BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113: The First Dungeon (18)
It was because they completed each other well.
Prince could take up to ten players with his class, items, and skills. His sister kept him alive with essential buffs and also used them to breeze through enemies rooted around him.
Jake\'s archery dealt with anyone standing on the backlines.
He was also proficient enough to shoot down magic skills before they could converge on Prince. It was because Jake had been practicing rapid releases in his Joker and Master forms.
He also didn\'t have to \'defeat\' those skills.
He could use blunt arrow points to overwhelm them with his high strength and dexterity. The blunt arrow point was also perfect against any kind of low-level magic.
At the lowest levels, mages used their magic with the help of five elements—fire, water, wind, electricity, and earth.
Fire was the most popular element. In addition to being one of the coolest types to wield, it also frightened humans\' hearts the most.
Jake\'s arrows may have been wooden, but the steel points and blunt design were more than enough to disperse any mage\'s skills. Viktor\'s experience and masterful craft dwelled in those arrows.
For this reason, Jake could have won against all the mage skills darting at him and his teammates.
Those who witnessed this prowess couldn\'t stop themselves from voicing their doubts.
It was unreal for an archer to be this powerful, so the nickname \'the irregular\' became even more famous.
Jake\'s class and stats matched this moniker well.
Any other archer in his place wouldn\'t have been able to achieve the same results. Jake hadn\'t spent so many months on the tutorial island for other archers to be able to catch up to him without much effort.
Even if others were given the same arrows and bow, the difference between them and Jake would be like the difference between hell and heaven.
Jake was a pioneer.
He wielded his own archery.
He was meant to be this good against mobs from smaller guilds!
Prince flourished his broad sword, wiping the foreign blood off of it.
He cracked his neck and said, "At this rate, we won\'t make it to the second floor. Those bastards started using dirty tricks, and their teamwork improved. They must have made a group chat between three guilds and started working more closely with each other to hunt us."
The dirty tricks Prince had spoken about were quite simple.
The guilds leveraged their numbers advantages. They lurched at Prince and his team without the intent to win but to wear them down. It was much more difficult to fight an opponent with nothing to lose.
Moreover, Prince was so pissed at them because the players who had stolen his and his sister\'s equipment were nowhere to be seen.
Sin replied, "How about we change our goals, then? Let\'s make it to the second floor and find an ideal spot to log out and call it a day."
Jake nodded, " I agree with this idea… and I can only log in tomorrow late evening. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I also have an archery club tomorrow."
Prince exclaimed, "Oh! You really are giving your all to archery! Haha! I like it. Alright. I shall bring you to the second floor and find a perfect base!"
Sin added, "The break in our operation will make our enemies lower their guards. It\'s not that bad that Archer can\'t log in tomorrow. We all can take a break. Don\'t run to any club tomorrow. Have a meeting with your manager, Damien."
Prince sighed. It was quite a loud and prolonged sigh.
He raised a white flag, agreeing with his sister.
Jake pondered aloud, "Maybe I would be able to mine tomorrow? If I take off this equipment, I should be able to easily blend with others and casually mine… or is it too much?"
"I\'d say it\'s too risky," Sin replied. Prince agreed.
If Jake were to lose his bow or even just one quiver of arrows, it\'d be a huge blow to his prowess. It was difficult to predict how other guilds would react and whether they would be able to recognize Jake without his mask.
\'Eh, that\'s why I prefer being solo… but it\'s fun to work with skilled and rich players, though,\' Jake inwardly thought after agreeing with the siblings.
It seemed he would spend more time in the archery club instead of returning home like usual.
That was when Sin had surprised Jake.
"Before we log out, I\'ll give you my invisibility necklace. You can use it to leave the dungeon unnoticed and test your eagle pet\'s skill. Selling items of the players we\'ve killed might expose you, but I trust your judgment," Sin said.
She took off her necklace and passed it to Jake.
He took it like a real treasure. It was warm since she had it on herself all the time. The gem hanging on the chain was the warmest.
When Jake recalled that it usually hung close to her cleavage, his cheeks slightly reddened.
He put the necklace on to hide his embarrassment.
In the meantime, Sin received an elbow blow from her brother. Prince smirked.
Sin put a blind eye to him.
[You have received Eve\'s Hide N Seek Necklace(Epic)(Accessory)(Durability(500/500)(0% Mana)]
[Epic Active Skill—Hide N Seek—apply an invisible mantle to the user and anyone near him! Consumes fifty mana points per thirty seconds!]
[Description: So, listen here, whoever buys this one. I made it! The Great Eve! The player who shall create a bunch of annoying accessories to piss off women and men! The mana in this necklace is also stored in a way that you must fill it yourself from zero percent! Get it?
It\'s not broken! It\'s that special because I am special! I\'m so special that if you dare to use this item for dirty purposes, bring me in! I\'m straight, btw.]
Jake raised his eyes at Sin.
She matched his stare and said, "A loser made it. A loser with talent."
"Yeah…" Jake nodded.
