Chapter 397 Usage of the new abilities (1/2)

Michel who had created a metal staff sprinted towards the pigman and attacked. The pigman who saw Michel sprinting towards it used its huge body to block Michel's path. The pigman then opened its arms wide as if it wanted to give Michel a big hug.

Michel seeing that action of the monster jumped over the head of the pigman. The moment she jumped Michel noticed something, she felt lighter. Once she landed behind the pigman, she swung her metal staff at it. The metal staff hit the side of the pigman making it slam onto the wall.

Michel was surprised to see how strong she was, she wasn't even trying with that attack, yet she was able to do that much damage. It would seem that her strength has doubled from what it was before. The pigman who was smashed onto the wall started to make a sound that was like an angry squeal. After making those weird sounds the pigman charged at Michel, clearly mad.

Though the hulking pigman was durable and looked to be quite powerful, it was really slow. To a normal human adult, the speed of the pigman could be considered average, but to someone as experienced in battle like Michel, it was too slow, it was so slow that she was getting a bit impatient waiting for it to reach her. Still, now that Michel knows her strength was greater than before, she needed to suppress herself so that she won't accidentally kill the pigman.

Once the pigman was about to tackle Michel, she stepped to the side and extended her metal staff making the pigman trip. Michel then created four swords and pierced the pigman's arms and legs onto the floor.

She almost thought that was enough to hold the pigman down, but with its enormous strength, it was struggling free from the swords. Unlike Dan and Lyner, Michel didn't know much about pressure points, so she wasn't able to stop the monster that way. She wanted to create a tranquilizer but didn't know what the contents of such a thing were, making it impossible to create it using her ability.

She wanted to bind the pigman but knew that with its strength most things won't work on it. She had no choice, she either needed to continue beating it up until it could no longer move, or ask help from Anita. She didn't want to fight so inefficiently so she opted to ask for help from Anita.

When Michel told Anita what she thought, the former Saint of the Southern Union suddenly suggested something she would never suggest before.

”How about you continue beating it up until it faints. I want to test its endurance... Truth be told I think this monster is going to be the norm from now on. If we still wish to survive in these changing times, we must understand our enemies.”

Hearing what Anita said Michel had no choice but to continue fighting the monster. While Michel was fighting the pigman, Anita spoke with Rika.

”Rika, I'm sure these monsters are everywhere right now, and based on my shallow understanding, I'm also sure that a lot of people didn't survive the change when we all fallen unconscious. I'm also sure that right about now other people would've utilized their new abilities, but against these monsters, normal civilians even with their new abilities won't last long. So I hope you can go out and save some of them that are nearby. Bring them all here so that we can all prepare for the worst. The end is coming, but I do not fear it. Like my husband, I'll face it head-on with a smile on my face.” Anita then showed that vicious smile that Lyner was known for.
