LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 250: Punishment fulfilled
The ongoing battle had just been paused and that was because of one reason, the fight that was about to happen between the supposed leader of the Raven wing's army and the leader of the Viper nest's army.
Seeing the pause from the enemy side, the Raven wing's decided to take the opportunity to rest and try to recover as much Qi as they possibly could.
Alex who had been sent flying finally regrouped with Berg and Peter as they stood side by side together about to watch Jake's fight.
"What happened? Where's your sword?" Peter asked.
"Got broken." Alex replied. "What about you? Where's your axes?"
"Also got broken." Peter replied.
"Figures." Alex said clicking his tongue.
They all kept quiet as Jake and the B rank adventurer were currently in a stand off.
"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!!!}
{Quest Alert: Torture and finally kill the one that dared to try kill your friend!}
{Rewards: +2 stat points to all stats and an extra +4 stat points to allocate anywhere you want.}
'Wow! A quest for what I was planning on doing already.' Jake thought excitedly as he opened up his system tab and scrolled over to his skill tab prepared to move at a moment notice. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
"Torture and kill me? Ha!" The B rank adventurer laughed. "Just cause you killed those weaklings earlier, then you got the jump on me, you think you have the power to torture me?"
Jake just sighed. "They always say the same line until they are about to die."
Jake just clicked on two skills and was prepared to act.
{Strength Surge} and {Adrenaline rush}
Strength surge that increased his strength by 10 percent meaning his strength was going to rise from 80 to 90 while Adrenaline rush will temporarily increase his speed and agility by 2 percent for 2 minutes.
Without any prior warning, Jake leapt towards the B rank adventurer while kicking up sand beneath his feet. He threw a punch towards the man's face that landed successfully therefore flinging him backwards and tumbling on the sandy area.
"I'm not done with you yet." Jake said as he activated.
{Step Shift} and he suddenly crossed a distance of three metres with a single leap.
Then Jake grabbed the B rank adventurer by the hair and lifted him up about to punch him in the face when a sharp sound was heard coming behind Jake.
Quickly letting the man go, Jake turned around and could see a thin blade heading for his head. He quickly activated his armour's active skill.
And a wall made entirely of earth appeared in front of him but to Jake's surprise, the blade went through the wall and hit him across the chest sending Jake flying and tumbling this time.
The B rank adventurer stood up and lifted his hand up then the thin blade flew to his hand that was open and grabbing it by the handle, he smiled albeit in pain.
"You see, even though you have monstrous speed and strength on your side, I have my sword." He said with a chuckle.
"My sword's active skill allows me to move it around by just using my mind and it also has the added strength of Qi making it twice as strong and fast."
"And the good thing is that the active skill last for an hour and I haven't even fought for ten minutes now." The B rank adventurer laughed heartily.
Jake was seen standing slowly. While standing up, his armour was breaking and finally falling down in pieces as he only had his gauntlets on his hands and his mask on his face.
"Oh! Your little armour got broken. I'm so sorry, want me to get you a new one? What am I even saying? A dead person doesn't need an armour right?" The B rank adventurer asked.
And then he suddenly saw a distortion in space and he knew what was coming next as Jake came in with a roundhouse kick to the B rank adventurer's head that sent him skidding.
Quickly, Jake flipped backwards just in time to avoid the sword heading for him again.
'That blade, it was able to break my armour. Even though it wasn't in a good condition, it was still strong enough to withstand a hit especially with its active skill.
But that sword broke through it like it was nothing. If it were to hit my body, then I'm definitely a goner. I need to be careful and get rid of that sword.' Jake thought as he clicked a system skill that he thought would help him.
{Qi Sense}
'With this, I would be able to sense if the sword is coming but it will only be active for a minute.
Then I just have to make it count.' Jake thought as he clicked two more skills.
{Magnet} and {Lightning}
Immediately, the B rank adventurer lost control of his body as he felt a pulling effect on him and he was unable to control himself as he felt himself moving towards Jake at a tremendous speed.
"No! Wait, come back!" The adventurer shouted at his body but to no avail as he was suddenly closing in towards Jake.
Meanwhile Jake stood there rooted with his body starting to spark and crackle. And slowly, his body was shining blue with lightning showing on his body especially his hands.
"I promised to torture you, and that is what I will do!" Jake shouted as the B rank adventurer was now in grabbing reach.
Jake grabbed him by the face with his lightning covered hands and the adventurer was currently screaming in pain as his body was being electrocuted and pumped with dozens of joules of electricity.
He kept screaming as his hair was burnt, his skin was burnt and he wasn't able to do anything.
"And don't think this will end soon as I have enough magical points to do this all day." Jake said as he let go of the man causing him to slump on the ground while twitching.
Jake was about to grab him again when he heard a ding in his head.
{Ding! Part 1 of the quest completed}
"Oh! The system has deemed your suffering enough. So how about I end your life then." Jake said with a twisted smile on his face that was hidden beneath the mask.
