Unlimited Power 03: The Sinful Ruler

From their backs, the orc and the goblin took out a club and a longsword. They looked quite similar to the weapons that the spearmen used. Naturally, they were bigger since those three were a lot stronger than grunts. As for the flying skeleton, he didn't have a magic weapon, but Jake saw lightning spheres emerging from his hands.

At the exact moment those two charged, the skeleton fired a lightning bolt toward Jake, and while he used Flash to dodge it, the spell followed him as if it was a missile tracking his presence. Eventually, it reached Jake, but he blocked it with his sword.

The goblin and the work used that chance to attack Jake since he was paralyzed by the energy flowing through the weapon. He erected a wall of dark flames since he didn't have room to worry about his pride, but the weapons passed through it… their durability was too high for them to melt that fast.

In the end, Jake managed to jump away by using Explosive Touch by kicking the ground. He didn't move the way he used to, so it hurt like hell. In the end, that barely bought him enough time to do anything since the skeleton summoned another lightning bolt toward him…

"Give it a rest…" Jake blocked the attack by enhancing his weapon with the dark flames.

The power of the bolts still could be felt, but they weren't enough to paralyze him. Jake looked at the orc and goblin, and he saw them hesitating. Even though they weren't showing any emotion on their faces. That sure was weird.

"Are they being controlled? They look dead inside, and they don't express emotions, but… I can still see their hesitation," Jake thought.

Jake couldn't feel their fear either, but they were showing that much… in any case, pondering about that won't do him any good. So, he jumped toward the skeleton, which was way too close. The enemy reacted in time to fly away. That was one that could fly backward, so Jake failed to reach him. However, he used Mana Blade, and the creature was hit. The skeleton began to fall while flames covered its body, and at the same time, the orc attacked Jake with its massive club… he could only block it with his weapon, and while he did that, Jake was sent downward and felt his back hurting like hell when he landed on the metallic ground.

Before he could recover, the goblin approached and swung its sword to claim Jake's head, but once again, he managed to block the attack. Still, he felt the bones of his back cracking. The power of those three was way beyond the giants that he had been facing in the last week. Still, he got used to that kind of pain.

The goblin attempted to overpower Jake, but then a dark flames spear flew toward his head. The enemy jumped backward while blocking the attack with its sword. The orb didn't want to give Jake the time to get up, so it also approached and used its club…

"Give it a rest… will you?" Jake said and then fired several Mana Blades.

The projectiles exploded on the enemy's club and forced the creature to stop moving. Jake used that chance to get up, and then he heard the sound of lightning. If he had time, Jake would have sighed… he blocked the skeleton attack with his sword… It wasn't surprising since he only used one, but he didn't think the skeleton would be that durable. The power of his flames doubled when he became a sinful ruler, after all…

Despite their previous surprise, the enemies didn't flinch again and moved to surround and attack Jake at the same time. It was going to be a bit painful, but he decided to let them cut his flesh in order to break their bones.

When the lightning bolt was fired, Jake didn't try to block or dodge. He just received it. While clenching his teeth, he watched the goblin and the orc approaching him to take his head, but in the end, he mustered all of his strength to move and then swing his sword as fast as possible when they were within range.

In the end, those two never reached Jake. The skeleton saw what happened, but he couldn't understand it… he got even more confused when he saw those two heads rolling on the floor. He had an idea when he saw the dark flames around Jake's sword moving like a saw…

The skeleton tried to run away, but then Jake threw his weapon at the creature, and since he charged the attack with Concentrated Strike, the weapon flew insanely fast and impaled the enemy.

Jake ignored the items left by the enemies and recovered his sword while he was in a bad mood. The class Sinful Ruler was making him stronger too fast when those skills were used, and he felt like he might return to the type of person he was before death… right now, he couldn't care less about the survival of the human race, but if other things keep happening like before…

"I need to forget about this and focus on this shitty mission," Jake thought and then shook his head. "I have to find where the piece of shit that controls this ship is…"

Jake jumped around and then climbed one of the buildings in the area. He could hear and see a lot of noise in the area thanks to his presence, but he ignored that and focused his eyes on the largest buildings he could see… his target might be in one of these, but before that, he had to deal with more machines… this time, they looked like choppers…
