Chapter 123 Shadows of Retreat
The fight between Jake and the werewolf was so intense that those on the sidelines couldn't get near them to even try and help Jake so they stood rooted in the same spot while watching Jake fight against the werewolf with everything he got.
But each time they think Jake was getting the upper hand, the Beta werewolf kept doing things that made it seem like it was taking things easy with Jake.
While everyone were focused on the fight in front of them, General Paul and Wilfred that were initially unconscious finally regained consciousness and were making their way towards where the most energy was radiating from.
"I wonder if the students are still fighting with that werewolf." Paul said.
"I just hope they are okay. But it does makes me wonder, who on Earth is fighting with that werewolf and causing shockwaves to spread even towards here." Wilfred said.
"I think it's that strong third year student; Alex. But whoever it is, we will find out for ourselves soon enough." Paul said.
Back at the fight, Jake was just standing one metre away from the werewolf while seeing it dash towards him with a speed that it hadn't displayed during their fight.
"What the hell! Was it taking things easy with me earlier?" Jake said but he didn't have time for that as the werewolf was now in front of him in the middle of sending a powerful kick towards Jake.
Quickly acting fast, Jake covered his legs with Qi and by the time he was done, the werewolf's leg was now upon him. Jake quickly threw his leg to meet with the werewolf's and a resounding loud bang was heard by everyone.
Shockwaves was spread out almost sweeping everyone off their feet but they remained strong. The shockwaves was enough to push some of the bodies and debris from the way.
But between Jake and the werewolf's kick, there was a clear winner as Jake's leg was now throbbing with serious pain. If it wasn't for the Qi he had covered his leg with, the kick from the werewolf would have broken his leg.
Jake quickly dropped his leg back down as he pulled back his hand, moved back and jumped up but not too high. And then he rotated his body and finally delivered a strong hook to the werewolf's head.
That only managed to move its head a bit and almost slam its head on the floor but it stood strong.
'This is getting dangerous.' Jake thought. 'My punch was able to sweep it off its feet but now, its just standing strong and not even bulging an inch.'
"My turn." The werewolf said snapping Jake out of his thoughts but it was too late for a furry hand was now in front of him.
The werewolf threw a hook towards Jake's head that landed cleanly therefore lifting Jake off his feet and slamming him on the floor.
{-15 HP}
Jake was currently on the floor while his mouth was tasting iron and in the next second, he was coughing while red liquids were falling from his mouth.
Jake was currently facing the sky when a shadow was cast over him and he saw something falling from the sky.
"Oh shit!" Jake said as he quickly rolled over therefore avoiding the werewolf that had jumped up and come crashing down in order to flatten Jake.
The werewolf had crashed into the ground causing a giant crater in the ground.
The Generals were finally here and they could see a robed figure with a mask on its face and a gauntlet on his hand getting up from the ground.
The figure's robe had somewhat been torn and then they finally see the werewolf standing there with minor cuts on its body.
On the sides, they could see some of the students looking at the battle with tense expressions on their face. Paul along with Wilfred were now running towards the students and they finally got to their position.
"General Paul, General Wilfred!" Alex called out which made the other students turn around and see the Generals.
"Are you all okay?" Wilfred asked looking at the students.
"Yes sir!" They all answered.
"Good. Now, do you guys care to explain who on Earth is currently battling with the Beta werewolf?" Paul demanded.
Before anybody could give their answer, Kate quickly replied.
"We don't know who he is. We just know that he's on our side." Kate lied which made the others confused but they decided to play along.
"Yes sir, we don't know who he is but all we can say is that he is strong enough to give the werewolf a tough fight." Alex said.
The Generals just looked at each other and decided to let the robed figure go for now while they watched the fight and if there was a chance to help, they would jump at it.
'I don't know how you got this strong, nor do I know why you're hiding behind that mask Jake and neither do I care. But I will help you no matter what in order for your identity to not be compromised.' Kate thought.
'Just help us win this fight without getting yourself killed.'
Back at the fight, immediately the werewolf crashed down, it stood up and looked around for Jake and finally sighted him.
"You wanna kill me? Then come get me!" Jake shouted standing 5 metres away from the werewolf who was now running towards Jake with its full speed.
The werewolf was now almost close to Jake and Jake quickly opened up his system skills.
{Melee combat} a skill that deals 20 percent damage to an opponent when used.
Then he activated another skill {Frenzy strike}
And now the werewolf was now upon Jake. Quickly, Jake used Step shift to get behind the werewolf and then started attacking the werewolf rapidly for 6 seconds. Not even giving the werewolf time to counterattack.
Each time Jake's fist connected with the werewolf's body, loud bangs kept on resounding and strong shockwaves kept spreading out.
Finally, Frenzy strike along with Strength surge's effect had now wore off. Jake tried to move away from the werewolf but he felt a grip on his shoulders not allowing him to move.
And then, Jake's vision went blank for a few seconds as the werewolf had punched him sending him flying tremendously.
{-10HP}
{HP: 5/50}
{Warning: user has gone critical! User needs medical attention now.}
Jake finally came to a halt from flying and he just lay on the floor not moving after that punch while everyone were shocked even the werewolf, it didn't move.
"Jake!" Kate shouted.
The words Kate shouted, Paul and Wilfred had heard.
'I thought they said they didn't know who that was. Wait, Jake? Isn't he that student that the head generals were keeping an eye on?' Paul thought as he looked at where Jake was sent flying.
"Shit! If he dies, the Head Generals won't let me hear the end of it." Paul said as he wanted to move but someone had already ran towards Jake.
Without thinking twice, Kate had ran out towards Jake. When she got to where he was, she lifted his head and placed it on her laps.
"Jake!"
"Jake!" She called out again.
"Please wake up, please I don't want to lose you like I lost Vynn."
Hearing Vynn's name, Jake's eyes snapped open but he couldn't even move only twitching in pain.
The werewolf was now slowly making its way to where Jake lay.
"I need to get rid of him now!" The werewolf said.
"We have to protect Jake no matter what!" Alex shouted as he unsheathed his giant sword from his back and ran out to meet the werewolf.
With a swing of his sword, a burst of Qi came out and hit the werewolf sending it skidding.
"You…" the werewolf stopped as its face was met with a kick from Sophia that flung its head back.
Then an axe strike from Peter managed to push the werewolf forward and causing it to stumble a bit.
"This is for messing with my students and the academy!" Paul shouted as he threw a fist full of Qi into the werewolf's stomach causing another round of shockwave to spread out.
The werewolf was unaware that they didn't have energy like before. Everyone were fighting with the little energy they had gathered standing on the sidelines watching the werewolf and Jake fight.
The werewolf stumbled back in a little bit of pain as it looked towards the humans that were standing in its way.
The werewolf was about to take a step when a loud noise from above made everyone including the werewolf look up.
And then they could see a bird flying above them making a loud noise.
"I would have loved to get rid of all of you especially that little one there. But that is my cue to leave." The werewolf said as it looked up again.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"But don't worry, we will meet again soon." The werewolf said as it jumped up high above the arena and then, it disappeared from everyone's view.
"Is that it? Is the werewolf gone?" Peter asked looking around trying to see if it was still around.
"It's gone." Paul said not sensing any powerful aura or energy around the arena.
"Guys! Jake needs help now!" Kate shouted and everyone dashed towards Jake to help take him to the clinic.
Alex lifted Jake up while the others went to take the students that were too injured to move including Berg. And they all headed for the academy clinic.
