Chapter 62: Small Misunderstanding II

Sid caught the blade just before it made contact, the sharp edge cutting into his palm, but his thick hide protected him from serious damage.

With a grunt of effort, Sid wrenched the blade out of Liam's grip and tossed it aside, swinging his massive arm in a wide arc toward Liam as he growled.

"You're going to need more than that."

This time, Liam was prepared. He crouched swiftly, evading Sid's swing effortlessly, and countered with a precise punch to Sid's abdomen.

"Seriously? Is that the best you can do?" Liam jeered, a smirk playing at the edge of his lips as Sid stumbled backward.

Sid reeled back, momentarily breathless from the impact, yet he sensed a change; his attributes appeared to be improving at an accelerated rate than usual.

He even felt unable to control the transformation as his rage escalated rapidly.

This is a special ability of the Blood Rage Bear, which he acquired through beast transformation, which enhances his attributes as his anger grows during the transformation.

However, there is also the side effect of losing control when one becomes too angered.

"Why is this jerk getting stronger?" Liam on the other hand quickly noticed the change in Sid, but he was determined to keep his advantage, unleashing a series of punches at Sid's side, each blow landing heavily on Sid's sturdy frame.

Yet, he was still unaware that it was his own actions, or more precisely his talent, that was fueling Sid's anger, consequently amplifying his attributes.

Sid's reaction was swift. "Hahaha, not bad," he grumbled, his voice deepened further as he slowly began to transform into a full bear, seizing Liam's punch right out of the air.

"But it's not enough!" he declared. In a fluid motion, he twisted Liam's arm behind his back and flung him down, the force of the impact rippling through the ground.

Liam hit the ground hard, the impact rattling through his bones, but he rolled to his feet quickly, wiping blood from his lip, ready to distance himself.

"Fuck! You're strong, I'll give you that," he spat, "but you're still just a big, angry brute. All that power and you're still too slow."

Sid flexed his massive arms, feeling the raw power coursing through him.

"You're not too shabby yourself, for a little guy," Sid sneered, catching Liam by the collar and lifting him off the ground.

"But it should be over soon."

Sid crossed his arms, eyeing Liam with a mix of suspicion. "You fight well... for a gang member."

Liam smirked, dusting off his clothes. "I'm no gang member. Just happened to steal their hoverbike."

Ram chuckled, the tension finally easing as he patted Sid on the shoulder.

"Looks like we've got some catching up to do." He turned to Liam, his expression softening. "Come on, let's head back to camp. You can fill us in on what's going on."

Liam nodded, finally letting his guard down. Little Black barked happily, jumping up to lick Liam's face as they began walking back toward the camp together.

Ram, upon witnessing this, was somewhat surprised by the Little Black; he was aware of Liam's fastidiousness in choosing his pet.

He still recalled the days they spent searching for the perfect pet before being captured by the Shadow Society.

Intrigued, he promptly used his Spiritual Eye to identify its attributes.
