BXBX NOVEL Chapter 47: The White Eagle (2)
All his hard work fell like a domino in mere minutes!
That said, he was a boss and the strongest bear on the tutorial island. He wouldn\'t go against his principles and rules just because a few of his kin had fallen prey to a monkey!
He stomped his way forward, intent on crushing Jake under his paw.
Standing rigid and tall, Jake released the white eagles in his Soldier Form.
He no longer had to concern himself about the distance and accuracy in such close proximity to the boss, so he had given control over his arrows and bow to his muscle memory.
Knowing how planning ahead was important in any battle, Jake sacrificed his focus to that.
On the other hand, Edron noticed the color of the arrows and instantly connected the dots. Those were the objects that had brought down his people!
His hatred surged.
Before the arrows connected, Edron widely but accurately swung his arms, chasing Jake\'s strongest arrows away like flies.
Unconcerned about that, Jake released three more arrows in his most familiar stance before switching to Joker Form, letting the acrobatics take over his legs.
He dodged the first paw sweep, aiming for his head with a jump behind, where he used precious seconds of flight to release two quick arrows.
He hit them into Edron\'s torso because of lower accuracy and higher speed. Edron also did not have the means to defend himself yet because his paws were crossed.
He was pretty slow with his punches.
Jake noticed that weakness, his lips curving up.
Once he touched the ground, Jake turned to the side and ran. He was now much better at shooting arrows while running, so he went for it while the boss followed him with narrowed eyes, pissed.
Only one arrow lodged itself in Edron\'s hide, while the rest had been avoided or blown away.
Edron also could much more easily breach the distance between them because Jake didn\'t run away that far. On his two paws, the bear boss soon got close enough to Jake to once again threaten him with a slap.
Jake, however, knew that he didn\'t have to keep his cards hidden for a surprise attack.
[You have summoned Odin.]
[You have summoned Wukong.]
[You have summoned Ender.]
"Just like we practiced!" Jake shouted.
Odin took his friend\'s front and released his prideful howl, only because Edron was close. Jake taught him that distance was the most important for him.
Even if he liked dancing with his opponents, it wasn\'t a tango.
Odin didn\'t understand this much but was keen enough to figure out that Jake treasured a distance!
Thus, when the opponent was too close to him, he\'d automatically help him by throwing his howl at their enemies!
Edron was put to a halt, then even compelled to take a few steps behind!
"Lovely work, Odin!" Jake sneered and switched to his Soldier Form to hurt the boss!
At the same time, Wukong nimbly ran on his four. He went around the boss\' camp while searching for Jake\'s arrows. Those were his friend\'s precious resources that he needed to fight his enemies with!
He learned what kind of arrows Jake used daily, so Wukong knew what to search for.
His eyes were also keen, so Wukong playfully but keenly hopped off from one corpse to another while picking up arrows with his elongated tail.
He was a monkey, so his tail was already long.
That said, Wukong\'s tail was abnormally long, so by the time he picked up all white arrows, his tail was wrapped around them like a fur quiver! No arrow would ever find a chance to slip off from his grasp!
Jake noticed that Wukong was done with his job.
He went down to his Master Form, allowing him to easily stuff the arrows back into his quiver. Meanwhile, he used Master Form to play around with different angles and assault Edron from various sides while Odin kept him at bay.
"Well done, Wukong," Jake said, earnestly praising his summon.
Wukong smiled in response and ran away. He understood that he was now free and that he could join the battle!
During his first task, he spotted a few thick and handful stones that he had run off to. With those in his hands, Wukong used his hands and tail to hurl them at Edron.
He was like a small catapult!
Lastly, Ender found his perch on Jake\'s shoulder. The broad shoulder was like a tree for him since he was so small that he could sit on Jake\'s index finger.
He loftily stared at Edron, whose struggles were more than obvious now.
The bear boss couldn\'t deal with them, as they were adept at juggling his attention because of their prior training with the bears.
From one side, Jake threatened with the arrows; from another, Odin parted his jaws and bit with his sharp teeth; from behind, Wukong wasn\'t obstructed at all to hit the boss\' back of the head or even ass with heavy stones.
That was when Edron entered the second phase. He climbed onto his four and followed his natural instincts.
His speed increased tenfold as he darted toward Jake! He was faster than a horse or a car!
Baby Ender scoffed, however.
He took flight from Jake\'s shoulder and flew in like a bullet! He scratched off Edron\'s eye with his claws, then flew up and made a U-turn to descend onto the second eye!
This time, however, Edron didn\'t allow him to hurt him! He raised his paw at the baby eagle!
Ender spun around the paw and returned to Jake\'s shoulder, his little head up.
"That\'s my Ender," Jake whispered with bottomless praise. This one needed way more than others, though Odin nowadays demanded much more praise, too.
Baby Ender arched his head back so much he looked now at the forest\'s canopy above them...
Nonetheless, the eagle\'s part allowed Jake and his pets to reorganize themselves. Their positions were now more convenient and comfortable for them to face the bear boss in his second phase.
After some time, Edron fell.
[You have killed The Bear Boss, Edron Lv. 12]
[You hit the tutorial\'s level cap!]
[You can\'t level up!]
[Odin has leveled up!]
[Wukong has leveled up!]
[Ender has leveled up!]
"That\'s it?" Jake whispered.
Despite feeling happy that his pets leveled up, Jake couldn\'t help but express his disappointment at the boss\'s death. It was only because he hadn\'t extracted any trace from him, which Jake believed would give him the last summon.
He was confident that he\'d be able to manage four summons and form a good team with them!
The fourth, however, was not here...
But Jake didn\'t give up on Edron.
For the next few days, he\'d hunt the boss and bully him to oblivion with his summons.
No trace of the legendary existence could have been found, however...
After another unsuccessful hunt, Jake raised his eyes and looked up at The Unconquerable Mountain and its spire piercing the clouds.
"Are you here?" Jake asked before drawing a wide smile.
