Unlimited Power 03: The Sinful Ruler

After a few attempts, Jake was finally able to kill the snails without using Flames of Wrath. The trick was simple… He just had to change his Aim at the last moment. Instead of aiming at their heads, he would aim at their mouths, but then he would change his Aim at the last moment. They had some crazy reaction speed, but they weren't as fast as Jake.

Jake also could let them get a bit closer, but when they did, they fired some Poisonous Arrows. The monsters sure liked that spell… In any case, Jake let them hit him now and then in order to level up his Resistance, but he regretted it a little since the third poison also had a numbing effect that lasted a couple of minutes.

"I guess I need more defensive skills…" Jake thought while he was watching the sunset. "Anyway, maybe I thought too much about this. Since I am also a plain warrior, I understand that it would be weird if heavily armored humans would be so good at hiding their presence. I don't think that I am being watched…"

Dropping his guard now would be foolish, but at least that was what Jake was thinking. In any case, he decided to move away from that area since he had yet to find the dungeon of the snails and it would be hard to find at night them when the grass was so high. In the end, Jake decided to take shelter in the hills area, even though it was pretty cold and windy there.

"Tonight will be a cloudy one, but I should wait until later to look for signs of humans here," Jake thought. "The dungeon is in that direction, I guess it would be the East of this world, so that group is Southeast or Northeastern part of this region."

Jake didn't want to even think of eating the snails' meat, so he had to content himself with the fruits that he could find around his base. So far, he had only gone to dungeons where most of the monster's meat wasn't that good… aside from the salamander's dungeon. It was a bit sad for someone like Jake who liked to eat good meat as much as possible, but it couldn't be helped, they were essentially monsters, after all. They hadn't been raised like cattle to have good and soft meat.

While Jake was eating his fruits, thinking about that, and staring at the cloudy sky, he suddenly felt a shiver. Jake suddenly rolled to the side and then thanks to his insane reflexes, he escaped the attack and fall of something that landed on the previous spot he had been. He didn't know what it was, but it made the entire hill tremble… before Jake could see what it was, his instincts warned of the danger again. While he was rolling, he pushed the ground with both of his arms and then Jake got up while spinning in the air backward.

Jake had the chance to see two heavily armored figures in the places where he almost got hit and then he realized that he had been ambushed. Despite being heavy warriors, they actually had some good stealth skills… still, one of them was missing.

After feeling a shiver run down his spine again, Jake quickly summoned his longsword from his magic box and then moved it toward his back. A few moments later, he blocked a massive sword strike that sent him downward. The impact created a small crater and Jake fell his bones cracking, but it could have been worse… Jake could have ended up being split in two.

Despite the unpleasant surprises and damage that Jake just received, he got up fast enough to avoid being attacked by those three heavy armored bastards again. He also jumped backward to gain some distance from them since he wouldn't be able to do much if he keeps being attacked like that, but those three quickly followed him from the front and sides.

"Their teamwork is pretty good, and they are not stupid enough to charge one at a time," Jake thought.

Jake knew that things wouldn't be so simple, but he at least tried. Nevertheless, it was annoying that those guys could run so fast and silently while wearing their heavy armor. It looked like they enjoyed their high defense, but they had been trained enough to deal with the demerits of wearing that kind of armor. They probably left those arms before in Zubos because they weren't wearing the custom-made set of armor.

All of a sudden, those three increased their speed and attack Jake at the same time. Even in total silence, they still could work together like that. However, they didn't charge to the same direction… the first guy truly reached Jake and tried to split him in half, but the blocked the sword strike, but he still pushed Jake backward, to the direction the second guy had dashed.

"They predicted this…" Jake clenched his teeth when he saw the second guy approaching.

The second guy tried to split Jake with a downward strike and although the strike was blocked again, it forced Jake to plant his feet on the spot while blocking that attack, meanwhile, he was wide open to the third guy.

Before the enemy could attack, Jake strengthened his mind and forgot all his doubts, making Pride Incarnate to give him a extra boost of power. Once that happened, he kicked the right side of the guy in front of him and sent him flying to the third guy. They collided and were knocked down for a short while. Jake dashed to cut their heads, but then the first tried to attack his side. Jake thought that his recent boost would be enough to make him stand on his guard, but the sword strike pushed him backward for several meters after he blocked it…
