My Werewolf System

Chapter 1177  A Vampire Leader

The way the person spoke reminded Gary of someone of royalty. Even now when stood in front of him, they had a straight back and good posture and had weirdly introduced themselves.

“13th family, I don’t even know what that means?” Gary mumbled. “Is it the same as Werewolves or something. Is each number like a werewolf pack? If that is the case, then that means there’s at least thirteen of these!”

Just that thought alone was enough to send Gary into a downward spiral. Just how large were the vampires as an organization. A group that was certainly enough to keep Lupus busy, but then again not strong enough to get rid of them completely.

“Look, I don’t really care who you guys are!” Gary said, swinging his arm out. “But, you’re in my city, and you’re attacking me, if that’s the case, then I will do everything I can to get rid of you all.”

“Everyone!” Haylock shouted. “Stand back, this one is far too strong for any of you to deal with.”

The vampires that had followed Gary down and were on the ground quickly scattered and moved to the point they were quite a distance behind Haylock who had just arrived.

‘Damn it, there goes my quest fodder, I was trying to take them out as quick as possible, but now it’s going to be a lot harder if they’re hiding behind him,’ Gary thought.

That was until the system had given him a notification.

[You are in the presence of a powerful Vampire] [Quest update: Defeat the powerful vampire to complete Class upgrade or defeat 4/10 Vampires.]

‘I don’t know if that’s good news or bad news. On one hand, it’s not going to be a waste to fight this guy, on the other, the system is stating that this vampire is at least as strong as ten of them.’

“Let’s see how you deal with it all then,” Haylock said.

Gary had only blinked, and Haylock had disappeared and was now right in front of his face. It was different to when Gary burst with speed straight ahead. There would be markings on the floor, the ground would be destroyed from him pushing off, but there was no mark left, and it was almost silent.

Fists were thrown out at an incredible speed, and Gary was quick to block them all. He used the palm of his hand as he hit each of them away.

What Gary did notice, though, the hits they were incredibly heavy, to the point where, even blocking them, he was losing a part of his HP.

[-1HP] [-1HP]

‘Even though it’s a small amount of HP, it still shows how much it’s hurting me just from blocking this. This power is reminding me of Harvor somewhat…but still, it’s not as strong.’

[Partial transformation]

Gary then transformed his arms and grabbed onto one of the fists; he held it tight and firmly in his grasp. With his other hand wound up, he went to throw a punch until, just like the time before, he felt something wrap around the side of it.

He saw Haylock’s arm flinging to the side, and with it, Gary’s arm was flung to the side as well. Haylock had quickly moved away, breaking his hand, and then from both of his fingers, he pointed at Gary.

“Bang, bang,” Haylock said with a smile; two beams of red energy blasted out and went through the air like bullets. It hit Gary right in the stomach, and the shot was painful as it pierced through his skin.

[-20HP] [-20HP]

‘What was that again, that invisible wire that went around my arm…is he the one that’s controlling it. It’s almost like Olivia’s whip.’ Although with it being smaller, if Gary didn’t focus, it was almost impossible for him to see.

“Hmm, not bad, strength, physicality is there, but you aren’t thinking enough.”

Out from Haylock’s fingertips, several strings, like small fish lines, had shot out and wrapped around one of the street lights. He pulled it, digging it out of the ground, then wheeled it around his head, building momentum, before hurling it right at Gary.

Gary easily avoided the attack as he jumped to the side, but when he landed, he could feel it wrapping around both of his feet, and him being pulled from underneath. He landed on his back and was being pulled on the floor.

[Claw drain!]

Gary swung his hand by his foot, and the string that was attached to him broke off; quickly Gary jumped back.

‘Damn it, damn it, what the heck is that, he can shoot strings from his hands!’ Gary thought. ‘This guy, I don’t think he’s stronger than Harvor, but he has a large amount of versatility.

‘Fast, strong, has strange red blood powers, and on top of that, he can use strange strings. It’s making it harder to predict what he’s even going to do. The versatility is making it harder to fight him…let’s just see what he does so far.’

“What’s wrong?” Haylock asked. “Am I not doing enough for you to use your full powers. You haven’t even transformed into your Werewolf form. I didn’t realize that I was that easy to go against. Maybe it’s because you believe you have an old man in front of you, right?”

Gary was taking this anything but easy. Stronger in his Werewolf form was always less time, even if the night sky was out.

Haylock threw his hands forward, and it had wrapped around Gary’s forearm again; this time, he quickly used his fingernails to cut through the string.

“I’m a quick learner, and I’m just taking everything in,” Gary answered.

“Right…but you should know time is ticking,” Haylock stated. “Although I’m doing this, who knows what’s happening to the others right now.”

Those words immediately caused Gary’s heart to beat faster, and hearing that realization, he had made a choice.

[Full transformation activated]

‘I’ll get rid of this guy and head to the others as soon as I can!’
