Chapter 171: A Friendship Shattered
Calling Rowan into a false meeting, Gunther then revealed his plans of inviting Rowan into the werewolves group so they could both be safe together.
But Rowan refused the offer as it felt like he was betraying humanity which Gunter had already done by joining hands with the werewolves.
Rowan in annoyance, was about to leave the meeting room when he was struck by Lila who had been standing guard outside earlier and then, they started attacking Rowan together.
After busting Rowan's lips with a full on powerful Qi punch that sent Rowan flying, Gunther along with Lila now dashed towards him to try and finish the job.
With a swing of her sword, Rowan deflected it skillfully and he was about to strike back but he was interrupted by Gunther who threw a powerful punch his way.
Quickly ducking, Rowan avoided the hit and struck Gunther in his stomach with his Qi infused sword that only went an inch deep. Then he pushed off from where he was and gave space between him and his assailants.
"Since you have decided to throw our friendship out the window and not hold back your strength in attacking, I have decided not to do the same." Rowan said and suddenly, the whole room felt heavy as energy was spilling in the room.
The energy felt almost suffocating to Lila but Gunther was holding up well as he smiled towards Rowan.
"I see, you are planning to go all out. I have always wondered who was stronger between the both of us and now, I'm gonna get my answer." Gunther smiled as the Qi was spilling from Rowan who held his sword and directed the energy to his sword making it practically glow.
With a swift movement, Rowan lifted his sword up then he looked at Gunther.
"You shouldn't have done this." Rowan said as he swung his sword in one smooth movement.
"Qi Slash!" Rowan shouted as the attack left his sword and a huge sword slash left his sword and was heading towards Gunther who was now covering himself with Qi as well as his hands.
Then he dashed towards the Slash and swung his hands out trying to break the strike while the energy was currently hitting Gunther and causing cuts all around his body most especially his hands that he was using to block.
Seeing how distracted Gunther was, Rowan dashed towards Lila who was stunned by the speed Rowan exerted.
With a swing of his sword, Rowan hit Lila on the side of her stomach with so much Qi and strength that she was lifted off the ground and go crashing off to the side of the room with a deep cut on her stomach.
Feeling his energy dissipating, Rowan quickly turned around only for his face to be met with a punch from Gunther towards his eyes that it busted one of it and throwing him up causing him to crash into the rectangle table and therefore breaking it.
Slowly standing up, Rowan looked at Gunther with his one remaining eye as he gripped his sword tighter waiting for Gunther to come at him.
That was when Rowan felt some disturbance in the air and quickly, he reacted by swinging his sword rapidly in the air as he was deflecting the invisible Qi projectiles sent his way.
Looking for who was the cause, Rowan could see Lila with her hands held out. Then Gunther dashed towards him and threw a fist strike towards Rowan who immediately ducked and then a bang resounded in the room.
Moving away, Rowan could see that the fist strike had caused a deep hole to appear in the wall from the force of Gunther's punch.
"Shit! He's not pulling back his strength one bit." Rowan cursed as he avoided another projectile from Lila.
Lila quickly darted towards Rowan albeit at a speed which Rowan can handle and then she swung her sword rapidly at Rowan who was now deflecting it skillfully before he planted a heavy foot in her stomach that knocked the wind out of her mouth and sent her flying.
"I'm still a Head General you fool! There's no way you can beat me." Rowan shouted at Lila.
"You are right, and that's why am here." Gunther said as he suddenly appeared in front of Rowan and gave him an uppercut that nearly lifted him up but Gunther quickly grabbed his leg before he could fly up and smashed him on the ground.
Causing the floorboards to break in pieces and Rowan to cough out blood violently. Then Gunther tried to stomp on Rowan's head but he had rolled over avoiding it and then he weakly stood up to see Gunther along with Lila standing on the other side smirking at him.
"Look at you, too weak to do anything. I always thought you were stronger than me but I can see I was wrong." Gunther smiled.
It wasn't that Rowan was weak, it was because he still considered Gunther his friend that was why he couldn't bring himself to seriously hurt him while Gunther didn't care if he hurt him.
"Too bad it's too late for you now." Gunther smirked as he was about to dash towards Rowan who was now weakly standing with his sword propped up helping him stand otherwise he would have fallen over by now.
Before Gunther could do anything, the huge double doors in the room was strongly broken off its hinges and sent flying across the room almost hitting Gunther but he had quickly moved out of the way avoiding it. Discover exclusive tales on empire
Then coming in from the room were young students and the only one he recognized was the one called the werewolf slayer. Not wanting for his mission to be disrupted, Gunther asked Lila to get rid of them and that was what she intended to do as she pushed off towards the students strongly aiming to finish them off with one strike.
