Chapter 916 Turning Up The Heat
“Hey, Gary Dem, he wasn’t always this strong, right? I mean, come on, we all know about the Kings, especially Sin; we’ve seen him destroy entire gangs on his own.”
“Of course, Sin is strong. Didn’t you see how he just wrecked all of those people before? He took on four Altereds at once, and none of them were weak.”
“Then, would that just mean that Gary Dem is stronger?”
“They say prison changes a person; maybe he went crazy because of how many people tried to stick a hot dog in him.”
“Hot dog.”
“Hot diggidy dog.”
“Forget the hot dog comments for a second, what happens if Gary Dem wins this fight… does he become one of the new Kings?”
The comments continued to flow from the live stream at the appearance of Gary Dem. To the viewers, he was someone who was shrouded in great mystery. A man who had come with great potential in the AFC, and then left it just like that. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
No one knew why, and not many people tried to look into it. That was, until his name hit the news again, for the second time. Televised all over, stating that he had been locked up for a gruesome crime.
No one knew why, and not many people tried to look into it. That was, until his name hit the news again, for the second time. Televised all over, stating that he had been locked up for a gruesome crime.
However, the memories of what he had done in the news report, helping the people of his town, didn’t fade from people's memories, and now they were seeing him do the same again, with his overwhelming strength; they couldn’t help but root for him against Sin, who had always been seen as a big bad in the public eye.
“Let’s move,” Kai said. “The way we are now, where we can’t even transform, we’re just going to get in Gary’s way, and I wouldn’t put it past Sin to start using everyone as hostages if he loses this fight.”
“Don’t tell me what to do,” Midwak said, his mood seemingly more sour than before. “I was already walking away; I know when I’m useless.”
Walking off, both Midwak and Kai couldn’t help but look in the direction of where Gary was staring, where Sin had been hit. They knew the fight was far from over, and their sensitive skin could feel heat rising from that specific direction.
“ARGHH!” Coming out from the torn wall, a shadow of Sin could be seen, the large cut that was across his chest was burning brightly through the darkness, lighting up. When he stepped out, the flames started to dwindle on his chest, and the claw marks were no more.
However, Sin's body transformation had changed once more. His wings on his back were still twice the size they were before, the red feathers that covered his legs flames were burning on them intensely, and now feathers had appeared on his hands up to his elbow.
The feathers covered in flames looked like his body was made out of flames themselves.
“You’re really starting to piss me off!” Sin shouted as he swung his arm in a circle. The flames lingered in the air, making a floating ring of fire, and he then punched the ring of fire, sending it forcefully out.
It was the same ring of fire that had hit Blake and Innu, taking them out, but this time it was coming out a lot faster than before.
Seeing this, Gary swung his hand using the Claw Strike once again. His attack going through the air hit the ring, and both of them lingered in the air for a moment before the strike disappeared, and the ring of fire disappeared as well.
‘That Claw Strike was at level 2 now that the night sky was out… and he now has the strength of his fire and able to block it out?’
A smile appeared on Sin’s face, and making several rings in the air, he started to punch them right at Gary.
‘If my Claw Strike can’t stop them, then I’ll just avoid them all!’ Gary jumped to the side, the ring of fire missing him. He continued moving closer to Sin, avoiding each of the strikes.
When he was ten meters away, it was hard to avoid, but Gary didn’t care, as he charged right ahead through the ring. When it came close to him, he swung both of his arms through the ring of fire.
[-10 HP]
[984/1000 HP]
‘With my endurance and new HP, I don’t have to worry about getting hit!’
Now right on Sin, Gary swung his claws, but Sin was faster than he expected with his arms filled with flames. He blocked the hits with his forearms, and although claw marks could be seen, there was no blood or wounds at all.
Gary, seeing this, decided to change, and rather than using his claws, he started to use his fists. He was punching Sin as much as he could, who was blocking most of the hits coming his way.
“Do you think I didn’t know how to fight and just relied on my power? There is a reason why I’m one of the Kings!” Sin said as he made a ring of fire while blocking an attack and hit it forward, hitting Gary in the stomach.
[-10 HP]
[976 HP]
He had been losing HP every time he slightly made contact with Sin, but it wasn’t by much, and the attack hardly affected Gary.
Going for a Claw Strike just before he had hit.
[Lethal Pounce]
Gary moved in the air, changing position three times, before he had managed to hit the center of Sin’s body.
Gary had hit slightly upward, lifting him up on his feet, and continued to throw a flurry of punches, but each time he was lifted, Gary made sure with one of his hands to hold him so he wouldn’t go flying in the air.
Then pulling him forward, Gary used his leg and kicked him up high in the air. Using his legs and bending his strong thighs, Gary jumped up in the air, and with both hands slammed them down, sending Sin right into the ground.
Like a flaming arrow descending from the sky, his body crashed into the ground, bending the buildings on the side slightly inward.
While Gary was falling from the air to the spot Sin was in, he knew something was up though.
‘Not enough, this is not enough; if the Kings were so feared, they wouldn’t be taken out this easily. I know I gained a lot of strength so far, but something else has to be amiss here.’
While Gary was falling to the ground, a pillar of fire went out from the hole where Sin was in and hit Gary directly in the chest, hitting his body. He spun a few times and eventually landed on a broken part of the ground.
[-22 HP]
‘Well, that hit hurt a bit more.’ Gary thought as he quickly got up from where he was looking, and he noticed the entire air changing around him.
Even through the camera, it was hard for Clem to focus, and she saw a warning sign.
‘Equipment overheating, please consider turning it off.’
“We have to move; we have to get up quickly,” Ash said. He could feel it; he could feel something was amiss.
