57 Mutt

Everytime it transformed, it became even stronger than before. Severed tongue quickly healed and formed into a weird harpoon thing. It was able to strike me with it me in the distance. I tried to cut it just like before but tip of it was hardened similar to a bone.

"How annoying."

It was still in my ability to see and predict. I got closer to it while blocking its tongue with my sword. When I was finally in striking distance, I grabbed the tongue and pulled him closer while swinging my sword. I was able to cut its head. Headless body fell to ground. I was still holding the tongue which was attached to now severed head. I slammed it to ground and crushed under my boots.

"No! I swear, I will kill you! I will hunt you to end of the world!"

Vampire screamed behind me. I paid no attention to her. She didn't had any blood on her to heal herself. She carried a bag of holding when we first met but she seemed to lost it during the destruction of the building. Without blood she couldn't heal her wounds enough to walk. I only paid attention to now headless body of the ghoul. It twitched on the ground. How I was supposed to weaken something that can live without its heart and head?

"Cut it down enough times?"

If I just keep swinging my sword to its body it probably would be enough. Just as I was about to strike it jumped to air. Suprised, I jumped back. A rookie mistake. I should have caught it mid-air and attacked it. It landed to ground on its four limbs. Bones broke and limbs were twisted. It crawled on all fours without its head. Its movements resembled a bug. I chased after it. Its neck showed signs of healing. While I ran after it, a head mix between a human and a spider popped out. It suddenly stopped and jumped back, towards me. I raised my sword yet…

"Son of a!"

If I was a second late my head was gone. Even with me blocking it, a wound appeared in my shoulder. A bone blade tore from its wrist. While its face was so different from a human, I could tell that it was smiling. He was transforming to quick for me to read its movements even with Hawkeye. Its limbs and joints changed so quickly and frequently that I wasn't able to get a good read on it. It licked the blood on bone blade while looking me in the eye.

"You want to play like that? Let's go then!"

It still had enough intelligence taunt me. I leaped forward. It also moved and we met in the middle. Our blades clashed and I cut off its arm. Just 5 second later an appendage similar to a praying mantis took the place of it.

"Its regeneration is getting faster!?"

Shouldn't it be slower? Did it had some kind of condition? Its strength also increased. It was still a glass cannon I could cut down easily but it didn't need any defence anyway. It just healed even more stronger than before!

"Noah, stop! Please, if you can hear me!"

She cried non-stop.

"What did you do? Tell me!"

Did she did something for it to become like this?

"I was just desperate…"

So she did something! Why couldn't one of my jobs be normal? I managed to cut down four scythe looking limbs. I cut the legs which became similar to hooves. While its strength and speed increased continuously, its durability stayed same level as a normal human. As it fell to ground, I pulled the Greek Fire from my bag. I wasn't sure if it was time to use it but I was going no where. I had to change something before its strength and speed become too much for me to handle. Just as I was about to throw it I was shaken to my core with a wild howl.

"Auuuuu!"

"No…"

Vampire said. I knew what that howl belonged. A werewolf!

"You made a deal with werewolves?"

I nearly spat my words towards her.

"I had no other choice!"

"Now, now. Don't be so harsh to your brethen, Mr. Vampire."

A tall yet slim man walked towards me. He had long hair. He moved towards me.

"My name is Will Talbot and you?"

I stomped the ghoul trying to regenerate.

"I have no name to give to a mutt."

The smile he carried in his face since he entered my vison widened. It was a sly smile. A fake one.

"You don't have to be so rude Mr. Vampire."

I leaped front, swinging my blade towards him.

"Wohoh! Dangerous, dangerous!"

He said as he moved back to avoid my swings. He was fast. Fast enough to dodge all of my attacks with ease.

"One eye. Oh, I see."

His hand turned into claws and pushed my blade back.

"You are the hunter Wolfgang tried to kill a while ago! Did a vampire grabbed you after he was done with you?"

His mocking tone got into my nerves.

"You know him?"

"Of course I do. I am one of his "underlings" after all."

"Where is he?"

He seemed thrilled with my reaction.

"Screw it. I am going to kick your ass and make you spill it."

It is not like he was going to tell me.

"Well, well. I was trying to be nice but you kept being rude to me. Now, I had to answer you in the same way you did to me."

He started to transform. Getting bigger and taller, fur grew in his entire body. His head turned into of a wolf's. Mana leaking from him also got stronger. Strong enough to make me take one step back.

"No. You can't defeat him!"

Vampire cried out. It was too late to back out anyways. He was taller and leaner than Wolfgang. But he was still more musculer and bigger than other half baked werewolves I killed.
