His fist was clenched tightly and without thinking, Jack Harrison stepped forward with his voice louder and more confident than he felt.

"Leave her alone!" Jack Harrison shouted as his her was racing as he stood between Mrs Sophie and the bandits. The bandits stopped for a moment while turning to face him.

The orc snorted while the half dragon tilted its head and making a mocking sneer. The orc then let out a low rumbling laugh.

"Look at this little hero, you think you can stop us boy" Emerick the half dragon hissed while showing it tongue.

Brave but foolish, what do you plan to do?, fight us?, with what?" Emerick the half dragon said with a low growl.

Jack Harrison mind raced for a second and he began to doubt his abilities.

What was he doing?, these weren't just any thugs, they are powerful and dangerous creatures and he had no experience fighting anyone let alone bandits like these.

But the system was awaken inside him and a force pushed him forward and his body began to tense and he could feel the energy within him.

The system screen appeared in front of him once again but this time it is more urgent.

URGENT MISSION: PROTECT THE HOST

STRENGTH BOOST: ACTIVATED

ENERGY BLADE: ACTIVATED

SONIC BOOM: READY TO USE

Suddenly Jack Harrison felt his hand vibrating as something strange happened. A glow began to show from his palm and within seconds the energy blade was on his hand while it was glowing with a bright and blue light.

"Holy smokes!" Jack Harrison said with excitement.

The power was speaking like electricity as it formed a solid shape in his hand, a weapon he never thought he would hold but now it felt natural.

"What the hell is this?" The bandits laughter stopped. The half dragon eyes narrowed as it mocking sneer faded and he began to take a cautious step backwards.

The orc seemed not to be shocked as he is now eyeing Jack Harrison with more interest than before.

"You've got truck up your sleeve, I see, but you're still not match for me" the orc rumbles, as his words sent shivers down Jack spine.

But Jack Harrison stood his ground as he hid grip tightening on the energy blade. The weapon was filled with raw power in his hand and despite the fwe still in him he felt a sense of control as if the system was guiding him, showing him how to harness the energy inside him.

"Last chance, leave us alone or I'll make you" Jack said with confidence, the orc began to laugh again.

"Make me?" With that the orc charged forward while swinging it's massive arm down at jack with a force that could have crushed him easily. But something strange happens. Jack was fast enough to step aside and the orc arm slamming into the ground with a loud crash. Before the orc could recover, Jack Harrison immediately raised the energy blade and slashed the orc arm.

The blade sliced through the air quickly and cutting into the orc thick skin. A roar of pain erupted from the creature as it stumbled backwards while holding it's wounded arm.

Emerick the half dragon snarled as he stepped forward with fury in his eyes, his claws was raised and ready to strike but Jack Harrison was ready.

His mind seems to connect with the system and guiding his actions. In a n instant Jack activated Sonic boom, sending a shockwave of energy out from his body. The shockwave hit the half dragon chest and sent him flying backwards and hit himself on the wall with a heavy thud.

The half dragon was in the ground and was unable to move. The crowd around them gasped in shock and surprise while some of the where backing away in fear while others watched in surprise at the sudden display of power.

The orc now bleeding from its arm as he stared at jack Harrison with boiling anger.

"You little...." Before ethe orc could finish the statement, the energy blade in Jack Harrison hand became brighter and Jack Harrison immediately steps forward and standing tall despite the fear he was still having inside him.

He wasn't going to back down." Get out of here, this is your last warning" Jack said coldly as he stared directly into the orc's eye.

The orc hesitated as he glanced at his fallen companion and then glanced at the blade in Jack's hand and for the first time there was uncertainty in his eyes. With a low growl, oron the orc took a step back while holding his wounded arm.

"This isn't over boy" he said before spitting on the ground before turning to retreat.

Emerick the half dragon was still shaken by the shockwave as he got back up to his feet while glancing at jack with anger before leaving. Jack Harrison stood for a moment as his chest was beating fast as the adrenaline coursed through him.

Slowly the energy blade vanished out of existence and the weight of what just happened began to sink, Jack turned to Mrs Sophie who was still on the ground staring at him in disbelief.

"Jack, what just happened" she whispered as her voice was filled with shock.

"I don't know, but I think I'm changing, it's all over now, Let's just go to the execution " Jack Harrison said calmly even though the adrenaline was still I his veins.

Jack Harrison extended a hand to Mrs Sophie to help her get up for the ground.

Mrs Sophie was still frozen in shock as her eyes widened with disbelief as she glanced at jack face and searching for an explanation.

She had always known him as a quiet and timid boy and too weak to defend himself let alone stand up to dangerous bandits.

But just now she had witnessed him fend off an orc and a half dragon as though it was a piece of cake.

    Jack ignored the inquisitive and staring eyes of the rest of the hunters who wouldn’t take their eyes away from him after they had witnessed everything that he did. They had underestimated him, and the signs that they were wrong glared outrightly at them. “I think we should put him ahead of us, he seems to have very powerful skills and is more skillful than we thought. We are definitely going to need him in this place with unimaginable and unthinkable creatures.” One of the female soldiers suggested with a whisper, but her words taunted Dwayne who didn’t want to hear anything of that nature. “Nonsense! Of what use is he? Just because he got so lucky and managed to slay the cave destroyer, you suddenly think he is valuable. He is just a human with no ability, and there is nothing more to that!” Dwayne stood on his resolve not to let Jack become more relevant than he was. He could already see that the group was beginning to have double feelings about his leadership, and he didn’t want

    “I tried, okay? I tried to stop him, but he is too stubborn! I can’t do anything, Lucy! I have my own problem to worry about!” Dwayne blurted out at once, still grunting inwardly while he looked at Vince who had made two other failed attempts to strike Jack with his spear. “What are you afraid of? huh? Fight me, Jack! Fight me like a man! You just killed two men and my sister! I am sure that taking one more life would mean nothing to you! Fight me! Are you scared?” Vince roared as he marched angrily at Jack who sighed heavily while he watched him get closer with each fast limp he made. Jack’s intention was just to defend himself and never hurt the Elf, but he was afraid that he was going to have to choose between himself and Vince who refused to budge. “You need to stop this, Vince! You are making a very terrible mistake! I don’t want to hurt you! I don’t want to hurt you!” Jack continued to restrain himself from hurting the elf who was not thinking of any other thing but his vende

    Eventually, Vince gave in, and reluctantly let go of Jack’s hands while he looked at his sister whose life was fading away gradually. “This better work or I am going to kill you myself! I don’t care if you have that weapon or not!” Vince threatened, staring at the blazing sword which lay on the ground close to Jack. “Hurry, Jack! She is almost dying!” Lucy called Jack’s attention to Sierra who had stopped jerking, giving signs that she was about to die. Quickly, Jack leaned forward to her and poured some of the content of the healing oil into her mouth while Lucy helped him keep her mouth open just before she forced her to swallow it. They waited for a few seconds amidst the panic that engulfed them, but nothing happened. Jack looked at the bottle in his hand, and when he returned his gaze to Sierra, he saw that she was not moving, and he became very nervous. “I think you should give her more! Maybe that wasn’t enough!” Lucy suggested, and just when Jack was about to do what she

    “Jack! Watch out!” Lucy shouted as soon as she saw the two savage men moving slowly toward Jack from behind, hoping to take him unaware, but he turned instantly, causing them to halt while they looked at the blazing sword which they were wary of. “Stay away from me and my friends if you do not want to end up like your leader and your fighter!” Jack kicked Kael’s head toward the two savage men who were standing behind him. One of them stopped it from rolling with his left foot, and the two of them growled at Jack angrily, but the sight of the weapon which he wielded firmly caused them not to make a single move. “That should be enough to show you that you will be fighting a lost battle if you decide to stop us from leaving. We do not want any more trouble….” Jack looked at his companions, and then he signaled to them at once, waiting patiently until they got up from their kneeling positions. Vince and Lucy helped Sierra up while Dwayne hurriedly gathered their weapons from the floor

    For almost thirty seconds, Jack looked at the sword in his hand, wondering if it was going to be able to do anything to hurt the beast in Human form standing before him. At that moment, he would have preferred the energy blade, but there was no time to think about any other decision as Kael had gotten ready to attack. Stomping his feet heavily on the hard floor, Kael ran toward Jack with all the energy he had in him, ready to finish him off with a single strike. “You are going to regret what you did to my champion!” Kael roared, jumping up again while he lifted his sword, and struck Jack with it. Reacting to the nervousness that cringed into him the moment he saw the sword coming down at him, Jack lifted his sword impulsively in an attempt to block the strike from Kael’s sword. Unexpectedly, the blazing sword blazed with a fierce glitter that was bright enough to blind anyone who gazed at it for a long time. Sending Kael’s sword back to him as soon as they contacted, Jack’s blazi

    Jack became very wary of what was going to happen if he wasn’t able to dodge the arrow, but because Kael was closer than he was before, he couldn’t discard the nervousness that crept into his body as he watched his enemy get closer to him. Without warning, Kael released the spear from his hand with a more fierce energy which was almost twice the force with which he threw the previous spear which managed to give Jack a cut on his left arm. Luckily, Jack ducked the moment the spear got very close to him, and it flew ahead of him, missing him by several inches. Kael grunted angrily while his men groaned in disappointment as they thought that the spear was going to get Jack after Kael had aimed for his head, hoping to kill him with the second spear. “You missed!” Jack said to Kael with a smirk on his face while he struggled to catch his breath after having a near-death experience while he watched the spear attempt to plunge into his head. “Hand me over a sword!” Kael said imperati

    Jack looked at the leader of the Forsaken for a few seconds, and even though he struggled not to be afraid of him, he couldn’t stop himself from being wary of the fact that it wasn’t going to be easy to kill him just like he had killed Rico who was not as strong as he was. He was still struggling with the uncertainty that crept into his mind as he stood before Kael Who was getting ready to attack him when he suddenly felt a weakness surging through his veins, and causing him to feel very dizzy. His body seemed to be reacting to something he was completely unaware of, and he struggled to keep his eyes open while he groaned. “What is happening to me? Why do I feel this way?” Jack asked himself with a whisper while he continued to struggle with himself amidst the weakness that became more intense with each passing moment. “What is wrong with him? Why is he acting very strange?” Lucy whispered only to her hearing while she looked at Jack who was still struggling to stand on his fee

    Turning to look at Kael who was walking slowly toward him, Jack continued his movement as well, looking confidently as the leader of the Forsaken until they met in the middle of the crowd. “I underestimated you, boy,” Kael said with a frown on his face, staring at Jack who unexpectedly didn't flinch even though he expected him to because he looked far more dangerous than Rico in all ramifications. “I think we are even, Kael. I hope you are going to let us go now.” Jack said with a deadpan face, looking at Kael who nodded without letting go of his frown. He looked at some of the savage men by his left who started to make hooting sounds, but he quickly looked away from them and returned his gaze to Kael who suddenly started to smile. Jack looked at him for a few seconds, waiting for him to speak, but he soon started to chuckle without taking his eyes away from him. “Is he going crazy?” Jack thought to himself but refused to speak in order not to arouse any form of lingered antagoni

    From the look of things, everyone was waiting for Rico to kill Jack with a single strike, especially Rico himself who was eager to cut his head with his axe. “You are going to regret ever being companions with those elves! How can Humans be moving together with those long-eared creatures of deception?” Rico’s voice had no other intention but to mock Jack who ignored him and stood still, waiting for the right time to strike. “Can’t you hear me? Huh?” Rico started to move toward Jack who made no move while he waited for him to get closer. ALERT! NEW MISSION ACTION: KILL RICO WITH A SINGLE STRIKE REWARD: NEW WEAPONS! The moment Jack saw the notification that popped up on the screen, he nodded in satisfaction, chuckling softly at the fact that the notification that popped up on the blue screen just gave him a more valid reason to kill Rico whom he considered a noisemaker. While he stared at the blue screen with a bright smile on his face, Jack felt more courageous than he already w

    “He has promised to regain that which he has lost! He shall be given one last chance!” Kael declared with a loud voice, and the men hooted almost immediately, cheering Rico who lifted his ace above his head, and glared at the five adventurers who were a distance away from them. The bloodshot look on his face showed that he was ready to destroy whoever it was that was going to be the next person to face him. “Let’s see who is up next to challenge our champion,” Kael said with a low tone, and then he marched toward the adventurers who already knew the reason why he was walking toward them. A few seconds later, while Kael was still a few meters away from them, Dwayne stood up immediately and looked at Kael who gave him an inquisitive stare. “I wish to replace her! Let me face your champion!” Dwyane said courageously, looking at Kael who closely observed him the moment he stopped a few inches away from him, and sighed softly. “I wish to replace her! Let me face your champion!” Dwayne
