Two wild beasts mauling each other!

"Roar!"

Painful roars escaped the throat of Yeshua as blood spurted from the mangled wound on his shoulder. Grey's sharp teeth were still clamped on Yeshua's shoulder while locking him on his muscular arms.

Grey was forcefully pressing his teeth on the wound and viciously tearing it. He was violently pulling and shaking his rat head to worsen the damage.

Grey was also squeezing hard his arms to constrict Yeshua breaking his bones. Creaking sounds of bones could be heard as Yeshua's body was being clamped by the strong arms of Grey. Yeshua was being overwhelmed by the pain of the wound and the breaking of his bones.

"Roar! You stinking rat!" Yeshua's rage was amplifying as the injuries he received worsen. His mind was muddling and he was aware that he was losing control.

Yeshua reigned on his beast as he gathered his will to resist it. What he had to do now was to escape from the strong arms wrapping around him.

Yeshua's arms were also locked by the arms of Grey. He was resisting the squeezing strength of Grey to prevent his body from breaking. He knew that he could not keep it for long and he would lose once Grey's strength overwhelmed him.

Double Wind Claws!

Blue winds gathered around the arms of Yeshua and sharpened his claws. He could not raise his arms and swipe his claws. What Yeshua did was to release it below him. This was the only thing he could do at this moment.

Bang! Bang!

The ground crumbled from the force of the wind blades. Rock debris and dust scattered around as the ground below them cracked. It was not enough so Yeshua repeated it.

Wind Claws!

Bang! Bang!

Sounds of cracking and crumbling ground resounded as Yeshua's wound was being torn apart and blood continued to splash around. Yeshua continued to resist Grey but Yeshua was losing and reaching his limits!

"Argh! Damn ground! Give in for me!" Yeshua gathered the wind again and blasted it on the ground!

Boom!

And something different happened this time. The ground they were standing on gave in as it cracked and collapsed!

The sudden collapse of the ground made the two wild beasts lost their footing for a moment. Though Grey continued to clamp his arms around Yeshua, the sudden loss of balance made Grey slightly loosen his arms around Yeshua. Yeshua achieved what he was hoping for!

Yeshua took this opportunity to adjust his right arm by twisting it forcefully. He felt his right arm almost broke by his twist. The pain made Yeshua grimaced but he did not stop!

Then, Yeshua gathered his strength in his right arm and fiercely pierced his sharp claws at the side of Grey!

"Argh!" Grey grunted in pain but he still did not let go of Yeshua. He was like a wild animal not wanting to let go of his prey!

"You still won't let go?! Then, how about this?!" Yeshua strongly squeezed his claws at the side of Grey to further stab his claws to his wound. Then, he twisted his arm forcefully and pulled it tearing Grey's side violently!

Even a wild animal still knew pain. Grey let go of the vicious bite and roared in pain!

"Roar!"

Grey's painful roars resounded as blood burst from the wound on his side like a fountain.

Vicious Bite!

This time Yeshua was the one who chomped on Grey. Yeshua's sharp fangs dug through the throat of the rat. The flesh of Grey burst with blood and the pain caused Grey to roar again!

Yeshua did not stop as he wanted to escape from the tight arms locking him. While clamping his fangs on Grey's throat, Yeshua continued to stab his sharp claws to the side of Grey!

Blood splashed around them as Yeshua stabbed Grey with his claws one after another!

Suddenly, Grey let go of his arms around Yeshua and bashed his claws at him!

When he felt that Grey removed his arms, Yeshua let go of his vicious bite and used his Wind Dash to quickly escape from Grey.

But their distance still allowed Grey's claws to reach Yeshua forcing him to raise his arms to defend. Yeshua was blasted a few feet away from Grey. Yeshua's arms were broken as he dangled them at his sides.

The battle paused as the two bloodstained beasts were breathing hard and glaring at each other. Mangled wounds covered the two of them and blood continued to flow from their wounds.

Anyone who saw their battle would tell that it was not Alterers who were fighting but two wild beasts mauling each other!

None of them spoke as Grey was already not in his right mind to talk and Yeshua was too weak to care about a conversation. Yeshua was not only injured but also poisoned. As the battle continued, his body was gradually weakening.

Yeshua needed to finish this fight immediately and leave this place!

Looking at the bloody rat in front of him, Yeshua noticed that Grey was already showing changes as he turned into a feral.

Grey's humanoid beast form was getting bulkier as his human silhouette was being replaced by a ferocious image. His claws were elongating and widening as green mist was being released from them. His dark gray fur was bristling and standing like needles while his eyes were filled with blood red light. His pointy teeth were further protruding as wild growls escaped from his maw.

As Yeshua observed the changes in Grey's body, he realized that Grey's wound was starting to heal. Yeshua was alarmed!

It seemed that Grey's regeneration was also strengthened as he turned into a feral. If it continued, Yeshua would be left wounded but Grey would be healed!

"It looks like I don't have a choice now," mumbled Yeshua weakly.

Yeshua still had another ability he did not use. He did not really want to use this ability since using it was also going to put him in danger. But escaping was not an option and it would not be long before Grey turned into a feral.

Yeshua controlled the genome sequence to unleash his ability. This ability would increase all his attributes. His blood would boil and strengthen his humanoid beast body's physical strength to the limit. It was estimated that if Yeshua used it he would increase his strength by almost two stages.

As Yeshua had elite rank Alter Beast, his strength was almost reaching level 1 stage 3 despite being only at level 1 stage 1. Together with this ability, Yeshua would reach the level of strength that could almost match a level 1 stage 5 Alterer!

But there was no powerful skill without a price to pay. Using this ability was going to increase the savageness of the beast within him. If he used this ability, it would be possible that he would lose control!

Dying from a feral or turning into a feral? What choice did Yeshua have? He would just stake it all and burst through this trial!

As Yeshua unleashed his ability, a howling of a wolf reverberated in the forest.

Awoooooo!

Blood Rage!

Yeshua could feel the blood inside his body sizzling like boiling oil. The wind swirled violently around him as the spirit particles in the surroundings gathered to his body and amplified the effect of the ability.

Yeshua could feel the strength filling his body. He felt that he was becoming faster, tougher, and stronger. The poison that weakened him was also being purged from his body while his mangled wounds were regenerating and healing.

When he transformed into his Windrage Wolf Alter Beast to test his abilities, Yeshua instinctively learned all of its capabilities. He understood what kind of abilities he possessed and how he could use them. That was the reason why he called his Alter Beast Windrage Wolf. He learned that his Alter Beast had an ability called Blood Rage and its effect.

But after testing his abilities, Yeshua then realized he did not understand where that ability came from. So, he asked the AI about it. The AI told him that the Blood Rage ability was derived from the genome crystal of his mother. The AI failed to thoroughly analyze it but it was still able to derive abilities from it.

The swirling winds gradually weakened as the raging wolf howls stopped resounding in the forest.

Yeshua's wolf body became bulkier as his dark blue fur bristled like needles. His spiked wolf mane looked like blades that could cut and impale. His body was also releasing red vapor that complimented his dark blue fur while his wolf eyes were almost filled with crimson light.

The air around Yeshua sizzled and blurred his image as bloody savageness exuded from his body.

"Haa! This feeling! I can feel my blood boiling and my body heating but it's not painful! This strength is intoxicating! But this savageness… Argh!"

Yeshua's growling voice was filled with ecstasy as he felt the strength in his body. But the muddling savageness that he could feel invading his mind frightened him!

Yeshua did not have much time. If he did not finish the battle before he lost his mind, Yeshua would become a feral!

Using his powerful will, Yeshua gathered his strength and dashed towards Grey.
