One of the attackers was an assassin.
He disappeared into the shadows.
The other one was a melee swordsman. He closed up the distance with Jake relatively easily. It could be said that he had rushed in to reach Jake’s side instead of attacking him.
Jake, however, was ready for it. He jumped away, his body as light as a feather.
The swordsman sneered. "Just like we planned!"
The assassin reappeared behind Jake, his long dagger cutting through the air. The blade didn’t meet its target, and Jake’s weight suddenly increased, plummeting him to the ground.
It surprised the duo.
Once on the ground, Jake quickly crumbled into his Joker Form. At this close distance, his eight arrows’ release had no flaws, allowing him to usher in his second-strongest damage.
The eight arrows howled like a horde of horses, and each converged on the man’s chest. The attack was so powerful that the man was toppled backward onto his bottom, unable to move an inch.
It was also so rapid that the assassin didn’t have the time for the second attack.
Only when his friend fell onto his rear did the assassin thrust his dagger once again.
"Your plans are so basic and simple that I can read you with my eyes closed!" Jake shouted. "Assassins at level forty can relocate in the blink of an eye, yet you’ve given me enough time to defeat your friend! Shame on you, bro! I’m going so easy on you because you complimented my girlfriend!"
Jake’s Meredith was hot. He couldn’t argue with the truth.
He didn’t even bother with their comments of wanting to steal Meredith from him as he believed in his girlfriend.
He loved and trusted her.
Which was why Jake went easy on those guys.
"Are you?" Jake asked.
"Yeah, man! I may not have won any tournament or a legendary class, but I have skills that make me famous in The Oath Kingdom’s lawless zone! I have the power of bubbles! Tada!" He spun, creating rainbow bubbles that gathered Wukong and Odin’s attention.
"Those are nice... what kind of magic is that?" Jake asked.
"Magic to spy on others, of course!" Rabbit smirked.
"You’re a criminal," Jake tilted his head.

"Nah, mate, we’re in a lawless zone, right?" Rabbit gave Jake a thumbs-up. "Let’s have some fun together, bro! I can even take you to The Oath Kingdom’s outdoor hot springs if you want!"
"So you are a criminal!" Jake shouted.
"What?! I have discounts for hot springs! I say no to slander! Haha!" Rabbit shook his head as though he was deeply wronger.
Jake didn’t trust him. "So you’re famous in all lawless zones because you can spy, right?"
"Yep," Rabbit nodded, pleased that Jake had switched the topic. "You must have come here to solo the boss! Feels bad man, huh? If it were a normal MMO, you would just go through a portal and have fun with the boss! Here, we have lawless zones and politics! Such a disappointment!"
"Can you help me solo the boss?" Jake asked. "You know what I mean."
"Hah! It seems like we’re bound to hang out together! You and me! We can achieve so much! You couldn’t have asked for better intel than me! Let’s go!
I will take you to this lawless zone’s master! I had a few drinks with him, so we need to curry favor with him before he gives you a free spot against the dungeon’s epic boss! Haha! I can’t believe I am partnering up with Archer! This is so cool!" Rabbit exclaimed.
Jake didn’t know what he had gotten into, but it wasn’t like he had anything else to do.
He followed Rabbit for now.
