After throwing aside the heavy manhole cover, several werewolves stealthily emerged from the sewer opening.
Especially Michael, the human they were carrying, whose white intern coat was stained black with sewer grime, looking as if he had just escaped a coal mine disaster.
"Quick, go find a car first."
"Don't worry about anything, just smash the windows open. We need to leave here first. We can't let the blood clan find us. After they realize they haven't found us, they'll surely start searching through surveillance and frantically looking for us in New York City."
Having just climbed out of the sewer,
Werewolf Leader Lucien instructed his werewolf subordinates. Fortunately, several cars were parked nearby in the alley.
Without hesitation, the werewolves approached the cars, raised their fists, and prepared to forcibly open the car doors.
"Bang, bang, bang—!!!"
Loud thuds echoed.
Fists slammed hard against the car windows. The window glass was of good quality, taking more than a dozen punches before finally shattering.
And these werewolves' fists were even better. Because they could recover from injuries, they weren't afraid of pain at all and just kept smashing with force.
"Wait..."
"You can smash the door with something hard, like a stone or an iron rod. Doesn't it hurt to smash the car window so hard?"
At this very moment,
A sudden voice rang out.
The two werewolves busy smashing the car windows didn't react, thinking it was their leader speaking, and didn't pay much attention. Instead, they even raised their bloody fists and answered carelessly:
"Boss, have you forgotten?"
"We are werewolves! How can werewolves be afraid of pain? No matter how hard we smash, it's fine. The wounds will heal anyway. Wait... Was that not the boss's voice just now?"
While muttering to themselves,
The two werewolves belatedly realized that the person speaking to them was not their boss, but another man's voice.
Thinking of this,
The two werewolves quickly turned their heads and immediately saw a large black figure standing silently on the roof of a residential building on one side of the alley, watching their car-smashing performance.
That huge black figure
was the body of a giant wolf.
Its entire body was covered in thick, snow-white fur, and its physique was as sturdy as an adult tiger, no... even larger.
It had glowing blue eyes, and its four limbs were very robust, not slender at all, but as large as a felines' paws.
This made them, being werewolves themselves, very confused. What did this giant wolf mean? How could it be stronger than them?
"..."
"First-generation werewolf?"
And Werewolf Leader Lucien, upon seeing the White Wolf, immediately looked incredulous, mumbling to himself.
Giant wolves of this size were not non-existent, but they were already extinct. This was how it was when the werewolf progenitor William first infected ordinary humans.
First-generation werewolves could not transform back into humans.
They ran on all fours like ordinary wild wolves, but their bodies were several times more robust than ordinary wild wolves.
Just like the White Wolf in front of him. And it was only after his mother, a first-generation werewolf, gave birth to him that all of this changed.
The wild wolf gave birth to a human infant.
Lucian, who slowly grew up, became a robust human male, and the humans he bit and infected became second-generation werewolves.
Second-generation werewolves could transform into both human and giant wolf forms, and they could stand upright on two legs, gradually approaching a beast-man transformation.
Therefore,
when he saw the White Wolf in front of him,
Lucian mistook it for a first-generation werewolf. But unfortunately, the White Wolf was not a first-generation werewolf, but a White Wolf infected with the T-Virus.
Its large size was also due to the enhancing power of the T-Virus and had nothing to do with first-generation werewolves. However, if Lucian could make werewolves have two forms,
then he could indeed try to study it. Who knows, if the White Wolf swallowed Werewolf Leader Lucien, it might even evolve into a human form!
"Who are you?"
"Blood clan or human—?!"
Facing the suddenly appearing giant wolf and humans, Werewolf Leader Lucien and his werewolf subordinates quickly questioned them loudly, their eyes filled with killing intent, as if they would immediately act once they confirmed they were enemies.
Besides the White Wolf,
two humans stood beside it: one male wearing a blue-black trench coat and holding a long katana, and the other a female.
She wore the black and white attire of a nun in a church. Because of her excellent figure, she not only lacked any solemnity but instead appeared exceptionally seductive. These two, of course, were Javier and Lisa.
They had arrived in the New York residential area streets much earlier. After discovering the fierce gunfight in the apartment
and Werewolf Leader Lucien escaping with the hostage Michael from the back window of the apartment, Javier and Lisa had tracked them all the way here.
Compared to werewolves,
Lisa possessed stronger senses of smell and biological perception, as this was the extraordinary power of the virus.
Therefore, even with the sewer's obstruction, Lisa could still accurately pinpoint their route and location, which is why she had chased them here.
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!!"
And facing these two strange humans, the werewolves' first reaction was undoubtedly extreme vigilance and aggression.
They immediately bared their fangs and prepared to drive Javier and Lisa away, attempting to deter and dissuade them with roars.
"We mean no harm. No need for such fearful barking."
"And barking is useless. Hand over the human you have to me, and we might let you go."
Facing the werewolves' snarling warnings,
Javier quickly raised his hands to show he wasn't agitated, and at the same time, pointing at the hostage Michael carried on Lucian's shoulder, he calmly demanded him.
Meanwhile, Lisa's blood-red eyes were fixed on the two werewolves in front of her. She could sense that these two werewolves were very weak.
They were not high-energy life forms. If she wanted to, she could instantly make the werewolves in front of her vanish into thin air!
"Kill them—!!!"
However,
upon hearing that Javier and Lisa's target was actually Michael, the human on his shoulder, Werewolf Leader Lucien's expression immediately turned ugly, and he instantly ordered the two werewolves in front of him.
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
Without hesitation,
the two werewolves, upon hearing the command, quickly entered a berserk state. Their clothes were rapidly torn apart, and thick, dark fur grew wildly.
It was as hard as a porcupine's quills, muscles rapidly expanded, fangs were bared, and in a blink of an eye, two massive werewolves appeared.
They opened their blood-soaked mouths and sharp claws and fiercely lunged towards Javier and Lisa.
But without a doubt,
this action was simply seeking death...
"Roar...!"
Seeing the enemies attacking,
the White Wolf beside them also directly opened its blood-soaked mouth and sharp fangs and lunged forward. Its newly evolved sharp claws were full of power.
It showed no fear facing an upright werewolf. The opponent had regeneration, and it did too, and the T-Virus's regeneration was stronger. In a short while, the White Wolf began to entangle with a black werewolf.
One werewolf was stopped,
but the remaining werewolf was not, still charging directly towards Javier and Lisa. However, what awaited it was Lisa's ultimate female boss-like death penalty.
Her crimson eyes merely glanced at this werewolf, and a huge pressure instantly swept over it. As if time had stopped, this werewolf instantly felt its body out of control and unable to move.
And the next second—!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!"
"Pfft..."
Extending her palm,
a Plaga parasite tentacle immediately shot out from Lisa's palm. The front was a hardened black-gold head, like a sturdy drill.
It immediately and swiftly pierced through the werewolf's chest, hanging it firmly in mid-air. A large amount of fresh blood flowed down the Plaga parasite tentacle.
"Pfft... Boom—!!!"
However,
something even more terrifying happened.
The pierced berserk werewolf began to burn with purple flames from its chest. The flames were intensely hot, furiously scorching the werewolf's corpse.
Even from a distance of over ten meters, Werewolf Leader Lucien began to feel the scorching heat emanating from it.
And in just under ten seconds,
a giant beast body, nearly two meters tall, was incinerated. Bones, fur, even ash was not left behind, as if it had vanished into thin air.
One must know... even a living human body thrown into an incinerator takes half an hour to burn completely, and even then, bones are left behind...
Chapter 38: Three-Way Conflict
A living werewolf subordinate,
in front of Leader Lucien, was incinerated in less than ten seconds. Nothing was left on the ground.
Not even a trace of ash, as if it had been directly burned and evaporated in the air.
Werewolf Leader Lucien looked somewhat dazed at the gradually extinguishing purple flames, a look of horror appearing on his face.
That was a power that did not belong to this world. As Werewolf Leader Lucien, he could be certain.
Because even a blood clan elder like Viktor would never possess such immense power. The disparity between them was simply too great.
But the question was...
Who exactly were they?
"Howl..."
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
At this moment,
the White Wolf beside them had also finished its battle. Its thick, snow-white fur was now covered in a large amount of blood, staining it completely red.
And beneath the White Wolf lay the corpse of a berserk werewolf, its entire head bitten off.
But the White Wolf did not like to eat such bloody food.
Apparently, by following Javier, it had also learned to maintain its cleanliness and would not casually eat bloody food. It preferred jerky and cooked food.
It had directly transcended the realm of a wild beast.
It bit off the werewolf's neck, then threw it aside and returned to its original spot, looking very much like a loyal guard.
As for how the White Wolf dealt with a berserk werewolf that was even stronger than itself, it was mainly because the White Wolf was daring and willing to fight. The difference between the two was actually not significant; the fight primarily depended on whose recovery speed was faster.
And from the current results,
it was undoubtedly the T-Virus's recovery speed that was faster.
Facing the werewolf's attack, it directly chose to go all out, without any intention of probing.
It chose to expose its body and engage in close-quarters biting.
It aimed its sharp teeth at the werewolf's most fatal throat. In the mutual damage, the werewolf's recovery rate was not as fast as the White Wolf's.
Naturally, its throat was forcibly bitten off, directly ending what was expected to be a prolonged battle. It seemed that after the mutation and infection, the White Wolf's intelligence had not decreased; it remained smart and agile.
