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

Chapter 208: The First Esports Tournament — Seventh Division (13)

'Looks like I've become close to what I hate the most,' Jake thought as he spun around to sever the healer's neck. He didn't even look like an archer but more like an assassin, which was a class he detested the most.

BANG!

His twin short swords met an invisible barrier.

He could tell that it was a mana barrier.

'A healer's protection?' Jake narrowed his eyes.

Last Coin's voice resounded in Jake's head. "He's standing in between two mages! Their mana zones are overlapping around him, meaning he has more protection than mages themselves!"

"I see," Jake replied. "I'd better give up on him, then."

Before the mages could respond to Jake's sneak attack, he ran away and appeared beside Last Coin. He thanked him for seeing through the healer and the mages' scheme.

At the same time, Prince threw the gauntlet. "Stealing Spotlight! The Undead Knight's Gauntlet!"

Putting his pride on the line, Prince stepped forward. An electrifying force went through the enemy's tank, forcing him to focus on Prince.

The Undead Knight's Gauntlet was a powerful taunt skill from Prince's epic class. Regardless of their level and stats, it compelled anyone to focus on him.

In combination with his undead transformation and Prince's original taunt skill, Prince was confident that the enemy tank couldn't focus on anyone but him.

It meant the enemy team had no one to challenge Prince's crowd-control skills!

There was, however, a weakness to this skill.

"NOT SO FAST!" he activated the loud taunt voice, which reminded Jake of Robert's taunt skill.

It was like a wave of wind zooming at Casual Clowns.

Prince sneered, "Nice try."

Because it was a loud and like a wave, even if only aimed at Prince, the taunt skill should have also extended toward his teammates.

Prince, however, had much more room to use his skills. His shield's aura elongated, sucking in the taunt's skill.

He told his teammates, "Scatter around! Only one or two can stay behind me! My dear sister and Golden Coin should be in my wake!"

Casual Clowns nodded. It seemed that the enemy tank could use his taunt more than Prince could expand his shield, meaning he told them to get out of his way.

It was fine because Casual Clowns didn't have many long-distance classes—Jake could move around like a jester, so he didn't have to rely more on Prince's defenses like Sin and Last Coin.

Jake shouted, "El! Join Prince and defeat the tank as a duo! You can handle most of his skills with your Martial Arts' Skin! There's no need for Prince to defend you!"

El was more than glad to take this job. "Kay!"

Sin silently glanced at Jake before smirking.

Meanwhile, SWalker and I Come in Peace ran past Prince and the enemy tank.

Their sprint toward The Untamed Seventh's mages and healer was barred by AxBeast.

Clenching his ax's handle tightly, he threw himself into a spin. "SPIN TO WIN!"

AxBeast's speed was so fast that he turned into a small tornado. No one could see his expression or even his muscles as he spun around! His ax drew a sharp circle that no one could bypass!

It was a seemingly unstoppable skill!

Shaw and SWalker, however, exchanged curt glances and nodded. They slid below him and quickly got to their two feet, resuming their race toward the enemy's backlines.

AxBeast stopped and screamed. "Huh?!"

His two opponents utterly ignored him.

"Huhhhhhhhhhhh?!"

Rothlord and Waifu Trainer looked into each other's eyes. One of them was calm, while the other was pissed beyond his comfort zone.

Their lips quickly moved as they exchanged ideas to form a perfect plan.

The healer didn't even dare to chime in right now.

Simultaneously, the mages of Untamed thrust their staves forward!

Rothlord's explosive magic turned into gunpowder as it snaked toward Shaw and SWalker. He didn't aim at his opponents but rather at the area between them!

"They must have noticed it," Rothlord calmly said.

Waifu Trainer spat, "Doesn't matter!"

The explosion ensued.

It forced two clowns to distance away from each other. The magic was much stronger than they had anticipated as their masks and a part of their equipment cracked despite them pouncing away at the right moment!

The ground beneath them rumbled once these two landed in their respective areas.

Though they must have been so familiar with this skill by now, the appearance of two earth hands big enough to squeeze an adult human still took them by surprise.

Shaw and SWalker were swatted away.

However, these two weren't here because they were friends with Jake. In fact, they were friends with him because they were strong and talented! Their weapons came in clutch as they defended themselves using them and mitigated as much damage as possible.

Their sharp blades fell at the earth hands.

The magic didn't have any feelings.

Despite these two slicing through the earth hand's fingers, their size and form forced SWalker and Shaw to take a few steps back. The explosive magic once again flew toward them!

'This is pissing me off!'

'How troublesome,'

Their paths were cut off by the combination of two magic skills! Before, SWalker and Shaw had tried to go around those hands, but Waifu Trainer could stretch them out so well that it was difficult to escape them.

Rothlord's magic was the nail in the coffin!

'We can avoid this explosive magic by running away from its angle,' that was the conclusion these two had to come to.

It forced them to move further away from the mages.

But once that explosion damaged the respective earth hands, Shaw and SWalker swore to close the gap quickly with them.

Waifu Trainer felt gleeful, 'Yeah, it's a common tactic to use the enemies' skills to one's advantage. Your thinking process would have worked had it not been for the fact that we've mined the entire surroundings and even managed to combine our two magics!'

Correct.

Untamed Seventh were prepared to face their enemies from every angle. The main door obliterated by Prince was one of the four angles that Rothlord and Waifu Trainer had mined.

With their combination of magics, these two forced SWalker and Shaw to bump into the other walls of their base.

In those walls dwelled the powerful explosive magic, waiting for its turn!

Stars flashed around SWalker and Shaw's heads as their backs touched the walls.

'No way,' these two thought.

A certain someone in the crowd widely smiled, 'Yes way.'

BANG!

-

Two ear-deafening explosions swept through the oasis. As the temperature within the base elevated, it was clear that the desert's scorching air flooded in through the gaping holes in the walls.

Shaw and SWalker were nowhere to be seen after the dust subsided.

These two were chucked out of the base by Waifu Trainer, as he had turned his earth hands into fists and punched them to finish them off.

Shaw was half-buried in the scalding sand.

[You're exposed to the high temperature!]

[You're liable to lose more stamina!]

[Your stamina is burning and dropping at high speed!]

[Your body has gone through an immense shock. You're stunned for ten seconds.]

[You have suffered severe health points loss in a short amount of time! You have lost half of your stamina!]

[You're losing fifty health points per second from the unknown source.]

[The unknown source turns out to be the desert's sand.](The system confirmed it as Shaw opened his eyes.)

[You have been inflicted with a high severe bleeding. You're losing one hundred health points per five seconds.]

[I Come In Peace Lv. 30 HP: 761/3140 MP: 455/1250]

'I'll die… if I don't do… anything…' Shaw thought as he stared ahead. The mouth of the broken wall was not that far away. Yet, the distance between him and that gaping hole seemed unreachable for some reason.

It hurt him.

He inwardly screamed to stand up, but the system made it clear that he was stunned.

His heart thumped loudly.

He didn't want to be the first one to die.

'It should be that actor bastard!' he screamed… 'No… he's a tank… we need him… dammit… dammit all!'

Ten seconds passed.

Shaw's health points were barely hanging in. He didn't even look at them and instead crawled out of the sand. On his four, he buried his hands like a mantis would its scythes and drove closer to where his friends were fighting to get two territory spheres!

He didn't pray for an original skill or a miracle.

He relied on himself to get there…

…alas, it wasn't enough this time.

Shaw's health points fell to zero.

[You have died.]

The first member of Casual Clowns has died in the esports tournament.

Outside the tournament, Peace stared at the screen, her eyes blurred by tears. Her friends tried to encourage her, but she blamed herself for her boyfriend's demise, as he would have been stronger had it not been for their adventures.

She bit her lips and forced a smile. "Casual Clowns had better beat those Untamed assholes! If only they dare to make my boy's sacrifice meaningless, I'll beat them all myself!"

At the same time, one of the pillars of Untamed stood up and shouted. "You saw that, crow bish! That's how you defeat clowns!"

Before Nadia could respond, Peace stood up and screamed at Mary, "Close your mouth before your dirty stench wafts over here, bish! I don't want to talk with you about your guild's pathetic means to defeat Casual Clowns! If it weren't for that desert, they all would have died already! Sit down and pray for them not to get embarrassed now that Casual Clowns are furious! You're done! So done!

Did you bring collars to tame your Seventh Team?!"

"Calm down, Anna! That's Mary November!" Peace's friends tried to drag Peace out of the spotlight.

Too late.

Mary craned toward Peace and glared at her.

However, before any vulgar words could bypass her lips, Robert got onto his two feet and snatched her back to the seat.

Peace smirked and sat down.

She crossed her legs and sat like a boss.
