Chapter 59: An Experiment 2 (2/2)

Jack was not trained all fancy and intense like Supers or sootten into plenty of street scraps He had learned from bloody experience, and he could tell this Alter was a total arowled and punched at Jack's head Jack ducked and stabbed into the giant's throat and then circled around to try and decapitate the giant while he was disabled trying to regenerate a throat torn to shreds

The giant however, landed a solid punch on Jack's chest, launching him back into a tree

Jack braced for ith was just too much He almost snapped the tree he hit in half as the wind knocked out of him He dropped to one knee and sucked in breath as he shakily looked up at the giant

How the hell did this guy not react at all to his throat getting shredded? Yeah, he could regenerate, but even regenerating Alters got disabled until their vital organs healed up

But this thing treated the hole in its throat as if it was just abite

Jack looked around to see where the Lasher was, but the one Had his body been taken?

"That's enough, troll chieftain" A voice ca to locate the voice He did not have to try long The source of the voice jumped down from a treetop and landed in front of Jack Seeistered hilowing eyes

He was dressed in a black bodysuit with a strange purple orb embedded in his chest

"Who-who the fuck are you?" wheezed out Jack

"How rude Is that how you talk to your clients?"

"Y-you?" Jack sluainst the tree he had hit He breathed heavily, looking moments away from death In reality, he was now nearly fully recovered His knife arht have only affected his arh that he had superhu with a single punch or anything like that, but still easily h to rip a normalto his mask's scanner, in half

"Yes I'll have you and your friend assist me in a few experiments," said the ot close enough, Jack lunged suddenly like a wild cat, thrusting forwards with his blade arh this idiot from the shoulders up

"Woah now" The man casually spoke as he held Jack's blade down between his palms It felt like Jack's blade was stuck between a hydraulic press, just completely and utterly stuck

"W-what the fuck?" Jack growled as he pushed forward, but this er than hiuy fors - everywhere he exertedhis power

"So, [Negative Surge] lets me keep up quite easily with a D-rank villain Good to know"

"Shut up!" Jack used his other free arm to swipe at the cocky fucker's head

The o of Jack's blade ar blades to reach properly

Jack felt…a sense of déjà vu This exact sequence had happened before, the first tione to jail A Super known by the name of Diamond Fist had out-maneuvered Jack's wild slashes with this very same counter

It showed Jack the massive difference between so and, well, souy…this guy was trained Trained properly Way beyond what a street thug like Jack could coainst

In the next instant, Jack nearly vout, this ti the air out of hi fro mouth as he trembled in pain and shock All he could do was look up at the man weakly with shaky vision as he waited for a death blow No such execution came, however

Instead, the man looked off to the side "Fler'Gan, I have your second sample here"

Jack felt slimy tendrils crawl up his neck and around his face, and in the next instant, his world went black
