"Andrew!"
"Andrew!"
Two shocked and furious cries rang out. Rhyme and the remaining assassin could hardly believe their eyes.
Andrew had actually been beaten to death with a single punch?
How was that possible!
Even without transforming, Andrew's physical abilities far surpassed those of an ordinary person.
What exactly was wrong with this young guy?
But now, Rhyme and the other man had no time to investigate that.
The pressure from Rorschach forced them to make a desperate choice.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The bones in Rhyme and the other assassin's bodies began shifting rapidly. Their bodies swelled, and long fur quickly grew over them.
The two men vanished, replaced by two wolves standing upright before everyone.
"Werewolves?"
Rorschach paused slightly.
He had to admit that he had not expected werewolves to exist in this world.
But since werewolves existed, then vampires probably did too.
Rorschach immediately understood what Rhyme had meant by "Living Dead."
They were obviously vampires.
"Shit! This is bad, werewolves!"
"Damn it, why are there werewolves here!"
The expressions of the few remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents turned utterly grim.
Howard Stark's brow furrowed so deeply that it resembled an old chrysanthemum blooming in late autumn.
Ordinary people naturally knew nothing about werewolves, but they were no secret to S.H.I.E.L.D. After all, this was their line of work.
And because of that, Howard Stark knew exactly how dangerous their situation was.
Conventional weapons could not kill werewolves.
Especially after transforming, they became true monsters.
They possessed immense strength, savage brutality, and human intelligence.
Unless one used high-powered weapons such as grenades, even the most skilled agents would be helpless against them.
"Danger! Get back here!"
Afraid that Rorschach did not understand the danger, Howard Stark shouted at him.
"You guys, what are you standing around for? Go help him!"
Howard immediately ordered the agents beside him.
Roar!
Roar!
A series of beastly roars suddenly rang out, drawing Howard and the others' attention.
One of the werewolves roared and pounced at Rorschach.
Its jaws hung wide open, the gleaming fangs inside horrifying to behold. Its foreclaws were like blades, sending chills through everyone who saw them.
"Watch out!"
Howard Stark could not help crying out.
"A werewolf? I wonder if it can withstand one of my punches now."
Rather than dodging, Rorschach looked eager to give it a try.
His shoulder jerked, and he threw a punch straight at the werewolf.
Howard nearly jumped out of his skin.
Did this young man have a death wish?
Crack!
But in the next instant, the familiar sound of breaking bones rang out again. The massive werewolf was sent tumbling backward.
Then its chest turned into a bloody pulp, and it lay motionless on the ground.
Clearly, it had followed in its companion's footsteps.
The entire bar fell silent. Anton Vanko, Howard Stark, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents all stood frozen in shock.
They simply could not believe their eyes.
The werewolf from before had not transformed, so that was one thing. But this one had already transformed!
Did that not mean he had killed a wolf with one punch?
Even Captain America probably did not have that kind of strength, right?
Howard Stark was completely dumbfounded.
"How is this possible!"
Rhyme's heart was thrown into a stormy sea. He could not believe what he was seeing no matter what.
Precisely because he was a werewolf himself, he understood even better what kind of power werewolves possessed.
And he understood even more clearly what it meant to kill one with a single punch.
A monster!
People who saw them often called them monsters, but compared to them, that young man was the real monster.
"Run!"
After regaining his senses, Rhyme immediately made that decision.
How could he still care about Howard Stark? He decisively turned and fled at top speed.
But would Rorschach let Rhyme escape?
If he did not act, that was one thing. But once he did, he would not let a single one get away.
He suddenly exerted force beneath his feet and stomped hard against the ground.
Crack!
The tremendous force crushed a pit into the floor, and cracks spread outward like a spiderweb.
Propelled by the enormous recoil, Rorschach shot forward like a cannonball.
He appeared in front of Rhyme first.
Blocking Rhyme's path just like that.
Seeing that there was no way out, Rhyme could only fight Rorschach. He opened his jaws wide, roared, and lunged at him.
But Rorschach merely reached out, gripping Rhyme by the throat in an instant.
Rhyme's huge body seemed as though someone had pressed pause. No matter what he did, he could not advance another inch.
His claws flailed wildly as he struggled, raking across Rorschach's body.
But it was like clawing at steel. He did not affect Rorschach in the slightest.
At most, he left a few red marks on Rorschach's skin and scraped away a little flesh.
Rorschach was quite satisfied with his current physical toughness.
"Claws are claws, but werewolf claws are far inferior to Sabretooth's."
Sabretooth's claws could easily slice through a car's exterior!
Rorschach still had the leisure to think about that at a time like this, which showed that werewolves truly could not put even the slightest pressure on him.
"Let's end this."
Bang!
Rorschach then raised his other hand and punched Rhyme directly in the chest.
Crack!
Rhyme, who had been struggling in Rorschach's grasp, suddenly let his head droop. His body went limp and motionless.
Rorschach casually flung him aside, tossing him to the ground like a piece of trash.
Mission complete. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 50 Origin Points!
At that same moment, such a system notification flashed through Rorschach's mind.
Fifty Origin Points received.
It was only a tiny amount, but even a small amount was still something. Rorschach did not mind.
However, after checking, Rorschach discovered that 50 Origin Points could currently only strengthen a single attribute and could not increase the overall unlock progress.
Of course, that was understandable. After all, that few Origin Points could not even unlock 1% progress.
Rorschach simply left the Origin Points untouched for the time being.
He would use them later, once he had accumulated enough Origin Points beyond the base unlock requirement.
