Chapter 461 - Scouts, Sniper, And Tanks

Meanwhile, on a military base at the coast of South America...

"Abandon the base! Those werewolves have breached the main gates! We're all going to die!" The Commander of the base shouted as the werewolves tore into the facility. 

At first, only a single werewolf was rushing out and eating men and machines with their terrifying jaws. But soon, the men that were killed began to rise and turned into werewolves themselves.

The Exoskeletons could not kill the werewolves, who were now so strong that most of their bullets couldn't penetrate the hide of these beasts.

Outside the base, a group of Exoskeletons had surfaced through a hidden submarine.

The submarine was equal to the Pegasus ships that the WGP rode. Its cloaking techs were top-notched, and the journey it took to cross the continent involved a lot of help from Underwater cities and some Emperors of the WGP.

"That's... Amir!" A young man cried out in shock.

"Actually, it's Amir's son." Another corrected.

"That's right. That's the same werewolf who fought against Cliff. I'm guessing that now, it's feeding time. Amir should be nearby. But if you were to engage his son, I'm sure Amir wouldn't join."

"Are you sure, Halley?"

"Yes. Remember that Overcomers cannot interfere with the fights of their subordinates. So, are you going to challenge him?"

"Let's go. It'll be fun." A woman burst out of the sea and charged towards the base.

The Golden Exoskeleton had tremendous speed and immediately reached the base. She carried a sword and a shield and began to slice the head of the werewolves.

"... I guess we're going." Another youth chuckled as he charged towards the base.

The rest followed.

"Covenant! Move out! We're going to find and subdue the werewolf causing this. Titan moves ahead and starts saving people. We could use these survivors as allies who will help us in the future." The pilot of the gold Exoskeleton ordered.

Titan charged out and used his Scout Exoskeleton to move towards the inside of the base immediately.

The power of his Unlocking and the link between him and his suit began to increase.

In the months that have passed, Scouts have taken a new form. They had the highest perception of time, and their bodies had grown to the point that they could move at incredible speed. Their Exoskeleton armor was the weakest of them all, but they were trained to evade all attacks and not block at all. Titan was the first of the scouts and was trained by Richie himself. Speed and instincts took over, and Titan zoomed past the many werewolves.

The speed of the werewolves could catch up to a jet-propelled Exoskeleton, and their diverse swipes, bites, and claw attacks were close to the speed of sound.

But this was basic for a scout.

Titan charged through the many werewolves and was focused on moving the deeper parts of the facilities.

Titan had a dagger in one hand, and a small bracelet that released Typical's needles was on another. He stabbed and shot on those approaching while evading the rest.

As the werewolves felt the threat, it began to crowd at Titan, blocking the path.

Titan kept moving without hesitation. He knew that he would help him.

BANG!

The bullet shot through the jaws and claws of werewolves. Even though the speed of Titan and the werewolves would put most Unlocked to have problems keeping up, the sniper who went by the game-handle Asterisxx, was a different breed.

Through the power harnessed in Cliff's memories and Madison's time-stopping perception, Snipers could focus their perception and make time move so slow in a short time.

This would give him time to take aim and shoot.

BANG!

Another round shot out and cleared the way for Titan to move.

"John, I'm syncing Titan's video feed to you. Help him move deeper inside. Everyone else, don't rely on John's support for now." Halley ordered.

"Like we need it..." Dara scoffed as she charged ahead with Danny.

Her entire Exoskeleton began to glow with a strange light, and her suit exploded into several pieces that began to smash on the head of the werewolves.

The pieces all flew, leaving Dara wearing her masked synthetic attire remained.

The wolves pounced at her at the opening.

Dara raised her right fist, and a form of power that fused Realm and Origin power appeared. She punched down, and the entire ground underneath her exploded, causing the metal plates and rocks of the ground below to explode towards the leaping wolves.

BOOM!

The punch also created an explosive reaction that knocked all wolves back. Those at the very front were smashed into bloody pulps.

"So gory as ever." Danny chuckled as he moved forward with the burned bodies of the werewolves next to him. His two swords were on fire, but the flames died out suddenly. 

The flames were born from one fire technology that the WGP once banned. Hellfire Technology was now harnessed and combined with the Dalisay tech. As the path to creating Ranked Heroes was opened, Danny became the first to desire the experiment and could command Hellfire technology and actively create it using Realm and Origin.

The fires caused immense pain that the werewolves could not ignore, and it made the wolves scream and claw their own bodies in an attempt to be free from the pain.

"Whatever, fire demon." Dara ignored him and charged ahead.

As the cleanup of werewolves was happening outside, Titan was moving deeper and deeper inside, and the horrifying scenes of humans transforming into werewolves despite missing limbs were occurring.

Titan began to fight his way inside and would occasionally receive assistance from John, who would use curving and remote-controlled bullets.

Soon, Titan was able to reach the deeper parts of the facilities and saw a pack of werewolves facing off with the last Exoskeletons of the base.

A large werewolf among the pack could be seen.

"I have eyes on Amir's son. He's gotten bigger from when we saw him outside." Titan reported.

"Do not engage. Wait for us. We're just cleaning up the pesky dogs here! Danny. Get to the Comm Tower and knock that down!" The Gold Exoskeleton ordered.

"Roger!" Danny replied.

Titan heeded the gold exoskeleton's orders and sought survivors. He closed his eyes and used his ears to search for the sounds of a human cry.

"There!" Titan finally found the sound of gunfire, and many shouted.

Titan followed the sound and killed his way on the underground chambers of the base. Soon, Titan finally reached the areas of the base that activated a lockdown protocol. But while the gates were closed, a lot of gunfire could be heard.

The werewolves had somehow gained the intelligence to prevent the gates from closing. So it threw several Exoskeletons and sent their team to block the last closing gates and jammed the gears of the door.

"Hm? The werewolf virus is evolving. Scary." Titan shivered and didn't want to be a werewolf.

"You won't become a werewolf, Titan. We have Charles antidote, remember?"

"Oh right! So any luck with Charles, Miss Halley?"

"Shut up, Titan. And hurry up! We need as many survivors as we can save."

"Alright. But I'm rooting for you. His current wife isn't strong... so you know. She might die soon."

"Get moving, Titan!" Halley roared.

The last of the gates could not be closed as werewolves had charged in and were stopping the gates from closing in. So soldiers and Exoskeletons made their last stand as they kept on shooting at the incoming wolves. If this line fell, then they would all die.

Titan kept the dagger and brought out two swords.

"Ninja Mode. Activate." Titan commanded, and his suit began to change form. The suit began to allow Realm and Origin to gather around his hands and legs.

Finally, Titan charged forward, and with swift slashes, his swords slashed through the bodies of the werewolves that could survive a grenade launcher.
