280 Ferocious Lycanthrope (1/2)
At the same time, the two people had begun fighting on the battlefield.
”Die!” In the blink of an eye, Tobey had rushed in front of Harvey and was prepared to strike with his claws. He aimed his attack at Harvey's throat!
”Get lost!” Harvey laughed coldly. Before Tobey could even touch Harvey's collar, he was instantly pushed back by an invisible force!
”Vector Recoil?” Brooke said as he started frowning.
”Hmph!” Shroder laughed coldly. He could not help but lift the corners of his mouth as he smiled.
That was right! Harvey's mutant ability was to use Vector Recoil. He was able to change the direction of any force. Before someone could even reach him, he could easily push them away! This was a very strong mutant ability. However, it was merely one of the few positives within his pool of shortcomings. That explained why he was still categorized as a Level Two Metahuman.
”Vector Recoil?” Jiang Fei asked confusedly. Brooke had said the term as a guess at Harvey's mutant ability. However, Jiang Fei was confused about what the words meant!
”Hmph! Again!”
Just as Tobey crashed into a boulder having been knocked back on the battlefield, he immediately started charging toward Harvey again without delay! For a Lycanthrope with thick flesh, that kind of impact was nothing to him and it barely injured him!
”Go back!” Harvey waved his hand as he shouted. It was as if he were flicking away an annoying fly. Right then, Tobey collided against yet another boulder and was stuck to it like a picture on the wall.
”Hehe, Brooke. You should just give up now. Your nephew wouldn't last at this rate!” Shroder said as he turned his head toward Brooke.
”Hmph! Shroder, don't gloat so soon. Your mutants may be strong, but the low-level ones have weak points. As long as Tobey can find his, this golden-haired young fellow would definitely be torn into pieces!” Brooke was not a newbie like Jiang Fei, so he was not one who would easily be misled by mere words!
Mutants' powers came from genetic modifications with the use of elixirs. It was easy for them to acquire abilities. Some kids could already have the power equivalent to a Level Three or even Level Four Metahuman at the age of six or seven. However, most mutants had different levels of shortcomings. A lot of these shortcomings could cost them their lives!
”Eh?” Although Jiang Fei was paying attention to the conversation between Shroder and Brooke, he was still focused on what was happening on the battlefield. Under his close observation, he discovered that Harvey's nose was beginning to get sweaty despite him having complete dominance over the situation. In fact, Harvey looked as if he was zoning out. His originally calm demeanor was also beginning to falter!
”Could it be that this young fellow's weakness is that he can't use his abilities for too long?” Jiang Fei guessed in his heart. A limited reservoir of energy was one of the common weaknesses of mutants.
Han Tianyu had once told Jiang Fei a story about a fire-type mutant. The mutant completely dominated his opponent at first, with each of his Fire Balls containing great explosive might, to the point where he was almost believed to be a Level Three Metahuman by his opponent who was only a Level Two Metahuman. His opponent even requested to surrender several times!
However, while they were still fighting, the mutant suddenly stopped attacking. The energy in his body had been completely depleted. In the end, the Fire Ball he emitted was not even strong enough to light a cigarette. One could imagine what happened to this guy as his opponent who had been suppressed for a long time went on a rampage and tore him into pieces.
As time ticked, Jiang Fei was all the more confident that his guess was right as he noticed the growing concern on the golden-haired young man's face. Although this young fellow had a strong ability, it was clear that his weakness lied in his limited reservoir of the energy needed to use it.
He would not even last ten minutes in the battle!
In a short few minutes, Tobey had already been badly bruised. Although he was a Lycanthrope, and was naturally tough, several big and strong boulders had already been crushed by the impact of his body. If he could recover from those injuries, he would not be a Level Two Lycanthrope!
Right then, fresh blood streamed down the corner of Tobey's mouth. There were clear injuries to his bone and cartilage. Even his right shoulder seemed slightly sunken. Although a Lycanthrope had great vitality, this young man was nearly half-dead!
”Haha! Young fellow, you're almost done!”
”You ought to kill me quickly before you run out of energy!”
