Chapter 279 - Eating till full (2/2)
”Hurry!” Lenny shouted, ”We must keep moving, I don't know how much more attacks the circle can take.”

Inside the forest, Jack and the Crowned Harpy had managed to crash back at the base of the harpies. He was still transformed as a Werewolf and was ready to take the beast on.
While the Harpy was still on the ground, Jack saw this as an opportunity. He held his giant great sword on his back and dashed forward holding the sword above its head.
However, the Harpy had managed to recover in time and swiped its wing at the blade cutting it completely in half. The strike also managed to go through the blade and the tip manged to just cut Jack's chest a little.
It was the first time while being in werewolf form that his body had been damaged. Jack couldn't be reckless like he usually was, one wrong move and he would be dead.
Jack started to slowly circle the Harpy as if he was hunting his prey, then he noticed something, why Hadn't the harpy flown back into the sky? That's when he spotted that one of the Harpies wings had been damaged.
If he was to attack, he needed to come from that side the damaged right wing. He started to circle the beast again and slowly started to pick up speed, then pounced in once again this time with a swipe of his claw.
The Harpy surprisingly lifted up its damaged wing, allowing Jack to attack and damage it further. The claw ripped a good-sized chuck out of the wing but then the Harpy swung its other wing at Jack aiming at his leg.
The blow came out fast and it hit, a deep wound was now on his leg. His one advantage his speed was suddenly lost.
”It was never my style to fight using my head in the first place.”
Jack decided to no longer care about his own safety and chose to dash in again clawing at the Harpy. The Harpy started to swing out both of its wings at the same time. From the outside it looked like a heavy brawl was taking place, blood started to splatter all over from both beasts.
Jack's hands were heavily damaged and so were the Harpy's wings. With nothing left to use, Jack decided to use his large jaw and big mouth to bite into the Harpy's Neck. He lifted his head and ripped part of the neck with him, now the Harpy was no longer moving.
The beast had died.
But then something strange happened, a piece of the Harpy in Jack's mouth had fallen into his stomach. A taste Jack had never felt before entered into his mouth and his body felt slightly stronger.
Jack was no longer in control, his body continued to bite into the Crowned harpy swallowing it piece by piece until eventually, all that was left was a carcass.
Jack collapsed on the ground and slowly started to turn back into a human, his wounds on his arms and legs started to heal.
At the same time, his mind was slowly coming back to him. He remembered how he had devoured the Harpy, but more importantly, he remembered the feeling. With every bite of the Harpy Jack felt like he was getting stronger and right now after finishing his meal, he felt stronger than ever.
