Zero instinctively felt that Lala's life was very weak, and at this moment, when danger was lurking in the unknown, he couldn't stay in the training ground for long. Therefore, Zero gently slid down from the blue ball rack. However, just as it was about to leave, a bizarre blue light suddenly appeared behind it.
Turning around, he saw a ball of blue colored ice flame!
Chapter 113 - Werewolf
In the darkness of the training field, the blue flame was very clear. Inside the ice flame was a gigantic wolf that was about the same size as Bryan. Each long hair emitted a blue light that jumped around, causing the huge wolf to appear as if it was shrouded in a ball of burning blue flames.
The giant wolf seemed to have just woken up. It shook its head and opened its right eye, which was as golden as zero. When the reflection of Zero and Lara's silhouettes reflected in its pupils, the giant wolf let out a roar. Following which, the muscles on its body began to tremble violently. As a result, the blue hair on his body swayed erratically like flames.
Zero heard the sound of bones growing and transforming, and in his eyes, this blue colored demon wolf suddenly stood up. Its upper body gradually straightened, and the muscles on its chest expanded, piling up to resemble the pectoral and abdominal muscles of a human. What followed was the deformed forelimbs, as well as the muscles on the forelimbs. The forelimbs rapidly transformed towards the arms of the humanoid species, but in the blink of an eye, a pair of long blue arms appeared before his eyes.
The claws of the wolf's limbs had also changed. They had become wider, and had formed five nimble fingers. However, the giant wolf's sharp claws were still on the finger.
As for the hindlimb, although it still kept the animal's anti-joint limbs, the broadened and lengthened palms provided the means for the giant wolf to walk upright.
A huge human wolf with long white hair on its chest stood up under Zero's watchful eyes. It only glanced at zero, and the broken hairs on its head suddenly lifted slightly. This was an extremely dangerous signal.
Without any hesitation, Zero immediately retreated. She held Lara in one hand and raised the pistol in the other.
"Everyone!"
Three consecutive shots were fired at the werewolf's forehead, chest, and abdomen.
The werewolf opened his mouth and roared. A circle of ice flame that could be seen with the naked eye suddenly bloomed. The M500 pistol shot out more than 3000 joules of kinetic energy, and the moment the bullet touched the ice flame, the bullet immediately froze. In an instant, the bullet lost its kinetic energy and fell to the werewolf's foot.
The zero pupils suddenly contracted.
The werewolf moved.
It was extremely fast. One moment it was squatting down, the next it had already disappeared from Zero's line of sight.
Almost at the same time, a loud thud was heard from behind him. Zero had no choice but to stop and look back. The werewolf had already jumped to the front door. A playful look flashed in its golden eyes. It stretched out its hand to wipe the door. A thick layer of ice immediately climbed up the door, sealing off the path of retreat.
Zero had already confirmed that the werewolf in front of him belonged to the intelligent species. This was the final value of the evolution of living beings, and that was to possess intelligence.
The reason why human beings are the long term of all things is because human intelligence is superior to other species. However, when other living beings began to possess intelligence, the advantage of humans would be gone.
For example, the werewolf in front of him had pulled Zero into a corner with a simple movement.
The werewolf's hands left the door and his arms shook. The strands of hair on its body no longer emitted a deep blue light, but blue flames that exuded an ice-cold aura soared between its two palms. In the heart of the blue flames, there was a dazzling white. He could imagine that if he were to be touched by this layer of ice flame, no matter what it was, he would instantly turn into an ice sculpture like that large door.
Zero quickly looked around. There were no stands in the Blue Ball training field, so the activity space was much smaller than in the competition hall. But their zenith is the same structure, made up of metal frames and plexiglass. For some reason, the glass ceiling of the training ground was covered with unknown pigments, blocking out the sunlight.
Just as he was observing the surroundings, the werewolf dashed forward, immediately creating an intermittent series of afterimages as he closed the distance between the two. Finry's wolf was already quite agile, and this werewolf that had just evolved was even faster. The right eye's mask silently cracked under the forced air pressure, and the right golden flame under the eye mask also ignited into a blazing flame.
The flow of time outside his body instantly slowed down, and the time spent on firing perceptual domain started to zero.
At a speed ten times faster than his consciousness, Zero could clearly see the werewolf coming at him with one hand. The ice flame surrounding the palm constantly changed. Due to the time slowing, Zero could even see that the moment the ice flame passed through the air, there were also ice crystals constantly appearing in the air. This ball of ice flame was comparable to Bryan's Absolute Zero.
The only difference was that Bryan needed to pay the price of his lifespan to activate the Absolute Zero, and looking at the werewolf state, the two balls of Zero Ice Flame seemed to be able to sustain for a long period of time.
This reminded Zero of Lara after her evolution. Whether it was Lara or the werewolf in front of him, these new generations of evolved humans seemed to be able to maximize the capabilities of their genes. For example, Lala's concentrated acid produced strong acid energy after its evolution; the evolution of this Finry's wolf, on the other hand, possessed absolute zero degree ice flame. The both of them had their abilities increase by leaps and bounds in terms of quality.
Knowing that he couldn't touch the ball of ice flame, he propped himself up on his legs and leaped up. However, it was as if he was in water, and the air was thick with resistance. Zero raised his agility to the limit, and it felt like he had broken out of the water. At the same time, the time in vitro was restored to a normal rate.
However, Zero had already jumped up a notch faster than the werewolf had expected. The explosive power of the fifth step caused Zero to suddenly disappear. When it reappeared, it was already high up in the sky. Following that, a muffled sound rang out from beneath his feet, and visible air shockwaves swept out in all directions.
With a wave of his hand, he shot out the remaining two bullets from the revolver. In the same precise trajectory, the two bullets fired at the werewolf at the same point.
Just as he thought, the werewolf once again activated his Ice Flame Force Field. The first bullet immediately froze, and the kinetic energy disappeared. However, the second bullet followed the former's trajectory, passing through the force field and continuing to shoot at the werewolf.
This was the second time the same shooting technique that had once shattered elemental field and killed Lafite appeared once again, causing the werewolf to feel surprised.
However, the Ice Flame Force Field seemed to be stronger and tougher than the elemental field, and this time, Su Yun was using an M500 which was also not a Colt. As a result, when the bullet approached the werewolf's body, it also stopped moving. The only difference was that it had slipped more than ten centimeters into the werewolf's body.
On the ground, a cold feeling came from his right leg. On the pants of the tactical suit, a layer of ice crystals was trying their best to climb up. Fortunately, this layer of profound ice was blocked by the tactical suit and did not come in contact with his skin for a while. With a shake of his leg, he shattered the tactical suit with purely the power of his muscles, causing it to fall to the ground along with that ice-cold force field.
Chapter 114 - The New King
He turned around and ran towards the wall of the training ground. At the same time, he used a ni
mble method to replace the bullets in the Drum with new bullets.
The werewolf also followed and chased after them. However, the werewolf that had been scared witless by the second company shot was clearly slower by a hair's breadth. He activated all the agility he could muster at the fifth step, running around the vertical wall of the training field at a speed close to the speed of sound. The werewolf also ran up the wall, but it couldn't run upright like zero. It could only run on its hands and knees, but its speed was no slower than zero.
Just like that, the wolf and the man ran around the wall. When they were only about five meters away from the ceiling, Zero used all its strength to push against the wall.
In midair, he fired five shots in quick succession, not at the werewolf, but at the inorganic glass above. The glass shattered, and the sudden burst of light into the blue court blinded the werewolves chasing after it. Having just evolved, its eyes were obviously not accustomed to the existence of sunlight. The werewolf, who had already pounced on the target, had no choice but to block the sunlight with his hands as his body fell.
When the thick soles of his feet touched the ground, the werewolf heard a series of explosions. He raised his head and saw a human figure rushing out from the top of the sky.
The werewolf roared and clenched his fist. The ice flame wrapped around his palm immediately retracted and formed a flame gun. Just as the werewolf made a throwing motion, the flame gun had already disappeared from his hands. When it reappeared, it pierced straight through Zero's chest.
Zero only had enough time to turn around before the flame gun flew past his left arm and disappeared into the sky.
He only felt a bone-piercing coldness boring into his bones like a poisonous snake, looking towards his left hand. Wherever the flame gun passed, the tactical suit would silently shatter into powder. On the arm, a wound that had been torn apart by a sharp weapon appeared, and the skin and flesh of the wound rolled to two sides. Ice blue color appeared on the skin and muscles, and Zero knew that this muscle had already been frozen to death.
The ice on his arm was trying hard to spread.
Zero gritted his teeth and continued toward the south side of the gymnasium. By the time the werewolf had charged out of the zenith, Zero was long gone.
The werewolf stood on top of the sky and let out a roar that could not even be hidden by the gunfire that was raging to the north. However, the occasional explosions and gunfire attracted the werewolf's attention. His golden eyes reflected the images of his compatriots falling to the ground. Ice flames ignited in the werewolf's hands once more as he charged towards the battlefield.
However, there was a familiar smell in the air that made it stop in its tracks. It sniffed with all its strength and the smell formed the image of Bryan in its mind.
The werewolf immediately followed the scent towards the source. Its body was huge, but very agile. Not a single crack appeared on the glass, even when it was less than five centimeters away. It walked towards the roof of the competition hall. The closer it got, the stronger Bryan's scent became, and the werewolf also smelled his injuries.
This caused the werewolf's speed to soar, and in almost an instant, he appeared on top of the sky in the middle of the competition hall. Through the broken glass, the werewolf saw a man's blade pulling out from Bryan's body. Shrinking his eyes, the werewolf let out a sorrowful howl.
Kazuo Watanabe took out the two meter long katana, the blade had pierced the heart of the Wolf King, although the Wolf King was still alive, Japanese swordsman was relieved.
This time's King Slaying operation had already ended. Without a doubt, the members of the King Slaying Squad were in perfect harmony with each other. With their cooperation, the strong King of Finry's wolf finally laid down. However, the members of the party were not without a price. The Tyrant Bear that Nessen had transformed into had already disappeared from his right arm, and in the midst of the fierce battle, he was hit by Bryan's freezing air.
The Savage Bear's right arm instantly turned into ice crystals, which were easily crushed by Bryan afterwards. If not for Nessen's prompt decision to tear his right hand off, he would have been frozen into an ice sculpture by now.
On the swordsman's chest and thighs, there were deep, bone-deep wounds. That was a masterpiece of Bryan's sharp claws. Even Jenny who was acting as an assistant and Zuma who was hiding in the shadows were both injured. Until now, I'm afraid only Sario, who has never shown up, has been unharmed.
After all, he was not directly involved in the battle.
Looking at the Wolf King who was gasping for air, Kazuo Watanabe raised the katana in his hand high up, preparing to cut off Bryan's head. However, the wolf's howl that suddenly came from above him had no choice but to give up on this idea.
The strong wind pressed down.
Kazuo Watanabe dodged to both sides at the same time.
In the next moment, the ground shook violently. An azure blue werewolf that no one had ever seen before stood in the arena. Everyone was dumbstruck, including George who was monitoring the entire process of killing a King from afar.
On the jeep, George looked at the screen of light on the tactical plate and cursed: "Damn, what the hell is this thing? Werewolf? "
In the gymnasium, the werewolf seemed to ignore the surrounding team members. It crouched down and used one hand to support Bryan's head.
When the Wolf King smelled its own kind, it opened its eyes with much difficulty. When it saw the blue werewolf, Bryan was pleased.
The New Wolf King was finally born, and it had evolved into a new form. This meant that the Finry's wolf's genes would be rewritten. After the New Wolf King, there would be more and more strong and intelligent beings like him, until the next round of evolution.
Only, Bryan still had one last thing to do. It suddenly let out a low cry towards the werewolf, and the werewolf's pupils violently contracted, showing a very human-like hesitating expression, then slowly shook his head.
Seeing the werewolf shake his head, Bryan let out an angry howl, as if he was blaming the younger generation that didn't understand anything. Then there were a few urgent shouts, as if urging the New Wolf King to do something.
The werewolf lowered his head, clenching one of his palms into a fist and slamming it into the ground. The ground immediately froze and began to spread. As for the werewolf, he roared out, and suddenly bit towards Bryan's neck.
When he felt the remaining life force in the artery of his neck rush towards the werewolf's mouth, Bryan finally relaxed and closed his eyes. This was the last thing it did for the New Wolf King. It would donate its own blood essence to make up for the genes in the New Wolf King that were not yet stable.
When the old wolf king's blood essence entered his throat, the werewolf's pupils contracted once again. But this time, an azure hexagonal crystal pattern appeared within his golden pupils.
The beheading team members were dumbstruck as they watched the werewolf absorb Bryan's blood. Only when the werewolf slowly laid down the soft wolf's corpse did they seem to remember something.
The first one to take action was Nessen, he was still in his Violent Bear Form, and directly struck out with his palm.
The werewolf was still crouching on the ground. He didn't get up, but he threw out a punch directly onto the Savage Bear's palm.
A blue spark flashed between the fist and palm, following which the Savage Bear's remaining left arm trembled, and countless lines of blood madly shot out from the tissue on its skin. The Savage Bear let out an earth-shattering shriek as its huge body toppled backwards. And under Nessen's feet, layers of cracks and piles formed on the ground, all the way towards the viewing gallery.
Looking at Nessen again, at the same time the Tyrant Bear fell, from the palm of its left arm, a hexagonal ice crystal extended all the way out, wrapping around the Tyrant Bear's body in practically the blink of an eye. When the Savage Bear landed on the ground, its crystallized body immediately exploded into a pile of debris. The re
latively complete head of the bear rolled all the way to Kazuo Watanabe's feet. Seeing the pair of eyeballs that were similarly crystallized on top of the head of the bear, Japanese swordsman was unable to suppress the fear that was rising in his heart, and he couldn't help but let out a loud cry.
At this moment, the werewolf slowly stood up. The hexagonal crystal pattern in his eyes extended to his entire pupil. From this moment, it, who absorbed Bryan's blood essence, would inherit the name of the King.
His eyes slowly swept across the King's Execution Squad. The first thing New Wolf King wanted to do was to kill all of these human killers who killed Bryan!
Chapter 115 - Killing
Kazuo Watanabe rushed towards the exit at the south side of the stadium like a madman.
Japanese swordsman's eyes were bloodshot, filled with fear.
Just five minutes ago, an overwhelming massacre took place in the competition hall.
The scene of Nessen being instantly killed deeply shocked everyone present. After a moment of silence, Jenny was the first to shout loudly.
"Retreat!"
As the Huntress screamed, her long fingers moved, and two or three laser arrows were shot at the werewolf.
Facing the laser arrow that could pierce through tactical armor, the werewolf merely raised his right arm and opened his palm wide. The moment the laser arrow approached it, the Ice Flame Force Field was released. The arrows seemed to have been shot into the water as they slowed down infinitely. Then, the absolute zero degree of the ice flame interfered with the energy gathering mode of the arrows, and the laser arrows disappeared into nothingness.
Jenny was a little dazed. This was the first time she had seen a living being use such a method to disintegrate her own attack.
