Saiber’s head was spinning, and he was feeling nauseous as he held onto both of his daggers and stared at the Ironfang Rex, all because of the special trait of his weapons.
As Saiber had stated, the weapons the Altered hunters had gathered weren’t regular weapons by any means. Just like how beasts were used to alter the DNA of humans to give them special powers and traits, the weapons were called beast weapons—made from the same DNA of the Altered.
The power granted to the A...

In total, the Altered backup members were relatively large. In the first place, there wasn’t a mass amount of members in the Altered Hunters, and in the first launch of attack led by Edvard, they had already used a significant number of their forces.
Still, with the fifty or so members, they believed that it would be enough of a backup to help the current Altered Hunters that were in their mess. An elite force of only high-quality members, apart from the three apprentices that were al...

Due to Gary noticing the Werewolves, all of the hunters were prepared for what was to come. They quickly moved, using their devices and striking those coming at them quite well.
Just like before, Saiber was moving swiftly, having ducked under two Werewolves' clawed strikes. Although they were fast, his senses for when the attacks were coming seemed to be on another level.
As he had ducked down underneath, he slashed both of them, leaving deep cuts on their bodies. He quickly stabb...

With the help of the other Altered hunters, Saiber’s group had finally landed just outside the port that led to the Garden.
Thankfully, one of the hunters was quite skilled and had previously been part of a crew, so he could direct the other hunters on what was appropriate to do, and it allowed all of them to arrive safely rather than a crash and ending up at the bottom of the sea.
As the ship pulled up, there was a small pathway in front of them that led to a restaurant by the ...

“What in the V crap is this!” Kim said in frustration, stomping her feet down on the ground a little heavier as they walked down the streets of Slough. Right by her side was Blackjack; the two of them had been tasked with working with the Howlers, ordered by the settlement.
And it was something that they couldn’t reject, as it was an order directly from the king himself.
“Will you calm down already? I know it’s a tough journey here. Do you think after how long I spent he...

Everything had been set up so the group was ready to move, even though they had suffered a loss, they were trying to go with the flow of the situation, ready to head to the Garden and deal with whatever would be inside.
Yet Kim had brought up not a small allegation, but a particularly big allegation.
“Wait, someone betrayed us?” a hunter asked. “What, so is there someone working with the Lupus group, maybe one of our connections?”
“No,” another Altered brought up...

Trixie and Kai were among the first people who had returned to the petrol station where the trucks were being kept.
The good news was, the guards that were there appeared to be unharmed, and it was the same with the trucks.
The Lupus gang had to still be unaware of the operation, or at least the real reason behind the operation.
A group that was confident in defeating its enemies regardless of equipment didn’t need to target the equipment in the first place.

The two hunters that were with Kim looked at each other in disbelief.
Could there really be someone that had betrayed the Altered hunters? But it was the only explanation that made some sense to them.
After all, they had only booked a hotel room; they had only been in it a few minutes, and it didn’t take long for them to arrive either.
Someone had to be watching them from the beginning. At least these were the thoughts running through their heads.

The Werewolf had busted right through the door, transforming after breaking the lock with its pure strength. It had entered far too fast for the hunter that was waiting by the door to do anything.
The female hunter was startled as she was closest to the door after the hunter by the side, but oddly out of everyone that was there, it had gone right past the hunter and reached out straight for Kim.
A claw swiped through the air viciously, and she had avoided the hit. The claws contin...

Out of the split in Trixe’s group, Kim was moving along with two other Alter members. One was a female, the other a male. Although now dressed in regular clothing, all of them still had a pretty straight face on, not changing expression.
This was the same for Kim herself as she continued to walk until they had entered the hotel. This hotel wasn’t very tall—it was around seven floors—but still had a large number of rooms due to its width and slight curve.
It was one of the ...

Chapter 11 A Stronger Connection.
It had been a long time coming, and Kyro felt confident about stepping into the world of Shira. After all, he had already encountered a beast in the real world, and judging by its size and ferocity, he was certain it had to be at least a Rank C creature. Although, he had to admit it was hard to tell without much reference to compare.
As Kyro started toward the forest Alex had mentioned, he paused, noticing something as he turned h...

After the pairings were decided, everyone went off on their motorcycles to the hotels that were spread out. The communicators were tested and they were all working well so there was no excuse if anyone ran into trouble or needed more help to be called.
Before leaving, Kim looked at Kai, almost a telling look to not mess anything up.
‘That damned woman, does she think I’m Gary or something? I don’t mess things up like him.’ Kai thought, as he continued to travel with Trixie...

The third group that was travelling with two of the trucks, was arguably one of the strongest groups of the three. Although Saiber had been made leader of this back up team, it was due to experience.
When one became a five star Altered hunter there were no other ranks above it. Which was why the actual strength between five star hunters varied quite a bit. It wasn’t as if they had some type of internal ranking either where hunters would go up against each other.
So even hunters ...

There was a clear panic in Cooper’s voice, and if the words had come from anyone else, then maybe Lou would have ignored them. None of it was making sense, they had come in through the front entrance just fine.
They had scouted the area and saw nothing and Pluto had even scouted the area ahead, Pluto’s body was found in the garden, so wouldn’t the dangerous area be inside and not outside.

The body that was on the ground, there was fresh blood on the floor. Only part of it had dried up, making it mean it was quite recent, so both Lou and the others were quickly looking around the area, to see if there was anyone else.
When they noticed no one and their mask’s picked up no one, he had quickly dragged the body on the floor and headed into part of the heavy greenery, he placed the body on the floor and then turned it over, and a short while later the other three had come o...

The way they were set up, it almost appeared as if those on the motorcycles were escorting the trucks. It was quite obvious that there was an important package, but the hunters didn’t care too much.
The hunters were aware that they had already been discovered in the city, they were there fo...

The hanging question that was bound to be asked. When Gary had pointed out the Altered’s before, Saiber had already confirmed that there were no changes in a person’s heat signature with his mask on.
So, if the Altered hunters and particularly a five star Altered hunter was unable to tell that these people were Altered, how could a complete amateur? When this happened, there was usually one good answer that people could lead to, and that was that Gary himself had to be working with ...

Saiber’s voice was loud and clear and travelled through the entire ship. His voice was demanding and commanding. It was strange because he wasn’t using an amplified mask or anything like that, just hearing him shout, was what Gary imagined commanders needed to be like on the battlefield.
Due to Saiber’s warning those that were on the top deck turned to the workers by their side. Some of them just moments ago they were talking pleasantly about their families or their trips and drea...

The current situation clearly didn’t look good for Gary, and even he knew that.
Thinking back on his life, he had been placed in a lot of tricky situations since he had turned into a werewolf, it just had been a while since he was placed in this one and he had to try explain himself out of it.
Opening his mouth though, no words came out, which he knew was making him even more suspicious.
“Is he dead!” were the first words that came out of Saiber’s mouth.

Gary knew Saiber had a disliking for him, but the truth was it wasn’t just him, all of the Altered Hunters did.
Blackjack had already warned them of this fact. Because he was an apprentice being brought along on a very important mission. Which was why he had been given the nickname rookie.
They thought there were others that deserved to go on this mission and feared Gary would get in their way. So they criticized every single action of his that fit the narrative they had built u...

Gary was sure of it, since his senses had come back, that the workers on the ship, they smelled exactly like other Werewolves.
Thanks to him using his spray they couldn’t smell him which was good, but due to the situation he needed to alert the Altered Hunters somehow and none of them would believe him due to his current position.

Saiber was huffing and puffing. Every one of the other Altered Hunters were still getting crates onto the ferry. Some of them in pairs of two, but the one person who wasn’t moving at all was Gary.
Walking over, Saiber continued to mutter under his breath.

The split in the group was evenly done between the 50 or so Altered Hunters.
In total the groups were travelling in large groups of around sixteen of them.
Usually entering a city like this, the Altered Hunters would completely disguise themselves.
However, things were different with this operation. The night sky was already out, it was close to midnight already.
There weren’t many that were to be on the street, and it was a straightforward operation. The Altered Hun...

Although three of the Botanic Gardens that had been taken over had somewhat been reclaimed by the Lupus pack, it wasn’t in the same state as they were before.
One of the reasons for this was because there was now no Ironfang leader taking control of each of the areas including the surrounding districts that they were in.
Werewolves belonging to other Ironfang leaders were occupying them and orders were being thrown all over the place.

They didn’t see anyone following them on the way in. There was no sign of an attempt of a break in.
