My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

After two days, it was finally Monday, the day Jake and Alex had planned to infiltrate the cave at the back of the academy for a chance to find any clue or proof that will expose whoever was betraying the academy.

The day before, Jake had called a meeting between him, Alex, Geo, Peter and General Paul informing them of the plan to infiltrate the academy's cave in an attempt to find proof.

General Paul tried to dissuade them that they were dangerous things there that if they got out, will totally destroy the academy but Jake insisted that it was important.

General Paul giving up, informed them that the soldiers guarding the cave entrance, he would make sure they would be his men that he trusted and that were part of the Fang hunters.

True to his promise, Paul had invited his trusted soldiers into the Fang hunters even Wilfred had done the same and currently, the Fang hunters, had much more members than they ever thought possible.

After cementing their plan further, they were finally ready for their plan today. Since there was no class schedule today, the team decided to leave the place early and head to the cave.

Jake had informed the rest of the members via system message saying they should be ready for anything. After leaving the academy through the gates, Jake, Peter, Geo and Alex were on their way to the cave.

Surprisingly, they weren't questioned at the gate. When the soldiers saw them, they had just let them pass through.

'Probably, the soldiers are Paul's men.' Jake thought as they were slowly making their way there in the crisp of the morning.

Checking his watch, Jake checked the time which was displaying.

"7:30am"

They walked around the huge fence of the academy and found themselves in a forest like area with tall trees but they were hardly anything around them as they walked ahead following Alex's steps.

'Strange, I didn't know the academy had this area.' Jake thought as he was tensing himself waiting for any beast to lunge at them.

"Relax, there are no beasts here. The academy uses this place to experiment on dangerous techniques or technologies that might damage some parts of the academy." General Paul said.

Turning around, Jake saw the General come out of the shadows and smiled at Jake.

"How and why are you here?" Jake asked.

"To make sure you are all alright. I will just accompany you all to the cave's entrance and then I will head back to prepare the rest of the guys for whatever will come." Paul said as he took the lead in front.

They slowly followed Paul as he walked straight ahead for some minutes and then after a few minutes of walking, Paul stopped and turned around.

"We are here."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Huh?" Jake said as he looked around at the trees everywhere, no single cave only trees and two soldiers standing guard.

"Where's the cave?" Peter asked.

"Right here." Paul said as he gestured for the soldiers to open it up.

One of the soldier went towards one of the trees and started placing his hand on different parts of it as if he was inputting a secret code.

And immediately, the trees the soldiers had been standing in front of, was now pulling apart revealing a cave entrance that went far ahead than the eyes could see.

"We had this security done because of the incident that happened last time." Paul said as he gestured his hand inside showing them the way in.

"This is as far as I can lead you. Stay safe kids and I hope our suspicions of a traitor is wrong." Paul said as Jake nodded and stepped forward.

Paul handed a round crystal like object attached to a long pole but it wasn't to long to Jake and he handed one more to Alex.

"Once you tap on this, it will illuminate the place." Paul said.

Jake nodded and took the pole so did Alex and they all walked in while the soldiers closed the place up.

Immediately the door closed up, the small team were met with darkness so they tapped on the crystal and immediately, the whole place was illuminated and they could see around two metres away from them.

They then walked forward trying to navigate through the underground tunnel. After navigating through the tunnels for a while, Jake and the three others were now in a wide room with a trap door where Jake was standing on.

Since there was nowhere they could head to, no routes, they decided to open up the trap door and Alex did just that. Opening it up, they could see the appearance of an iron ladder.

Alex climbed down first and when he gave the okay signal, the rest followed suit down the ladder. They carried on walking along the tunnel and then suddenly, a huge iron gate was standing in their way.

Looking at the gate, Alex decided to give it a gentle push but it didn't budge so he ran back a bit to gain more speed and then he ran forward with all the speed he could muster and barged his shoulder into the gate causing it to creak and move back a bit.

"A little help here would be gladly appreciated." Alex said looking at the others.

"Thought you had it covered." Peter said walking forward to help Alex while Jake explored the room they were in further and that's when he saw some engravings on the wall.

Looking at it, Jake tried to read them but it was quite difficult since the engravings had been made quite a long time so it was proving difficult but Jake was able to read them one at a time.

"Soon…" Jake read one of the engravings that was almost faded and then he went over to the next.

"The… world would be overrun…" Jake read.

"Overrun? By what?" Jake wondered as he moved onto the next.

"Need… help… otherwise… the world would be… no… more."

"Who even made these? What are they trying to convey? Does the academy know of this?" Jake asked himself as he kept on looking at it and that's when he heard a loud bang that resounded in the tunnel.

Turning around, Jake could see that Alex and Peter had finally broken the iron gate.

"Coming boss?" Alex asked.
