Chapter 136 - Revenger (1)
A moment later, everything went dark as Ashton went flying in the opposite direction. He lost consciousness the moment Gorillan's fist connected with his face which was a good thing as he would not want to know what happened to him next.
After colliding and totalling down at least a dozen trees, Ashton finally stopped rolling around. But his condition did not look great. Although his armour cushioned most of the damage, he still got his head split open and blood oozed out of his facial orifices.
While he was still unconscious multiple notifications popped up in front of him, basically informing him about the injuries he sustained. But Ashton couldn't see nor interact with them.
With just one attack, his health was reduced from 97% to 5%, and even that was reducing rapidly. But then all of a sudden it stopped declining. In a flash, his wounds started to heal by themselves like some miracle. Then the final notification appeared before his closed eyes.

In the meantime, Seven stood in front of the Gorillan unable to comprehend what had just happened there. Why would that idiot not dodge the attack!? It didn't seem like he was suicidal or anything, then why the hell did he do something like this?
No matter what Seven thought, he knew he was fcked. Jonathan would not let this kind of thing slide. On top of that, he was supposed to protect Ashton from scenarios like these from ever taking place. But he had failed miserably.
"He'll kill me... he'll make me beg for death..." Seven hysterically began mumbling to himself, completely ignoring the fact that the Gorillan was still there, right in front of him.
Well, his life was already over. Why would he care about defeating a Gorillan? In fact, no matter what the gorillan did to him, it would be far better than what the king would do to him once he got to know that he failed in protecting his 'property'.
Seven thought about running away, but he knew that would only enrage the king even more. he could even find out about the love of his life and torture her till he surrendered himself. He could not allow something like that to happen.
No matter what he did, he was screwed... completely screwed. His life was over. The only way he would ever have peace would be if he died right there. That way, everyone else would think he died while protecting Ashton till his last breath.
"Yes... it's the only way. I have to die."
Seven had simply thought about it and his body started moving on its own. Everything was a bit hazy. He couldn't focus on anything anymore. Still, his body was working on autopilot.
His armour fell right next to his feet while he brought the sword right in front of his heart. He took a deep breath and was about to plunge the sword in his chest when he felt something rush past him. Maybe it was due to his hazy vision or simply his inability but he couldn't see what had rushed past him.
However, a moment later, he saw it clearly... it was Ashton. His hair, his face, his armour, everything was soaked in blood and yet there wasn't a single wound on his body. A moment later he jumped in the air.
Ashton was at eye level with the gorillan and the next moment he kicked the creature right in the head. Seven didn't know what he had expected to happen, but he certainly did not expect the 8-foot tall creature to get flung sideways with a simple kick of someone who should have been level 14.
Then it hit him. The reason why Ashton allowed the gorillan to hit him...
"He wanted to level up..." Seven mumbled absentmindedly.
He was still shocked. Out of all the ways a werewolf could earn exp, this was the most... unconventional way. Not a single soul that Seven knew had ever used such a trick to achieve their goals.
But even if Ashton levelled up and got a class, it didn't mean he could do what he just did. From what seven remembered, no matter what skill or ability a werewolf had, they would have to choose their first class from one of the five basic classes.
Warrior, Defender, Archer, Assassin and Magician. These were the only classes a werewolf could obtain. But the problem here was... none of these classes had the explosive damage output like what Ashton just showed off.
Also, even if he had obtained a class, he was still at level 15. How could someone like that knock out a creature that had to be at least at level 20? It simply didn't make any sense! If it hadn't happened right in front of him, he would have never believed it either.
"Why are you topless? Were you giving the bastard a strip or something? And I thought I was weird." Ashton looked over his shoulder, "I mean... I'm not one to judge but really?"

"Fck, he's still alive?" Ashton sighed heavily before appearing in front of Seven in a flash, "I'm sorry about this. Well... not really."
"Sorry about what-"
Before Seven could even complete what he was saying, Ashton knocked him unconscious. Then rushed back towards the Gorillan who was struggling to get back to his feet.
"Not consuming your flesh and blood would be such a waste..." Ashton mumbled with a sadistic smile on his face, "I wonder what kind of skill I would get from you. Well, there's only one way to find out. While I am at it, might as well get some of Seven's blood.. Now that I have some mana, it will be good to have some better skills."
