YM778.TV Chapter 236 Name (4)
The bald man charged at Jake again, but he tried to focus on speed instead of strength this time. While swinging his sword from one side to the other, he prevented Jake from using Flash.
"What is wrong?" The bald man asked. "You are more timid than I remember."
"I wanted to stop with your mom jokes, but…" Jake suddenly said and then blocked a sword strike. "I think you really like to hear those."
Although he sacrificed some of his strength, the enemy still managed to push Jake away with each strike for several meters. Moreover, the entire was frozen or covered in snow, so Jake didn\'t have a good footing… He was receiving damage thanks to the cold and thanks to those strikes, and he wasn\'t causing any, so Jake couldn\'t heal.
"My sword will only last for long if I keep on blocking…" Jake thought.
All of a sudden, the bald sped up and then tried to separate Jake\'s upper and lower bodies from each other. Jake reacted on time to blocking, but he still was sent flying to the distance until his back hit the cold, hard walls behind. After getting hit by those so often… Jake realized that the enemy was truly four times more powerful than him in terms of strength alone.
Before Jake could fall, the enemy charged at him while pointing his sword at his head. In the end, Jake kicked the wall behind them and used Explosive Touch to move to the side. He dodged the strike, but all of a sudden, an ice spike emerged from the ground and almost pierced his stomach. Somehow, Jake reacted on time and twitched his body to the side, and dodged it. However, his armor still got cut…
"Despite being a warrior with so many strong points, he can use magic with that much power and precision…" Jake thought when he landed. "Is it because of that sword?"
The bald man raised his sword, and then dozens of ice arrows suddenly appeared around Jake… That was some level of magic. Not even monsters specialized in that kind of fighting managed to do that in front of Jake yet…
In the end, Jake used Barrier to decrease the power of those a little bit while he used his sword to protect his vitals. All of those arrows pierced his body in a few centimeters, so that hurt like hell, and he began to bleed as well.
"Son of a bitch forced me to use magic…" Jake thought while biting his lips.
"That kind of sight and annoyed look suits you better," the bald man said. "Still, this much won\'t be enough to satisfy me."
Jake wasn\'t feeling like taunting the son of a bitch. Instead of that, he decided to use Concentrated Strike and his flames of Wrath to kill him in a single strike, but the enemy never came.
"I won\'t fall for that so easily," The bald man said. "I know that you want to use Concentrated Strike, and you\'re dark flames. It is quite the powerful combination, but it only works as a counterattack."
"You guys have been watching me… as expected of low lives criminals," Jake said.
"We are rebels, not criminals," the bald man said.
"You attack cities, capture people, cause dungeon breaks, make thousands die… You aren\'t a rebel," Jake said. "You cause panic and spread terror… You deserve that title. Well, it doesn\'t matter in one way or the other. At least you didn\'t deny you are low-life scum. You guys don\'t have the balls to face me unless you have the upper hand. I am shocked that you came to attack me alone despite that."
"... Maybe we are, but as long as you die, everything will be worth it," the bald man said.
"It is almost refreshing to fight with low lives that would do anything to kill me," Jake said.
Jake couldn\'t buy more time since the bald man fired some ice arrows toward him. He was probably trying to save some mana… He probably had some in stock, but despite his words, Jake could tell that the enemy wanted to kill him with his sword.
The impacts caused by the ice arrows made Jake\'s sword vibrate. Thanks to that, he was forced to cancel Concentrated Strike. It was a pain that the enemies had studied him, but then that meant that he only had to surprise that asshole with something he hadn\'t used yet… It would be nice if it could also take down that guy in a single strike.
The bald man charged at Jake again, and he returned to his horizontal strikes strategy. In the end, Jake decided to use the repetitive motion of that combo to counterattack and then damage one of the wrists of the enemy. Still, at the very moment he fixed his stance, the bald guy jumped backward.
"Are you trying to stop my limbs by canceling the healing or regeneration of my wounds with your flames?" The bald man asked.
It seemed that they also saw Jake fighting the orc, and he didn\'t notice it since he was too focused on the battle. It was hard to say if they used a spy or something like Clairvoyance, but that sure was troublesome…
Although that guy seemed to be in the middle of his thirties, he sure was impatient. Just because Jake didn\'t manage to do anything until now, he got greedy and decided to go all out for once. For whatever reason, it seemed that he had quite the grudge against him…
The bald man charged with all his might, and Jake had no idea what to do since he was losing in almost all aspects… He could only trust his instincts, and so he did it. When the enemy got close enough and swung down his massive sword, Jake used Cyclone Strike and Bash at the same time. His weapon hit the side of the enemy\'s Blade, changing its direction and making him hit the ground… Leaving the enemy wide open.
