Thirteen, operating the Ghost, stared at the hound tearing pieces of flesh from the Cypher. Worst of all, its pitch-black hide and fur were slowly starting to change.
'Don't tell me!' Jin had seen it happen before—it could evolve from monsters—but never in his wildest dreams did he imagine a monster evolving from a Cypher.
"Kill the dog, quickly!" shouted Jin. In that very same second, Thirteen's Ghost moved, blinking out of existence and reappearing in front of the beast, its large claw stabbing toward it.
The beast didn't even try to retaliate or dodge; its sole focus was consuming more of A2. It didn't stop even after the claws burrowed deep into its body, black blood gushing from the wound before closing on its own.
'Regeneration, of fucking course, that mutt has that as well.' Normally, regeneration wasn't a big deal, but the amount the dog could manage in a single second was astounding.
