Originally Gary had gone into what he deemed was his final special lesson confidently. He knew it would be a little bit tough, but he never imagined something on this scale. For something to trigger a warning from the system.
'A beast that will really give me as much trouble as when I faced against Midwak… is that even possible?' Gary thought.
The barrier had been lifted, allowing Gary to see the beast in full sight, but just at a glance it was hard to tell if it was fierce or not, and he had no idea about a certain fact that those from NIRV knew, the fact that this beast was classified as a humanoid one as well.
It was standing on its two muscular legs that looked like tree trunks. They were thick, solid, and muscular and it was hard to see where the toes were on the beast. The theme of its muscular body continued upward on its human-like shape, but around its chest area, it looked like the beast had an exoskeleton. Almost like a ribcage, but on the chest going toward the centre.
The exoskeleton on its body continued as parts of white bone around the darkened purple skin could be seen going out towards its forearms and reaching up towards its head to the point where one could only see its eyes peeking through.
'I can't tell how strong it is, but this thing is definitely something that will give me nightmares for the next few days.' Gary inwardly said. 'The question is should I be careful, or just try and take it out in one blow.'f𝗿𝙚e𝙬𝗲𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵ𝑒𝗹. 𝒄𝑜𝘮
If Gary hadn't received the message from the system, he certainly would have just gone in immediately. In his hesitancy, the beast was the first to make a move. It lifted its large hand that had a white skeleton structure over it making it four times bigger than a regular hand, and proceeded to cut part of the flesh from his body.
It was a strange act, why would the beast hurt itself? When the blood hit the floor though, it started to spread, it didn't look like blood at all and just a pool of darkness. Soon from that very pool of darkness, figures started to rise.
They were forming a shape similar to the beast in front of him, and part of their bodies started to take shape. Now, there were five more beasts that looked identical to the one in front of him.
In fact, if Gary hadn't been keeping an eye out, he would have no clue which one was the real one because the wound had already healed.
'Okay… so the right thing to do would have been to attack first, because now I have to face five of these things.' Gary thought. 'I better go in now, before the situation gets worse.'
Watching from the viewing deck, the ones mainly paying attention were Numba and Apollo, and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"There is a beast that can do something like that… it's now 6 against 1!" Numba argued.
"Yes it is." James answered. "But let's not all throw a hissy fit and panic, until he is in trouble. Who knows your friend might surprise you."
Crowley was giving him quite the side eye as he was getting ready to jump in and help out Gary at any moment. A beast with just this type of power alone, was something he had never seen before in all his time supervising the special lesson. If he was worried before, he was extremely worried now as his foot was tapping against the floor.

Back in the room itself, Gary had decided to act as he ran forward as fast as he could, knowing the opponent was tough he had fully transformed his legs to give him speed and both of his hands were transformed as well, giving him the deadly claws and the werewolf-like strength that he needed.
'I don't get a complete boost in power unless I go into my full werewolf form, and being a Dark Warrior, the boost is only in energy and skills and not my own strength, but if I can't learn to take down a beast like this, when those werewolves come that are even stronger than Midwak, how am I meant to protect them?'
When Gary was within range of one of them, he decided to use his lethal pounce skill. The beast ran forward and struck, but it hit nothing but the air. He was thankful that he used lethal pounce because the strike looked no slower than he was.
Jumping off to the side, he had ended up right in front of another one, but since he was in his Dark Warrior form, lethal pounce was a level 2 skill that made him jump again, but the second time it was an attack.
HIs claws hit the beast right in the chest digging in, and the impact of his power and weight caused the beast to fall over. With his legs though, Gary made sure he was stuck to the beast as he continued to hit it over and over again in its chest, until eventually it just popped right in front of him.
The beast body exploded into nothing but black liquid, and there was no longer anything left for him to hit. In his confusion, another one of the beasts lifted its skeleton hand, and swung right toward Gary, who was quick enough to react with a swing of his own.
When his claws hit against the hard Skull, it stopped midair as there was a power struggle between the two.
'These guys have great strength, and I've lost track of which one is the real one, and which one is the clone.' Gary thought. 'On top of that, my sharp claws that would usually tear through anything, it looks like it can't get through the hard white parts of their body.'
There was one more problem, but Gary was dealing with it in real time, as the other beast swung toward the other side, in the awkward position he was in, he couldn't hit it away as he was still trying to push the first beast back. Lifting his forearm, the skeleton-like giant arm stabbed right through his forearm.
[-18 HP]
The third one was on him, swinging both of its claws towards the front of him. It had stabbed right through his stomach, the white part could be seen through the other end.
[Critical injury]
[-65]
'Sh*t.' GAry thought, as he could taste blood in his mouth.
