Chapter 295: The Oath Kingdom (9)
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.
He avoided the assassin’s thrust, punched his nose, then caught him and slammed him into the ground.
Now that those two were below him, Jake raised his chin and asked them, "To whom do I owe this warm welcome?"
The duo grimaced.
An applause suddenly rang out in the vicinity.
Jake’s hair turned into spikes as goosebumps went through his arms and back. ’A weirdo like Damien is here!’
Turning toward the applause, Jake noticed a man sitting on the debilitating house’s roof. It belonged to no one as it failed to stand upright against the wind.
It wouldn’t be weird for the man to fall at any moment.
He wore a plain shirt and short pants. He didn’t seem like someone who had come to the lawless zone to enter the dungeon or make a deal. His brown hair was as plain as his face.
He smirked. "You’re even wilder in person, Archer! Shush! Shush! I might fall in love with your strength and spy on you from now on! Haha!"
Jake narrowed his eyes. "That’s something I would hate, you know?"
"Don’t you stream anyway? That’s like legal stalking, isn’t it?" The man’s smile widened.
"I don’t think of it this way. And if you knew how much I earned so far, you would change your mind," Jake replied. "Anyway, care to explain what I got myself into? Your nickname is… U.S.A Rabbit."
"Exactly! I’m a rabbit that will reach the moon and spy on the mademoiselle of the moon!" Rabbit said. "You came here not prepared, huh! I like this wild personality of yours! It’s normal to get attacked here like that, you know? Especially for newcomers like you.
You’re also famous now, so those guys recognized the big fish, not wasting any time."
"I see, thanks," Jake said and turned around.
Rabbit hopped off the roof and shouted, "Hey, wait! You’re not the only big fish here! I am the same!"
Turning around, Jake was shocked to see Rabbit skipping in the air like a fairy. He could be said to be like a humanoid rabbit, but his plain features didn’t really create any magic. The game’s cosmetics could only do so much, so Rabbit was unfortunate, sentenced to be a plain guy for life.
"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.
