<New beasts has been discovered, take out 6 of them.>

\'What!?! 6 of them? How on earth am I supposed to do that?\' Jake thought.

While Jake was exclaiming about the quest, Kate and Cindy were ready for battle but just before they charged in, Jake stopped them.

"Hold on," Jake said. "I want you to leave six of the beasts for me so that you can both take out two each."

"Are you sure about that?" Kate asked.

"Yes!" Jake said already charging towards the beasts that were closing in on them already. When Jake got to their position, he quickly activated one of his skill <melee combat> that dealt 10 percent damage to his opponents.

And then he started slashing and attacking the beasts will full strength and speed. While he was attacking one, another beast crept on him from behind, quickly sensing this, Jake rolled away avoiding the bite then he quickly stood up and slashed at the Dogsy\'s neck therefore severing its neck.

\'oof. One down, five more to go.\' Jake thought as he quickly went on to the next beasts. Meanwhile Cindy and Kate combined teamwork, was helping them immensely. Kate stayed far back with her bow shooting out arrows at one beats at a time therefore pinning them making them unable to move.

Then when Cindy was ready, she will then kill them by severing off their heads. But it wasn\'t easy with other beasts heading their way. Meanwhile Jake was still somewhat struggling against the beasts.

He kept dodging, weaving and striking. After a few minutes, they finally managed to deal with all the beasts with Jake using a combination of the skills taught to him at the academy. He didn\'t use his system skills because he wanted to save them in case Sophia and the rest were in trouble.

Immediately Jake pierced his sword into the last beasts head, he heard a ding in his head.

<Congratulations! User has completed the quest.>

<Rewards; +5 points in all attributes and a new skill.>

\'Wow! This reward isn\'t so bad after all.\' Jake thought now deciding on checking the skills while Cindy and Kate harvest the crystal cores.

\'Okay, System, being up my skill tab.\' Jake thought excitedly.

"Woah! This is tots amazing." Jake almost screamed out loud. "A whole 10 percent increase in strength for five minutes!?!."

"I think the system is feeling generous lately." Zee commented.

"You can say that again." Jake replied.

Jake decided to pull up his status screen next.

"Well that\'s an improvement." Jake said. And just then, Kate and Cindy were already done with carving out the beast crystals.

"Okay, shall we go look for Sophia and the rest?" Kate asked.

"Sure." Jake answered. And then they all head off to find Sophia. When they got to where Sophia and the rest were, they felt shockwaves going around with loud bangs as if someone was hitting someone or something.

"Are they fighting with someone?" Kate asked as another shockwave hit them.

They were still far away to see anything so they hastened their steps to quickly get to their Sophia. When they were just 10 feet away, they finally saw what they were fighting with.

"Is.. is that a freaking werewolf?" Jake screamed.

The rest of the girls shared the same fear as Jake because currently they were both trembling in fear. Teeth chattering against each other in fear.

"A… a werewolf!" Kate and Cindy said together. That was when they saw the werewolf hitting the rest of the guys as if they were nothing but mere dolls.

Jake now noticed the werewolf heading towards an injured Peter. Seeing this scene, the memory he tried so hard to push back about his parents death, they were now resurfacing.

\'No no no, I won\'t lose my family again to a damn werewolf!\' Jake screamed in his mind as he ran towards Peter in an attempt to protect him. As if answering to his scream, a surge of power erupted in Jake\'s body as he dashed towards Peter with such immense speed like never before.

And then he finally got to the Peter\'s side then he threw a strong hit that managed to push the werewolf back. "Stay away from my friends!"

The werewolf was very surprised by the fact that a human managed to push him back. Peter had his eyes closed initially awaiting his presume death but that was when he heard the voice and opened his eyes to see a curly jet black hair in front of him. Immediately he recognized who it was.

"Jake!" Peter shouted. "What are you doing here? You aren\'t supposed to be here. You could have ran away, why did you come here?"

To which Jake just turned around and smiled. "Why shouldn\'t I have come here? I couldn\'t leave my family behind while I run away."

Peter just smiled back. "How about we take that wolf down together."

Jake quickly shook his head. "No, that\'s not a good idea. You are terribly injured. So go get yourself treated I will handle this."

Jake then turned around to face the werewolf with anger evident all over his face. His fists were clenched tightly after seeing the state his friends were in.

Then the werewolf came striding towards Jake casually as if he didn\'t have any care in the world about the new arrival. "Oh wow! Another annoying toy to play with."

Jake just kept his head down and was shaking, no, more like he was trembling but not In fear it was in anger and then he lifted his head up and looked up at the werewolf.

"I\'m gonna beat you to death for what you did to my friends." Jake screamed out loud.

"Let\'s see you try." The werewolf said dashing towards Jake with full speed.
