Supreme Archer: Taking The Game's Weakest Class To The Top

Chapter 250: The International Tournament (10)

Hussar entered the portal and returned to his team's tower.

He slightly raised his eyes to stare at the four people hanging on the black chains. A crimson aura glossed the tethers of darkness, stripping off the caught players from all possible means of escape.

Those chains protruded from the first floor's ceiling.

Hussar was familiar with them.

It was Meredith's magic.

"So Eastern True Dragons are eliminated," Hussar said.

His teammate, Hubo, approached him. "Where are Weis and Triple M?"

"Weis died… you didn't get any notification?" Hussar asked.

Hubo shook his head. "No. What about Triple M? Did he leave you behind?"

"You can think of him as a dead man. Clowns ganged up on him and are bullying him as we speak now," Hussar replied without hiding his displeasure. He didn't like such acts.

Hubo sighed.

The other teammate chimed in, "He had it coming. Didn't he go at Joker in the hotel?" He wielded a spear that rested on his shoulder. "He should have stayed back in his hotel room."

Hussar shifted his eyes to his spearman. "He should have stayed in the tower. Hubo would have done a much better job… because of Triple M, only I returned alone. At least I got three records and good intel. Shiro and her team challenged Clowns. Joker killed Shiro, and his spearman friend defeated his counterpart."

"Oh?" The Blue Union's spearman patted his shoulder with his weapon.

Hussar added. "The ninja ran away. But he's in for a surprise, I guess."

"Impossible! Shiro would never lose to Joker!" an Eastern True Dragon Guild man screamed at Hussar.

Hussar arched his head back.

He shrugged. "I guess you don't get any notification from outside the tower. She died. I could see that she left wounds on Joker, but he returned to fight others while she was nowhere to be seen. Is she the type to run away like a ninja man? I don't think so from what she did on the theater's scene."

"How… could we… get obliterated… by two people?!" the man shouted back.

Eastern True Dragons believed in their individual prowess more than others. While Shiro was sent to the record team to defeat everyone and hoard as many records as possible, the rest of her team entered the raid teleport.

They were randomly sent to another tower.

This tower happened to be The Blue Union's Tower.

On the first floor, the four splendid individuals fought against a single entity—The Meredith. It wasn't even her floor, but it didn't matter in the long run.

Her chain magic overwhelmed the four enemy players despite the abundance of skills thrown at her. She didn't break into sweat as she maneuvered her chains to defeat all her opponents and catch them in her chains.

She then hung them on the ceiling to make them into a chandelier.

Meredith wasn't much of a sadist. She did that because her black chains could feed on any lifeforms. She could strengthen her black chains into a single-use skill whose power depended on the stats she absorbed from others.

Those stats from defeated players of the same level were splendid resources.

"You! It wasn't just two people. Casual Clown's I Come In Peace defeated your spearman! Give respect where respect is due, Chinese dude!" The Blue Union's spearman, Glenn, pointed his spear at the talkative captive and glowered at him. He wouldn't let his a fellow spearman player get no achievement!

The more achievements his enemies had, the tastier the victory!

That, too, mattered to Glenn.

"I am Japanese! Japanese! You hear me?!"

"That's all he's mad about now," Glenn cracked a smile. "LOL! I hear you well! My bad, okay?!"

"That was rude, bro," Hussar said.

"You heard that Russian man!"

A vein popped on Hussar's temple. "YOU CALL ME RUSSIAN?! I'M POLISH! POLE! GET HIM DOWN! I WILL GIVE HIM A LANGUAGE LESSON!"

Glenn spread his arms. "Ah, there we are, another dude called our Polish boy a Russian. That's the easiest way to piss off them, you know, Japanese dude? I know well 'cause I played with enough Polish players! Haha!"

"MEREDITH! GIVE ME HIM FOR A WHILE!"

Glenn caught his stomach as he laughed aloud, "He's about to join the Clowns' Gang! Haha! Cough! Meredith is up on the seventh floor. She's studying the tower's interior and looking out for clues."

Hussar calmed down. "So… she's gone?"

"Yeah. She's gone. Unless an enemy appears, I doubt anyone could really bring her down here. I mean, you could try snoring in her presence like Triple M, but that's like cutting ties all in for once. I'd rather not, tho! She's beautiful, has a powerful presence and magic, and has a chance to become a top-game celebrity!

I want to be friends with her and then boast of having fought beside her later to my homies!" Glenn thumbs upped Hussar.

Hussar nodded.

He'd rather not cut ties with Meredith as well.

"What might be hidden in this tower, though?" Hussar asked.

Glenn waved his hand, "Beats me. I'm the type that skips plot progression to get to the juicy battle content. She's the opposite and will rummage every land searching for clues or storyline."

"I'd be nice from game masters to pass down a few clues. Like a reward for coming so far," Hussar said.

"I agree," Glenn nodded. He agreed wholeheartedly because he didn't have to search for those clues! He'd someone who would share them with him!

Glenn didn't know that Meredith no longer wanted to share her passion with them.

Someone else had taken that spot.

"Hold his arms! I have had enough of his face!" Jake screamed.

His friends landed heavily on Triple M's arms, pinning him to the ground. His swollen eyes and cheeks made it difficult to see what was happening around him, but he still could catch Jake standing over him with a bow drawn.

Jake released the arrow, finishing off the man.

"That was a good warm-up!" Shaw shouted, hiding that the three of them had gone too far.

Arthur acted clueless as well. "Agreed."

Jake could sense that something off was between him.

Well, their bullying was quite out of their character.

Jake didn't want to be such a bully, but he could see that Triple M was a typical rascal. Who normally would go at him in the hotel and even oppress him with the broader build?

It was funny to Jake because he had pushed Triple M away in real life, meaning he wasn't that weaker than him despite the difference in height and build.

Jake's muscles were lean and toned, and he much preferred that to bulging and huge muscle armor akin to that of a bodybuilder, which Triple M exhibited.

'That Hussar man used the legendary trace. He swiftly defeated the healer and the mage before escaping with the portal. We couldn't secure those three records, even if we focused on him… it might be an excuse. I targeted Triple M because of my feelings, but the legendary traces aren't normal. Hussar is a real deal.' Jake thought.

He turned around.

The last team on the scene copped out from fighting with them.

It was Veni Vidi Vici's team, whose mage and a swordsman were stronger than Ogun's tank and a club user. These two suffered a loss at Veni Vidi Vici's hands, dropping three records!

It was enough to get an instant route back.

"Aren't we… on the worse end?" Shaw asked.

Jake and Arthur didn't reply to him. Their faces were straight.

It was true, though.

There were six teams on the record battleground.

Two victorious teams brought three records to their towers each.

Casual Clowns, however, had their hands on two records.

Jake clenched his hands, "NINJA!"

Shaw furiously impaled his spear on the ground. "DRAGON!"

Arthur coughed, "We can't get a teleport… and other teams are gone."

A heavy realization fell on three heads.

While the other two teams had a happy and instant trip back to their towers, the three would have to return to their tower on foot. It'd not be a short voyage as well.

Jake fished out a shot.

[Your stats have been upgraded.]

"It's all my fault," Jake said.

Arthur shook his head. "Had I defeated the ninja man, we would have been in our tower by now. I take the blame."

"Will you two taking the blame get us to the tower? Nah! So let's get moving!" Shaw glanced over his shoulder at his friends before staring forward and marching.

Jake said, "You're going the wrong way."

"Wait? Seriously?!" Shaw grew redder and quickly returned to his friends' side.

Arthur looked at the minimap. "Our tower is in this direction. The map is all black because we have never been here before. We can only see the mark of our tower. There's a chance we will stumble upon someone else's tower. What are we doing in this situation?"

The three of them looked at each other.

Jake raised his hand. "My decision put us in this situation. I'll leave it to you two."

"Since I'm also to take the blame for our predicament, it's up to Shaw what we will do." Arthur declared his statement.

Shaw stared at them with narrowed eyes. "You guys know I will make the worst decision! Whatever! The chances of us stumbling upon the other team's tower are close to zero anyway! Let's go!"

An hour later, the three clowns stood before a tower.

A foreign tower.

"…"

"…"

"Your command, Mr. Shaw?"
