Chapter 41 41 — A Monster Unleashed
As soon as Sabretooth finished speaking, his body rapidly expanded.
In the blink of an eye, he had grown to nearly three meters tall.
Now, he towered far above Wolverine.
The increase in height came with a massive expansion of his entire physique.
If Sabretooth had originally weighed around 200 pounds,
he now likely weighed eight or nine hundred.
Even before this, Sabretooth's strength had already surpassed Wolverine's.
Now, with this monstrous size, his power became even more terrifying.
Most shocking of all were his ten claws—each nearly a foot long.
"Shit… you can transform too? This is gonna hurt."
Wolverine looked at Sabretooth, who was now in an entirely different size class, and muttered in resignation.
Facing something like this, he was bound to be crushed.
Pain would be the theme of this battle.
But to save Rogue,
Wolverine still charged forward without hesitation.
"Looking to die!"
This time, Sabretooth's tone was even more disdainful.
The Karma Fruit had brought him an overwhelming transformation.
This size granted him astonishing strength.
Yet his beast-like instincts and agility hadn't been affected at all.
His claws gleamed coldly.
The moment Wolverine lunged forward, Sabretooth swung his massive arm.
Boom—!
Smack—!
Wolverine was sent flying like a ragdoll.
Nearly unconscious, he skidded across the ground for quite a distance.
Sabretooth glanced at Wolverine, who couldn't get back up anytime soon.
Then his gaze shifted to Rogue.
"The boss wants to see you."
With that, he reached out to grab her.
"No! Help!"
Rogue ran frantically, yanking off her gloves as she fled.
If Sabretooth caught her, she would use her power to absorb his abilities.
That might be her only chance to escape.
But at that moment—a powerful storm swept across the area.
Sabretooth turned toward the source.
Two figures appeared.
Storm!
Cyclops!
The raging winds were controlled by Storm's abilities.
The violent gusts disrupted Sabretooth's vision.
At the same time, Cyclops raised a hand to his visor.
Whirr—
Boom—!
A blazing red beam of energy slammed into the spot where Sabretooth had just been standing.
Fortunately, he had already dodged.
But because of that—Rogue had also moved farther away from him.
"Roar! You're all dead!"
This time, Sabretooth was truly enraged.
Like a feral beast, he charged straight at them.
His massive body barreled forward like a rhinoceros.
Cyclops and Storm were both startled.
Professor Charles had told them something was happening here—but not that it would be like this!
They were familiar with Sabretooth.
But when had he become like this?
Had something changed on Magneto's side?
They seemed to recall hearing something about "Devil Fruit users."
Could this be related?
Though many thoughts flashed through their minds,
their priority now was to stop Sabretooth.
Bzzzt—!
Cyclops unleashed a barrage of optic blasts.
Sabretooth's path was completely blocked.
Seeing that he couldn't get close to them,
Sabretooth made a sudden decision.
He stopped dodging.
Bzzzz—!
The powerful energy beam struck him directly.
His body staggered under the impact,
and the hit area was instantly torn apart.
But in the next moment—he steadied himself!
The immense physical enhancement from the Karma Fruit allowed him to withstand Cyclops' attack head-on.
And his powerful regeneration gave him the endurance to keep fighting.
He began walking forward—against the force of the optic blast.
"How is this possible? Is this really the same Sabretooth we knew?"
Cyclops muttered in disbelief.
This—made no sense!
When had Sabretooth become this terrifying?
He adjusted his visor, increasing the output.
Even stronger energy blasts slammed into Sabretooth.
Sabretooth felt the growing pressure—and also realized something was wrong.
Cyclops' energy attacks couldn't be converted into size and strength!
At that moment, he recalled Qin Xiao's words—the Karma Fruit could currently only absorb physical damage!
Energy attacks had to be endured directly.
Realizing this, Sabretooth immediately changed tactics.
He broke away from Cyclops' attack—and charged toward Wolverine instead.
If energy attacks couldn't fuel his power,
then he'd use someone else to block them!
Sabretooth's combat instincts were terrifying.
He grabbed Wolverine in one hand.
In his massive grip, Wolverine truly looked like a ragdoll.
With Wolverine in hand,
Sabretooth turned and charged at Storm and Cyclops again.
Cyclops continued firing his optic blasts—but this time, Sabretooth held Wolverine directly in front of him.
"Scott, stop!"
