Chapter 23: Sacrifice
'Indeed, my defenses and resistance against flames had improved so much that I only feel a slight tingle...' Ian moved his body a little at an angle to make sure that his captain behind him won't experience the wild raging blue flames. 'Thankfully my body is huge. Shielding the captain from these wave is just a piece of cake with my huge frame.'
"Captain are you okay," Ian still asked for confirmation.
"Yes, I can manage."
Barseagle's voice echoed behind Ian. Barseagle couldn't help but looked at Ian firm back, akin to a mini fortress. He also inwardly felt ashamed that he was somewhat lacking as a captain. 'No... it's not that I was lacking. I had participated in the last bloody war and the only one that high kill counts whilst still remaining intact. Ian is just a monsters of his own right...' He couldn't help but heave a deep sigh.
'Well, at least he's under my team. In the future, he's become a rising star... Or it might even be a lot sooner than I estimate.'
'It's still a bit hot. Tungsten is sufficient to protect me from Garry's blue flames. Is It safe to say that among Higher Ranked Creatures , Garry's flames must among the top... But this prickly heat is still uncomfortable...'
He felt that his muscles under the armor were being constantly pricked by hundreds of needles every second. Ian frowned slightly. This pain is something he could bear but it was still uncomfortable. 'Maybe I should add radiator in my armor? A cooling system? How much would that even cost??'
It took a full minute before the azure flames receded. At this time, as Garry saw that Ian's body only had few areas with darker spot, but no signs of a minor burn, he finally realized that there's something wrong. Only Ian's arm and feet had visibly darkened, signs of minor scorching. However, Ian's armor look incredibly smooth as if the flames had washed it clean. No damage or dark spot within the scope of the exoskeleton armor... THis made Garry further realized that...
'The armor is indeed the abnormality here. Just who is this guy? He has claws that could claim the lives of true werewolves and he could retract it at will which is great for surprise attacks. He also has tail that can change to fucking shape he wants.' Garry's eyes landed on Ian's armor that has red veins. 'And an armor that could resist the flames of a higher werewolf like me...'
