. Anyone with half a brain would agree that this form is better than your average Altered.” Austin replied. “See, the problem is not the Altered itself, but the one behind it.
“The second we started to fight, I knew I had nothing to worry about. It’s obvious that you’re the type of person who has been doing things behind the scenes for his entire life. Always pulling the strings of others, but never directly involved. I’m sure that you thought becoming an Altered was enough for you to beat us.
“However, as someone who was never in a fight in his entire life, it’s impossible for you to bring out this Altered form’s potential. I bet even the lowest gang member with a somewhat decent Altered form could take you on. Thinking about how many people would kill to become an Altered, it’s truly a waste that you’re one.”
Still holding onto the back of Ben’s head, he then pushed it to the floor, breaking the floorboards before bouncing back.
“Hey, why did you kill him?!” Marie shouted. “We were meant to keep him alive.”
Austin’s form started to revert back, and he soon crouched down next to the mayor.
“Relax, he’s still breathing. He might be a waste as an Altered, but he still has the durability of one.” The teenager replied before turning to Kai. “By the way, I’m going to need a new mask. The inside of this one gets all wet after I transform.”
It was practically soaked due to the steam that would involuntarily escape his nostrils, the small holes only allowed for a little bit of air to come out.
“Sure, we can look into that, but first we have other things we need to do.” Kai stated.
In the room, everyone had dealt with the enemy at hand, all of them had been beaten to the degree of either passing out, or unable to get up off the ground. They were rolling in pain or just drained of all the will to fight again.
That's when Kai knelt down to the mayor. He lifted his head and unceremoniously gave him a big slap across his face. The shock made him regain consciousness.
“Look, your little plan failed.” Kai began. “Everyone was dealt with before you could even make your first move. You must have thought that with the Underdogs gone, you could take over, but you were dead wrong. Although we may be nice to the common folk, we don’t show the same courtesy to other gangs, especially not ones who plan to stand in our way.
Looking through his swollen eyes, the small body frame of the fox masked leader of the Howlers indicated that he wasn’t even fully an adult yet. With the others, it was clear that they were a bunch of teenagers, not counting Olivia, so he was wondering just where had it all gone wrong.
“Speaking of, I’ve been trying to play nice with you, but what did you do? You used your position as the mayor to spit on all my proposals time and time again. Do you have any idea how annoying and time consuming it was to fill out all of that stupid paper work, only for you to reject when you most likely didn’t even take a look at it?
“Well, that ends today. After today, Slough will change, but it won’t be in the way you wanted. The only thing we still have to decide is what your role in all of that will be.” Kai lifted his mask up slightly, allowing the mayor to see the giant maw and long tongue that was licking its lips.

MWS webtoon is at chapter 13! Also, for those who pay for Priv I wanted to suggest a cheaper alternative for MWS. My p.a.t.r.e.o.n is $10 per month for the latest chapter of MWS, the same point as on webnovel. There is also no need to keep paying for chapters, just one monthly fee and you get access to all the chapters.
It helps with months like this, where the chapter updates have been unstable. The P.a.t.r.e.o.n is just for MWS though no MVS. search JKSmanga.
