Chapter 296 - Underdogs Vs The Howlers
Chapter 296 – Underdogs Vs The Howlers
With all the Crazed altered dead and out of the fight altogether, it allowed Gary and Damion a second to catch their breath with the other Underdog members. The Grey Elephants didn’t quite charge in just yet because they were a little in disbelief.
Seeing what was a human chopping the monsters down limb from limb using his two axes, and on the other side, what was clearly an Altered in front of them.
[Quest complete]
[The infected Altered have been dealt with, and you have played your part in saving the town]
[Quest reward: Due to your contribution, you have received a pawn point!]
Although Gary was happy and the quest reward was unexpected, he had to quickly wipe the screens away because he had something else he needed to deal with. Soon, his eyes and Damion’s eyes met with each other.
Damion could see the narrow red eyes staring at him.
“Oh, and here I thought that I was going to thank you for helping me out, but it looks like that's not the case after all.” Damion smiled. “Tell me what I did? Did I get rid of your gang, kill someone dear to you?”
Saying these words were just making Gary angrier, Damion had never done that to him, but during his time at the Underdogs, he had undoubtedly seen him do or order these types of things with others. This was why Gary had to do all of this in the first place.
“Get them both!” One of the senior Grey Elephant members ordered, and they soon charged in from both sides. Almost immediately, Damion had swung his axes, hitting the first one right in the head, finishing him straight away, and was continuing for the next one.
There were also a few that had gone towards Gary; he dodged a baseball bat that was swung down and hit the floor, then threw a fist out of his own, hitting the man right in the face. The next second and what looked like a chain was wrapped around his arm.
[Controlled transformation]
Gary activated his skill, bulging his muscles and pulling on the chain, causing a man to fall on the floor and be dragged the next second. With the next one coming towards him, Gary pulled down his neck, as his movements were faster than the one attacking him, and he started to knee him in the stomach before throwing the man towards the ones trying to approach him from behind.
While doing all of this, Gary never looked away from Damion and continued to deal with those coming towards him. Heading step by step to the position of the other, he had his eyes on.
“Wait!” the senior Grey Elephant member shouted as he felt like he had noticed something. “Pull back.”
Giving the order, the others pulled back, and some even dragged their injured ones on the floor away from the fighting that was taking place.
“You, you're not after us, are you? You're here for him?” the senior member said.
However, this wasn’t true; Gary was there for both of them. He just never expected Damion to be in such a vulnerable situation, but perhaps he could use it to his advantage.
“Go ahead then; if you manage to beat him, it will only help us. We’ll make sure he doesn’t run away.” The senior member said, putting his hand up, indicating the others to stay where they were.
Of course, fighting between the other members seemed to be still taking place. It was clear that the Grey Elephants were not going to let them go but just wanted Gary and Damion to fight each other.
“Are you going to listen to what these guys have to say?” Damion shouted. “Haha, look at you all, look at how weak you all are. Rather than just face me head-on, you all planned to attack with these monsters, and now, you have come out, only when another attacks us, and you Grey Elephants are standing back and allowing this to happen! Fine, whatever it takes, make sure you really kill me because I will make sure that each one of you pay for this tenfold!”
“Damion.” Gary finally said. “Whether it's now or later…you were going to die anyway.”
The senior elephant member started to smile, as it seemed like his guest had agreed to the condition.

On the outer edge of the high street, where Tyler and the others were waiting as they watched the fight, they finally could see the police force arriving at the scene. Several cars had pulled up. Anton, along with his partner Roo, came out from one of the vehicles.
‘I knew I was right. There is more than just Billy and Kirk in this town that are Altered. It looks like one of these guys here is our suspect.’ Anton thought.
Yet, at the same time, the two White Rose agents came out from one of the other vehicles. The injuries that Frank had sustained had healed. Thanks to his unique body and some treatment here and there.
It was the reason why they were late after all.
“Well would you look at that, our little Altered hunter arrived here before us, and now he’s hurting civilians,” Saidie mentioned.
“Well, perhaps he’s trapped. All of the Crazed Altered have been dealt with.” Frank replied. “What should we do? Should we go in?”
“No,” Sadie replied, and Anton turned his head, overhearing this as well. “You should understand right, chief.” She smiled. “We came here because of an Altered problem. That problem no longer exists. What we are witnessing right now is just a gang war.
“Just patiently wait for all of them to take out each other, and then we will come in and pick up all the scraps.”
Although the method seemed underhanded, Anton agreed and radioed in to the police force on the other side, giving them the order not to engage. To not even let civilians out. This was because the Grey Elephants had dressed similar to the civilians, so for now, they would just capture everyone they could.
After making the call, Anton started to watch what was going on.
“That looks like Damon, so the Underdogs and the Grey Elephants have finally had a go at each other, but who are the ones in the black and gold?”
It was clear that the Black and gold members were a separate group because most of them were busy fighting off the Grey Elephant members, yet, the one with the strange mask was going up against the leader of the Underdogs.
‘I have a feeling this whole thing is going to be troublesome.’

Kate, along with her cameraman, had entered one of the buildings to the side. Convincing to let her in, she was now on the rooftop after climbing up a few stairs. Allowing them to film everything from above at a slight angle so everyone could have a look,
Gary and Damion were about to engage in combat and were seen in the middle, but the Grey Elephant members that had surrounded them started to move out of the way as they let someone through. Walking until the very edge, a large man could be seen.
“Well, now this is certainly interesting, isn't it,” Brandon said with a smile.
