Chapter 321 Last Moment
Still, the ground suddenly exploded, and Jake was freed. He blocked the sword strike with his weapon before he was pushed backward for several meters. Still, weirdly enough, his stance didn\'t break, nor his body even trembles a little due to the impact…
Hugo moved to the side, and then Milena fired some arrows that caused massive shockwaves around her. Those were even more powerful than the sword strikes, but Jake reacted in time to block them all. Still, he was pushed backward again, but his stance didn\'t change.
Something was off. They knew that Jake was strong to survive a fight with the four guild masters, and they knew that their friends had been hiding some sort of power, but even if Jake obtained all that much power, he shouldn\'t be able to do that. If the difference in power was that massive, he shouldn\'t even be able to move from the spot.
Despite the situation, Higo kept charging and attacking Jake. He was that kind of guy, after all. It was for that reason that Jake once respected him so much. While Hugo was using his Earth-shattering strikes and making the whole area tremble, Hugo and Milena moved to attack Jake from the sides. In the end, they only used their best attacks and even attacked when Hugo was still close to Jake and could be hit. Still, he never was… When the attacks came, and Jake needed to block them, he kicked him in the stomach and made his move.
While Hugo was having a hard time breathing due to the kick, Jake swung his sword around and blocked the attacks. At that point in time, those three couldn\'t help but be paralyzed due to the shock. They attacked at the same time from opposite directions to make sure that Jake wouldn\'t be able to block them, but he moved so fast that he pulled that off…
Those three didn\'t give up. That was their chance to avenge their friends and then reunite the rest of the human race under a single banner to try their last stand… However, eventually, they realized that from the beginning of the fight. Jake had only been using a single arm to move his gear sword. That was insane… Moreover, aside from that single part of his body, all the others were relaxed… He was using the strength of a single limb to fight them at the same time…
"You guys had a lot more spirit before… only this much will be enough to stop you all?" Jake asked. "I am disappointed."
While Jake was pondering if he should to finish them off in order to waste time or enjoy the last moments of the people he once admired so much, those three decided to go all out without caring for their own well-being. They fully knew that Jake wouldn\'t try to stop them until they tried everything that they could, so they could afford to show some openings while preparing for their final attacks.
The first one to attack had been Frederick, he raised his arms to the sky, and after a couple of seconds, a massive meteor fell from it… it was at least twenty kilometers wide and long, so when it touched the ground, the powerful shockwave sent even those who were hundreds of kilometers away flying into the distance. Despite that, Jake\'s presence didn\'t vanish, and his city wasn\'t destroyed. A barrier appeared and withstood the attack…
Following Frederick\'s, Milena pointed her bow at the same spot Jake had been a short while ago. She still could feel Jake\'s presence there, so she fired her most powerful arrow. It flew so fast that people only saw a beam of light for an instant… the attack easily pierced the massive meteor and then made it explode before hitting something right below it… thanks to that, they noticed that the massive rock didn\'t even damage the ground in the area that had fallen.
To make matters worse… Milena\'s arrow flew in a straight line toward Jake\'s head, but its path was blocked by his sword, and it didn\'t show any signs of damaging it or him despite the fact that it caused a massive explosion upon impact. When the curtain of dust dissipated, they saw Jake standing in the same spot. Only the area in front and on his sides had been damaged by the attack…
Hugo clenched his teeth and then unleashed his final skill. He was supposed to summon dozens of thousands of copies of his sword into the sky and make them fall on Jake, but not even one thousand appeared there… The reason was Pride Incarnate… That was a double-edged sword more than any other sin skill. The fact that Hugo also didn\'t scratch Jake even once during that fight also prevented him from gaining the confidence that he needed to make the full potential of the skill.
"Haaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Hugo shouted.
To those that had seen Hugo fighting dragons and keeping his composure no matter what, they could imagine how much of a bad situation they were in… Hugo was nervous, and his attack confirmed that he didn\'t believe that they could win that fight. In the end, even Jake sighed with his head down when the swords began to fall on him. He didn\'t even try to block them.
After a couple of seconds, the attack ended, and they found Jake with some blood on his face. However, his armor was mostly intact. The damage caused had been limited.
After an expression of disappointment, Jake showed one of total boredom. It was time to end all that… One of the reasons he only blocked the attacks without doing much else was to absorb the energy of the attacks. Jake couldn\'t be bothered to use his own energy to deal with them… With that in mind, he unleashed all the energy that he had stored toward those three. In the end, Hugo acted like usual until the very last moment, and he stopped in front of the others and raised his sword.
