With a swift movement, she lunged forward, her claws slashing through the air. A werewolf charged at her, but she was quicker, her movements a blur. She struck, her claws sinking into the werewolf, sending it sprawling. It lunged again, growling at her, but Cyrstal smiled. It was no match for her, thanks to Nexus. She easily sliced through it.
Another werewolf attacked, but Crystal was ready. With a swift kick, she sent it flying, and called on her fiery power, burninh it to ashes. She utilized the stretchability of her body to make some unconventional combat maneuvers that the Werewolves across from her had a hard time accurately predicting her movements.
But the werewolves were relentless. They kept coming, their numbers seemingly endless.
With a powerful flap of her wings, she sliced the incoming werewolves, her figure casting a menacing shadow. She swooped down, her claws extended, and struck. Werewolves fell one by one, their howls fading into the night and their bodies becoming ashes.
The station smelled of fire and burnt bodies and a couple of the police officers were wounded. Cyrstal dodged an attack from a police officer that turned into a werewolf. The room was a chaos of growls, snarls, and the clash of bodies. Each second felt like an eternity as they fought, their hearts pounding in their chests.
"At my right!!!". Nexus yelled to Crystal alerting her about a werewolf she wasn't aware of.
Reaves fought his way to Tom. "Stay behind me. These things are vicious but it's the only thing they got going for them. Protect my flank".
Tom didn't like Reaves giving him orders, but he was right. He frowned but moved behind him. "We have to retreat to the safe house. They are too many!!!". He yelled just as he drove his gun into the chest of a wounded police officer before he turned into a zombie-werewolf.
Everyone grunted or yelled back in response. Manas were depleting and even though they fought bravely, they could not hold off the army of the undead Werewolves.
Every muscle in their bodies screamed in protest as they fought, their movements growing more desperate with each passing second. The werewolves were relentless, their eyes glowing with a savage hunger. They were the undead and the more police officers and hunters that were wounded, the more Werewolves were created, but Nexus and Tom stood their ground, their faces set in grim determination.
Never had the police station seen such a fierce battle. The walls echoed with the sounds of the clash, each growl, each snarl, a grim reminder of the threat they faced. But Nexus and Tom were not deterred. They fought relentlessly.
Mike soon joined them, and Madeleine too. Nexus took a step back, the heavenly flame slicing through the air, but he tired. He took a step back, his eyes meeting mike's. Mike conjured the vitality elixir and handed to Nexus. He didn't like Nexus deep down, but he knew they would all die if he did nothing.
As soon as he drank it, the system granted him extra mana and health and he felt energised and ready again. He was also granted the ability to see things from the corner of his eyes. "The cunning". He saw the werewolves rush as Tom.
"Tom, look out". Nexus yelled as more werewolves rushed out from the clinic. It was a full on infestation of zombie werewolves. Because he had held on to the vow he made to Reaves, the system rewarded him a unique power the made him invisible for a while.
A chilling smile crossed Nexus face as he tapped on it and went immediately invisible. He sliced through the werewolves who didn't see him, until the invisibility wore off. A werewolf rushed at him, but Nexus was caught off guard and swung his sword too late.
But Reaves sent a ball of bright light to the werewolf and it disintegrated immediately. Tiffany hurried forward and created a deep purple wall of defense at her father's side as he was about to be attacked by a zombie-werewolf. The werewolf shrieked when it made contact with the wall. Instantly, it caught fire.
"Thank you." Reaves said to his daughter.
The werewolves kept coming and eventually, the defenses collapsed. The mana barrier fell to the ground with a loud thud and the pack of zombie werewolves rushed into the station. Madeleine took first defense, shooting zaps of electricity to the werewolves and creating a magical barrier to protect her and Tiffany.
"Madeline, come on". Nexus called out to her as he dragged Tom away to safety while Reaves covered their escape. Madeline kept sending balls of red and blue fire and throwing them at the werewolves who were instantly reduced to ashes at contact. She pushed the magical barrier as she grabbed Tiffany and hurried after Nexus.
"Dad!!!". Tiffany cried out as he father fought bravely to keep the werewolves from attacking the retreating party. Mike joined him and asked him to leave. He was going to take on the werewolves while they ran to safety. Tom's heart pounded like a drum in his chest as chaos erupted around him. "Get control of the officers!" he barked, his voice barely audible over the roars and snarls of the werewolves. The clinic room was a battlefield, the air thick with fear and confusion.
He shot a bright light redirecting heavenly flame, and a large vortex of fire engulfed half the werewolves. The force from heavenly flame pushed back some, and they slammed into Madeline's barrier and instantly melted. This was their chance to escape.
"We have to leave now!!" He grabbed Crystal who had been attacked by a werewolf. She would not turn into one of them because she was a B-class mage, but she was weakened.
He made to grab Tom, but then saw it. Nexus, his eyes wide with shock, watched as a police officer morphed into a werewolf before his very eyes. The transformed officer lunged at his colleague, his teeth bared. "Tom!" Nexus shouted, his voice filled with urgency. But Tom was already moving, his body instinctively springing into action.
He fought back, his movements swift and precise. But for every werewolf he repelled, another took its place. The realization hit him like a punch to the gut - they were outnumbered.
"Nexus!" he called out, his voice strained. "Follow me. The safe house!!!" He yelled. He signaled to the others to follow him and they did, leaving Mike to hold their defenses. With the remaining uninjured officers, Tom guided them to a safe house at the very heart of the police station and when they were safely tucked away.
