Chapter 892: Give Me Your Strength

Small sparks appeared around the Warden's horn. It lit up slightly by the stump, but it was doing nothing to her body. It was unable to fully heal her wounds, and compared to before, she was huffing and panting; it was clear she was tired now that her horn had been taken away.

"I never would have thought such a strong Altered would have a weakness like this," Blackjack said. "Man, with the bite and this, I've really been losing my brain cells rotting away in this prison. If the others found out about this, they would never give me the time of day."

At the same time, Gary's last stand skill had finished, but he was fine. He had a large amount of his health regained from the Claw Drain as well as his energy. He wouldn't be able to use the skill anymore for a while, though, which was a major issue.

'I didn't want to use the skill, but I had no choice,' Gary thought. 'Now, it's going to be even harder to get out of this place, but we needed to win this fight.'

Gary lifted his head, looked at the Warden; now in this state, there was no longer any worry for them. Already injured, they just had to finish off their enemy, and as if the Warden knew it herself, she couldn't help but start to laugh.

"Hahaha!" The Warden laughed. "Do you really plan to get rid of me, to stop me here? You got rid of my horn, but it will grow back eventually. But you should know the position that you are in right now.

"You think if you defeat me you've escaped from this prison. It's quite the opposite; for you, Gary, it will mean you're stuck in here forever."

Gary didn't charge forward; he was wondering what she had to say in her last moments.

"Don't listen to her; let's just take her out!" Blackjack added.

"I looked into your case," the Warden replied. "The circumstances of why you have been put in this place are quite suspicious. There's a good chance that eventually, someone will find something, and your case will be thrown out of the window."

"You are different from the rest of these; you are not meant to be in here. But if you take me out now, if you kill me, and you try to break out, that will be added to your crimes. You will become a real criminal. The entirety of the White Rose will become your enemy; they will chase you for the rest of your life."

Blackjack went to look over at Gary to see if the Warden's words were convincing him; instead, they were surprised to see he was already walking toward the Warden.

"You are wrong about what you said; it seems you don't know much about me," Gary said as he continued to walk and tense his fist. His face transformation was turning back to normal, and he was in his partially transformed state now.

It was easier for him to talk this way without the large teeth getting in the way, and it was best for him to conserve his energy right now.

"I am not a good person," Gary answered. "I am part of a gang, the Howlers Gang, and not just a part of it, but my position is the leader, and as a leader, there are times when I have to do things I don't want to do, but it's all for the sake of protecting my gang."

Gary lifted up his head, and his eyes were glowing red as he looked right at the Warden.

"I didn't want to do these things, but it's because of the way the world currently is that my hand has been forced to at least protect the ones that I care about!"

Gary charged forward, and the Warden, seeing this, wanted to use the last of her power to zap away to the second floor. She could seal the door from the outside and lock those in. It would hold them back at least until the others came from the White Rose.

When trying to move her feet, though, they were stuck in the ground; looking down, she could see that they were covered in ice.

"I will hold you down," Ice said on the floor with his hands spread out on the floor. "Without your horn, you can't break free, right? I promised to help him, to help him protect people, and you are in the way!"

The Warden looked down at her feet; she didn't see it coming, the fist full of strength crashing right into her head. A punch so strong that the ice broke from her feet. She flew in the air, blood dripping out from her mouth until she crashed on the other side of the prison, right toward the exit and entrance that she was protecting.

The Warden's body had made a large crater in the wall when it landed; her head sunk down toward the floor, blood dripping out of her mouth, lifeless at that moment.

With all three of them, they had successfully not just defeated the South and North group but had also successfully defeated the Warden.

After delivering the punch, Gary continued to walk forward towards the Warden's body. The other guards that had lined up on the side of the prison; none of them dared to move to come towards him.

After delivering the punch, the whole prison felt like it had gotten deathly silent, waiting for some type of order from the one who had managed to clear every obstacle in his way.

Finally, Gary reached the Warden's body.

"I'm glad you were strong because your strength will now be added to mine, and I will use that to help my friends and family."
