Jake's opponent hadn't said the last word, though.
Before Jake made the next move, weaving a ribbon of teleportation and skidding around his opponent, I Co In Peace transford himself into a different human being.
Though transformation may have been too much of a word, I Co In Peace used so many buff skills that his aura surged. Those who had learned the perception skill and fought a few enemies could sense the difference in his strength and presence.
I Co In Peace kept muttering the nas of his skills… "Low Stamina Strengthening, Low Dexterity Strengthening, Interdiate Strength Strengthening, Interdiate Dexterity Straightening, A Swift Blade, An Eye Of the Spearman, An End Of The Edge…"
Various skills applied on such short notice caused the wind to swirl around I Co In Peace.
If his mana was visible around him, he would have looked like a hero from stories and movies.
The crowd swayed with excitent.
"That's it! His 'I'm done with you' move! My boy will skewer him to death!" Peace shouted.
"He's sacrificed his mana to strengthen himself to the limits!"
"He left everything to his spear!"
"Like a true master of a spear!"
Ignoring everyone but his girlfriend's words, I Co In Peace stretched his left hand to the arrow lodged in his back and yanked it off. He crushed it in his palm before locking his yellow eyes on Jake.
An arrow was flying toward him.
I Co In Peace slashed through it and zood at his foe.
'So much faster! A single arrow barely could have stopped him—' Jake thought.
That was when he felt too many foreign presences on himself. It was as though he had beco riddled with red dots coming from lasers.
This feeling represented I Co In Peace's next move—a flurry of blades!
It was nothing but a flow of consecutive thrusts!
That said, I Co In Peace had strengthened himself so much and used his skills, such as perception and others, to turn his thrusts into a deadly move that didn't require any mana but strength, speed, and experience!
Each red dot—which Jake felt with his own perception—could turn into a gaping hole from which severe bleeding would blossom.
'I can't read this flow!' Jake thought, unable to tell where I Co In Peace would attack first.
As this thought crossed his mind, I Co In Peace appeared before him like a demon.
With the spear tightly clenched in his two hands, he leaned forward to execute his deadly move.
A single thrust weighed so much that the wind cried as the spearman tore through it.
Weight aside, the speed was also beyond what common players could perceive.
For most of the crowd, it appeared like I Co In Peace had thrust his weapon once.
Unfortunately for Jake, he had done it twelve tis.
He turned Jake into a Swiss cheese, as blood spurted and Jake's leather armor exposed his flash in gaping, dangerous breaks. His torso looked the worst.
'He managed to twist his body and neck just in ti to dodge the lethal wounds on the heart, side, and neck,' I Co In Peace thought. 'I also couldn't take his bow off his hand. Still, I'm not done yet—'
Though his flow had paused for a second, as he had to see how much damage he'd done to Jake, I Co In Peace could quickly resu his final move.
That was what he thought.
Jake, however, had caught the spear's spine.
"My turn," he said.
I Co In Peace looked up only to see an erald and golden eye gazing at him.
Goosebumps went down I Co In Peace's back.
[You have assimilated with dusa.]
[Your stats have been updated.]
Jake disappeared from the spearman's eyes.
"It's not a teleportation! He's still close to you!" The Instructor Of Spearmanship shouted at his disciple. From the outsider's perspective, it was easy to see what Jake had done.
He used his enemy's blank point to broaden distance with him. It was what Carla had introduced him to and warned about, which Jake didn't have ti to practice yet used now because he couldn't have thought of anything else.
It worked well. Perhaps Jake's adrenaline and talent were enough to make up for the lack of experience!
Nonetheless, I Co In Peace was so disoriented that he couldn't have chased after Jake in ti.
Once he noticed him, Jake had already released his arrows.
Jake thought, 'He's amazing. That raw show of spearmanship really got there! I couldn't tell where he would attack and barely defended my weak spots… but that inspired . That move has evolved !'
Three arrows had been rapidly released.
They had been sent in Joker Form, aning there was barely any lag behind their releases.
'Who says I can't do the sa?' Jake smirked as he thought.
One arrow was flying straight at the man's head, and the other two threatened to pass him from either side!
It might have looked like Jake had missed them, but I Co In Peace was aware of Jake's movent skill and that he could teleport.
He could repeat his remarkable move of catching an arrow mid-air and nocking it again on his bowstring!
'He'll surely co out either from left or right behind ! Archers play distance! Of course, he will play distance!' I Co In Peace thought as he threw himself forward to cut first through the arrow threatening to go through his skull.
His eyes widened, and so did the crowd.
Jake caught the arrow zooming at I Co In Peace's head two ters before it reached its opponent!
'Idiot! You might have surprised , but my spear's reach is enough to—'
Jake threw his back behind, dropping flat onto his rear.
He was in a skid, yet he hadn't stopped sliding forward. His movent skill wasn't limited only to his foot, after all. He could enter a skid with any part of his body touching the ground!
His touch turned everything into a rink!
dusa's skill was this incredible!
Jake swiftly slid in between I Co In Peace's legs.
He turned around and aid at the man's bottom.
I Co In Peace's perception warned him about the incoming attack.
Yet, everything had been happening so fast that he couldn't react in ti.
The arrow flew forth and deeply lodged in I Co In Peace's hole.
Jake didn't stop at that small victory. He shot more arrows, weaving them around I Co In Peace.
Mana points were the least of his problems as he was assimilated with dusa.
He teleported to his arrows as though having a bottomless well of mana within himself. He caught them, switched their angles, and released them at I Co In Peace with incredible accuracy and speed!
dusa's Assimilation also increased Jake's dexterity a lot.
Moreover, from the very beginning, Jake's strength stat was better than I Co In Peace's.
He could tell that from the first brunt he'd taken from Jake.
Which was why he'd perford his deadly move that was enough to defeat most of his foes!
Jake, however, had endured that and switched the tides of the battle in his favor! Stats aside, Jake's angles were so problematic that I Co In Peace didn't know how to defend himself well against him.
What kind of an archer attacked from below in an open area?!
How could he even draw his bowstring?!
How did he circle around him without any break?!
Those questions only praised Jake's Formless Master Form.
'If he could release more than one arrow at once, I would have already lost this!' I Co In Peace thought. He bet on Jake losing stamina first and slowing down.
That didn't happen.
'Where is he? Why did he stop?' I Co In Peace thought. He looked around, finding no trace of Jake. He even looked below as Jake was such an oddball that it wouldn't have been weird for him to be below him.
A pain squeezed his heart. A bad precognition.
I Co In Peace raised his head up.
Like a crescent black moon, Jake hung in his Formless Soldier Form in the open skies.
He'd released his arrow when his enemy arched his head back.
In a slowed-down mont, I Co In Peace stared at the arrow that he couldn't parry.
It had been shot at such a perfect timing that he would have only made a fool of himself had he tried to slash through that, let alone block it.
'A loss worth one hundred gold coins,' I Co In Peace thought.
The arrow went through his head, severing it off his neck and impaling it on the ground.
His body crumbled.
