Chapter 180: Turning the tide
Everybody were feeling despair after seeing the notification that appeared in front of them including the students that were battling against the King tier beast.
They were in the middle of an attack when the notification flashed in front of them all.
{Skill guild overdrive has ended.}
This notification worried them a lot as their attacking power had now reduced significantly and the Gorrila noticed it so it used it to its advantage.
Quickly, it slammed its six hands together strongly causing a shockwave to spread out towards the students that were already charging right at it therefore causing them to fly back.
"What are we going to do now? How are we going to win this fight?" Sophia asked holding onto her side as she was feeling immense amount of pain.
That was when they could see the beast charging right at them on all fours again. Despite their injuries, they still gripped their weapons tighter and waited for the beast to come at them.
That was when crashing down in between the students and the Gorrila, was a figure with a black mask in a gold and brown armour standing in front of them all while raising his sword up.
Then his sword was now glowing brightly and shaking in power as the werewolf slayer was now infusing his sword with immense amount of Qi but he was careful not to use all his Qi so he wouldn't be defenseless.
The beast was now charging right at the figure as if it wasn't a threat at all and the beast just treated the human figure as any other human.
Then when the beast was within striking distance, the werewolf slayer now implemented that last phase.
"Activate lighting strike!" Jake said as his sword was now sparkling and crackling then Jake swung his sword towards the Gorrila beast.
"Lightning Qi Slash!" Jake shouted and a huge slash made entirely of Qi while being surrounded by lightning, crashed into the beast who on seeing the slash, lifted it four arms to block the strike.
The slash was strong enough to cut through the Gorrila's hands and also electrocuting the beast with jolts of lightning.
Finally, the strike dissipated and the beast was seen riddled with a lot of injuries and its four arms sliced off cleanly dripping out black blood while its body was torched as if burnt with fire but it was because of the lightning.
The students stood there with their mouths agape as they could all see the beast they had been struggling against with all six of them against it and they couldn't even injure it not in the slightest but this stranger did more than that in just one strike.
"Isn't that the same mask the werewolf slayer wore before?" Harry asked as he was on his knees panting hard.
"Yeah, the werewolf slayer that later turned out to be Jake right?" Emily asked as she was holding onto her head and stomach at the same time.
"But is that really Jake?" Peter asked. Stay updated via empire
"That is Jake alright." Sophia said. " I recognize that armour of his from when he had brought it back from the blacksmith."
"Now that you mention it, that looks identical to the armour he brought back that day." Jack said also recognizing the armour.
"We know Jake is strong, especially since we saw him fight against that Beta werewolf." Peter said.
"But why do I feel that he is stronger than before especially with that giant slash he did earlier. I mean, we had faced against a king tier beast before and we struggled a lot."
"Although Jake didn't use his full strength earlier but now, this is really ridiculous." Peter exclaimed.
Oblivious to their conversation, Jake dashed towards the stunned beast then he lifted his sword above his head and smashed it on the beast's head while coating his sword with Qi.
The blade smashed on the beast's head cutting it a little bit before the Gorrila smacked Jake off its head sending him flying.
But not too far as Jake managed to stop skidding and then charge back at the beast again. Before he got close, Jake shot out lots of invisible Qi projectiles at the beast.
They landed perfectly injuring it by bit.
Then Jake activated {Step shift} a skill that could allow him close or create a distance of 3 metres quickly.
Which he used to his advantage as he was suddenly in front of the beast. Then Jake activated {Strength surge} a skill that boosted the user's strength by a total of 10 percent.
Jake then coated his sword with Qi again and slammed it on the beast's head the exact place he had injured earlier.
The sword managed to slice through the beast's head and then divided it up till it reached the end of its body and also slicing part of the ground up after hitting the ground.
Everybody stood there with their mouths agape after seeing what had just happened in front of them.
"He is just growing stronger and stronger rapidly." Jack commented feeling a little bit jealous.
Looking around the battlefield, Jake could see that around 10 metres away from where he stood, the dozens of advanced tier beast were still fighting against the humans and the soldiers were slowly dying.
And then at the fore front, Jake could see Alex and Simyon fighting hard even though they were quite tired.
Quickly, Jake ran backwards for a metre then he ran forward with all his strength while he activated.
{Adrenaline rush} a skill that temporarily increased a user's speed and agility by 2 percent for 2 minutes.
Therefore boosting his speed. On the way running, Jake started building up his Qi in his sword. He kept on building and infusing making the sword shaking with immense amount of power.
And finally, he was close to the battlefield with his sword that was still shaking because of the amount of Qi in it. It felt like the sword wanted to break because of the amount of energy in it.
That was when Jake quickly slammed his sword on the ground dispelling the gathered energy in the sword outwardly causing huge shockwaves to spread out and hit the beasts that were attacking and some of the humans.
Looking at the soldiers, Jake said one sentence to them.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
