Chapter 41: Ender (2)

[You have entered a hidden room.]

Wearing the wolf boss set, which significantly improved his defenses, Jake appeared in the hidden room where Ender slept.

Jake didn't bother with a torch this time, going straight ahead to activate the ancient writings glued to the ground and the pillars.

Their glaring light momentarily blinded Jake.

At the same time, Ender woke up from his slumber, spreading his wings wide. He rose to the ceiling and immediately drowned the cave in his bottomless darkness, anticipating the human traitor's return!

"Haha!" Ender's prideful laughter boomed in the cave. "You even betrayed your kind and became one of the misfits! Have you been expecting me to side with you because of that?!"

After hiding behind the blazing pillar, Jake shook his head. "That never crossed my mind."

"Lies," Ender replied, confident in judgment. "It must have crossed your mind now that you became one of the misfits! They're supposed to be a group that respects and loves both sides! But for me, they're mere hypocrites, losers, and traitors all the same! Our kind was never meant to see eye to eye with humans!"

Jake smiled, "You're putting words into my mouth now. Just to let you know, I don't want to have you as my summon because I don't want a prideful existence such as yours to influence me too much!"

"As if you have what it takes to defeat me!" Ender screeched and flapped his wings, bombarding the pillar behind which Jake had hidden himself. "Insolent brat! Your ancestors would have killed each other to have my knowledge and experience!"

Jake chuckled, "Never heard of them."

Leaving the hidden spot, Jake entered the Soldier Form and swiftly released his arrows.

After the training arc against the monkeys and their armies, Jake could rapidly enter the rigid stance and swiftly draw his highest anchor point, releasing the strongest arrow much faster.

With Ender's unique white beak twinkling in the darkness like a treasure, Jake didn't need to focus that much on aiming and released his bone arrow without any tricks.

In this case, no tricks meant that Jake fought only with his muscle memory and form.

Twirling in the darkness, Ender dodged the first arrow and climbed higher. Two more arrows followed after him, but he was much faster and free. He sank into his ocean of darkness and bid his time to strike Jake.

Though he must have hidden deep in his darkness, those prideful eyes must have caught up that Jake crumbled into his Master Form without any stress and looked forward calmly and decisively.

It was noteworthy progress after their last clash.

[-395 HP!]

Ender soared up to the ceiling of darkness while screeching in agony.

'Got him! Keep pressing forward!' Jake stood up, aiming his bow. For some reason, he felt like his perception skill cleaned up more than just a path for him. His skill seemed to have lightened up even the darkness, facilitating him so much that he could easily see Ender's dark feathers and white cracked beak!

It was because Jake's perception skill upped in grade.

He also locked the fourth arrow with Death's Lock!

It flew like a bronze eagle toward the black predator!

'Don't let him escape to his darkness, Odin!' Jake inwardly shouted.

[You have used The Call Of The Wolf Boss.]

Appearing above Ender, Odin instantly opened his jaw to take one of his wings.

Unfortunately, Ender had been ready for that since the start. The only way for Odin to stop him was to approach from above him, just because Odin couldn't fly or control himself well while flying.

He was just a wolf, after all.

Which was why Ender spun and slammed his right wing into Odin's face, sending him flying to the side.

Odin, however, had also become stronger!

He didn't let the force shut him down and kept his eyes open!

"NOW!"

Following his master's command, Odin released his prideful howl, which barreled into the eagle like a torpedo.

Ender glared at the invisible force with widened eyes until it hit him.

Once Odin dealt more than two hundred damage to him, Ender's head craned to the side, now staring at the archer below him, whose bow had been drawn and green eyes shone so much he could see his demise in them.
