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

Chapter 261: The International Tournament (21)

Jake didn't bother checking his health points.

A single mistake would result in his defeat.

He understood this much.

He couldn't allow her to catch him!

Jake threw himself into a motion. Despite not having any arrows around the battlefield, he still could rely on his dexterity and perception skills.

He eluded all golden chains bolting at him. It looked like he was in a parkour park. A few encounters with them were too close since Jake could have heard them whistling in his ears.

He ducked the golden chain, threw himself into a roll, and then quickly rose. He ran around like a madman whose future depended on dodging those chains!

Odin's tattoo burned.

Jake thought, 'I know! I know you're a raw damage, but…'

But he feared even Fenrir's Arrow wouldn't be enough against Meredith.

That was when Meredith's chains returned to her side.

She furtively checked her stats before nodding to herself.

"Yamata No Orochi," Meredith whispered.

Jake didn't know what she did, but his perception skill alarmed him. His instincts were ringing within him, telling him about the incoming danger.

The danger soon took form.

Meredith produced an absurd amount of chains. She no longer had six golden chains but so much more that Jake couldn't count them. Those chains weaved around each other, thickening their mass.

In less than a few seconds, Jake could see through her scheme.

Her chains formed an eight-headed serpent. Each head had two black chains, their crimson-red auras shining within their skulls.

The weight of those chains and the abundance of mana within them caused this skill to be an ultimate weapon strong enough to fight against armies alone… or teams!

Jake stood like an ant before it.

He felt how powerful it was.

At its feet, Meredith stood still. Her mana barrier was on a much higher level now that she used this skill. Only destroying eight heads could get Jake to her side!

This skill was her original skill, which she created after studying Yamata No Orochi for her school project.

Meredith's voice resounded across the floor. "Stronger and faster… You can no longer run away from me, Archer."

Jake's heart thumped aloud.

His eyes widened, and Jake gazed at Yamata No Orochi.

It was such a beautiful skill.

It was such a demanding skill.

Meredith must have worked a lot to make it a reality.

Yamata No Orochi must have frightened and shocked countless enemies… but not Jake.

It compelled him to go beyond limits, and he loved that.

He saw a single way to win against it and defeat Meredith.

He broadly smiled. His peculiar Joker Smile hit the audience like a smooth criminal.

Abruptly, Jake clenched his bow and shot an arrow toward the ceiling.

He teleported to it and nocked it on his bowstring.

His back faced Yamata No Orochi. Its eight jaws lurched forward to devour him.

Jake's mind spun.

His bow elongated so much that it was twice his height.

Jake's hands moved on their own, then. He nocked the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh… and the eight arrow on his bowstring.

[I can release up to Seven Hydras.]

'I'm better than you, Viktor!' Jake shouted at the memory swirling in his head.

[You should believe more in your talent.]

'Of course, Master! I am better than this tsundere… and more talented than you!' Jake inwardly nodded.

[I never regretted training skills raw.]

'Yeah… hard work is my trading card! That's why I know the requirements for Hydra! I know how it works and drilled those prerequisites into my bones! Create trajectories for my arrows! Sheathe The Feather Step's gravity concept into those trajectories and bend them along with my arrows! Mark the targets and control the flight from the beginning to the end!

I can do this! I will do this to win against her!'

Jake's perception skill howled within him as he sheathed Odin's tattoo into one of his eight arrows.

That was when everything started lining up!

[You have temporarily unlocked The Archer's Feral Vision.]

[Your skill, The Feather Step, has evolved to the legendary grade.]

A jolt of electricity went through Jake.

He sneered.

[You have created an original skill based on Viktor Asta Bow's Hydra.]

"THE EIGHT-HEADED FENRIR!" Jake screamed.

He turned around, facing the zooming Yamata No Orochi with his face and bow! His eyes shone bright as he reflected Meredith's face.

He drew the bowstring close to his face, the bow's limbs trembling as unbelievable strength had been put into it.

[The Eight-Headed Fenrir has used Death's Lock.]

[The Eight-Headed Fenrir has used Fenrir's Arrow.]

Jake slid the bowstring on his thumb ring.

Thunder clapped eight times.

Eight arrows tucked into his trajectories.

None of them whistled; they howled like a pack of wolves.

All arrows blinked to Yamata No Orochi, each arrow taking heads directly!

Countless sparks fled away as spinning arrows drilled into the chains! Tremors swept through the floor.

Above, the wolves and serpents were in a stalemate, crying distinctively.

It clicked, then.

Simultaneously, all eight arrows went through the eight-headed serpent's skulls. The necks of Yamata No Orochi didn't even prove to be a challenge, as arrows quickly converged on Meredith's barrier!

She was assaulted from two sides, either attacked by three arrows!

Because each arrow carried Fenrir's presence, its damage was beyond what Meredith could handle.

Eight claps of thunder swept through her small head.

Meredith's mana barrier cracked into a thousand particles, leaving her utterly defenseless.

All chains burst into pieces as well.

She caught her head as she received a backlash from having her trump card and mana barrier destroyed in a short time. It was difficult to remain on two feet.

Meanwhile, Jake landed.

He drew the highest anchor.

The thunder cracked.

The arrow flew straight at Meredith.

Alas, his fingers were too strained by constant battles and The Eight-Headed Fenrir! Ultimately, the arrow missed its target and lodged itself in Meredith's shoulder.

The second thunder resounded.

She puked a mouthful of blood, and so did Jake.

Meredith raised her trembling hand.

Jake's heart sank into coldness. 'I can't let her… hit me…'

Fortunately, she didn't have the strength to break the arrow within her shoulder. Jake teleported to it. He held one of his twin swords and thrust it straight into her chest!

At the same time, Meredith surprised Jake by taking out a black chain.

Those black chains were his bane!

Meredith fell onto her rear as Jake draped her. He was now atop her.

"You will die," Jake spat as he used his weight to drive his sword deeper into her chest.

"We will both die," Meredith replied as a matter of fact.

Jake leaned closer to her ear now that his sword was quite deep into her. "I'm not so troubled by that."

"…I don't mind it, either," Meredith replied after a few awkward seconds.

The chain was wrapped around them, ready to kill them both.

Jake licked his lips.

He said, "Go out with me."

"You really asked me out when we're about to die?"

"Yeah, you only have a few seconds to reply in those awesome circumstances."

"How about you tell me what you like about me?"

"Your tits and—"

BANG!

[You have died.]

[The Meredith has died.]
