After Jack had punched Kilberg therefore sending him back, Jake quickly made use of Kim''s momentarily confusion to escape from the chains he was bound with and then he went after Kilberg after leaving Kim for Jack to deal with.

    In less than 2 seconds, Jake was already in front of Kilberg who was holding onto his jaw that was still in a little bit of pain after Jack''s punch. Before Kilberg could move, he was suddenly punched in the gut by Jake. The punch was powerful enough to make Kilberg spit blood and spit from his mouth.

    Then Jake struck him with his sword towards his face but Kilberg was quick to act in using his Qi to block the hit then he wanted to strike Jake with his own sword but he realized he had let the sword go when Jack had hit him earlier.

    Jake seeing as his sword won''t do any damage, decided he was going to use his fists. So he used The Triple Threat technique to get behind Kilberg quickly activated Frenzy strike then performed multiple Jabs towards Kilbergs face rapidly.

    Before the skill Frenzy strike wore off then he wanted to go in for an attack again but his head was met with a Qi filled kick from Kilberg that sent Jake crashing down.

    -5HP

    HP: 45/50

    "Shit! That kick took 5 points of HP from my health. This guy is no joke." Jake said and immediately, Kilberg was in front of him about to throw a strike.

    But Jake quickly reacted by activating Step shift to create distance between the both of them. When Kilberg had thrown his hit, he noticed he struck air and then he lifted his head to look for Jake then he saw him one metre away from him and the next second, Jake was in front of him going through the motions of Aerial strike. Stay tuned to empire

    Jake quickly jumped up, rotated his body and delivered a heavy hook towards Kilberg''s head that caused his head to hit the ground with much force that the ground had a deep crack in it.

    Slowly, Kilberg stood up but his face was now bleeding and his lips a little busted but he was relatively fine. "You are strong, stronger than I expected especially with the strange skills you used. Now I know how you were able to defeat Scar and his gang the other time." Kilberg smiled.

    While walking, Jake''s legs hit something. Looking down, Jake saw the sword Kilberg used and it was still in good shape. Not having enough time, Jake just used Inventory to keep it in his system for now. And then he finally got to his friends position, where they were sitting watching Jake earlier.

    He was just one metre away when he saw another weapon from one of the men that attacked them. This weapon turned out to be axes so Jake quickly used Inventory on it to keep in his system and now he was just a few feet away from his friends when his eyes was about to shut and he was about to fall due to exhaustion.

    But before he could hit the ground, Jack quickly caught him and then put Jake''s arms around his neck so he could support him properly. Kate came the other way to put Jake''s arms on her neck so the walk back would be easier because Jake was now unconscious.

    Sophia and Vynn did the same with Peter and they were about to leave but not without Vynn taking the spear the spear wielder was using and now they were on their way back. After a draining and tiring 30 minutes walk, they were now out of the forest and they could see all the students waiting for the Iron Fist Guild to take them back to the academy.

    But Jake''s friends knew it wasn''t happening soon so Sophia used the button that she got from the Iron Fist Guild''s pocket to open the portal and let the students go in but not without them questioning Sophia thoroughly about where she got the button from.

    Trying to clear the air, that was when a sergeant appeared from the portal because back at the academy, they saw the portal open up but no one was coming through so they sent a sergeant to check what was going on.

    "What''s going on here?" Sergeant Leo asked. Then he scanned round the crowd of students. "And where''s the Iron Fist Guild?"

    Sophia quickly stepped forward and briefly explained everything that happened and showed the sergeant an unconscious Peter and Jake. Seeing their injuries, the sergeant was convinced this wasn''t the work of a beast but a human.

    Then he collected the button, told the students to go in. When all of the students had successfully went in, Sergeant Leo closed the portal then he went into the forest to investigate.

    After a few minutes, he came across Kilberg''s corpse and the unconscious bodies of the remaining crew. Not knowing what to do, Sergeant Leo woke them all up and then told them to take Kilberg''s corpse along and follow him back.

    Doing what they were told to do, they lifted the corpse and sergeant Leo opened up a portal and they all stepped through.
