"Yeah I guess, it\'s a good thing. Let\'s just hope they are okay." Jake replied.

They walked for some minutes, before they finally got to the orange zone and then they started heading towards where Sophia said they will go to. They walked for some minutes more and then they came across the torn down buildings.

"Hey look." Cindy said pointing to the ground. "Do you think it\'s them?"

Jake moved forward to where Cindy was pointing and then he could see some dead beasts on the floor, Jake counted at least 10 of them. Jake then noticed that the beasts were riddled with sword marks all over their bodies. Jake used his sword to look around inside the beasts body trying to find the beast crystals.

"The crystal is gone. It means it\'s them." Jake said standing up.

"It means they must have headed further down the center of the streets." Kate said.

To which they walked some more and finally they entered the center of the town and they could see close to twenty dead beasts on the floor.

"Woah! They sure did kill a lot." Cindy said.

"I don\'t get it." Kate said. "With all this kills, it is more than enough to make them come back because together with our own kills, it is enough to make us rank up on the leaderboard. So what happened to them?"

"I don\'t know but I suggest we keep on walking." Jake said already heading deeper into the torn down town.

Meanwhile back at the fight with the mysterious man, Sophia, Jack, Peter and Ben just witnessed something that made their body shake In fear. Just when they thought they were gaining the upper hand in the fight, the man went ahead to transform. After a few minutes, the man was done transforming and Sophia suddenly regretted not running away when her instincts told her to.

"Awooooh!" The man shouted.

"He\'s a freaking werewolf!"Peter shouted. "So we have been fighting a freaking werewolf all along."

"Guys we are no match for a werewolf, we need to run." Ben said.

"Hold on," Sophia said. "Look, it\'s the lowest tier a werewolf could be."

Looking closer, they noticed it was true because this werewolf, was a little scrawny, few fangs and its eyes were beaming with the color yellow. It was a \'Runt\'

"So what?" Peter asked. "Do you want us to attack it again? You do know it was your silly ideas that got us into this mess in the first place."

"I know but we can\'t outrun a werewolf so the best chance we have is battling it." Sophia replied.

"We can\'t outrun it neither can we battle." Peter retorted.

"Enough! Enough of the argument already. It\'s too late for us to run so the best shot we have, is battling it." Jack said.

Immediately Jack finished talking, the werewolf calmly walked towards them with a sinister grin on his face. Ben looked left and right at what he could use since his spear was broken earlier by the werewolf and that was when he spotted a bow and some arrows that his late friend used.

Running towards it, Ben picked it up and moved a little farther back away from Sophia and the rest so he could use the bow better. "Good thing I learnt how to use the bow then."

When the werewolf was just 10 feet away from Sophia, it stopped moving and looked towards them again with a grin on its face. And then in a flash, the werewolf was already 3 feet away from Sophia, quickly dashing in front of Sophia was Jack who pulled her away from the claw strike that was heading her way.

"How is it possible that you are so fast?" The werewolf asked clearly. Runts were able to converse normally because they didn\'t have enormous Jaws or fangs hindering them from speaking.

Quickly taking advantage of the momentarily confusion, Ben tugged at his bow and let an arrow loose at the werewolf. The arrow was coming at the werewolf with incredible speed but it just caught it and snapped it like a twig.

Dashing forward was Peter with his axe slashing at the werewolf\'s body but it managed to avoid every single hit from Peter and then it gave Peter a slap across his face that sent him flying back. Meanwhile Jack just jumped and came falling down with an axe kick towards the werewolf\'s head.

The kick connected successfully but it didn\'t make the werewolf flinch a bit. Grabbing Jack\'s leg, he werewolf swung Jack around and around and then it slammed Jack on the floor with such strength and force that it created a deep crater in the floor.

Running towards the werewolf was Sophia, when she got close, she quickly performed the triple threat technique together with the Primary Guard technique. The sword was now aimed towards the werewolf\'s shoulder and neck. It pierced the neck but didn\'t go deep. Turning around the werewolf gave Sophia a strong hit towards her face that sent her flying away.

"Haha, so pathetic." The werewolf laughed. "I didn\'t know that the humans were so weak. I don\'t know what the Alpha is waiting for, he should just attack now because you guys are so…" the werewolf was interrupted by a hit that sent it skidding back a few feet.

"Just shut up already. We don\'t wanna hear you talk all the time." Jack shouted.

"You!" The werewolf said. "How are you so strong? Nevermind, I will just have to beat you to death."

\'Crap!\' Jack thought. \'my Qi is running low. Without it, I can\'t handle the werewolf at full strength. What do I do?\'

"Don\'t worry, you are not alone." Peter said coming to his side while holding his now reopened stomach injury alongside Sophia.

Just at that time, the werewolf had already gotten to their positions and then it threw a punch towards Jack\'s head but Sophia together with Peter quickly threw a punch also that changed the trajectory of the werewolf\'s punch causing his punch to miss.

And then Jack quickly threw a kick to the werewolf\'s stomach causing it too skid a little then an arrow plunged deep into the werewolf\'s stomach. Peter and Sophia looked at each other then they ran with full speed. Sophia was the first to get there and then she jumped up and threw a kick into the arrows plunging a little deeper and then Peter got there and threw a kick also that pushed the arrow deeper again.

Then they quickly ran back again to join up with Jack. The werewolf just looked at them with a grin. "Pathetic." Luckily for the werewolf, the arrow didn\'t go in deep so he pulled out the arrow in one smooth motion and then threw it on the ground. Seeing this, the team were visibly worried.

"Guys, I have almost ran out of Qi," Jack said. "I only have enough of Qi for one more attack after that I\'m out."

"I also don\'t have energy again." Peter added. "My injuries are really starting to take a toll on me."

Unsure of what to do, they watched as the werewolf dashed towards them. When it got to their positions, it threw a powerful punch towards Jack\'s stomach that sent him flying far away in pain. While it threw a back slap towards Sophia\'s face that sent her away also. Meanwhile Ben just kept shooting arrow after arrow but none of them touched the werewolf.

Then it got to Peter\'s position then it threw a very powerful punch towards Peter\'s face aiming to finish him once and for all.

"Stay away from my friends!" A voice was heard saying and then a hit very strong sent the werewolf flying back a few feet.
