Chapter 493: Evolution!
"Uhm guys! Am I seeing things or is this real?" Peter could help but ask as everybody stood utterly stunned while they watched the battle between Jake and the Alpha.
"I mean, unless we both have eye defects, then this is real." Sophia muttered, her voice dry as she kept her eyes peeled at the fight.
"How on Earth is Jake toying around with the Alpha?! Yes, the Alpha hasn't fully transformed yet, but damn it! Jake hasn't even used half his full power we are used to. So how the hell is this possible?! Kuk!" Alex shouted and then he began coughing in pain.
"What is going on? What did Jake go through where he was coming from?" Kate mumbled under her breath as she stared at the terrifying battle.
'Rex my dear friend. Is this what you meant when you said Jake is our only hope? Our hope of winning this war? Damn it! Damn it all! I hate that you are not here to see this.' Bane thought, his hands were tightly clenched as he kept grinding his teeth back and forth.
The whole world couldn't comment again as they slumped back in their seats while watching what was going on.
"Oh! So you can bleed?!" Jake asked in a fake surprise as lightning began coiling around him, his sword, legs, body and even face was crackling with lightning as he grinned widely.
"Good to know. Because I want your head!" Jake roared as a thunderclap resounded around the place as he leapt towards the Alpha like a thunderbolt himself.
His sword was now seeing falling down towards the Alpha's head.
"You have begun pissing me off now." Vornak grumbled as he clenched his hands, his claws retracting, his arm becoming furry and bulging while he watched the sword descend from above towards his head.
"I'm sure you are hungry, eat my fist!" The Alpha said as he immediately sent his transformed fist flying towards Jake who had his eyes widened on seeing the incoming attack.
"Shit!" Jake mumbled as he quickly brought his sword in front of him as an earth shattering bang was heard when Vornak's fist crashed into the sword.
For a second, Jake hovered in the air after blocking the hit and the next second, the ground beneath them shattered as Jake's body was now hurled far away, blood trailing out his mouth as he slammed into the ground, bouncing and then finally coming to a halt.
"Jake!" Kate shouted and was about to dash forward but Jake simply raised his hand stopping her from taking a single step.
He was about to stand up when his system screen flashed in front of his face twice.
{-30HP}
{Absorption rate: 96%}
'Crap! I didn't even receive the punch directly, I had blocked with my sword and yet, a whole 30HP got removed. How strong is he?!' Jake thought inwardly as he glanced down to stare at his sword that strangely didn't have any scratch on it.
'Luckily, I got this sword made by a dwarf friend of Grey's. It was both made from a level 20 beast which is our equivalent of an S tier beast and also made with a type of special material making it totally indestructible.'
"Will you focus on the fight now?! Stop freaking reminiscing." Zee anxiously shouted in Jake's mind pulling him out of his thoughts as he saw the Alpha leaping into the air, aiming to crash onto the laying Jake.
"Shit!" Jake muttered as he quickly rolled away just in time as the Alpha crashed into the ground causing a huge amount of shockwave to ripple out and a deep crater was formed beneath his body.
"You are fast." Jake called out as he slowly rose up, his system flashing in front of his eyes.
{Adrenaline Rush activated}
Jake's body immediately felt lighter, a soft wave of yellow energy could be seen surrounding his feet as he grinned at the Alpha who was ready to attack.
"So I just need to go faster!" Jake roared as he exploded from his position moving like a blur, his sword moving in a precise arc aimed at taking the werewolf's head but instantly, it's claws elongated which Vornak shot forward clashing against Jake's sword producing a shockwave.
"Strong." Vornak grinned and the both fighters quickly leapt away from each other to give distance as they glared at one another.
"Why aren't you fully transforming? Do you want to fight me at half your strength?" Jake asked as he pointed the tip of his sword forward.
"I also know you have been holding back. This isn't your full strength. So tell me, why are you holding back?" Vornak asked as he crossed his claws in an X shape.
"Simple. Because you have been holding back!" Jake shouted as he bolted straight for Vornak.
"And that's because you are not worth me going ultra mode." Vornak grinned as he also dashed forward and the next instant, the two met in the center in a mini bang.
The Alpha swung his fist towards Jake's face but he simply took a single step back. A punch was aimed at the side of his neck but he quickly sidestepped avoiding the hit and then…
Lightning coiled around Jake's feet as he suddenly exploded forward, his sword now glowing yellow with Qi energy which he swung forward, aimed at the Alpha's neck.
"Too predictable." Vornak grinned as he swiftly spun around and brought his claws right in front of him absorbing the impact of the sword strike without flinching at all.
"Am I?" Jake asked with a raised eyebrow when Vornak heard crackling sounds behind him.
Jake quickly leapt away as Vornak turned around to see a hundred lightning arrows right in front of his eyes which quickly slammed into him sizzling and paralysing him instantly as his eyes widened in shock and pain.
"AWHOOO!" Vornak howled in pain as his fangs grinded against each other while Jake frowned deeply.
"Stop howling and just die!" Jake roared as he blitzed towards the stunned werewolf, his sword glowing bright yellow from being infused with a huge amount of Qi.
'Damn it! If that sword touch me, I will die immediately.' Vornak thought as he twitches, trying to move but the stun effect from the lightning arrows was too much.
"Goodbye Vornak." Jake grinned as he swung his sword towards the Alpha's neck aiming to take his head off when…
{Absorption rate: 100%}
{System upgraded and booted}
{To match the system's new power and strength, host will now need to evolve}
{Evolution process has begun}
{Good luck host}
Immediately the last system message flashed in front of his, a banging headache instantly slammed into Jake, his eyes bulged, muscles tensed, his sword slipped out of his hand, eyes red as he slumped to the ground and then…
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A chilling, ear piercing scream erupted from Jake as he began spasming on the ground, his bones felt like they were breaking and reforming, his body drenched in cold sweat as everybody kept staring at him in surprise and confusion wondering what was going on.
