“Bitten?”

Aiden frowned and was about to step forward when Eddie impatiently stepped in front of him.

“Alright, alright. I know you were bitten by a cat. You’re too much. You’re so big, but you can’t even defeat a cat…”

Jack lowered his head and didn’t make a sound. His entire body was trembling slightly.

This scene made Aiden feel that something was wrong. He subconsciously raised his guard and slowly walked forward. “Jack, where were you bitten?”

“Arm… my arm…” Jack held out his right arm, his face full of pain. “Something’s wrong…”

Aiden took a closer look and frowned slightly. From his perspective, there was nothing unusual about Jack’s right arm. It was intact and there was no swelling. However, the blood stains looked a little terrifying.

“Isn’t he fine?” Eddie also came over to take a look. With just one look, he blinked his eyes slyly. “Kid, are you hallucinating because you masturbated too much…”

Before he could finish speaking, Jack suddenly screamed. Then, his right arm began to swell strangely, making strange rumbling sounds, as if there was a wild beast hidden inside.

In the next second, his right shoulder suddenly split open, and a huge blood-red eyeball popped out. The fist-sized pupil stared fixedly at Aiden and the other two. The mucus on the surface of the eyeball kept dripping onto the grass, making a sizzling sound.

“F*ck me!” Eddie yelled in shock, dropping to the floor. “What the hell is that?!”

At this moment, Jack’s emotions were gradually on the verge of collapse. His body kept trembling as he shook his head desperately. “I don’t know, I don’t know… Save me, save me…”

As he spoke, his right arm became thicker. It looked exactly the same as the Slaughter Beast that Aiden and Sophia had encountered in school. In fact, it was much thicker.

What was even more terrifying was that the knuckles of his right hand quickly grew longer. His entire palm became like a huge banana leaf, and his nails grew crazily like five sharp thorns.

Aiden knew that something was wrong with this series of changes. Just as he was about to retreat, the eyeball on Jack’s right shoulder suddenly rolled and stared at him fiercely.

“Sh*t!”

Aiden tensed and was about to step back when Jack’s huge claws rose high and snapped down at him.

At the critical moment, Aiden’s potential erupted. His body suddenly fell backward, and his sharp nails almost grazed the tip of his nose.

BANG!

The claws hit the ground, and a few hideous scratches instantly appeared on the thick stone slab.

Aiden’s eyelids twitched wildly at the sight. If he was caught, he would probably be split into several pieces and die.

Without any hesitation, Aiden turned and yelled at Eddie, who was already scared out of his wits, “Run!”

Eddie snapped out of his daze, yelped, and ran.

Aiden immediately stood up as well, but before he could take another step, an ominous wind blew behind him.

Almost subconsciously, Aiden took a step to the side.

Crack!

The sound of clothes being torn rang out, and Aiden gasped sharply. He ducked as five sharp claws pierced the clothes around his waist, grazing his skin. It was only a light cut, but the skin around his waist was lacerated and bloody.

Aiden was just about to break free when the giant hand closed around him and lifted him high as if he were a chick.

Aiden felt a strong sense of constraint on his waist. He felt all the blood in his body rushing to the top of his head. If he had to describe the feeling, he felt like he was a toothpaste, and his skull was the toothpaste cover.

At this moment, the big hand was trying to force the toothpaste out without opening the lid.

“Run! Run!” Jack’s face was covered in tears. He watched as his good brother was grabbed by him, but there was no way to stop him. His body leaned back desperately, trying to keep his right arm away from Aiden. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not take half a step back. He was even dragged forward by his huge right arm.

Looking at Aiden’s livid face, Jack choked up, his eyes filled with frustration and regret. “I-I’m sorry, Aiden. I…”

At this moment, Aiden couldn’t hear what he was saying. He only knew that if this continued, he would definitely fall into a coma. He might not even know how he died.

He had to think of a way to break free!

Aiden gritted his teeth and activated his Strength Amplification. Powerful strength filled his entire body as he struggled with all his might. However, he had clearly underestimated the strength of this mutated arm. Even though his teeth were bleeding, he could barely pull his arms out from under the control of the large hand.

However, this was enough!

Aiden took out Sophia’s dagger from his back and struggled to stab it into the huge eyeball on Jack’s right shoulder.

Puff!

As the dagger sank into his eyeball, Jack immediately swung his huge right arm with all his might and threw Aiden away.

Aiden fell heavily to the ground and rolled a few times before he managed to stabilize himself. The impact made him dizzy, and the bones in his body ached. It took him a long time to struggle to get up.

At the same time, Jack’s huge right arm danced wildly, as if it was suffering immense pain. Obviously, that eyeball was its weakness.

Just as Aiden thought of this, Jack raised his right arm and pulled out the dagger from his eyeball. A thick yellow liquid splashed out. It was disgusting and unpleasant.

With a clang, Jack’s right arm threw away the dagger and pulled his body, quickly approaching Aiden. His huge eyeballs were filled with crazy killing intent. It was obvious that Aiden’s actions had completely angered him.

“Run! Run…”

Jack shouted in despair, but Aiden’s stamina was already exhausted. The feeling of weakness after the increase in strength surged up. He could barely stand up, let alone escape.

A hint of bitterness appeared in Aiden’s eyes as he watched the huge arm approach.

He had been careless.

If he had been more cautious, he wouldn’t have ended up like this without even having the chance to fight back.

As the huge claw descended, Aiden felt despair in his heart. He slowly closed his eyes and recalled what Professor Martin had said. He laughed self-deprecatingly.

“Looks like I’m not the protagonist of the movie. I don’t have the protagonist’s halo. I’m just as unlucky as the protagonist…”

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, “Stop!”

‘It was Eddie!’
