Chapter 82 Desperate battle
Jake and Peter split up with the rest of the team so they could hunt faster and garner more crystals so that they could get more and equipment. Unknown to them that Jake had a different reason for splitting up. He wanted to hunt intermediate beasts so he could get more crystals for more equipment.
His plan worked out and he and Peter hunted intermediate beasts that were known as the Herculean beetles. After killing them, they decided to head back so they could meet up with the rest of the team but as they were about to leave, a tree fell down blocking their path and they were surrounded by four men dressed in all black with a black mask.
Peter was quite nervous after the men pulled out their weapons and he looked at his. 'I don't think we can handle these men. They have a higher level of weapons than us and I bet they are more skilled than us.' Peter thought worriedly.
But he didn't have much time to think as two of the men obstructing their path dashed towards him while the other two dashed towards Jake. The two men that were attacking Peter were the men with axes and spear. The one with the spear thrust it towards Peter's stomach but he managed to pivot sideways avoiding the hit but as he was about to hit the spear, the other man with an axe came lunging at Peter from above with an overhead strike.
But Jake quickly lifted up his axes and coated it with Qi to make the axes as strong as an intermediate weapon then he raised them up to block the strike but the force of the hit made Peter's legs buckle and almost fall down. And then the man with the spear thrust his spear towards Peter's stomach again.
Quickly using all his strength, Peter managed to push the man with the axe off and then he rolled away avoiding the spear strike. 'Shit shit shit! This is proving so difficult. How am I supposed to battle two skilled men together?' Peter thought. 'I just hope Jake is alright. I would have loved to help him but I am in a pickle currently.'
Peter glanced towards Jake to see how he was holding up and Peter could see that Jake was holding up nicely and skillfully. Peter hated to admit it but he thought that Jake was stronger than him with the way he was handling the two men with one of them Peter thought as the leader of the group. But unknown to Peter, Jake wasn't holding up nicely in fact he was cornered.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When the man with the sword had dashed towards Jake, Jake thought he was prepared for anything but the man's next action made Jake regret his thoughts.
For as the man started moving, Jake couldn't keep track and immediately he was struck so hard that he was about to go flying but before he could, his legs were wrapped with the chains from the other man and he was yanked back down with so much force that Jake was coughing violently.
While on the floor, Jake could see the man with the sword jumping up and coming back down at him with tremendous speed and was about to hit Jake who was still laying on the floor. 'Shit!' Jake quickly rolled over away from the man who now hit the ground where Jake was not too long ago with such strength that he created a fissure in the ground.
'This is bad, terribly bad.' Jake thought as he was now standing up but his waist was now wrapped with something, looking down, Jake could see he was wrapped up with chains and then he was yanked towards the chain wielder who now jumped up and gave Jake a hard kick sending him back in the path of the sword wielder.
The sword wielder after striking the ground and not seeing Jake there, he stood up and that was when he saw the chain wielder kicking Jake and sending him towards his path. Then he quickly readied his blade and struck right at Jake but there was only a scratch on his body.
"What the hell!" He said and when he looked up, he was given an uppercut that sent him skidding away. The person who delivered the uppercut was Jake. Continue your adventure at empire
When Jake had been yanked and kicked back to the sword wielder's path, he quickly decided to think on his feet. Then he used his Qi to strengthen his body and hoped that the Qi coupled with his high level of Endurance would do the trick unless the man was using Qi himself.
So when Jake was finally in the sword wielder's path, and was struck, Jake felt relieved and then took advantage of the man's momentarily confusion to throw an uppercut his way that managed to send him skidding.
Not wanting to waste this opportunity,Jake sheathed his blade and used Step shift to get in front of the man then he threw a quick Jab towards the man's face that flung his head back. As Jake was about to move forward, his movements were restricted.
Looking down, Jake could see a chain holding his legs down then he was drawn backwards away from the man. "Darn it! This chain user is pretty annoying. I don't even know who to concentrate on now." Jake said frustrated then he grabbed the chain and released its grip from his legs.
Then Jake held the chain and looked at the chain wielder with a grin on his face. "Let's see how you like it." Then Jake activated Strength surge therefore boosting his strength from 53 to 63 which was a lot then he yanked the chain with all his strength that the man was flying towards Jake.
Then Jake jumped up and gave the man a roundhouse kick that sent him crashing into the trees, therefore leaving a lot of destroyed trees in his wake. And then Jake turned around to see where the sword wielder was but when he turned around, he could see the man heading towards where Peter was with a smile on his face and his sword in his hands heading towards Peter who was still struggling against the two men.
