Unlimited Power 03: The Sinful Ruler

You received 45.963 coins.

"Son of a bitch…" Jake muttered.

Jake couldn't believe that the enemies would go as far as killing themselves… that was insane. Humans couldn't be trained in just a few months to become like that… disposable soldiers. Nevertheless, he didn't have time to think about it. Jake just grabbed the magic boxes of the two assassins, and then he continued to run toward the city. He was truly pissed due to the circumstances... those people were being cowards in more ways than one and Jake despised that.

After a couple of minutes, Jake saw a small army surrounding and attacking the city. They were small in number, but they were a lot stronger than any of the soldiers there. Even from far away, Jake could see the invaders splitting the lion people with their armor and everything being split in two.

"They are just attacking randomly and spreading damage…" Jake thought while he was riding behind the entrance of the city. "That is their only goal."

The idea of playing hero made the skin of Jake's back crawl, but he couldn't just have a good city that he could use for negotiations be destroyed like that. Moreover, he couldn't let the reputation of humans get any worse. The attackers weren't hiding their appearance, so the survivors would know who to blame.

In the end, Jake entered the city, ready to fight. Fortunately, he couldn't see any attackers that he couldn't defeat. They were strong, but their strength was something that he could surpass by using his head a little.

After destroying an entire building with just a few swings of his sword, one of the enemies noticed Jake's approaching and readied himself. He couldn't see his strength or appearance, but he knew that those who were truly powerful enough to kill them wouldn't be around. He changed his mind when Jake's speed suddenly doubled and then swung his big sword. The enemy used his own weapon to block the attack, and he succeeded while he was being pushed back for a few meters. Jake's speed surprised him, but he realized that his strength wasn't that higher.

In the end, the enemy took a step backward to ready himself again, but Jake didn't let him gain any distance from him. Their powers were evenly matched, but the moment they stepped into a dark alley where no one could see them, Jake used his dark flames on his sword and destroyed the enemy's weapon. Before that guy could react to that, Jake swung his weapon again and then cut him down from head to toe.

"Shithead… With only this level of strength, trying to play cosmic criminal," Jake said while grabbing that guy's gear and magic items.

Jake checked the path ahead. It was unlikely that he would solve the entire situation by himself. Still, he needed to work containing the damage. Hopefully, that will change something on that mess…

After crossing the streets for a couple of meters, Jake found a group of guards facing another group of criminals. Suddenly joining the fight might make things dangerous for him if things dragged out for long, so Jake had to finish it as soon as possible. As such, when Jake found an opening, he quickly dashed toward the enemies.

Both sides stopped moving when they saw the third part approaching. One of the enemies quickly turned around and tried to freeze Jake's legs on the ground with ice magic. Still, he had already fallen for that trick before letting it happen again. The moment he felt the temperature decreasing, he used Explosive Touch on his feet.

The enemy suddenly rained an ice wall to block Jake's path and made him frown since he had never seen a human armed with a large sword that was good at magic. It was almost stupid to think that such a guy thought of becoming a warrior when he had an innate skill like that. Nevertheless, the wall only withstood two of Jake's attacks. Still, it gave the enemies enough time to change their formation a bit. Three of them were about to face him, while the others would hold back the guards. That was why he had planned of quickly things as soon as possible…

Nevertheless, before the enemies could do anything else, Jake hit the ground with his sword, making a dust curtain emerge around him. The enemies stepped backward and used their Mana Blades to attack him from a safe distance. Seeing them using one of his favorite skills made Jake a bit mad. In any case, he dodged those by moving to the side and then threw his sword at one of the enemies.

They didn't expect that, but the targetted guy still reacted on time to block the attack with his own weapon. What he didn't expect was the fact that Jake would jump and kick the hilt of the weapon, making it break the enemy's sword and pierce his neck as well.

You received 4.322 coins.

The other enemies realized that giving Jake room to attack would be foolish, so they charged at him at the same time while swinging their weapons. When they closed the distance between them, Jake jumped and dodged the strike just enough to still be within their range. However, they didn't have enough time to attack again. Jake used Cyclone Strike three times in a row and then completely severed their heads.

You received 7.323 coins.

You received 8.990 coins.

Jake readied to face the others, but he only saw them disappearing in the darkness of some alleys. Jake frowned, but then he realized that the number of attacks in the town had decreased, and the enemies, for whatever reason, were running away.

"Did Reinforcements have come?" Jake wondered.

It was hard to say since Jake couldn't see any armies approaching. Nevertheless, after looting the bodies of the enemies, he tried to chase the others.
