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

Chapter 44: Leveling Up Summons And Paving The Path (1)

Jake dropped onto the ground.

Fighting against Ender had been so demanding and taxing that he couldn't help but fall on his bottom. Wiping the sweat from his face, he closed his eyes.

A few minutes later, Jake opened his game system. He was pleasantly surprised to see that his perception skill had improved a grade and that the battle against the legendary boss had strained his muscles so much that he had received a few stat points for his strength and dexterity.

The legendary trace of Ender rested in his inventory as well. It was like a slice of darkness with one white star, decently representing Ender's origins.

Without wasting a second, Jake bonded the trace to himself.

[You have bonded the legendary trace to yourself.]

A little black light coalesced before him. It was so small that Jake momentarily thought he'd received an egg from the legendary trace.

Once it burst into particles, however, Jake extended his hand and caught a baby eagle, allowing him to fall onto his palm.

The third summon was so little that his white beak was like a grain. He couldn't open his eyes yet, twitching on Jake's palm as though it was too cold for him.

Jake smiled, "I hope you can understand me. I'm Archer, but to you, I'm Jake. Your name is Ender."

Hearing the introduction, the baby eagle stopped shivering. It was difficult to tell whether he liked the name, but Jake believed he had made a good choice by naming him after Ender.

By naming his second summon, Wukong, he had already crossed over to the other side. He had become the misfit, which aligned well with his goals.

Names meant more than Jake had expected, so he became careful with them.

Ender abruptly turned around and faced the legendary boss' carcass. Of course, he couldn't see him yet because he was too young, but he must have felt his presence and perhaps some connection.

After a few seconds of silence, Ender suddenly released a thin streak of darkness that stretched toward the corpse. That streak sank into the dead body, forming a unique connection that Ender pridefully leveraged.

As his owner, Jake could see what his third summon had done.

[Ender has stolen the knowledge and skills of the legendary boss.]

[He can unlock the new gains by leveling up.]

'Does it mean Ender will be able to talk like his predecessor?' Jake thought. For some reason, he couldn't see what kind of knowledge Ender had stolen, which intrigued him.

He'd talk about it with Richard soon.

"I expected nothing less from you, Ender," Jake praised his third summon.

Ender tried to screech with pride but failed.

Still, Jake smiled at him and showered him with attention for the remainder of his time. The eagle's feathers were unnaturally cold and soft, causing Jake to feel them with a palpable interest that even Ender could sense.

The newborn's pride skyrocketed.

After a short moment of bonding, Ender disappeared.

It could have been said that their first meeting went smoothly.

It was no surprise because Jake genuinely wanted to be friends with his pets, and they were too young to understand what was happening.

"You must have dropped at least one item, Ender," Jake whispered as he approached the boss's corpse. Even though he had extracted the legendary trace from him, Jake would despise Ender if he were to leave only his carcass behind.

While ransacking Ender in search of the drop, Jake was blessed enough to find two items—a dark book and, surprisingly, a white crystal hidden beneath the eagle's belly.

Jake took them out with a great interest.

[Torrent Of Darkness(Skill Book)(Epic)—a magic book containing a common darkness skill. It contains a trace of the legendary boss' darkness, causing its grade to be exceptionally high. A perfect book for anyone wanting to start the path of darkness!]

[Requirements: 50 INT, Mage Class, Lv. 10]

'It should fetch me some good sum for the beginning of my journey on the mainland! Well done, Ender!' Jake hid his disappointment of not getting any archer skills with the prospect of selling this book for a few gold coins, which should significantly enable him at the start of the mainland's adventure.

Jake believed he would be ready for a drop that wouldn't line up with his class… but the disappointment was immeasurable! If he had received a skill such as darkness arrows, he would have been jumping with joy!

That said, it was the beauty of MMOs, wasn't it?

Jake checked the second item—the white crystal.

[The Eagle's Eye(Resource)(Gem)(Legendary)]

His heart throbbed with excitement, washing off the prior disappointment. It was a resource he could craft with on the mainland upon receiving the proper craftsman skills!

Jake wouldn't stop on making the wooden bows, after all. He wanted to craft his equipment with many more resources and items and tailor them to his liking and skills!

The resource's name had given Jake an idea of how he could use it.

Jake confirmed his suspicions by raising it up and looking at the carcass through the white crystal! "This item contains the eagle's eye for real! I will be able to make a sight with it!"

The modern bows were equipped with so many additions, including a sight! While they didn't look like the cool and fantasy-like dragon bows from other games and novels, the modern design had its own charm.

Jake aimed to combine those two charms and create the equipment and weapon representing him—The Archer.

How could he stop on the wooden bows?

"Nice!" Jake exclaimed, clenching his hands from happiness. Ender was truly the legendary boss that enabled him in more ways than one!

If he could only respawn, Jake would have returned tomorrow to have another clash with him!

Alas, the legendary existences couldn't return back to life…

Taking control of his excitement, Jake calmed down and took the eagle's carcass to his base.

He would ask the newbie helper about him and whether they could make anything great out of it…
