Jake checked his team's stats.
SWalker's health points were barely hanging in. He could use bleeding to his advantage, but not for too long, and even that didn't mean his enemies would leave his death to this side effect.
Jake needed to make a move!
'The tank must have dropped a record and a potion!' Jake curtly glanced to the side. He spotted his arrow not too far from the tank's death spot.
He also saw that a record and a potion were scattered on the floor.
'Fast!' Jake teleported to his arrow and lurched at the drop. He could see in the corner of his eye that an enemy shaman did the same. .net
But because Jake was physically stronger, and so were his stats, he was the first one to snatch the loot. It didn't matter that the shaman had been blessed with the buff skills, which were further multiplied.
Jake was that much better in his dominant stats!
"Go at him! I'll finish off SWalker!" Ajed shouted through the voice chat. He would leave protecting his teammate to his second shaman friend. Meanwhile, he'd cast an offensive magic at the weakened and stunned swordsman.
Although Jake couldn't have heard that, he could feel that time was against him. It'd only make sense for his opponents to use their position advantage!
The enemy shaman thrust his palm toward him. "We know how to fight! A spoiled first-world countryman can't imagine how harsh Africa is!"
"I heard you play with crocodiles, but I don't really care, you know?" Jake replied as he avoided the blow. It went past his head.
He threw himself at the man to perform the over-shoulder throw Saku had taught him. It was the best close combat move Jake knew and could do. It was also more than he needed.
Jake effortlessly breached the man's reach. He hooked his arms around him and threw him onto the ground as though he was trash.
The man cried in surprise as his world spun.
Thanks to his buffs and the fact that Jake couldn't do much damage with this move, he didn't suffer much damage.
Jake teleported to Arthur's side.
He could do it easily because of the arrow hidden within Arthur's armor.
Because of that, Jake stood before the tsunami of flames storming at him like a stampede of bulls. It was so huge that even passionate surfers wouldn't consider surfing on it.
"Jake... I'm done."
"No, you're not."
BANG! BANG! BANG!
It was enjoyable until it was not.
A sudden presence befell Shaw. He was stuck in a one-person zone, unable to step back. A heavy presence pressed him into the tube, forcing him to remain rooted to the ground.
'Freaking no! I must make Anna prouder! She must have grown white by now!' Shaw thought.
He recalled the explosions Arthur had bathed in... Shaw was as white as a sheet.
An arrow came to his rescue!
It hit the zone, dispersing it.
The magic evaporated as though it had ceased to exist.
Ajed Black and his shamans dilated their eyes wide. One of them even grew frightened.
Appearing beside his friend, Jake kicked Shaw out of the battle zone.
He escaped straight away after that.
Once he appeared close to Arthur, Jake fell onto his one knee.
He nested his face in his palm.
Arthur whispered, "You've spent too much strength and stamina. Your mind must be too burdened as well."
Jake saved Arthur and Shaw. He spent too much energy on the former as Ajed Black was on their tail while Arthur could not even tremble his finger.
It was normal for Jake to get exhausted.
"Also... you used Ender's Arrow," Arthur added.
"Yeah," Jake nodded. "It's shamans now... so Ender's Arrow is the best. His darkness can devour magic, so I can turn off their totems with a single arrow... but... I'm tired, and we can't have Shaw disabled, either."
Shaw grew embarrassed. "Sorry."
"You did well," Jake said. "We have five minutes of Ender's Arrow. We should split them... two minutes of defensive, and the rest is full assault on them!"
Arthur and Shaw nodded.
