Chapter 1022 He's Still Alive?

Little did Gary know that him completing the quest at that moment and receiving the rewards had practically saved his life.

The Last Stand skill had been used a number of times before when Gary was in a tough situation, and it allowed him to best his opponents.

He had used it when he first went up against Olivia, and further used it when fighting against Midwak as well.

However, it was a skill that needed to be activated. When activated, Gary could receive as much damage as possible and still have some HP left.

As it leveled up, though, the Last Stand skill had grown stronger.

In one case, while using Last Stand, Gary would also have an unlimited energy pool to use, allowing him to use skill after skill during that time.

Using this along with his Claw Drain, it allowed him to regain a large amount of health.

Now that the Last Stand skill was at its max level, it had another effect.

If the user was unable to activate Last Stand in time and detected a hit that would cause death, Last Stand would auto-activate.

This is exactly what had happened when Gary had been hit by Harvor. It wasn’t Gary who had activated the skill, but the skill had activated itself, leaving him with 1 HP and saving his life.

Still, there was a drawback, and that was if the skill self-activated, it would only save the user and would not work the way it usually worked. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now Gary had no chance to use the Last Stand skill, and it had deactivated an instant after the hit had been delivered.

“How does it feel? The person you had put all your hopes into is now dead!” Harvor claimed.

Xin’s eyes were sparking, and her body was still in its transformed state. Tears had already filled her eyes, and she was ready to dash forward.

Regardless of the sparks coming off her body, it was Jayden who grabbed onto her, now more so standing on his own feet.

“Xin... I don’t want to lose you too. I don’t want to lose you to that b*stard! I know you’re a smart girl. You should know you can’t face him...”

Jayden was biting his own bottom lip. After finally seeing the Altered form and a fraction of Harvor’s real strength.

If he had known there was no chance for him, and if he had known the situation would unfold into this, then he would have never attempted this.

‘Was I so wrong, though, to attempt to get my revenge, to just get some damned type of justice for her...’ Jayden thought.

‘But now, I’ve ended up dragging people that care about me, people that don’t even know me, into all of this, and all of them will be taken down with me.’

Jayden was tensing his fist. He had gained back some of his strength. His special Mythical Altered form did allow him to heal somewhat quicker compared to regular Altereds.

But he was nowhere near in the condition to fight like he had before, but he wondered if it would be enough to let the others escape.

While still surrounded, and with no one left to even face Harvor, they were all at a loss of what to do, until one person stepped forward.

“You idiots, can’t you even tell? Your friend, he’s still very much alive,” Ylva said. “But I suggest that you get to him as fast as possible.”

“As for this one... I think you haven’t been paying enough attention to me.” As Ylva said those words, her two shirtless guards had come by her side, and they started to transform, along with her.
