Chapter 172: Death of Head General Rowan
Bursting through the meeting room where the Head Generals usually had their meetings were Jake, Simyon and Emily. Immediately they entered the room, their eyes caught Rowan who stood in the centre of the room with injuries riddled on his body from head to toe.
After explaining why he did what he did, Gunther ordered Lila to go and get rid of the students that had interrupted their mission.
With a swing of her blade, Jake quickly avoided it. Then Emily swung her own sword but Lila had blocked it using her invisible Qi.
Simyon had quickly attacked with his daggers but he was kicked back by Lila which sent him skidding. Jake had quickly come in with a powerful kick that sent Lila skidding into Emily's path who had now lifted her sword about to strike.
But Lila quickly turned around to block the sword which she successfully did. Then Simyon came in with a dagger slash to Lila's legs that only went an inch deep.
Kicking Emily away, Lila grabbed Simyon by his hair and was about to slam him on the floor but Jake had performed {Step Shift} and suddenly he was in front of Lila.
Then Jake swung his sword that was covered in immense amount of Qi on Lila's hand. When the sword clashed with Lila's hand, it was struggling against it because of Lila's Qi.
Shockwaves spread out as Jake's and Lila's Qi were battling it out against each other. Finally, Jake's sword managed to slice Lila's hands off cleanly causing Simyon to drop down.
Lila was in shock after seeing her hand on the floor.
"You… you… you managed to cut my hand off, how?" Lila asked. Even though she had been fighting against Rowan for a long time, she still had enough Qi to protect herself.
"Now I see why Gunther wanted you dead, you are an anomaly in our plan." Lila said as she dashed forward but she had failed to realize a kick that was heading for her head which made her go skidding.
The kick came from Emily who now dashed towards her trying to finish Lila off.
"You are a disgrace!" Emily shouted as she swung her sword at Lila who managed to avoid it and gave Emily a kick in her stomach but she bared through the pain and pushed forward.
"We looked up to you all! Especially me, I looked up to you. I always thought if you could achieve this strength and position, so can I. But rather than using your strength to help humanity, you are using it against humanity." Emily shouted as she let her Qi run wild and erupt out of her body.
Simyon had quickly come in with a wack to Lila's head sending her flying towards Emily who quickly jumped up and planted a strong Qi filled kick on her stomach making her cough out blood.
Continue your journey on empire
Jake had quickly performed {Step shift} again to get in front of Lila.
"Your greatest mistake was ever underestimating us!" Jake said as he swung out his sword quickly at Lila's neck therefore cutting her head off cleanly.
That was the end of General Lila's life. Immediately Lila died, Jake received a notification but he didn't have time to check it because there was still another trouble in the room in the form of the Head General Gunther Reign.
Immediately Gunther had given the order for Lila to go after the students, he went towards Rowan who was struggling to even stand but seeing Gunther, he managed to muster the strength to stand and even raise his sword.
"Haha, look at you." Gunther laughed. "Look at your pathetic state, no one would even believe that you are a Head General of this prestigious academy."
Still looking at Gunther, Rowan erupted in energy again albeit weaker than before but it was still enough to deal with a General but a Head General, Rowan wasn't sure.
Dashing towards Rowan, Gunther threw a punch but Rowan narrowly avoided it and then he moved away because Gunther had swung his legs out that nearly caught Rowan if he hadn't moved.
The kick caused Qi explosions around them showing Rowan that Gunther meant business since he was using so much energy.
"How… how do you have so much energy?" Rowan asked as he was looking straight at Gunther.
"The Alpha always blesses those that works for him. You could have had unlimited energy but you refused." Gunther said.
"Haha, there would surely be a side effect." Rowan said trying to buy time so he could regain even the slightest energy.
"Do you think I'm a fool? I know what you are trying to do and it won't work!" Gunther shouted as he pounced from his position strongly cracking the floorboard he stood on earlier.
And now he was in front of Rowan who was in the middle of a powerful swing that landed on Gunther's shoulder going a metre deep and causing Gunther pain.
Then with all the Qi he could muster, Gunther coated his hands and fingertips with so much Qi that his hands was shaking from power.
In one smooth motion, Gunther threw his hands out into Rowan's chest therefore destroying his heart in the process.
"Goodbye old friend, I will surely miss you." Gunther said with a smirk on his face as he could see the life fade from Rowan's face.
"I hope you rot and… burn in…hell. I know that I would surely be avenged… either by Humfree, or… or… or someone else." Rowan said as he could feel his energy leave his body.
"Oh really?! By who?" Gunther asked with a smirk on his face as he let Rowan's body drop down.
"By me!" A voice was heard shouting and then a powerful earth shattering punch landed on Gunther's face that sent him flying and crashing into a wall.
