Chapter 7 - Jakes arrival again

He woke up like any other day, did morning necessities and walked out the door, today he decided that he would take commissions to collect more money and buy light gear for some protection, he called a taxi and arrived at the commission building, he took a request to kill 3 scaled lizards and bring back their tail, he arrived at the desk and the register lady accepted it this time without hesitation, when he reached the door he was stopped by a familiar voice.

he was annoyed because he knew exactly who it was, when he turned to looked at his left side it was Jake he had a angered look on his face, this time though he had hired some people to face him, they were to muscular men that had double axes as weapons standing by his side, Jake ordered them to attack him which they both listened too immediately, he had underestimated Akuma and Akuma had underestimated his determination to kill him.

he called out his scythe and held it in-front of him, he swung vertically at the guy on the left and cut of one off his arms, he fell on the floor and screamed in pain, Jake made a startled face and backed slowly while shivering, the other guard had a disturbed face but still attacked

Akuma threw a horizontal slash facing downward and cut off his right leg, blood splurged every where, and the people in the room looked horrified, every time this boy came in the building someone would get hurt, they all saw him as the grim reaper, Akuma had wondered what would happen if he absorbed a human soul but he would leave that thought for the future, but he didn't leave yet he walked slowly to Jake with a look of seriousness he also gave off killing intent that had startled him, he wasn't really planning to kill him but he was definitely going to cripple him.

once he reached Jake, he made a screeching sound at Akuma out of terror, Akuma quickly slashed down and cut off one of his arms, blood splurged every where and Jake fell on his back, he looked up at Akuma and begged for forgiveness, Akuma then said "the next time this happens you wont be leaving with your life.", Jake nodded fiercely wanting to leave as soon as possible, once Akuma left Jake rushed out quickly, Akuma was planning to refine all of his skills today while getting stronger, once he had reached the forest he immediately went searching for monsters to kill…30 minutes later he completed the commission he took while refining his skills.

He also absorbed all 3 souls and he reached the his day and night cultivation both reached the 8th layer of the second stage, but he wasn't planning on going back yet he was planning on refining his skills to the utmost limits he could accomplish for now, but the deadline for the commission was 2 days so he quickly went back to turn it in… once he reached their he turn in the tails, he received 1 gold coin which was equivalent too 100 silver coins.

before he would go back though he had to buy food to survive for a week inside the forest, he was planning on going deeper into the forest to fight armored bears, they also had high defense but also high physical strength…once he reached the store he bought lots of bread, and 5 gallons of water, he also was going to head for the gear store to buy light armor… when he got their he asked the man at the register for some suggestions of light armor… he picked out all black armor thar had some armor on the shoulders and stomach and back.

some long all black pants to match with that had armor on the knee caps and thighs, he also suggested light weight boots that was easy to move in, the total came up to 80 silver coins, which he gave that exact amount

Then he went back to the forest and went deeper in to find armored bears, he wanted to test the strength of one so he went looking for a lone one, once he found one he attacked it from behind, even though the bear had high defense nothing was in comparison with his scythe in this world, the bear all of a sudden being attacked was not ready, it left a long gash on its back, and it attacked back, even though he was blocking he was still sent flying back a-lot and crashed, he coughed some black blood and got up quickly and attacked again, this kept going for around 7 minutes until finally he left enough wounds to kill the bear, he went to the body to absorb the soul and he reached his night cultivation reached the 9th layer of [Soul Core Formation] and day cultivation also reached the 9th layer of [Soul Bone Formation], now since he knew the strength of the bears he was ready to start training…
