My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy - Chapter 416

Chapter 416: I will be back soon.

Chapter 416

Jake and Peter were back at Velmora prime and were deciding about what to do about the portals encountered on all the planets that were conquered and under the werewolves’ grip.

When Peter finally came up with an idea and Jake tried to execute it when Humfree called with a bad news. He told Jake that Rivock was dead and he was killed by the Alpha werewolf.

“He…he got killed by the Alpha. That’s right Jake, the Alpha has joined this war.” Humfree replied.

“What?!” Jake and Peter exclaimed out in shock

“Wait a second, how the hell is this possible? The Alpha has joined the war?” Jake asked as he stared at Humfree’s holographic display in shock.

“Yes and unfortunately, it’s first target was Rivock.” Humfree replied.

“The others, how are they? Rex and Bane, do they know?” Jake asked.

“Yes. The war and attack has ended but unfortunately both sides suffered terrible casualties. Gray lost two of his five core members, Andrew is badly injured but the Rave lord is alright just that he lost a bit of men.

Rex lost about five hundred men, and so did Bane. But the biggest hit to humanity is the loss of Rivock Dem.” Humfree recounted.

“Wait! Jack, his brother and the rest of the Dem faction, how are they?” Peter asked in a panic.

“Unfortunately, all the three planets under Rivock’s grip has been taken over by the werewolves. The faction has been wiped out completely. No sign of Jack or his brother and no sign of Rivock.” Humfree replied solemnly.

“Wait, but you just said Rivock is dead. So how is there no signs of him?” Jake asked.

“Yes, he is dead. Because according to Intel, the Alpha werewolf appeared at Rivock’s base, the three planets under his grip were attacked by Beta werewolves.

And so he lost everything at once. According to a few survivors, Rivock clashed against the Alpha in a devastating battle that razed down a whole city.

The fight spilled out more into the other parts of the country therefore destroying more than half of Rivock’s country until he finally lost and then, the Alpha ate his body up. That was what was recounted to us all by the handful of survivors.” Humfree explained.

“Crap! The fight obliterated half Rivock’s country? How the hell is that possible?” Peter asked in shock.

“And he still lost. Rivock freaking lost!” Jake cried out in shock.

“So, what do we do now?” Peter asked as he glanced around the room and strode over to a chair before falling on it weakly.

“I really I’m confused this time around.” Humfree admitted. “I haven’t heard from the other world leaders so I don’t know what their decision is.”

“The war, did we successfully eliminate all the werewolves that attacked or what?” Jake asked.

“They retreated. But something about this war feels off.” Humfree muttered.

“What do you mean?” Peter asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Why launch a simultaneous attack on the others, draw the Alpha out, have him kill a world leader, and not still attack the Fang hunters. Nor did it go after the world leaders. I mean, clearly after the fight with Rivock, it shows that the Alpha is definitely stronger. So why?” Humfree asked.

“You are right, it does sound fishy.” Peter muttered as he stroke his chin.

“Rivock’s planet, how far is it from the other planets we want to conquer?” Jake asked.

“Actually, it’s not really far. But there’s one thing though.” Humfree replied.

“Which is?” Jake asked.

“Those planets are directly close to a planet of some kind. This planet, is different from the rest. No human whatsoever can enter and hence the world leaders let it be. If a human tries to enter, they die.” Humfree added.

“Huh? Doesn’t that sound suspicious? You just said that humans are prohibited from entering and the werewolves aren’t humans. So doesn’t that mean that, that is where they stay?” Peter asked as he shot out from his seat.

“You won’t understand this, but Jake will surely understand.” Humfree replied as he glanced back at Jake. “Remember what other beings that aren’t human?”

“The celestials.” Jake muttered with widened eyes.

“Correct. It might not necessarily be a place where the werewolves stay, but more like where a celestial live.” Humfree replied.

“What’s a celestial?” Peter asked with raised eyebrow.

“And that’s why I said only Jake could understand.” Humfree said.

“So what’s the next step? We aren’t sure who or what stays on that planet, and we can’t venture into there either. So what can we do?” Jake asked.

“Hold on. I don’t know what this celestial talk is all about,” Peter said as he interrupted them. “But the more I listen and think, the more I feel like the werewolves hide out is that planet.”

“Why do you say that?” Jake asked.

“Think about it. The condition of no humans venturing into the planet, and the fact that it’s directly close to the planets under Rivock’s grip earlier on. Doesn’t it sound quite suspicious?” Peter asked with a raised eyebrow.

“To me, it doesn’t.” Humfree shrugged.

“Okay, listen to this.” Peter said as he walked forward from where he was seated. “The big three knew of this planet right? Yet when they went on their planetary conquest, Rivock took a hold of three planets directly close to that weird planet of some kind.

The Alpha appears, sends werewolves to distract others, went to Rivock, killed him, waged war against those three planets, and now is in control. We don’t know whether Jack or Greig are even alive or not. Doesn’t all these sound suspicious to you all?”

‘The more I listen to Peter speak, the more this uneasy feeling in my chest keeps growing. Why? Why am I suddenly reminded of the time I felt like Rivock was a werewolf? Is he truly a werewolf? Did he betray us? What the hell is going? And what the hell is that planet?!’ Jake screamed in his head as he felt a slight headache coming up.

“I don’t have any idea of what you are saying, and honestly, it all sounds baseless currently. But right now, Jake’s decision is all I’m waiting for right now.” Humfree sighed.

Jake didn’t reply instantly as he glanced back at the portal behind him, then his clones, then Peter and back at Humfree in front of him.

“I’m not coming back to Earth right now.” Jake finally said. “The others can possibly handle anything that comes their way for now. So Peter,” He said as he snapped his fingers causing his clone to disappear.

“Leave the adventurers here so as to guard the planet, take the mini Aeroglide and head over to General Paul, rally up those that have conquered the other planets, formulate a plan and an attack strategy on the other planets.

No one should touch those portals until I’m back. Conquer all planets including the one Rivock had under his grip that has been taken by the werewolves. Head General Humfree, take care of the guild.”

“Wait, why are you speaking like you aren’t coming back again? What’s going on?” Peter asked in a panic. “And why did you dispell you clone?”

“Don’t worry Peter, I will be back soon before you know it.” Jake smiled as he turned towards the portal behind him and smiled.

“Wait, what are you doing?! We don’t know what’s on the other side!” Peter shouted in a panic as he tried to reach out.

“And that’s what I want to find out.” Jake replied as he jumped into the portal. Immediately it registered that someone went through, the portal snapped shut.

“Jake!” Peter cried out.
