My Werewolf System

Chapter 888 Blackjackʼs Position

Blackjack hadn’t gotten involved just yet. He was true to his word when he said that he was observing the situation. The last time he had fought with the Warden, she had done the same thing but had played with his mind a lot more.

He had constantly attacked her and was fighting against her, and each time he would do a significant amount of damage, then the Warden would just heal it up. After that, she started to use the second power of her horn, the lightning power that would appear all over her body.

Her body was hard to even touch because of this, and her speed, strength, skill, everything seemed to increase at the same time. In the end, Blackjack had no way of defeating her, but there was one thing that was clear.

A great amount of her strength was from her Altered form, which was why Blackjack thought it was a great opportunity to have Gary here. The issue was after watching her for a while, Blackjack had figured out something.

‘It’s hard to believe, but the Warden has gotten stronger compared to our fight from last time. Itʼs hard to believe, and in the meantime, I’ve just been withering about in this place… have they forgotten about me?’ Blackjack thought.

With this in mind, there was no choice, all he could do now was join in the fight and come up with an opportunity to fight.

“Let’s get the most annoying one first.” The Warden exclaimed and sparked moving from her position. The person she was aiming for was Ice.

However, Gary had lifted his hands both above his head and blocked the punch. At the same time, Ice somewhat knew this was going to happen and went to swing his club to hit her.

However, she had moved to the side and zapped away again. As this occurred though, there was one person already waiting for her.

“Did you forget that there is someone that can keep up with your speed!” Blackjack said as he went to swipe his hands. As he did, a large pulsating red power left his hands and hit the Warden.

The attack cut up the ground similarly to Gary’s and pushed her even further than that. Landing on the floor, Blackjack moved in and threw several cards out that were covered in the same red energy.

Before they hit the Warden though, lightning came out from her horn and exploded out from her body, stopping the cards from piercing her and falling onto the floor. However, at that moment, Gary had latched onto her position and held onto her from behind.

[Your body is continuously being struck; your health is decreasing by the second.]

Gary tightened his grip around the Warden harder than ever.

“If you can get rid of the Ice, then we’ll just have to come up with another plan to keep you still!”

Right then, Ice swung his club as hard as he could and hit the Warden straight in the stomach. The blow was extremely heavy that it lifted both Gary and the Warden off the ground.

The strange lightning powers had increased, and Garyʼs body was no longer reacting how he wanted it to, forcing him to let go.

His transformation was acting slightly weird as well as it was reverting back. As he fell to the floor, he felt like he had more control of himself.

[175/300 HP]

‘I’m not extremely low on health; I can still fight, but the lightning it’s also draining my energy as well. This fight is proving tough even with all three of us.’

Ice was trying to follow up with more attacks, but the Warden had already moved away, and in the middle of moving away and wiping her mouth, the horn was glowing once again, healing her body completely.

“What is going on, she’s standing again like nothing has hit her!” Gary complained and was frustrated. “Does her power never run out?”

“When I went against her, this was the problem that I had as well,” Blackjack said, appearing by their side. “In this sense, no matter how lucky I was, I still wasn’t able to best her.”

This was Blackjack’s worry: did the Warden’s power even run out? They had to fight as if they assumed it didn’t, and now he had nothing else he could do but one thing: rely on Gary.

“You need to bite her,” Blackjack whispered. “If you want to win this fight and take this person out, then you need to fully transform and bite her, and that will take her powers away.”

Gary was a bit stunned… he could take her powers away? From a bite, if he remembered Midwak had stated something similar, but it wasn’t a permanent ability. The thing was, how would Blackjack even know that?

“What are you… how?” Gary was a bit stumbled and was thinking back to the powers he had seen him use so far. There hadn’t been a single transformation from him. His body features hadn’t changed, but when he sensed his power, there was a strong urge in him.

“I know what you are, Gary, and I confirmed it when you bit Stinger before. You can take away her powers, and we can live to fight against her another day. She won’t kill us; that’s how confident she is in her own strength. We have to be smart about this,” Blackjack answered.

Waiting, though, wasn’t an option for Gary. Even if he bit her and she lost her powers later on, it would mean even longer for them.

“As for the question you asked as to what I am, I am a member of the Fortuna Family. A knight of the 9th family!” Blackjack answered as he started to unleash his power; his eyes were glowing more, and his teeth were elongating.
