Chapter 174: The end of a betrayal
In the meeting room were the Head Generals always did their regular meetings, there was an uprising there with betrayals left and right. Gunther had just finished killing Rowan and was reveling in his achievement and victory when he was suddenly interrupted by a punch that sent him flying across the room.
Standing up from the rubbles of the wall he was sent to, Gunther was furiously looking at who had punched him.
"You!" Gunther said looking surprised as he turned his head around as if looking for something and his eyes landed on what he was looking for; the dead body of Lila.
"How did you guys manage to kill her?" Gunther asked looking at Jake and his friends standing side by side together.
"Oh, it was pretty easy, I just sliced her head off and I'm going to do the same thing to you." Jake smiled as he raised his sword up and looked at Gunther.

"Haha" Gunther laughed. "Just because you killed a general which is still shocking, you think you can kill me? A Head General?"
"Head General?" Emily asked. "You forfeited the right to call yourself that when you betrayed this academy along with humanity."
"How dare you? How dare you talk to me like that you cocky brats?" Gunther shouted as his Qi was now running rampant in the room trying to suffocate those in the room.
And it worked as Emily and Simyon were now on their knees gasping for breath and trying to fight back while Jake just stood there as if the energy wasn't affecting him.
Truly it wasn't as Jake had activated {Shield of will} to protect him while also covering it with Qi therefore strengthening the shield and letting no harm come over him.
"Interesting, you can still stand after that, very interesting. It's good you didn't fall from that because I want to enjoy killing you with my own hands!" Gunther shouted as he charged right at Jake.
Jake could see Gunther charging right at him with full speed so he quickly went through the motions of The Triple Threat' technique by taking a step back, then pivoting sideways and finally, Gunther was now close enough for Jake to go through the last motion.
As he quickly lunged forward with all his might and struck Gunther on his shoulder where Rowan had struck earlier causing Gunther incredible and immense pain and making him stumble on his footing.
Gunther was now on the floor holding his injury with one hand while his face was contorted with pain and anger as he slowly stood up while looking at Jake.
"Coward!" Gunther shouted as he charged right at Jake again with immense speed that Jake couldn't react in time as he was immediately struck by Gunther's heavy fist that made Jake fly across the room and crash into the hallway of the room.
{-2HP}
"Shit! That hurt badly." Jake said as he slowly stood up and held his face that was hit and before he could go into the room, Gunther was already outside and in the middle of a strike but Jake quickly activated {Step shift} quickly creating a distance of three metres between him and Gunther.
Gunther's fist crashed into the floor with so much strength and power that the floor cracked and was almost at its breaking point. Jake had successfully managed to get into the room again and he could see Emily and Simyon now standing up.
With Gunther not in the room again, the suffocating feeling that made them unable to move, was now lifted from them and they could finally stand up and could see Gunther rushing into the room.
Quickly acting, Simyon swirled his Qi to his feet and then he pounced off strongly from his position and he was already in front of Gunther in less than a second.
Simyon quickly swung his daggers at Gunther towards his neck but Gunther had leaned avoiding it then he smacked Simyon's hand strongly.
"Stay down you rat, it's that brat I'm after." Gunther said as he planted a heavy foot in Simyon's stomach that sent him skidding in immense pain as Gunther's Qi was somewhat disrupting his Qi properties.
Emily seeing Gunther's strength, she then looked at Jake.
"Why don't you activate that thing?" Emily asked as she could see Gunther coming at them.
"Because it's not time yet." Jake replied as he quickly turned to his system.
{Stun strike}
{Stun strike failed, enemy too powerful}
"What!" That was all Jake could say as he was hit again sending him flying back.
{-2HP}
Gunther was now in front of Emily who had taken the opportunity to infuse her sword with all the Qi she could muster and then stabbed it right into Gunther's stomach making him cough out blood.
Looking down at the sword, Gunther bashed his hands on it breaking it and then he grabbed Emily by the neck and smashed her onto the ground completely breaking the floorboard.
The force of the hit was enough to knock her out but before she fell unconscious, she had one thought on her mind.
'This is the strength of a Head General, how are we supposed to win this?' She asked herself as she finally fell unconscious.
After dealing with the annoying female, Gunther was about to move but then suddenly, he felt intense amount of pain in his stomach area.
Looking down, he could see another sword in his stomach and holding onto it, was a curly black hair teenager and he had a smirk on his face.
"Thanks to Emily, I finally have the opportunity to defeat you." Jake smiled as he twisted his Qi filled sword in Gunther's stomach that was initially injured by Emily.
"System, activate weapon active skill!" Jake shouted and immediately, Gunther started feeling joules and joules of lightning course through his body as he was being electrocuted from the inside making him partially paralyzed.
"You shouldn't have messed with me or this academy." Jake said as he pulled out his sword from inside Gunther and dragged a partially paralyzed Gunther who was still going through immense amount of pain.
Jake dragged Gunther to the window of the room the place he had been heading to where he was told that it was the highest point in the academy.
Then Jake grabbed Gunther and pushed him out of the window partially while still holding onto him.
"I want to throw you out this window, but I can't. So in order for me not to do so, then you better answer my questions." Jake said.
"Now, where is the location of the werewolves?" Jake asked.
"I don't know, and if I knew, what makes you think that I'm going to tell you?" Gunther asked.
"I know you, you don't have it in you to throw me down." Gunther smirked.
"Fine, since you don't know the answer to my question, then you are totally useless to me." Jake said as he finally let Gunther go.
Gunther fell from the peak of the top of the academy and he fell down. When he landed on the ground, instantly he died. No amount of Qi protection could have protected him as the life faded from his eyes.
Jake now looked out wide at the city, and he could see every point in the city without anything hiding from his eyes.
"Now let's see how you work." Jake said as he went to his system to activate his new skill.
{Qi sense} a skill that allowed the user to detect hidden threat within 10m for 1 minute.
The one minute was more than enough for Jake to sense what he wanted to sense. And immediately, dread filled Jake's heart as he kept on feeling the threat he was feeling.
"This, how is the academy meant to handle this?" Jake asked himself as he could feel immense and intense energy sources heading straight for Aurora Academy.
