Chapter 249: Punishment Worse than death
The battle was going bad on either side as both side were losing men left and right especially on the side of the Raven wing as the numbers of the Viper nest's guild were too much and so overwhelming.
But the luck they had on their side was the two that were currently ravaging in the middle of the Viper nest guild with everything they had.
Those two were Alex and Peter as they currently were destroying the Viper nest's members left and right. Alex with his skillful nature and Peter with his aggressive nature.
They didn't stop for anything and their bodies were currently riddled with minor injuries especially Peter who had a cut on his hands and face.
But they still kept and fighting and weren't willing to stop for anything not until they had a loud resounding bang and they could all see an arrow flying.
Everybody now turned towards where the arrow came from and they could see a masked individual with his hands clasping together.
"Now, that is a job Weldone." Jake said.
"Did… did he just throw that arrow across that distance with only his hand?" Someone asked.
"Who is this monster?"
"I don't really care as long as he is on our side and helping us."
"Are you daft? Didn't you hear when he said he wouldn't help us?"
"If he isn't helping us, then why did he throw that arrow huh?"
"Whatever reason he has, at least he has reduced their numbers by one and that's one less problem to worry about."
Meanwhile, the B rank adventurer had his mouth wide agape seeing his archer fall down to the floor after the one who called himself the 'devil' threw an arrow with his hand.
"That does it!" The B rank adventurer said.
And then a long thin blade was seen sticking out his jacket's sleeve. The blade was shining brightly and he gently marched towards the battlefield.
The Raven guild members that saw him, quickly charged right at him. As one of them swung his sword, he suddenly stopped moving as a thin blade could be seen protruding out his neck.
"Know your place you fools!" The B rank adventurer said as he quickly pivoted sideways avoiding a spear strike from another member.
Then he unleashed a quick shin kick towards the man's legs totally breaking the man legs and then a thin blade was seen protruding his neck also.
Pulling his blade out, the B rank adventurer flicked the blood away towards the ground in disgust then he kept on moving.
Anybody that stood in his way were killed brutally and quickly without putting much of a fight at all. Alex seeing this, quickly kicked one of Viper nest's member away then he swirled his Qi to his feet and quickly exploded towards the B rank adventurer.
Alex was seen coming in with an overhead strike but he suddenly heard a clang and he could see a thin blade in the air blocking his strike.
Alex poured his Qi into his sword trying to push further but he wasn't able to. With a flick of his wrist, the B rank adventurer threw Alex out of the air and leapt towards him with his thin blade pointed outwards.
Quickly regaining his footing, Alex lifted his sword and was able to block the strike heading towards him but then he heard a loud cracking sound.
*Crack!*
Looking down, Alex could see that a large spider-web crack had formed on his sword and then it slowly spread.
"Is it going to?" Alex said and his fear was confirmed as the large crack spread and then like a fragile glass, his sword broke into a hundred pieces.
"My sword!" Alex cried. He didn't even have time to think as a knee kick smashed into his face sending him flying and crashing into the others that were fighting.
"Pathetic!" The B rank adventurer said as he took a single step.
"What the!" He was about to say when his face was grabbed and smashed into the ground beneath him totally breaking it and throwing huge amounts of sand up in the air even blowing the hair on the others that were fighting.
"What was that?" Someone asked.
"I think an earthquake occured."
"Don't be silly, an earthquake isn't possible."
"I'm not sure if I was hallucinating or not, I think the leader of this army was the one that was hit."
"Ha! You must be delusional." Someone else laughed.
Slowly, the sand that was blown up, was starting to settle and a man in a mask could be seen standing smugly while the B rank adventurer was seen laying down in pain beneath the masked figure's feet.
The huge impact caused those that were fighting to look up from what they were doing as the ground had shook beneath their feet almost stumbling them.
Slowly, the B rank adventurer stood up and quickly moved away from Jake but then he fell on his knees as he was feeling quite light headed.
"Kuh! Kuh! Kuh!" The B rank adventurer coughed loudly as sand, spit and blood flowed out his mouth.
"You know, when you said you were the vice leader of the Viper nest's guild, I expected you would be strong but I can't believe they sent a weakling like you here." Jake said while shaking his head.
"If it wasn't that your leader was so stupid, did he think he will succeed where the Iron Fist Guild lost? They also lost their vice leader and it was to me." Jake laughed loudly as held his stomach.

'The Iron Fist Guild lost their vice leader? To him?' The B rank adventurer thought in fright.
The news that Clark had died hadn't reached the others yet as Blip had been trying to keep everything under the wraps while planning his revenge.
'Impossible! Could it be? Could he be the werewolf slayer?' He thought as he looked up at Jake who was still laughing seemingly having a field trip.
'But this is not the mask which the werewolf slayer always wore, and besides this man called himself the devil so he isn't the werewolf slayer. If truly the werewolf slayer was here, we would have all been wiped out already starting with me.'
'But who cares about all these? I need to prove that I'm by no means weak and my position was hard earned.' The B rank adventurer thought as he slowly stood up with a determined look on his face.
"Oh!" Jake raised an eyebrow. "You are still trying to stand? I guess some dogs do not learn. You see, I was planning on taking a backseat in this fight but since you dared to touch Alex and almost killed him, I was forced to act."
"And for trying to kill my best friend, I will make sure I give you a punishment worse than death and you will beg for death but you won't be given until I deem it fit!" Jake declared firmly as he heard a ding in his head.
{Ding!!!}
