Nightmare Paradise : Starting as a Doctor

Chapter 150: Forcing The Hidden Watchers

"So, the werewolf invasions that have been happening...," Lynn spoke, attempting to probe further and satisfy his interest and suspicions. Shade, however, had no intention of continuing the conversation.

The monstrous form let out a guttural roar, reverberating through the ruined surroundings. "You have too much curiosity for someone who will soon die." He interrupted, voice echoing with a menacing tone.

His lips suddenly pulled back in a grotesque semblance of a grin, revealing rows of razor-sharp fangs. Without warning, the wolfish legs tensed, and he lunged forward, causing the ground beneath to crack.

Lynn barely had time to react, bringing Flame Edge up in a sweeping arc to block the oncoming charge. But the claws lashed out with stunning precision, batting the blazing blade aside as if it were a toy.

"This speed and strength... they are almost overwhelming," he clenched his teeth, feeling the impact forces rumble through his body as he struggled to maintain his footing and keep up with the relentless assault.

Even firing Crimson Bullets did nothing - the explosive, armor-piercing shots inflicted no noticeable damage. The monster simply endured the blasts, detonating against its thick hide with hardly a flinch.

Only bruises and scorch marks indicated the attack had any effect, and they quickly disappeared under the incredible regeneration ability. Lynn was completely suppressed after the transformation.

As his injuries began to accumulate, the situation only seemed to worsen. His mind was a whirlwind of frustration, desperately seeking any solution or vulnerability he could exploit and leverage.

"Is this the best you can do, Wanderer?" the enemy taunted, mocking and ridiculing his futile efforts. "I thought you would offer a more significant resistance and challenge."

Without activating his talent [Gemini Soul] and unleashing the full potential of [Cell Proliferation], Lynn knew he stood little chance against his formidable opponent. Even with these abilities, victory was uncertain.

Yet, he had no intention of relying on these powers. Instead, he maintained the current state of conflict, waiting for the opportune moment when something else would shift the balance in his favor.

Mistaking his silence as desperation, the transformed Shade let out a booming laugh. "Give up already. You cannot hope to defeat me. Surrender the knowledge you possess, and I might spare your life and allow you to join me in transcending the human form."

"Are they not going to intervene?" Lynn pondered internally, secretly scrutinizing a location from the corner of his eye. Since the confrontation began, he had felt the weight of watchful gazes upon him.

Thanks to the shared perspective of the temporarily tamed crow, he knew who they were - the people from the Special Investigation Bureau. That explained why, despite all the chaos and damage unfolding, no one dared to interfere or even approach the scene.

Lynn immediately recognized the familiar members—the two extraordinary investigators and their captain. They were hidden on top of a building, observing the situation develop.

If he were to unleash his full power, he would only be setting up a perfect opportunity for them to catch both Shade, who appeared to be the mastermind behind the werewolf appearance in the region, and himself.

Simon likely anticipated that moment, waiting patiently for both adversaries to completely exhaust their strength and abilities, making them easy targets for apprehension and capture.

Lynn was determined to prevent that outcome. From the beginning, he strategically guided the battle, slowly inching closer to the location where he had initially detected their presence.
