Chapter 86 Ambush aftermath
Then Jake struck him with his sword towards his face but Kilberg was quick to act in using his Qi to block the hit then he wanted to strike Jake with his own sword but he realized he had let the sword go when Jack had hit him earlier.
Jake seeing as his sword won\'t do any damage, decided he was going to use his fists. So he used The Triple Threat technique to get behind Kilberg quickly activated Frenzy strike then performed multiple Jabs towards Kilbergs face rapidly.
Before the skill Frenzy strike wore off then he wanted to go in for an attack again but his head was met with a Qi filled kick from Kilberg that sent Jake crashing down.
<-5HP>
<HP: 45/50>
"Shit! That kick took 5 points of HP from my health. This guy is no joke." Jake said and immediately, Kilberg was in front of him about to throw a strike.
But Jake quickly reacted by activating Step shift to create distance between the both of them. When Kilberg had thrown his hit, he noticed he struck air and then he lifted his head to look for Jake then he saw him one metre away from him and the next second, Jake was in front of him going through the motions of Aerial strike. Stay tuned to empire
Jake quickly jumped up, rotated his body and delivered a heavy hook towards Kilberg\'s head that caused his head to hit the ground with much force that the ground had a deep crack in it.
Slowly, Kilberg stood up but his face was now bleeding and his lips a little busted but he was relatively fine. "You are strong, stronger than I expected especially with the strange skills you used. Now I know how you were able to defeat Scar and his gang the other time." Kilberg smiled.
"But there\'s something you don\'t know, I\'m much stronger than Kilberg. Your little skills won\'t do any thing to me."
"Oh please," Jake rolled his eyes. "You know, that\'s the same thing most people say when I use my skills but at the end, they lay on the floor while I stand over them."
"But this will be different." Kilberg smiled. "This time, I won\'t only stand over you, you will also be on the floor. Dead."
Then Kilberg dashed towards Jake with tremendous speed probably using Qi. Then he coated his hands with a lot of Qi, a crazy amount trying to finish Jake once and for all with this amount of Qi.
Jake seeing Kilberg rushing at him with tremendous speed, didn\'t know what to do especially with the confidence he somehow exuded. Then when Kilberg was close enough, he threw his fists out towards Jake with his Qi going towards Jake and colliding into him.
With a smile on his face, Kilberg walked to where he supposed Jake would be. But when he got there, he didn\'t see Jake nor could he see his body. Kilberg only saw the Qi attack go through so many trees therefore destroying them.
"What?! How is this possible, how could he have avoided that? I saw him getting hi…" Kilberg stumbled as he looked down, he could see a sword impaled in his chest.
"I told you, this won\'t be as you envisioned." Jake said while holding onto the sword. "I have never killed a human before but you made me do it and now am supposed to carry this guilt, this burden around."
Jake removed the sword from Kilberg\'s chest and let him fall on the floor with a thud. Jake just heaved a sigh of relief as he flash backed to what happened when he saw the Qi strike. Earlier when Kilberg was coming towards Jake with his fists full of Qi, Jake was stumped at what to do.
But when Kilberg closed in, something clicked in his head as he quickly activated his newly gotten skill. <Shadow step> this skill allowed Jake to move two metres away from Kilberg quickly getting behind him.
Then when Kilberg had swung his fists, Jake was already two metres away from Kilberg then he summoned his sword from his Inventory and used Step shift to get behind Kilberg properly and then he impaled his sword into Kilberg\'s chest.
After killing Kilberg, Jake slowly made his way to his friends with a bruised and tired body. His chest was paining him the longer he walked and his eyes was somewhat closing in and out. After the adrenaline wore off, Jake was now feeling the pain from his injuries.
While walking, Jake\'s legs hit something. Looking down, Jake saw the sword Kilberg used and it was still in good shape. Not having enough time, Jake just used Inventory to keep it in his system for now. And then he finally got to his friends position, where they were sitting watching Jake earlier.
He was just one metre away when he saw another weapon from one of the men that attacked them. This weapon turned out to be axes so Jake quickly used Inventory on it to keep in his system and now he was just a few feet away from his friends when his eyes was about to shut and he was about to fall due to exhaustion.
But before he could hit the ground, Jack quickly caught him and then put Jake\'s arms around his neck so he could support him properly. Kate came the other way to put Jake\'s arms on her neck so the walk back would be easier because Jake was now unconscious.
Sophia and Vynn did the same with Peter and they were about to leave but not without Vynn taking the spear the spear wielder was using and now they were on their way back. After a draining and tiring 30 minutes walk, they were now out of the forest and they could see all the students waiting for the Iron Fist Guild to take them back to the academy.
But Jake\'s friends knew it wasn\'t happening soon so Sophia used the button that she got from the Iron Fist Guild\'s pocket to open the portal and let the students go in but not without them questioning Sophia thoroughly about where she got the button from.
Trying to clear the air, that was when a sergeant appeared from the portal because back at the academy, they saw the portal open up but no one was coming through so they sent a sergeant to check what was going on.
"What\'s going on here?" Sergeant Leo asked. Then he scanned round the crowd of students. "And where\'s the Iron Fist Guild?"
Sophia quickly stepped forward and briefly explained everything that happened and showed the sergeant an unconscious Peter and Jake. Seeing their injuries, the sergeant was convinced this wasn\'t the work of a beast but a human.
Then he collected the button, told the students to go in. When all of the students had successfully went in, Sergeant Leo closed the portal then he went into the forest to investigate.
After a few minutes, he came across Kilberg\'s corpse and the unconscious bodies of the remaining crew. Not knowing what to do, Sergeant Leo woke them all up and then told them to take Kilberg\'s corpse along and follow him back.
Doing what they were told to do, they lifted the corpse and sergeant Leo opened up a portal and they all stepped through.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
