Cheat In Apocalypse: The Divine Ascendant

Chapter 6

The entirety of his thirst for power was to obtain freedom, the ability to do anything and everything, to live and lead his life as he pleased... to take complete control of his life.

There was no way he would submit to someone else, even if they offered him power.

A Beta Werewolf is nothing more than a servant, eternally bound to the will of their Alpha.

Seeing Ray not responding, Vanak felt a vein pop up on his forehead.

"I take it your silence means you're refusing my very generous offer…?" Vanak narrowed his eyes when he saw that Ray still wasn't responding.

"You know, it's an honor to be offered to be turned by an Alpha Werewolf of an ancient werewolf lineage, and yet you have the audacity to refuse? You're really arrogant, aren't you?"

Vanak's aura grew wilder, influenced by his emotions.

His appearance began to take on a more beastly form as his animalistic features became even more prominent.

His entire body became completely covered in fur, his face fully transforming into the head of a wolf with fearsome fangs.

The claws on his hands and feet grew longer and sharper, his height increased by a few more inches, and his posture became slightly hunched.

Whatever humane features he had left, they completely disappeared.

He had completed his transformation into his [Bipedal Werewolf Form.]

[You have entered the Bipedal Werewolf Form (2nd Form) of the Alpha Werewolves.]

[All your physical abilities have increased by 60%.]

It wasn't just his aura and appearance that had become completely monstrous; even his voice had turned deep, hoarse, and beastly.

"You're lucky the system won't allow me to kill you here, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to f**k you up," a monstrous voice rumbled from the werewolf's mouth.

"I'm going to tear you to pieces," the werewolf muttered before his figure burst forward toward his opponent, leaving behind claw marks on the ground along with a burst of energy.

As soon as the werewolf appeared in front of Ray, he raised his claws with the intent of tearing him apart.

Suddenly, Ray's aura exploded.

His once-blue aura turned into a brownish-green hue as the surrounding pressure completely changed.

The werewolf's claws finally made contact with Ray's chest.

However, instead of blood gushing out and Ray screaming in pain, the claws barely managed to pierce his skin.

Only the tips had broken through, and even that minor wound healed within seconds.

The bipedal werewolf instinctively took a step back, not because of pain, but because his beastly instincts were screaming at him to retreat.

He could feel an overwhelming pressure growing.

"What… What is going on?"

Before he could comprehend the situation, Ray's figure blurred in motion.

In an instant, he was standing right in front of Vanak, one hand raised behind him.

"Wh—?"

Before Vanak could react, something solid slammed into his gut.

His vision blurred as if he had been thrown into a blender, and before he knew it, he was sent flying backward.

This time, it was the werewolf who was slammed into the wall.

"What just happened?"

"This madman... he had even more abilities he was hiding."

Gina felt an unprompted smile form on her face uncontrollably. "Just how many powers has he been hiding?"

No one knew exactly what Ray was doing, but they all knew one thing: he kept finding ways to power up.

At first, he didn't use any external enhancements; he relied solely on his own strength, instantly defeating opponents the moment the battle began.

Even then, he was already overwhelmingly powerful.

But when the fights became a little tougher, he brought out higher-grade techniques, ones no one had ever seen before in the First Tower Realm.

As if that wasn't enough, he then proceeded to wield ultimate-grade weapons.

Yet, even then, if he found himself in a difficult situation, he would resort to magic, something already absurd on top of his extreme swordsmanship, and spearmanship.

Magic itself was rare, but Ray also possessed an extraordinary level of stamina and healing abilities.

These granted him the endurance to fight 200 consecutive battles without stopping.

And now, he seemed to be unveiling yet another kind of power, one so overwhelming that he overpowered a fully transformed werewolf with a single punch.

Ray appeared in front of the fallen werewolf, his skin now completely dark brown and his eyes glowing bright bronze.

All the wounds on his body vanished, his twisted arm snapped back into place, and his broken bones healed instantly.

"You said you were going to tear me apart... Let's see if you can."

Ray's smile widened as he grabbed the werewolf by the tail and hurled him into the air.

Then, leaping after him, he raised his fist like a hammer and slammed it into the werewolf's gut, driving him straight into the ground.

Upon impact, the earth shattered beneath him as a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

Ray wasn't finished, not even a bit.

As soon as Vanak hit the ground, Ray followed gracefully, his right fist becoming covered in thick, earth-brown energy as his [Earth Essence] condensed around his skin, making it harder and harder until it literally turned to rock.

Using the strength boosted by his [Earth Avatar] form, with earth essence covering his skin and the added momentum from his fall, he delivered a single, devastating punch straight into Vanak's gut.

"Argh…"

Werewolves were known for their incredibly strong bodies, but Ray's attack had easily broken through Vanak's skin, even creating a gaping hole as blood spurted out like a fountain.
