My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

After escaping from the centre of the military, Jake ran through the gates of the academy and found himself in one of the stalls that was still open but the owner had run away due to the commotion.

Quickly entering inside, Jake sat down on the bare floor panting hard.

"Phew! That was a close one." Jake said as he removed his mask and placed it down beside him and checked on his injuries.

"How did I do zee?"

"You did good." Zee replied. "In fact, exceptionally good. As much as I don't like praising you so you won't get big headed and do something rashly, I gotta say you did well."

"I can't believe you were the same weakling that could hardly defeat a runt. You have grown so strong that you managed to defeat an omega werewolf."

"Hey, it feels like you're using the opportunity to insult me." Jake said.

"I wasn't insulting you, I was instead praising you."

Jake imagined that if Zee had a face, he would have been smirking now.

"Alright, it's time to check those new skills I was given so I can go help the others." Jake said as he opened up his system.

Opening up his system, Jake saw that he had really been given the +2 to his strength.

"Well too bad I was unable to level up. Anyway, I hope the new skill is worth it." Jake sighed as he opened up his skill tab.

"Well, that skill is pretty much worth it." Jake said as he went on to decide upon his last reward given to him.

'Now, that brings us to what to do.' Jake thought.

"What skill should I level up." Jake said as he brought up his system skill tab again.

"Okay let's see," Jake traced his hand on the transparent tab. "I would have loved to level Strength surge up but it's not possible, I'm unable to do that."

"I would have loved to also level this new skill I got called Adrenaline rush but I don't know how useful it is so I don't know if it's worth it."

Jake kept going from skill to skill looking for the one perfect for levelling up until his fingers hovered over a skill and then Jake shrugged and proceeded to click on it.

{Levelling Step Shift up} The system called out.

"Step shift has been pretty useful to me in allowing me to avoid dangerous hits and also closing distance in a second for a surprise attack of sorts. So I think it's pretty worth it." Jake said.

{Levelling up complete! Step shift is now level 3}

Jake then went onto the skill tab and clicked on Step shift.

<Step shift(Lv3): A short, quick movement skill to create or close distance and gaps within three metres.>

"Now this is perfect." Jake said as he stood up, put his mask back on his face and de-equipped his sword.

Then he walked out of the stall. "Guys, I hope you are all okay. Hold on for a few minutes, I will be there soon."

Jake quickly dashed off towards the arena with all his speed. Jake ran for 10 minutes straight without resting with only one single thought on his mind.

'I hope my friends are okay.'

And then finally, Jake reached the arena. He saw the arena gates were blasted. Dreading the worst, Jake walked into the arena quickly.

Then he looked around at the horror. Jake saw multiple and countless dead bodies.

He saw humans torn to shreds, werewolves bodies littered the arena from the spectating stands to the arena floor.

Jake saw that the arena spectating stands were broken with chairs scattered everywhere. He saw craters in the ground and also broken walls.

Then the smell of blood hit his nose hard. Luckily for him, he had his mask on that somewhat helped ease the pungent smell.

"What the heck happened here? And where are the rest?" Jake asked himself as he carefully walked around that was when he heard someone shouting but the voice was somewhat familiar and sounded far away.

Finally he stood behind everyone that was initially watching the fight. Jake saw some of the students dead while some were on the floor either partially conscious or totally unconscious.

That was when he heard the same shout again.

'Wait, that's Sophia's voice.' Jake thought to himself as he wanted to call out to her but that was when he heard the content of her words.

"Please, someone save her! I can't and don't want to lose her. Please save her!" Sophia shouted.

'Save her? Save who?' Jake thought as he looked up and squinted his eyes.

That was when his eyes landed on the werewolf holding onto Kate's neck while squeezing it tightly.

Jake's instincts kicked in and his heart raced very fast as he saw Kate being held up like that. Without thinking twice, Jake dashed towards the werewolf with all the speed he could muster while also channelling some Qi to his feet and hands.

Then he got to the werewolf's position. He quickly squeezed the hand tightly and gave the werewolf an uppercut sending it flying with anger evident on his face.

The element of surprise had worked as the werewolf was so focused on Kate in its hand that it failed to sense anyone coming towards it.

The werewolf finally came back from wherever it was sent by Jake and even those on the sidelines had also come closer. That was when Jake was told that Vynn died.

Immediately he heard it, images of his parents being murdered by werewolves appeared in his head while his fists were tightly clenched and he was grinding his teeth back and forth.

'I couldn't help my parents back then because I was too weak. The family I had formed in the academy, this filthy beast took one of my family members again.' Jake thought.

'Why? Why can't I just live peacefully? I failed Vynn just as I failed my parents. I couldn't even get here in time to protect him.' That was when Jake lifted his bloodshot eyes to look straight at the werewolf.

'Vynn, I promise, no matter what, I will avenge you.' Jake promised as his hands that were clenched were now open.

"Arghhh! I'm gonna kill you!" Jake shouted as he quickly activated his inventory and equipped his sword from his system and without thinking twice, Jake dashed towards the werewolf.

With a blink of an eye, Jake was already in front of the werewolf. He quickly swung his sword out towards the werewolf's neck but the werewolf had leaned backwards avoiding it.

Then the werewolf unleashed a lightning fast kick towards Jake but Jake had already acted fast enough by backflipping twice therefore getting away from the werewolf.

Immediately his leg touched the ground, Jake pushed off strongly towards the werewolf with all the strength and Qi left in him. With a strike to the shoulder, Jake's sword landed going an inch deep and drawing out blood.

Then Jake quickly moved back and threw a roundhouse kick that landed squarely on the werewolf's head therefore lifting it from the ground and making it go tumbling and bouncing on the ground.

Everyone on the sidelines didn't know how to react. The werewolf they had all struggled with, a masked stranger was currently toying with it as if it was nothing.

Sophia quickly ran towards Kate and lent her a hand to get up.

"Are you okay?" Sophia asked.

"I'm fine." Kate replied as she and Sophia were now making their way towards where the others were.

"Who the heck is that guy?" Sophia asked.

"If I'm not wrong, which I'm sure I aren't, then that is Jake." Kate replied not taking her eyes off the fight.

"Jake?" Peter almost shouted. "I know he was strong, in fact stronger than me. But how on earth is he toying around with a Beta werewolf like it's just a basic tier beast?"

Kate shrugged. "I don't know. And honestly, I don't care as long as he can help kill that werewolf and avenge Vynn."

There was no further conversation between them because they were now concentrating on the fight as they could see the werewolf getting up from the ground after the strong roundhouse kick that was unleashed on its head.

And strangely enough, it was fine. No single speck of blood on its head or anything then it looked at Jake angrily with its claws springing out.

"You're a dead man for what you did. It's not like I was going to let you all go." The werewolf claimed.

Will Jake be strong enough to defeat the werewolf, or will they all meet the same fate as Vynn?
