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

Jake fell like a broken marionette.

The assassin curtly glanced at his fallen corpse before turning around. He didn't think a low-level player like Jake could have something interesting on him.

The pressure of time was also weighing him down.

Cerberus kept roaring, and he was at his lowest.

The assassin's role was important in their mission to steal the kill and loot. He couldn't idle around the low-level player.

Which was why he didn't pay any more attention to Jake.

"Only his mask was cool, but I've seen better anyway," the assassin said.

He disappeared like a shadow.

Meanwhile, Jake remained low like a corpse.

[The Assassin's Pride(Rare) has sustained the damage you have received to your neck.]

[The item has taken too much damage.]

[The durability has fallen below zero.]

[The Assassin's Pride(Rare) has been destroyed.]

Lifting his eyes, Jake stared ahead with confidence and his unusual stubbornness.

'It was… no, it wasn't lucky,' Jake thought as he pulled himself up to his two feet. 'I killed that assassin with my strongest and took that item as a token of victory. If it wasn't for my strength and path, I wouldn't have been here. I wouldn't have a chance to participate in Cerberus' raid! I'm here because of my effort and due diligence! ZERO LUCK!'

Flames of confidence kindled Jake's eyes, making them shine like jewels. His tattoos burned with the same passion, as though Jake contracted his summons with it.

He didn't look behind.

He didn't consider any other obstacle on his way.

Jake simply ran forward to the other end of the hidden path to take a glance at Cerberus and steal him!

The darkness of this tunnel seemed to have been so inviting that Jake felt at home.

He raced against everything.

Soon, he could see a huge break in the ground from which various lights stretched upward. Sounds of Cerberus' cries and many skills battering him flew through this hole as though looking for solace.

Jake hadn't spotted anyone.

'They must have gone inside to steal him! Cerberus is still alive, so they must have a few complications! I have a chance! And I will not waste it!' Jake thought.

He stepped over the edge of the break and looked inside.

Just as he was about to analyze the entire scene below him, the ground beneath his feet trembled. It wasn't caused by anyone beneath him but by someone at his height—Alva.

The ground became animated and threatened to take Jake away from the hole. Despite Jake being just a low-level player, Alva had his own pride to consider and would never allow a pest to enter the main stage.

'Prince and Sin are dead. You two have bought enough time… I will finish the rest,' Jake thought. He understood that if he did nothing, the ground would turn into a carpet, bringing him to Alva's feet.

There was only one option to deal with that!

A reckless option that would have taken casual players a few more seconds to reconsider their thoughts.

But Jake wasn't a normal player by any means.

He climbed The Unconquerable Mountain, after all!

Though he may not have been as prepared now as he had been on the newbie island, Jake's courage and belief in himself have skyrocketed since those times.

He leaped into the hole, entering the main stage without any plan.

In an instant, the dark scenery of the hidden path was blown away, replaced by the bright colors of the dungeon boss' room.

The green torches were perched on either side, hanging on the grand pillars, which could have withstood the battle between the high-level players and Cerberus.

Cerberus also shone, but not for a good reason. He was trapped in many mage skills, which hindered his movement and allowed the alliance to poison him.

Now that The Ark's team had entered the stage, the alliance's team and their enemies fought against each other, with the mages of the alliance keeping tabs on Cerberus' prison.

So many skills had been used that their forms ricocheted and hit the legendary boss, causing him to howl from anger and pain.

Jake's face was lit up by flames, lightning, and mana prisons, which shone in blue and red. The golden color of the door that Cerberus had been protecting with his life also strapped itself on Jake's right cheek.

He had only entered the main stage, hanging close to the ceiling as he had yet to drop low.

If he were to drop like that, he would undoubtedly die.

Jake, however, didn't think of just dying.

He had just cleared one of his team's two goals. He snatched a glimpse of Cerberus.

It was time to kill him, or at least try to get him!

[The First Cerberus(Legendary Boss) Lv. 30 HP: 549/20 000 MP: 127/12 000]

'Doable!' Jake screamed inwardly.

He was still flying down, having absolutely no control over his body. He didn't even have a ground to root himself to draw his highest anchor or enter any of his forms. The wind beat into his ears and eyes, but he kept the latter wide open so as not to lose sight of his target.

He'd hate himself to the core if he were to close his eyes at this crucial moment!

In this desperate and impossible moment, Jake stood loyal to his principles and archery. He opened his inventory and yanked free his weapon and arrow. He nocked his strongest, four-bladed arrow on The Headless Hunter and pulled his bowstring as much as possible.

[You have applied Death's Lock on The First Cerberus.]

[You have applied Archer's Death Eye on The First Cerberus.]

As those skills took over Jake's eyes, he imagined his strongest arrow's trajectory toward Cerberus' head. A flicker of the past flashed in Jake's mind as he recalled how he had done it for the first time against the effigy.

Richard's words echoed in Jake's mind.

[Straighten your back!]

Jake tried to do that.

Alas, it was impossible against the wind, the gravity, and the pressure of the legendary boss.

That said, this attempt to take the Soldier Form, despite all odds, gave birth to something entirely different.

Jake tilted his head to get a better and steady view of Cerberus. It was a part of The Master Form and its variety of angles.

His back was forcefully bent, but he still felt rigid and strong—the perfection found in the disturbed Soldier's Form.

His legs were joined, but not straight and rooted to anything, and yet, Jake could draw in his entire force and even double it! It was Joker's Freedom that Jake had in mind when he first thought of this form to enable his deepest desire!

In a way, his body became a bow!

A new, fourth form, therefore, has been created—The Formless.

In this form, Jake's hair stood on its ends, goosebumps ran through him from head to toe, and his blood boiled.

It was a feeling of utmost confidence in himself and archery.

'This form, this angle, this stage—it all belongs to me and my archery!' Jake thought.

Feeling proud and powerful, Odin had already taken the form of The Fenrir's Arrow and weaved himself around Jake's strongest arrow. Sparks of black-red lightning popped around the red string and black bow.

'HOWL YOUR TRUE NAME, ODIN!' Jake released the arrow.

The cave shook with the thunder.

The thunder that all high-level players were unfamiliar with yet could recognize as the one that had awakened Cerberus.

Their eyes darted up, only to see a low-level player wielding the bow.

Their attention was quickly stolen by the arrow darting toward Cerberus' mouth. Those quick to uptake felt coldness swathing their hearts, as this arrow seemed like it could cause a lot of trouble!

The arrow!

The legendary boss had also been triggered by the thunder. He ignored everything else and arched his head behind him to look up.

Here, he saw the four-bladed arrow zooming at him.

His legendary eyes could see the wolf behind it.

It wasn't a baby wolf.

It was a fully grown wolf that he could recognize from the depths of his memories.

Cerberus howled in response.

Alas, he was a step short.

The arrow reached him first and slipped into his mouth, tearing through his tongue and throat. The second thunder boomed from within the monster's flesh, making Cerberus spasm and tremble.

His eyes bulged out.

Blood burst out of his mouth like a fountain. Calling it a fountain, however, didn't do the image and damage any justice.

It was like the nuke exploded from within Cerberus—that was how much blood had burst open!

The legendary boss fell onto his knees.

His eyes, full of life and loyalty, slowly lost their light.

His life was… waning.

[You have done a severe critical strike!]

[You have inflicted 800 health points damage to the legendary boss!]

[You have killed The First Cerberus(Legendary)]

[You have extracted the legendary trace!]

'Ender, you know your job! Search for the loot around Cerberus and hide it in your nest! We don't even have to get it! So long as no one else gets it, we're fine! Let's make those high-level players as furious as possible!' Jake shouted.

Because of the impact of his arrow, he had safely landed on the boss's corpse.

He got to his feet and turned to the side.

All high-level players were staring at him and his bow.

Disbelief, shock, and fury were written on their faces.

Jake's heart trembled from elation and excitement.

On his right, the golden door opened.

One of the high-level players screamed, "Don't let him get in!"

"Not so sorry, blud!" Jake replied in a scream, throwing himself into the golden door!
