I Didn't Choose the Gangsta System, the Gangsta System Chose Me

Upon seeing the severity of the situation, more gargoyles joined the battle. Without any warning, one had already flown, creating a wild breeze in the surroundings and diving in with one fist forward.

Monstein was cornered from all sides, not knowing who would attack first. This diving gargoyle came out of nowhere from his perspective.

Monstein is not the fighting type of being. He's one who uses pure brute strength to rampage through the battle, overwhelming almost everyone. However, the hurdle to power up is still significant. At the very least, he should defeat one of them to become stronger, and the irony enters there as he wasn't strong enough to accomplish that first step.

Like a key locked inside its own cage, fortunately, he was not the only one there.

The red-headed vampire instantly reacted brutely, countered the diving fist with her own. That confidence of hers stemmed from her strength. This was proven when her fist unstoppably crashed into the gargoyle. It dove to be obliterated.

The stone fragments didn't fall onto the ground. Instead, they all flew towards Monstein, armoring his entirety.

While this all happens, new rounds of attacks from multiple gargoyles are already on their way to the pair.

"Stop him!"

Two of the huge gargoyles slammed their fists towards each enemy. This is where Virena's limits show up. She couldn't at two places at once.

Crash*

Monstein's new armor was partially destroyed from the impact, and so was the fist of the huge gargoyle. Virena, on the other hand, did what she always did, smashing these statue-like creatures into smithereens.

Like a forcefield, new fragments swirled around Monstein, recovering and increasing his armor.

"Is that really the legendary Frankenstein?!"

The gargoyles out of the battle were panicking, but the gargoyle boss raised his hand and stopped their concerns.

"There's no need for worry. We will be fine."

"But, boss, at this rate, Frankenstein going to get stronger and stronger with the vampire's strength!"

"Nope," the gargoyle boss calmly shook his head, "our win is but guaranteed. Frankenstein's strength came from ours, so every clash would result in a neutral outcome. Once the vampire's stamina reaches its limits, that's when we will overwhelm the monster with numbers."

"Doesn't that all comes down to the vampire's stamina?" the gargoyles looked and only saw an unstoppable force smashing through their allies, "Boss, she doesn't seem like she will be stopping soon…."

The gargoyle boss rolled his eyes and explained, "Do we have blood, huh!? She will eventually reach her limit, and with her only source of blood, Frankenstein, whom I don't even know if he's an organism at this point, is covered in stone armor. Can't you think for a minute!?"

The group of gargoyles was taken aback. They were not surprised at their boss getting angry at them. They were surprised that they didn't think of this.

And just like what the gargoyle boss had predicted, Virena's energy began to wear off. Not only was she exerting enough force to smash through the giants, but she's also taking considerable damages that cannot be seen with the naked eye. She's constantly recovering, attacking, and guarding against the seemingly endless enemy.

If Monstein weren't there, then these gargoyles, who were powered by the moonlight, would just come back to their original form after every clash.

Monstein, who has now turned into something like a golem, saw Virena beginning to slow down. He gave one of the giants a punch before running towards her.

"Must… protect!"

He couldn't fail Joren by all means. He swung his monstrous arm towards the smaller gargoyles in the air. However, they easily dodged him like flies. The bigger, the stronger; the smaller, the nimbler.

Ignoring the smaller ones, Monstein charged into one of the giants about to hammer its fists down towards Virena.

Boom*

Standing five meters tall, the two began to exchange destructive attacks. In contrast, Virena would sink into the shadow and surprise the ones with her size. She had to give Monstein power-ups as much as possible as she could feel her strength dwindling.

However, with how big Monstein is, smaller fragments no longer boost him as he is cornered by more giants.

"Just a little more!"

Virena shouted, not knowing if Monstein could hear her or not.

"That vampire… she's annihilating every human-size gargoyle we have." the woman gargoyle flew towards the boss in worry.

"We still have me if worse comes to worst."

The boss gargoyle said with still a calm tone. Hearing this made others feel relieved.

Crash*

One of the giants has punched through Monstein's stone armor as a muffled shout of pain could be heard within. The fragments that left him went back to form the smaller gargoyles again.

"Hahaha, one more!" the giant laughed and was about to give another strike when Virena came with a dropkick, not only stopping the fist but also destroying the whole arm.

"Gahh!"

The second giant dove forward with its upper arm at the front, intending to collide with Virena.

Mid through it, Virena looked for any nearby shadow where she could sink in. However, she was far from the ground…

She received the giant's full charge and weight without any defense except raising and crossing her arms.

Bam*

Virena helplessly hell to the ground, crashing into the ground.

"Ugh…!" she gritted her teeth as dizziness clouded her mind. The only thing she can remember at that point is another giant, not a gargoyle, standing in front of her.

Fragments after fragments were shaved off until Monstein was back to his original size while the gargoyle's number went back from the start.

"So, Frankenstein doesn't have any blood. How fortunate. Vampires are at their best after a warm drink of it, after all."

The gargoyle boss smile, not surprised at this ending. He walked and stood in front of Monstein, who could even barely stand.

"I will… protect her!"

Monstein spread his arms in an attempt to cover Virena. Hearing this, the latter would be ashamed if she were to just lay down there.

"No, it's fine…" she said as she pulled Monstein back and faced the gargoyle boss herself. But like Monstein, she was wobbling. Obvious that one solid hit made her paralyzed.

It's surprising to see her standing up like this.

"You're all dead," she said, making the gargoyles look at each other. They don't know if they should laugh at this. How could she still say that when they were back at square one but could even barely stand?

"Dead? I don't think so." the gargoyle boss said with scorn as he just passed through Virena to deliver the final kill to Monstein.

In his eyes, Monstein was too dangerous to keep alive.

But a hand grabbed onto his shoulder.

"Stop…"

Virena said. Even though she was dizzy and barely even knew what was happening, she could put all her power into that one grip.

Crack*

The gargoyle boss' arm received webs of cracks from the grip alone, making the other gargoyles surprised.

However, the boss just simply held her wrist with a tighter and firmer grip.

"Argh…" Virena groaned in pain as her hand was pulled from its clutch. From this, it's revealed that the gargoyle boss' pure strength was more than the vampire.

"You will sell high." the gargoyle boss smiled when, out of nowhere, a hand got a hold of his wrist too.

"Sorry, she's not for sale."

The hand further tightened its grip, shattering the boss' wrist. Seeing this man, the edge of Virena's lips curled as she fell to his chest.

"Wait, don't sleep yet."

The newly-arrival man took out a gun and pointed it near his shoulder.

Boom!*

Instead of the sound of a gunshot, it was like a cannon rather, but even that only grazed the man's skin, making a few droplets of blood come out.

Virena's instincts kicked in with the delicious smell entering her nostrils. At the next moment, she tried to sink her fangs into the target's neck but failed as she felt her fangs would break if she continued to for it. She had no choice but to sip the wound.

Meanwhile, the gargoyle boss was stunned at seeing his own wrist in pieces while his hand fell limply to the ground. Though this shattered wrist instantly recovered, it still shocked him as this body was compressed stones. He was harder than diamond and heavier than the giants.

That's why he's the boss.

Soon afterward, Virena felt so full after a few sips. Her mind went frenzy and with this energy, she felt like she can kill everyone there in an instant. However, when the man leaned forward, instead of lashing out to him first, she stood still.

"Thank you and sorry I'm a bit late. Take Monstein out of here and tell him good job."

Virena nodded and even though she was filled with bloodlust, she followed the man's orders. Before everyone's eyes, she disappeared and reappeared where Monstein was lying down. Just like her, when he saw this man arrive, he was filed with relief that he let loose and fainted.

"Stop her!" the gargoyle woman shouted when she was the first to react to Virena's actions.

Boom!*

With a pull of a trigger, dozens of gargoyles were pulverized in a straight line by a strong blast.

Virena saw this straight open path as an escape route. She can't sink into the shadow with Monstein in her hands so she ran through.

She was fast, sure, but anyone could've blocked her path. The reason why none did was that they all stared at the man who opened fire with their jaws dropped.

"He pointed THAT at himself earlier!?"

At that moment, the gargoyle boss remembered Virena's words earlier. Just like how the seemingly unstoppable vampire earlier had her limits, the gargoyles, too, have it.

…

"Who's that man!?" Ness was intrigued.

"A man with a gun?"

Jack thought back and didn't know that Virena knew someone so powerful.

Kidrith was surprised to see that none of them knew who that man is, "Oh, that man must be-"

"Hey!"

A man's voice caught all of their attention. They all looked and saw Joren in a suit waving at them.. That is, after getting off a limousine driven by someone Kidrith was familiar with.
