My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy-Chapter 229 The Devil
Earlier when Jake had stepped through the portal, five men had also walked through the portal after him and they were all C rank adventurer from the Iron Fist Guild. The day before, they had been called by the receptionist at the Guildhall informing them of a suspicious young man.
Although they wouldn't have thought much of it, what further intrigued their leader was that the said young man had been a F rank adventurer and then he submitted advanced tier crystals that further increased his ranking.
And immediately, he took up a quest to hunt an advanced tier beast that was tricky for most because of their toxic spit. So in order to investigate, they stepped through the portal immediately after Jake did so they could watch him.
They had seen him battle against intermediate beasts easily. Even dodging their toxic spit easily which further wowed them so they decided to watch much longer.
They saw when the advanced tier beast came and they thought that the young man would run away seeing he had just come out of a tough battle with the intermediate beasts and he would be tired.
Contrary to their thoughts, the man fought against the advanced tier beast while displaying high level Qi skills and fighting skills.
And then after he was done, he stood there rooted for a few minutes before he got to work in extracting the beast crystals and while he was busy, the adventurers decided to have a little discussion.

"He's clearly a genius. I haven't seen someone as strong as him for a long time." One of the men exclaimed.
"Let's not forget one thing, if he had been from around here, we would have known and he would have been recruited." Another man said.
"Yeah, that means he's not from around here or he might be someone that the people of Raven city have been training in secret to go against Blip." A man chuckled.
"Regardless of the reasons, he is clearly dangerous especially with his level of skills." A man said and this man had a serious expression on his face. Stay updated through novelbuddy
Although they were all C rank adventurers, it was clear that they respected this man in their midst and that was because he was older than them and was also a very strong C rank adventurer with skills that surpassed them.
They wouldn't even dare to anger him unless they had a death wish. This man was known as Dim. Although that wasn't his name, he earned the name from his countless mission for the Iron Fist Guild.
Anyone that came across him and upset him, had their lives dimmed and in short, they were killed hence the name.
Dim was a tall man with his hair having a mixture of black and grey while having a bushy moustache on his face and he wore an orange shirt with the design of a Fist planted on it.
"Let's see who he is. If he doesn't have any good intentions, then I will Dim his life." Dim said as he stepped forward with the rest behind him.
Dim raised his hands up and then pointed it forward. He focused on his hands that were covered with a white gauntlet and then a sudden mist was forming on it and slowly, the mist extended forward.
Gradually, the mist turned into ice and grew forward turning into a huge Ice pillar and with a grunt, Dim thrust his hands forward towards Jake and the Ice pillar shot out towards him.
Dim's gauntlets had an active skill that allowed him create Ice from his gauntlets and also attack with it anyhow he wanted.
To Dim's surprise, the young man was able to defend himself from the Ice pillar. But it came at the cost of the young man's sword as it broke and shattered into pieces.
"What happened? Without your little toy, you are no good right?" Dim laughed.
"You wish." Jake smiled as he activated Inventory and then a gauntlet appeared on his hands.
"For nearly taking my life and breaking my precious weapon, I will declare death as your punishment." Jake smirked as his gauntlets glowed with so much power that it was almost suffocating.
'How did he manage to replace his sword so quick? And where the hell did the gauntlet come from? I'm sure he didn't have it on earlier.' Dim thought as he eyed Jake up and down.
"Now before I kill y'all, I would like to know why the hell you just tried to take my life." Jake said as he pointed his hands outwardly while glaring at them.
"We are members of the Iron Fist Guild and would like to know who you are." Dim said with a serious expression on his face.
"Oh C'mon, Iron Fist Guild? Why can't I just seem to catch a break from your nonsense?" Jake said with his brows furrowed.
"Who are you?" Another member asked.
"Me? I'm nobody actually." Jake smiled and in the next instant, his expression changed to seriousness.
"But for trying to take my life, and destroying my precious sword, I'm going to be the devil that will torture, haunt and finally kill you all." Jake declared.
And Straight off, all the C rank adventurers except Dim drew their weapons out at Jake's threat while scowling at Jake.
"What are you doing Dim? Order the attack already let us deal with this arrogant fool."
Dim had been eyeing Jake up from the start of their word exchange and he couldn't shake the feeling off doom and dread from his mind anytime he stared at Jake.
'I feel weary of this kid. My gut keep telling me that this kid is dangerous and we might have just stepped on the wrong person's tail.' Dim thought and that was when he heard his member shout asking him to order the attack.
'Arghhh! Why the hell should I be weary of him. I'm the infamous Dim and I will make sure I dim his life.'
"ATTACK!!!" Dim shouted and immediately, all the four remaining C rank adventurers lunged towards Jake.
"Big mistake!" Jake smirked as he immediately activated his new skill.
