Chapter 490: A pained and tortured heart!
A few moments ago, while the whole world were putting their lives on the line against the Alpha, while the whole world were wondering where Jake was.
Jake could be seen on another continent, on another planet and he was going through hell. Going through pure torture.
Blood pouring out of his mouths, his hands bloodied as he had dug his nails into his palms drawing blood, lips bleeding from him biting down on it so hard so as to ease the pain.
Why? That was because he was going through a system upgrade and in the process, his mind was going through hell.
He wasn't alone on this place, someone else was with him. The protector of the continent he was on.
Grey Dawn: The Supreme Mage.
A portal shimmered beside Grey, the battle going on, on Jake's planet being displayed right in front of him. Earlier, Jake had made a request that he wanted Grey to create a portal back home so immediately he was done with what he was going through, he would quickly jump through.
Now, Grey was watching the show, his own muscles tensed as he saw the humans fighting against thousands of werewolves as they were falling down like flies.
'Damn it! These are what Jake's people are up against? How are they even able to deal with these?!' Grey thought as he saw some humans shooting our yellow energies shaping it like swords the same way Jake always did.
'That must be what's helping them. But damn! This is a lot.'
"ARGHHH!" Jake roared out in pain as he had his eyes shut and was unaware of what was going on.
Slowly, the battle against the hordes of werewolves was finally over and the Alpha made his move by reviving his dead Generals and then another wave of battle ensued. With only those strong enough facing off against them and they were losing.
'Come on! You need to go through this quickly. Everybody needs you. Your friends! Your family, the guild, the whole world! Come on Jake!' Jake roared inwardly as he tightly clenched his hands when he heard a shout, the voice eerie familiar as he quickly snapped his eyes open.
And there, he could see it. A shimmering portal displaying the fight, the last stand going on back on his planet.
"H…huh? Argh!" He groaned in pain as he peeled his eyes open staring at the fight going on between the world leaders, some of the core members of his guild and against the Beta werewolves.
"What's going on?" Jake muttered to himself as he saw the fight. How his allies were struggling to even land successful hits. Rex was having it a lot easier as he was going all out, landing hits after hits.
Seeing his friends battling hard, made him want to jump straight into the portal but he could barely move a finger. Just keeping his eyes open and peeled was torture enough.
The fight kept dragging on until the Alpha finally stepped forward calling his Generals back.
'Wait! Is…isn't that Rivock? Wh.. what's he doing there? Wa…wasn't he supposed to be dead? Why are the werewolves listening to him? What's going on back at home?' Jake thought and then he saw Rivock transformed partly and then a new battle ensued.
Every single person there band together against the Alpha werewolf and just mere looking at them from the portal, he could see how exhausted, weak and injured they all are.
They were pushing through their limits with grit and fighting with all they had trying to bring Rivock down. While they were using all skills they could muster, Jake watched Rivock leap into the air and then Paul sent his shield flying towards the werewolf.
The shield was caught and then retuned back to Paul but in the process, he got sliced in half. Jake's eyes widened in horror.
'NOOOOO!' Jake roared inwardly as he saw Paul slowly slump to the ground, his heart tightening as he saw the General lay dead on the ground. 'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all! I should be there! I'm supposed to there! If I was, General Paul wouldn't have died! ARGHHH!'
"Jake," Grey softly called out without turning around. "I know seeing your friends and allies dropping down, you must be seething inside. But I want you to focus on what you are going through right now."
"ARGHHHH!" Jake roared both in anger and pain as tears freely trickled down his face. After General Paul's death, he began seeing the others dropping down.
First Raze, then Berg, then Rex. And with all the deaths, his head ached, his chest tightened and his eyes moistened.
'Curse it all! I will kill him, I will freaking kill that betrayal! ARGHHH!' Jake cried in his mind when he saw Alex angrily dash forward. 'No! Alex will get himself killed. No! I can't lose him, I can't freaking lose him too!'
"Gr…Grey." Jake called out with a cough and a grunt. "Ac…activate the portal, I need to get back now."
"What?!" Grey shouted as he quickly spun around to face Jake who's eyes were now slightly red, his hands twitching in pain. "You are not done with what you are doing. Look at you! You are in no shape to fight, if you do, you would be killed instantly."
"And if I don't, the family I have suffered to build over the years will all die. I… I can't risk losing them. Th…the werewolves took…took my parents when I was younger, can…can't let them do the same now. I…I… I need to get back ASAP now!" Jake roared and then his body spasmed in pain again.
"Let him go." Noir whispered in Grey's mind.
"Fine." Grey sighed, his hands glowing bright white while Jake slowly pushed himself off the ground with all his might, his teeth grinding against each other.
Thrusting his hand forward, the bright light from Grey's hands struck the portal and instantly, it lit up brightly with Jake dragging his legs towards the portal, he was now an inch away from it when he suddenly turned around to stare at Grey, his system softly glowing in front of him.

But he paid no attention to it as he grit his teeth and then turn began speaking to Grey.
"Grey, thank you so much for all you have done for me. With the short time I have spent here, yo…you have really helped me a lot. Thank you dear friend." Jake said and without looking back, he jumped straight into the portal which immediately snapped shut behind him.
"You're welcome dear friend. If you manage to survive, I will come to your universe and pay a visit. Till then, good luck." Grey smiled softly as the portal finally shimmered out of existence.
And all of that led to Jake descending from the sky with sparks of lightning shooting out everywhere, his teeth grit as he glared at Rivock in anger.
"You take one more step, I will slice your head off. Not like I wasn't planning on doing that earlier." Jake said as he came out from the middle of the bright light as a figure stepped forward.
