BANG!
The thunder howled on the training grounds! Everyone swallowed up their words as Odin's arrow zoomed in Last Coin's direction.
Their hearts hammered into their chests. Most players here were newbies. It was too early for them to wield this much power, yet Jake could, meaning there was a chance for them to achieve the same power soon!
The group of archers that had been rightfully forgotten by everyone had their hearts stolen by this arrow.
It was such a powerful arrow that turned everyone deaf and mute.
It would have been their dream to wield that power, too, as they would have been able to shut up all those bullies with it!
Last Coin stared at the incoming beast with widened eyes.
'It'll reach me... I can tell!' Last Coin told himself. He raised his hand and channeled his mana.
Despite standing at the end of the humid zone, the arrow's strength and mana were on totally another level. It was so strong that it made up for Jake's lack of experience and allowed him to go through the zone where he couldn't shoot.
'Earth Wall! Thirty times up!' Last Coin shouted.
Thirty walls rose from ahead of him, forming a line of earth dominoes. Each wall was thick and tough. Half of them were past the humid zone.
Meaning Fenrir's Arrow quickly got to its first hurdle!
BANG!
The second thunder echoed.
The Fenrir's Arrow popped open thirty holes in the mage's defense in no more than a second. The last hole reminded Last Coin of a monster's jaw as it towered over him, compelling him to take a look.
On the other end of that hole, Archer stood with his bow drawn. His toned muscles were drawn taut, and he had put all of himself into his Formless Soldier Form.
Thunder howled beside him.
The second arrow whistled at Last Coin.
'Earth Wall! Thirty times up!' Last Coin responded with the same magic. Since the first walls had been lined up like dominoes, he could easily fill in the gaps and make the second line of defense.
The ground rumbled as the fourth thunder rang out on the scene.
This time, the last earth wall endured the assault. It didn't show any glimpse of Last Coin's face. That said, Last Coin also couldn't see Jake. He also didn't have the skill to track him.
After dropping onto the ground, Jake stood up and looked ahead.
Last Coin was still sheathed in his zone. It was not the same as it used to be, but it still was not something Jake could encroach to fight the mage in melee range.
From the depths of that place, Last Coin blew around fifty rocks at Jake. Those hailed from the broken walls he'd conjured earlier to defend himself against Jake.
Each rock was two times bigger than an adult man's head.
Getting hit by even a single one could result in a fatal injury.
'He wouldn't throw me at them out of frustration. He's not that simple! Each of those rocks will soon accelerate!' Jake read into Last Coin's move.
He was right.
Last Coin used his Gust Of Wind to increase the speed of those rocks. He'd done that instantly, causing the crowd to exclaim in admiration.
It took more than proficiency or talent to achieve such a thing.
'I don't have time to see through those rocks. I can see that he did his best to limit my angles. Which means I can only destroy them all.' Jake thought.
He recalled the training sessions he'd done with his master.
[We're upping your training regime to the second level.]
Jake's eyes shone bright.
He read the velocity and strength of each rock.
Before he'd noticed, his hands were already performing the muscle memory he was so familiar with.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Like a human robot, he took arrows from his quiver and nocked them on his bowstring. He was so fast and efficient, each arrow perfectly destroying the rocks.
Blunt arrows had been used to achieve this feat.
The whistles of Jake's archery sounded like chuckles of a devil.
Once the last rock crumbled close to his feet, Jake lowered his head and looked up. His smile was wider than ever before.
Last Coin stared agape at him, and so did the crowd.
Only a single beautiful woman wore a bright smile, "You've passed the second level."
