All eyes now were fixated on the monstrous canid that stood in the place of Jason; measuring six feet and nine inches tall at the shoulder, it was indeed a huge beast.
"How-how's that possible?! Our scans should have traced any Werewolf in the city!!," Esmeralda thought in fear as she wondered how a Werewolf was in Pardour.
She then thought to herself as she looked at an unconscious Dante on her laps, "Did Dante know about Jason's true form? If so, why didn't he tell anyone?"
Endo, on the other hand, seemed pleased with delight.
"Incredible!! I get to not only see a Werewolf up close, but I claim it as my one of my prized monster collections!!," he laughed in excitement.
But as soon as he said that, the Werewolf growled and snarled at Endo in anger and rushed towards the huge snake-man.
"Oh no, you don't!!," Endo said as he reacted against the Werewolf's attack; he was however unable to prevent it from grabbing a piece of its tail as it dodged Endo's attempt to capture it.
This made Endo wail in pain as he saw the Werewolf holding a piece of the snake's tail in its mouth and growled back.
"Ahhhh!! I'll get you, you mutt!!," he yelled as he lunged his snake-head towards the Werewolf, but was blocked by Viola.
"You're not devouring anyone here, even this Werewolf!!," she yelled at Endo as she tried with all her might to block the twenty-ton heavy snake with her sword.
Viola however kept her distance from the Werewolf -fearing it could attack her by surprise- but sufficient enough to prevent the snake-head from devouring the Werewolf.
"Your fight is with me now," Viola said to Endo as she positioned her in a samurai pose, preparing to attack.
"This should be fun!! Let's see how good your Mana is in person before I consume everyone here, even you!!," Endo retorted and lunged towards Viola, who also rushed to meet him and clashed to each other before trading attacks.

At this point, Vincent -albeit fully awake but still weak to engage in combat- was horrified at the deadly sight in front of him, breathing heavily and growling angrily.
"Jason, is that you? I can't believe it. How is this possible?!," Vincent asked the Werewolf, hoping that somehow he would get a response from it.
Suddenly, Vincent heard a soft but unclear mutter in his head, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
He then turned to the Werewolf -who was now more calm and its eyes are now less ferocious, with the snake tail still in his mouth- and asked, "Are you trying to tell me something?," which the Werewolf nodded to Vincent's shock.
"It is you!! That settles at least who is our enemy now!!," Vincent said and sighed, pleased with the situation.
He then looked beyond Jason's Werwolf form, which it also turned and growled at they both looked at Endo, who had blocked Viola's Slashing Enlightenment avatar from getting a grip on him.
Vincent got up fully recovered and then looked at the Werewolf.
"It seems I can understand Jason's Werewolf speech; at least his emotions and thoughts," he thought to himself.
The Werewolf dropped the snake tail piece in the ground, then sniffed Vincent and started licking Vincent to which he sighed, "Fortunately, he recognizes me, even in this form."
"Regardless, it's a good thing he's our side because we now have one main problem: taking Endo down!!"
"But I can't really use my Mana for a while, although I've fully healed my body. So how can I—," he stopped as he looked at Jason's Werewolf and he saw that it indicated Vincent to mount on its back.
Vincent then looked at the Werewolf's face and they both nodded, indicating an agreement since he immediately mounted on it and said, "Alright, Jason!! Let's finish this snake!!"
"This should buy me some time as I fully recharge my Mana since that snake body drained me as it constricted me!!," he thought and clenched his fists.
The Werewolf howled in reply, which pleased Vincent as he rubbed its neck and they both rushed at Endo.
