Chapter 561 Red Axe

Without a doubt, ever since Austin had received his new Altered form, he had been considered the strongest, strength-wise, compared to the others. As a human, his strength was already unnatural, and as an Altered it was even greater.

He was able to lift things that even Gary or Olivia would have struggled with, which was why it had come to such a shock to see the Altered version of Austin to be whacked to the side of the room like so.

"Sh*t…Sh*t…Sh*t!" Innu was mumbling to himself, as he left Marie's side and had decided to join in the fight.

In his head, he thought maybe Austin and Olivia would be enough, surely since they were an Altered and a Werewolf, they could do more than him in this situation, but now it felt like they would need the help of everyone if they didn't want anyone to die.

"What are you idiots doing!" Innu shouted out. "We knew this Werewolf was strong, which is why we don't need to beat him. We only have two orders! To keep him here, and not die, so don't die!"

The words had been shouted out loudly, and with passion as well. The situation Innu was in now, reminded him a lot of the kids at the orphanage. He had lost them all back then, and now his new family, the Howlers, he didn't want to lose any of them either.

Activating the power in his weapons, they started to glow slightly red. Fueled by his emotions, Innu was drawing out the power from the special Anti-Altered weapons, and he was running right toward Midwak.

"Have I ever told you, I hate Werewolves!" Innu shouted.

Midwak swung the back of his hand, and at the right time Innu managed to dodge. He was already moving before Midwak, it was as if his senses were heightened and he could guess what Midwak's next move would be.

Otherwise, even with the boost of the weapons, Innu would never be able to dodge such a thing. The next moment, Innu swung one of the axes aiming to push it right into the Werewolf's stomach.

It cut through the skin, to both Innu and Midwak's surpise, and rather than trying to take another swipe at the young gang member, Midwak jumped back a bit and looked down at the cut made on his stomach, it was healing, but at a slightly slower rate than usual.

"That's not a normal weapon." Midwak stated. "Who would have thought that a gang like this would have such a weapon."

Innu wasn't charging in and striking like before, and his little act had given enough time for Austin and Olivia to recover from the damage they had received earlier. Just like Midwak, both of their forms had good healing capabilities as well.

"I never thought that your group would be more of a challenge than those Altereds I fought earlier. No challenge isn't the right word. You aren't stronger than them, you're just more annoying and persistent!" Midwak said, and when he looked to his left, he could see one of the Howler members was now standing all on their own.

"No… no!" Innu shouted, as he knew exactly what Midwak was planning to do.

Midwak was already sprinting towards Marie, who was standing far away, but even if she ran away now, it was certain that he would catch up with her. So instead, she took her crossbow out that was loaded with three bolts and fired.

One of the bolts had missed, hitting the floor. Midwak was running so fast and her hands were shaking non stop as well. Taking a deep breath she fired two more bolts. One had hit Midwak in the chest and another hit him in his shoulder.

The sparks started to light up, and blue electricity was sparking all over his body, yet it didn't slow down Midwak at all. Not like it did before when he was in his human-like form. In his full Werewolf form, he just took the hit full on.

Innu was desperately running after Midwak but could never catch up to his speed.

'It was my fault, I left Marie, when I was meant to be by her side protecting her. If she gets bitten, or hurt now, it will be because of me. How am I meant to face Kai and Gary after that?'

Knowing he wasn't able to reach, all of his energy and power felt like it was being drained out of him at that moment and was going into his axe. Innu didn't know what was happnign or why, but a desperate action caused him to throw it through the air.

The axe spun multiple times, speeding up, as it continued to glow red, and went out like a bullet. Midwak was close to Marie but still out of reach, when the axe landed right in the back of his calf.

"AWO!" Midwak let out a little howl of pain. Unlike the last blow, the axe was lodged in pretty deep. It nearly caused him to stumble, but MIdwak had caught himself with his arms.

At the same time, Innu was huffing and panting, using the axe like that, whatever it was, had taken a lot of energy out of him. He was covered in sweat even though all he did was hurl the thing.

"That won't stop me!" Midwak said, as he got up, and started to walk towards Marie. She was now holding her spear and attempted to stab Midwak, who grabbed it and threw it off far and to the side.

"I didn't want to kill you, but there are plenty of talented humans that I can turn." Midwak lifted his hand, and swung it right at Marie's face. She could see the claws coming right at her. She attempted to move her head, but it was moving far slower than the hand.

As the clawed hand came closer, the finger nails had skimmed her cheek, leaving a cut, and she could see Midwak on the ground.

'Did he slip?' Marie thought, as her life was just saved.

Midwak looked at his leg and could see that there was something wrapped around it. It was black in colour like a rope, but it wasn't a rope, it was a whip, and on the other end of the whip, Olivia could be seen.

Olivia was in her full Werewolf form, she was pulling on the whip. However, her strength alone wouldn't be enough to pull Midwak, that's why, at the very end of the whip doing most of the pulling was Austin.

After using the whip to wrap it around Midwak's leg, Olivia quickly gave the handle to Austin, and wrapped it around his hand for stability. Olivia then went further up on the whip and both of them pulled at the same time, just in time.

"You were right." Olivia said to the tired Innu. "We were trying to beat him before, when we should have just been buying time like you said. We understand our job now."

From the corner of her eye, Olivia could see something, and that was Gary, who was chowing down on the Altered.
