Ajax knelt down there wondering about Enzo's current state. Darick told him eaeliee that a person who was in transition stage needs human soul to complete the transition and become a full crawler. Seeing Enzo features change from a good looking boy to a vicious monster,made Ajax wonder if Enzo actually killed someone or if this was part of the transition. Luna made her fighting stance,waiting for the strange human like creature to get closer. When Enzo was in striking distance,he let out a gultural sound before slashing out his claws towards Luna. Luna quickly leaped backwards to dodge the attack by hair length. 'Enzo's speed is now 3x faster than earlier,i guess the transformation is giving him some sort of boost.' Ajax thought while peeking at the fight. Luna saw another claws heading towards her chest at incredible speed,moving to left,Luna dodged the attack and sent out a punch to Enzo's left ribs.Bam!.Luna's fist connected cleanly and a loud cry of agony followed after.
In the dimly lit corridor, Ajax activated his Time Freeze, expecting everything around him to come to a halt for a span of four seconds. However, to his surprise, Enzo continued to move freely, as if the ability hadn't been activated at all. This left Ajax puzzled, wondering about the unusual occurrence.'Is he faster than the time freeze can hinder his movement?' Ajax pondered. He knew that if he used the skill on a regular Crawler, it would have been effective. So, why was Enzo's case different? Was he undergoing a transformation beyond that of a typical Crawler?[Time freeze deactivated][Soul points: 48/100]As the time freeze concluded, everything returned to its normal flow. For the first time in a while, Ajax had activated the skill without reaping its benefits.Losing ten soul points without utilizing it was a painful realization for Ajax, considering the effort it took to acquire them. If his soul points dropped below 30, the countdown to him going wild would commence, lea
The day was gradually growing dark, and the students who had already returned from the clash squad were asked to go to their dormitory to rest. Most of the students were fast asleep, while some were having a hard time.Raya was one of the students who couldn't get any sleep. She had been pacing up and down in her room, sweating and panicking.It had been three weeks since she made the deal with Jude Walker, promising to deliver the person responsible for Tommy Walker's death. At first, she found the deal easy, for she hadn't really gotten closer to Ajax and she practically owed him nothing, not worth risking her life and family for.But after Ajax stood up for them against the crawler during the clash squad, she found it hard to betray him. If Ajax hadn't intervened back there, everyone could have been dead by now.Beep* Beep*Raya's cube made a beeping sound, prompting Raya to check the new message she received. Glancing at the cube, her eyes read through the message, and her pa
The morning sun ascended, casting its radiant rays into the eyes of Ajax and Jeremy. The duo found themselves on the cold floor, their beds occupied by Luna and Enzo.Ajax swiftly rose to his feet, hurrying over to where Luna and Enzo lay. They were still deeply asleep."They're still unconscious," Ajax informed Jeremy, who hesitated to approach, fearing Enzo might be awake and ready to strike.But after Ajax confirmed their continued slumber, Jeremy let out a sigh of relief."So, what now?" Jeremy inquired. "We'll be called for the announcement soon. What do we do about them?""I have no idea. I suppose we leave them here and go about our business," Ajax replied, a worried expression etched on his face. He understood the potential danger if Enzo awoke and he wasn't there."If we leave them in here and Enzo wakes up before she does, won't he attack her while she's still asleep? And once he's done with her, he might escape this room and cause even more problems," Jeremy pointed out,
George and his fellow comrade arrived back at the Iron Claw guild headquarters and went straight to the leader's office to submit their mission reports."George, you're back," the female leader known as Katie Carson asked. She had black hair, a pretty face, and a commanding presence. Her guild uniform was distinct, marking her as the leader."Yes, ma'am," George replied. "When we got there, we discovered that the Crawler was already dead and no students were hurt." George explained, leaving nothing out."That's good. Sir Damien has already processed the job transfer, so you three will receive your fair share of Tokens," Katie paused, noticing something. "Where is Luna?" Katie asked."She's not here?" George asked back, wearing a confused expression. "We couldn't find her in the academy, so we assumed she had already returned," George explained."That's strange. Did she go through the portal with you guys?" Katie asked."No, we told her to stay behind and make sure the Tokens were tra
The students were asked to gather in the assembly hall regarding last night's incident. The Clash Squad area was supposed to be occupied by low-grade mutants since the students were still beginners.But not only did they encounter a high-grade Wild Mutant, but also a Crawler, which wasn't supposed to happen.Luckily, the students who encountered the high-grade wild mutant were able to take it out because their group consisted of three grade-four users. So, no one got hurt.Jeremy swept his gaze through the crowd until he finally saw the group he was looking for, and he approached them."Hey, guys," Jeremy greeted. Raya was currently standing beside Blex and Blue. The three seemed to have gotten closer after last night's encounter."What's up, man?" Blex replied, shaking Jeremy's hand."Where's Ajax?" Raya inquired, noticing Ajax wasn't in the hall with them.Jeremy was still yet to inform the group about the whole Enzo situation. He contemplated whether it would be wise to tell the
While Ajax was busy saving Luna's contact in his cube just like she asked,he began to hear groaning sound coming from the other end of the room. Shifting his gaze towards the area,Ajax saw Enzo waking up slowly. 'Darn it,he's waking up.' Ajax pondered while placing his cube back into his pocket and getting himself ready for anything. There was a probability that Enzo could launch in for an attack once he regains conciousness fully,so he had to be ready. Ajax thought of informing Darick since he was much more stronger and more experienced than he was. But Ajax hesitated after rememberimg Darick's words about killing Enzo to fix the problem. If he should kill Enzo,then the whole academy would be out seeking for his blood since Enzo was the son of Sir Samuel Sage. Ajax struggled to get out of the whole Tommy problem and wasn't ready for another similar case. Enzo finally regained conciousness fully and lifted himself off the bed. Enzo glanced around the room with a puzzled expressio
"JEREMY,GET OUT OF HERE!" Ajax alrted as Enzo began to charge towards Jeremy who still had no idea just what was going on. Jeremy was confused at first upon hearing Ajax's words,but after he shifted his gaze towards Enzo's location,he found him charging towards him. Enzo's body was filled with black furs and black claws and fangs were already visible. Enzo's speed was quite impressive due to him being a werecrawler,making his way towards Jeremy,but got speared to the ground by Ajax. "Go! Get Darick!" Ajax informed,struggling to hold Enzo down. Jeremy wanted to stay and help,but with what he was seeing now,he doubted his help would do any good. So he dashed out of the room to go look for Darick,leaving the two boys alone. Seeing Jeremy already left,Ajax released Enzo and rushed over to the door to lock it. "I can't let you leave this room,man." Ajax uttered,his fist clenched and blue aura began to form around it. "Even if it means i have to kill you." Enzo also rose up from the
