Black Cat, Vol 9

The battle between Cerberus and Creed has been joined (see Black Cat, Vol. 8), but Creed has a secret weapon in his pocket. He employed the same nanotechnology that engineered Eve to create a super strong and unstoppable werewolf. With Rinslet in the hands of the Apostles, Nizer makes a deal with Creed. He’ll fight and kill the werewolf, but then Creed will have to release Rinslet. Creed agrees.

At first the battle goes poorly for Nizer. The werewolf is fast and regenerates cut limbs, even his own head. But then Nizer moves so fast the werewolf is unable to heal itself. Both groups are back to a draw when Train arrives, saves Rinslet, and escapes from the castle, leaving them to fight it out. Charden and Kyoko, meanwhile, make the decision to abandon Creed. With everything upended, who will survive this battle?

The story continues in Black Cat, Vol. 10.
