Supreme Archer: Taking The Game's Weakest Class To The Top

Chapter 204: The First Esports Tournament — Seventh Division (9)

"Those are consumables." SWalker stared at the pillars soaring toward the skies. "It appears half of the competition has been defeated. Our losses aren't as severe as we thought. What do we do?"

Although Jake was the team leader on the paper, he valued everyone's opinions. He never decided things on his own and always talked with his teammates.

The rest didn't want to hold the crown of the team except Prince.

Prince also had invested a lot of his personal money in the team, so everyone unconsciously felt compelled to look at him before making a decision.

That said, Prince was confident in Jake. He didn't command others around without his input.

The balance of Casual Clowns' communication, therefore, was solid.

Their plan was to seize the mountain's peak.

It was decided long before coming to the stage.

Since the team wanted to win the international tournament, Casual Clowns decided to fight as much as possible and go for any challenge.

With that reasoning, Jake smiled. "We should snatch those consumables. This time, I believe we don't have to be the ones to initiate the attack."

Prince sneered, "Ye. I dare to say we are the team with the least losses. Consumables should repair the deficits in our equipment that we've suffered during battles against little chicks. Any valuable stuff should also be taken with us to the peak! If someone else snatches peak before us, it will only make things more interesting for us! The art of the underdogs never gets old!"

He arched his head back and entered the dramatic pose as usual.

"That's two for a camp around consumables. What about the rest?" Jake asked. His team didn't take much time, and he decided to side with the two charismatic teammates.

When Jake rejoined them, Casual Clowns immediately began their endeavor toward consumable packages.

Last Coin, Sin, and Jake were in the middle of the formation as the team ran toward the pillars.

Sin confirmed Jake's status before asking aloud. "Was it difficult to take down the thief?"

"Kinda," Jake nodded. "Those types of players know their way around obstacles and shadows. Finding a good angle was difficult, but I had my eyes on her with my tracking skill. Ender can also speak, so he helps a lot with tracking others. Once she entered the angle, I could easily shoot her down. I didn't hesitate to attack her.

It worked well since it takes only one arrow for me to close up the distance with others. She also didn't take it off."

"She must have wanted to avoid bleeding." Sin mused aloud.

Last coin and Jake nodded.

The mage said, "I think no one of them had a special class like our team has."

"Yeah," Jake and Sin nodded.

Although Jake's legendary class needed a lot of time and experience to truly blossom into a flower that would match its legendary grade, Sin and Prince's classes were so powerful already that it could be said that having them on the same team was unfair.

Sin could sheathe the entire team in her shrine and strengthen her supportive skills even three times!

Prince was undead, so he could suffer more damage and increase his strength beyond humane limits.

SWalker and El Boss Queen were owners of peculiar skills, too.

Shaw caught up with others with his skills, items, and experience. He'd spent much more time in the game than Jake, training each time he received a chance during his adventures with Peace.

He'd be a different breed had he stumbled on an epic or legendary class.

Last Coin was in the same basket.

As of now, he relied on his experience with common skills and what he'd learned in his alchemist sessions. His closeness with mana meant he'd be built different with a special class or an original skill similar to SWalker's The Enemy.

"They were confident in themselves," Sin said. "Because Damien was out of the fight for a while, they believed they'd be able to overpower us. That's their first mistake. The second was that their mage needed a tank's attention. If that tank went after Coin straight in after Damien got hurled to the skies, the battle would be more difficult."

It was a mix of Maria and Iga's weaknesses.

The former could see much more than others, but she also needed time to cast her skills. Iga believed in her duty so much that she was scared to leave Maria alone.

Last Coin could have protected himself alone and even counter anything Maria threw at him or his team.

He was much better in this regard.

Of course, these three weren't worried about others eavesdropping on them. The talk was happening in their voice chat, so any spectator and broadcaster could only see their lips parting.

The team ensured that no one would speak important stuff without voice chat.

It was because the international enemies later would be able to watch them in preparation for that.

Though the international tournament was still out of their hands, Casual Clowns were smart enough not to let any secrets leak to others.

Jake contemplated aloud. "Shouldn't we think of a few combos?"

"A few?" Sin looked at him with a broad smile.

Last Coin also stared at him with narrowed eyes.

It wasn't easy to combine skills. A wrong move could lead to disaster and even self-harm.

Jake chuckled, "I mean combos between two or three. I can see me and Coin working well if we combine our attacks. For instance, archers have to keep an eye on the wind before we release. It's not necessarily a problem, as we can use the wind to alter our trajectories. It's not much, such as a sharp turn mid-air, but it can be convenient.

My idea is to combine your Gust Of Wind with my strongest anchor point—Formless Soldier Form."

Last Coin's eyes widened.

Jake continued. "There's a lot we can do with that combination. I believe in my aim and your control."

It took Last Coin a moment before he decisively nodded at Jake.

He said, "It will work."

Their conversation caused others to think about potential combinations.

Their case was not as easy as Jake and Last Coin's.

Each of them was strong individually.

Sin was also a healer, so she didn't need to think of any combo. She could heal a few people simultaneously.

Moreover, Sin and Prince were doing what could be called a combo. These two could fight others as a team of two pretty well with their skills and buffs supporting each other.

That, however, was too difficult in the tournament where the best of the best low-levels were fighting.

Prince complained, "Does Jake only have any CC on this team? We're CC!"

Shaw spat, "So CC chain is the only thing you could have thought of?"

"I call it CC Lock! I hit the taunt, then someone else hits their CC before my taunt wears off!" Prince explained his vision.

"Yeah, genius! That's CC Chain, and it's been in games for years, even before you were born!" Shaw retorted, his lips curved into a wide smirk.

Prince clicked his tongue. "Great minds think alike."

Sin said, "I can only think of me working with Cerberus. He's the puppy protector, and his skill is to create a barrier strong enough to sustain even legendary attacks. I should be able to strengthen that barrier with the shrine and save any life inside it. It's the indomitable tomb for a single entity, provided we both live. There's also a five-minute summoning cooldown."

"My partner is my trump card!" Prince added in a dramatic voice.

Everyone else sighed.

Jake smiled. "Well, if that's the case, then Coin and I will bring out your potential or maybe just make it easier for you to fight others. Individual strength has been proven to be stronger anyway. It's not like we can't fight together or shuffle our opponents around."

Casual Clowns nodded.

Jake said. "We're close enough to the pillars. Let's hide behind the trees and keep tabs on them. I'll send Ender to the other side to see if any players are around. Coin, look out for any mana waves."

"Yes," Coin nodded.

The loot had been dropped on the clear grassland with no obstacle in sight. Six drops were at least ten meters apart, littering the ground.

It was impossible to see what each drop contained, as each was in a package.

Casual Clowns had decided to pass the torch to Jake and Coin, leaving them with an important mission of striking down anyone close to packages.

Their combination of The Gust Of Wind and Formless Soldier Form was more than welcome!

That said, the enemy team had different plans.

"Jake, tell Ender to fly back!" Coin shouted.

Alas, too late.

As Ender flew past the packages, an unknown concept warped around him.

The next second, it exploded, causing Ender to lose many health points.

He dropped flat onto the ground.

[Ender has entered a battle.]

[Ten minutes of cooldown has been applied.]

Jake's eyes widened. "Someone wants to die really badly."
