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

Since Welshy was quite famous for bullying newbie archers, a few more eyes had been directed toward Jake.

He'd defeated a mage with a wind domain in a single arrow!

His attack didn't even consider Welshy's skill as a problem!

He also didn't stop at Welshy.

He turned his head in El Boss Queen's direction.

She was worse than a parasite. She utterly disregarded anyone, including the instructors and the guards.

If she died, she'd return.

If she was thrown into a prison, she'd wait and return.

Her strength and skills were also impressive since she could overpower many talented mages, swordsmen, and spearmen on the training grounds. In fact, her record was better against players with melee weapons.

However, the secret of her strength was different from what others believed it to be.

Jake stared at her.

'She should have taken out her weapon by now,' he thought.

[You are about to start a duel with the player El Boss Queen Lv. 28]

'Which means she uses her fists and is a close combat player,' Jake thought. 'Her equipment looks more like a sportsman's gym clothes… so she must either have a high endurance or is reckless. Her battle plan should be to close distance with me as fast as possible and pummel me with destructive punches.'

Jake considered his options.

He smiled. 'Alright, let's see if she has what it takes to activate one of my bow's skills! I'll not hold back and reveal my archery to everyone!'

As this thought crossed Jake's mind, the duel began.

He entered the Formless Soldier Form. His stance was as rigid as the World Tree.

Jake let the first arrow go.

It whistled like an eagle's cry.

El Boss Queen, however, drowned that whistle in her movement skill's tremors. She rushed forward like a beast, her heavy and rapid steps sounding like a stampede of titans. The entire training grounds' rumbled as she drove into Jake's arrow!

The arrow met her forehead… and split in half.

Jake widened his eyes in surprise…

…and so did Viktor.

It was a four-bladed arrow with a stiff arrow's spine. The metal's arrow point was as lethal as the monster's teeth, yet this woman could have blocked it with her skin alone!

'It's Viktor's craft! He must be pissed,' Jake chuckled. He released a few more arrows to test El Boss Queen's skill, only to get more impressed by her as she thoroughly brushed off his prowess.

El Boss Queen howled in a ringing laughter. "I don't see despair on your punchable face yet, Archer! Any other archer would have already dropped onto their knees, just like that pathetic group you're trying to impress has done many times!"

Jake didn't answer, even though he could hear her shouts too much.

His gears shifted, and an excitement rushed through his heart.

At the same time, his enemy slammed herself into him like a bull. She used her left shoulder as a weapon, intending to topple Jake backward.

He, however, stood still on his two legs.

That didn't intimidate El Boss Queen. She was quick to adapt. She swept her right hand wide, slapping Jake's bow off him!

The unique design of the bow made it impale itself deep into the ground.

The crowd sighed.

Was it already over?

What was an archer without a bow?

Jake didn't even think this way.

He lowered his perception bubble to only have himself and his opponent in it. Once he had done that, he could easily read El Boss Queen's attacks.

He tilted his head to the side, avoiding a lethal punch. It howled in his eardrums.

Following that move was a rain of punches that Jake blocked while giving his heart out. He used the experience he'd hoarded from Saku and various opponents he'd fought.

The main reason he could do so well in close combat was because he'd been trying to imitate his companion's way of wilderness against the tree soldiers!

His close combat was on another level because of it!

To be more precise, it was—[Intermediate—IX]

Armed with his strength and dexterity stats, Jake could guard himself well and even catch El Boss Queen's punches. He was doing worse against kicks, which she had noticed down the line.

'You noticed that weakness… too late, El Boss Queen,' Jake sneered. 'And you haven't noticed yet that… you've been dancing on my palm all this time.'

As he thought about it, Jake forcefully broke the battle's flow. He suffered a few significant health point losses, as El Boss Queen's fists had been coated in an offensive skill to increase her offensive power, but Jake didn't care much about them as he had closed up enough distance to weave his arms around her.

Because of the sudden, broken flow, El Boss Queen had been taken aback by Jake's move.

She was defenseless for a few precious seconds.

With his time with Saku and Carla flashing in his mind, Jake locked his arms around El Boss Queen, utterly stopping her rampage.

He understood well how humans could be defenseless in experienced hands.

That said, Jake wasn't that experienced.

He only knew and practiced one move for a long time—an over-shoulder throw.

'This spot, this timing, this grasp! I've had you all the time on a leash, the woman! Perfection!' Jake screamed inwardly.

He exerted his entire strength, lifting El Boss Queen's immobilized body.

And then, he threw her down…

…onto the bow's sharp end. The bow that El Boss Queen believed had slapped away off him!

The truth was that Jake had purposely let it go to show others a glimpse of his archery!

His heart couldn't have been more overjoyed at the moment!

"Ahhh!" El Boss Queen screamed as she didn't lower her pain sensors. The bow's end pierced her stomach and went through her toned abs like a knife into butter.

She was impaled on the bow worse than it was on the ground. It was as though Jake's bow could stun any opponent skewered on it!

Blood trickled down her lips after she had coughed a mouthful of it.

El Boss Queen was temporarily defenseless—she could only stare at the ground with a terrible precognition.

Even she, however, wasn't prepared for what was to come.

Jake stared at her with a cold face.

His lips curved up into his peculiar smile.

He straightened his index finger and pointed it at the skies. "Expand."

The other half of the bow(the one that skewered El Boss Queen) shot up. It rose like a tree toward the skies.

El Boss Queen felt like she was on a German highway, driving without any speed limits.

Her vision was blurred.

Before she noticed, she hung up in the skies, just below the clouds. From the bird's view, she could see the capital's vista, the grand castle, and the even more astonishing mountain protecting Last Night's South.

It happened in an instant, then.

The Archer whispered, "Shrink."

Left in the skies without any support, El Boss Queen's fate was anything but sealed.

'This asshole!'

She stood still for a second before plummeting to the ground.

She heavily dropped, conjuring a cloud of dust.

Once the draping curtain sank, El Boss Queen was nowhere to be found.

It was an instant death.
