It was quite clear that Gary had been going about this fight the wrong way. Although he knew Ice would be strong, since he had beaten Stinger with ease, he thought that the other prisoners would be like that as well, but this person was completely different compared to those from before.
Immediately, Gary had gotten up from his feet, lifting himself athletically off the floor, and he could see Ice already charging his way.
“It looks like you still have some hope in your eyes of getting out of this place, which means I’m afraid I will have to keep giving you a pummeling!” Ice had a new large club made out of ice in his hands.
He swung it down to hit Gary.
[Lethal Pounce]
Gary’s body jumped to the side, and right after, he had leapt to the side of Ice where he was wide open. The club had hit the ground, cracking the floor beneath it while also freezing it in places.
[Claw Drain!]
Gary’s fingernails started to extend as well, turning large and deadly, as he swung his whole arm, his fingernails pierced right through Ice and hit his body. All of his strength pushed him across, causing him to skid across the ground, but he had only moved about a foot.
‘What the?’
It was an odd sight for Gary because he was used to seeing his opponents go flying when using all his strength, but even with the hit itself, it felt like he was moving something incredibly heavy.
‘At least I gained some health back from the Claw Drain skill, but I’m going to have to fight a lot harder than that if I want to win!’ Gary thought.
Equally, it currently wasn’t night either, so Gary’s energy, as well as his skills, were half and a level lower than they usually would be.
When Gary tried to move his feet though, he noticed something; they were stuck. Looking down at his feet, they were frozen in place, including the floor around him; they were frozen all the way up to his knees.
“I know you're strong enough to break them, but I just needed you to stay still for a moment!” Ice exclaimed as he swung his club down hard.
Gary’s feet broke free from it using his strength, but he was smashed on top of the head again; his whole body came crashing down onto the floor.
[-45 HP] [230/300 HP]
‘This guy, not only is his ice abilities strong, but he seems to hit strong as well.’
On top of that, the club this time hadn’t smashed when it hit Gary on top of his head, and instead, it was starting to freeze the entirety of his upper body. While Gary was struggling to break free, Ice had gotten his club ready again and swung it wide like a baseball bat.
It smashed into Gary’s side, and he went flying towards the staircase this time; he had crashed into it, breaking several parts of the staircase, and large amounts of blood were coming out from his mouth.
[-62 HP] [168/300 HP]
When was the last time Gary remembered getting beat this bad, being humiliated like this? He hadn’t fully transformed yet, but that was because he hadn’t even had the chance; he was just doing his best to escape from the situation.
Even now, before Gary could fully get up, he saw a large ice stake come out from the corner, and pierce right through his shoulder. It had gone through his hard thick skin and pinned him to the large staircase structure.
“Arghh!”
Right where the ice spear had pierced Gary, the area was starting to freeze over, pinning him even more so to the ground.
[-44 HP] [124/300 HP]
Carter, the South Gang leader, as well as everyone else watching, were quite surprised.
“I knew Ice was strong, and I knew that new green-haired kid was strong, but I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Ice fighting like this; he’s going all out. There is too large of a level difference between the two of them,” Carter commented.
At the same time, Blackjack was squinting as he continued to watch what was playing out. ‘I was watching his fight so far; he hasn’t shown anything impressive. At this rate, even if he fights against the Warden, he might not even be able to get a bite on her. I was trying to figure out what type of werewolf he was or what class he was.
‘I can’t see anything, but I guess it’s pointless now as well.’
As Gary tried to lift himself up, three more ice pillars came out, and there wasn’t a thing Gary could do. One after the other, he had been pierced in the other shoulder, and they had pierced through his thighs as well.
[-33 HP] [-24 HP] [-46 HP] [21/300 HP]
Just like that, it seemed like Gary didn’t even have the chance to fight at his fullest, because his opponent was able to overwhelm him. He still had plenty of energy left to use his skills and fight back, but he was already close to being dead.
“I purposely didn’t aim for any of your vitals and have brought you to near your death,” Ice stated. “I hope now this means you accept this loss and that you will stop thinking about escaping.”
To everyone watching, it seemed the fight was over, and even more so, Gary had been humiliated. Ice hadn’t even killed him, beating him in a way he would purposely not die.
For Carter, he was just shaking his head. “He’s safer in here; with the Phoenix Gang going after him, this would be the same result if he was to go up against Sin.”
“Sin.” Gary softly said. Images, cries, blood, the flashing images were appearing in Gary’s head. The sight of Slough, what it had been in the past, and what it could be now.
“I need to stop him!” Gary shouted. “I need to get out of here, no matter what the cost!”
“ARGHH!” Gary screamed at the top of his lungs as his body started to change.
[Full body transformation activated.]
[Last stand, Level 2 Activated]
