Chapter 132 Part 5: Killing Jake
(From MC's POV)
In the Wilderness,
Jake House was caught off guard. When he decided to use his protection items, the flame artefact was already a step away from him. In order to avoid direct confrontation, Jake House sidestepped to back away.
When he just moved away, the level-3 flame artifact landed at his previous spot.
"Boom," a deafening sound resonated inside the cave.
The blazing flame radiating from the artifact directly exploded when it touched the ground.
A deep pit was formed due to the explosion. The aftermath swept away nearby rocks. The force didn't even leave Jake House alone.
Despite avoiding direct impact, the explosion caused him to fly like a broken kite. And his body slammed into the ground with great force.
"Pfff" Jake House spurts blood.
His internal organs were heavily damaged. He wasn't able to lift his finger. He stayed like a dead corpse.
The explosion of the level-3 flame artifact didn't leave the cave structure alone.
The whole area vibrated like an earthquake right after the explosion. Rocks started to fall off from the cave ceiling.
"Phew!" just as I saw the rocks were falling from above.
I moved closer towards the safest area.
"I neglected the cave structure. Before it's too late, I need to escape from this place. Otherwise, if this goes on, the exit will be blocked by these fallen rocks. " I mumbled under my breath.
Next, after finding the safe spot, my attention shifted to JaKe House.
"I never thought a level-3 flame attack would be this powerful." I muttered.
After the explosion, I only saw Jake's body thrown away like stone.
I couldn't walk forward due to these falling rocks. So I waited for a few minutes before going forward to see Jake House.
I wonder how Jake House is doing right now. As I expected, the attack suddenly caught him off guard. I don't believe he is completely unscathed.
Then I touched the poison bottle hidden in my pocket. The only thing left to do right now is to use this thing to completely wipe him out.
A few minutes later,
The cave structure slowly stabilized. A few rocks can be seen falling from the above. Then I walked forward, realising this. After walking a little bit forward, I spotted the body on the ground.
Seeing that, I immediately knew that this body was none other than Jake House's. "Don't tell me this guy died because of the explosion." I muttered to myself.
Then I hurriedly went forward to check his body. Jake House's face is completely disfigured because of the flame. Then I checked his physique; bones were sticking from his body. I can even see the internal organs.
Due to heavy blood loss, this guy is completely unconscious. Normally, a wizard's physique is a lot stronger than a human's.
If not for the Level-3 attack, this guy wouldn't have suffered this many injuries. Next, I threw away my pity. Because everything turned out well for me.
If he is awake, he might use his protection artifacts. So it's good for me that he is unconscious right now.
Next, I removed the storage bracelet from his hands. Then I checked his pocket to see if he was hiding anything in it or not. In the end, I also took away his communication watch.
When I found his communication watch also in a turned off state, my eyes lit up with surprise. This saves me from a lot of trouble. I decided to dump his communication watch somewhere faraway.
After confirming everything, I placed his storage bracelet and communication watch on mine. Next, I take out the poison bottle from my pocket.
I looked at Jake's house one more time. Then I looked at the surroundings for a moment. If level-3 artifacts can cause this much aftermath, Then what about level-4 power?
I backed away a little bit from his body. Then, with full force, I directly threw the poison bottle at Jake.
"Crack"
As the poison bottles landed on Jake's body, It started to crack, and I heard the cracking sound. Again, I felt that dreadful feeling in my heart. This time, the omnipotent feeling is terrifying.
Next, without thinking further, I immediately dashed towards the exit. I can't imagine what would happen if the poison bottle completely broke out.
Forget about Jake House, it would become impossible for me to escape from the aftermath. This is also one of the most difficult parts of my plan, to escape from the aftermath in time.
I'm not worried about Jake. This poison can put Captain Tyler, a Level-4 Wizard, in a do or die situation. And what about Jake House? He is just a mere level-1 wizard.
As I was fleeing for life, I heard agonising screaming from behind. I have no doubt this is Jake House's voice. This guy is completely dead right now.
"Aaaaahhhh,"
Jake House screamed in agonising pain.
When the potion bottle completely cracks, The purple coloured forbidden poison liquid immediately falls inside Jake's already broken inner organs.
Feeling the agonising pain, JaKe House screamed out loud. For a moment, he gained his consciousness. But sadly, in a few seconds, he died due to his lung explosion.
Jake House breathed in the poisonous mist released from the purple liquid. The lung exploded when it came into contact with the level-4 forbidden magic.
Next, the level-4 forbidden magic immediately corroded the living parts on its way. The purple liquid didn't face any hurdles; it immediately corroded Jake's entire inner organs in a few seconds.
And engulfed half of his body parts in the next couple of seconds.
From the beginning to the end, he failed to realise what was really happening to him.
Before he could gain his complete consciousness, he was attacked by Level-4 magic. Jake House died before he could think of anything.
Then, a couple of seconds later, the purple poisonous liquid engulfed his remaining body parts, leaving no trace behind.
Jake House's corpse completely disappeared into the air. The
The purple poisonous liquid didn't lose its magic power after turning Jake's house into smoke. It still continues to erode the cave rocks.
Then the mist released by the purple liquid spreads out in the surroundings.
I breathed in relief, as I realised the aftermath was not that severe compared to the level-3 flame artifact.
Then again, I realised there was one difference between them. A Level-3 flame artifact is a full-blown attack of a Level-3 Fire Wizard. On the other hand, the poison liquid is level-4 poison liquid collected from the dying patient.
If it were really a level-4 wizard attack, it would be enough to blow away the cave structure into pieces. Shaking my head, I hurriedly dashed towards the exit.
10 minutes later,
I walked out of the exit. With that, I successfully executed my plan. Then I felt my back. The entire back was completely drenched in sweat.
Then I didn't wait here anymore. The wilderness is still not safe for me. I need to find a safe spot as soon as possible.
Then, using the map, I discovered some locations a little further away from here. Without thinking first, I dashed towards the location.
For safety, I take out another poison bottle and keep it in my hand. The ominous feeling is still lingering in my heart. I believe this is not some hallucination but the power of a level-4 wizard.
Though the bottles are tightened, I can still feel the enormous energy brewing inside. A few minutes later, I confirmed my guess. A few monsters fled from the spot as I raised the potion bottles against them.
At this moment, I made up my mind not to use this poison bottle unless it's necessary. Imagine, if I could use this thing during my school's monster hunting trip, it would make a lot of things easier.
I continued to dash towards the location, shaking my head.
Fortunately, I didn't come across any wizards at this time. Usually, these people do their hunting in the morning. And the monsters roam around the wilderness at night.
A few minutes later,
I arrived at the spot. Unlike the previous cave, this one is a small gorge with steep rock walls. Other than a dried river bed, there is no sign of water at all.
Then I looked around to see if there was anywhere I could stay. Soon I found a huge mountain rock near the gorge.
Surprisingly, a cave space is naturally formed below the mountain rock.
My eyes lit up in surprise, then I slowly walked towards the mountain rock. This space is wide enough for a huge monster to hide.
For safety, I raised my hand to show the poison bottle. Slowly, I stepped inside the small space. Though it's night time, my vision was not obstructed because of night vision.
When I found there were no monsters in it, I sighed in relief. But I still have this feeling that the monster may come back at any time. So, I didn't let down my guard.
After sitting cross-legged, I take out Jake's storage bracelet from mine. Looking at the silver coloured bracelet, I decided to check the items in it right away.
