Unlimited Power 03: The Sinful Ruler

Chapter 253 Thunder Knight (1)

With each swing of his sword, Jake claimed the lives of several monsters. The creatures tried to move away and escape, but he was faster… When he was going all out, and while ignoring the damage that he was suffering. Jake was like a storm… it was almost impossible to escape from him, unless you were a dungeon boss.

At some point, Jake had so many wounds in his back that it felt like he was going to pass out again due to the blood loss. He wasn't fully back from the wound of days ago, after all. Still, he kept going like he had been possessed by something. Not even once did he think that he was tired or that the fight was too hard… He didn't even recall himself having fun while he was fighting, either. It truly felt like something had taken over his body.

In any case, all of a sudden, Jake looked around and didn't see any more enemies. He wondered if he lost the notion of time doing something so monotonous that he couldn't even remember the number of enemies decreasing.

"... I guess there isn't much to recall since I only swung my sword while ignoring the pain on my back," Jake thought.

Jake's armor still was fine, but his back had many bolts. He took them out to repair his body and clean himself from the blood.

"It seems that you didn't get hit, Magnus," Jake said. "Where is my thank you?"

"Au!" Magnus barked.

Once he finished repairing his armor, he went around looking for loot, and he finally realized what he could do when he got serious. It wasn't surprising since he could fight bosses by himself and assholes with more than two months of combat experience. Besides, dark flames were stupidly powerful. Perhaps he could even cut down small fry monsters without focusing on strength… As long as he uses dark flames on his Blade.

"Come to think of it… The dark flames never disappeared during the battle," Jake thought. "Was that because I wasn't thinking too much about it, or was it because the spirit took over me?"

Jake could barely believe that he had to consider such supernatural things, but all the pieces of information that he had made him think that he and other people were being haunted or something. Until now, he never felt like the spirit was taking over his body or that he was losing control over it, but still…

"Only crap items, huh," Jake thought. "Oh, well, I got plenty of coins after all this."

Jake saw some monsters leaving the dungeon, so he decided to master the whip. As one would expect, he couldn't use it all, and sometimes the point of the whip almost hit his face, but Jake blocked those strikes with his other hand. Still, despite his clumsiness, even the whips could become mortal when he enhanced their tips with his dark flames.

Jake hunted the monsters for a while with his whip until he mastered it. After a while, the skill began to level up, but Magnus' status didn't level up… It was amazing that the skill could level up while his partner was doing nothing, but perhaps it was because he was fighting himself.

"Well, as long as you remain this cute, it will be fine," Jake said.

"Au!" Magnus barked.

Jake never thought that he was an animal person, but the crystal wolves puppies were cute while their adult forms were badass. So, it was fine…

It had been a while since Jake checked the dungeon shop, and since he now had a lot to use, he decided to go all out there as well. He didn't get any class from mastering that whip, so he should try to get new ones now… The orc hero sword was powerful, but Jake didn't like that design, so he went straight into the weapons section. Fortunately, Jake found an improved version of the one that was stolen.

Jake smirked when he bought the weapon, and a massive greatsword that was emitting some static just by being held appeared. It was truly awesome… Jake just got a new armor, so he didn't need a new one.

It was a bit expensive, but the shield that a round shape, so it was perfect to be used with Boomerang Shield. It was heavier as well, so as long as Jake adds his shurikens to it, they will make tremendous damage. In any case, before going to the dungeon and defeating the boss, Jake decided to master his new items. He still had some coins left, but getting used to the new gear would be better before he bought anything else. Besides, he thought that he would get a new class soon, and his guess wasn't wrong…
