BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79: Odin's Arrow (1)
Jake was after his classes and decided to ditch his homework to venture into The Legend Enigma\'s World.
He didn\'t have time to pass a staff to Wukong and sync Odin\'s summoning with his archery.
Those were important things that took priority over his homework—at least, that was Jake\'s excuse.
Therefore, Wukong materialized himself second.
Unlike Odin, Wukong calmly held to Jake\'s left arm, looking at him serenely. He was surely Jake\'s calmest and the most kind companion.
In comparison, Odin had been triggered by Ender so much that he ran in circles around Jake, howling. He already wanted to sync with Jake\'s archery, get his own skill, and show everyone who was the boss here.
That was his destiny! He was the boss!
Jake laughed, "I have a present for you, Wukong. This is the staff I\'ve created."
After taking the wooden staff into his little hands, Wukong used his legs to keep himself latched to Jake. His entire attention, however, fell onto the wooden staff from which he felt something calling to him.
It was a short, wooden staff that matched Wukong\'s size.
In fact, after Jake rented Viktor\'s stuff to make this staff with his common sense, the older man pointed out that it would have been difficult to find a weapon matching Wukong\'s size.
That only served to increase Jake\'s ego.
Upon seeing Jake\'s smirk, Viktor got pissed and added something from himself to the staff.
Smiling, Jake sat down and stared at the baby monkey while snuggling up Odin to his chest. It only took Jake a few seconds to calm Odin, whose eyes closed upon receiving a comfortable petting.
He said, "I\'ve made small grooves in the middle of this staff as a handle. It\'s smooth and easy to hold to, I believe. Viktor also added metal pieces to the staff\'s edges, increasing the weapon\'s damage. It\'s only a temporary one until I learn the artisan subclass, but it should be enough for early levels. I made it myself because I want you to follow my steps and craft your items yourself.
What do you think about it?"
Wukong had been nodding to each of Jake\'s comments. The last words, however, peeled his eyes off the staff and compelled him to look at him.
Learning new stuff from Jake and getting new skills was fun, so Jake\'s idea stirred Wukong\'s heart.
Just like usual, he nodded at him, wearing a broad and excited smile.
Jake patted his head, "Do you like it?"
Wukong nodded.
"Great," Jake smiled and stood up, "Well, I guess I will call the rest, and all of you can rest."
That didn\'t go like Jake thought.
Medusa curled up in the pocket on his shirt\'s chest. Ender didn\'t seem to want to leave his usual perch on Jake\'s shoulder, either.
Only Wukong smiled at them and distanced himself to practice a few movements with the staff.
It wouldn\'t trigger his cooldown as he would dance. The said battle dance didn\'t look like a novice at all. It was as though Wukong had been borrowing knowledge from his legendary existence or perhaps name.
Jake confirmed his suspicions, \'The game developers must have inspired themselves for real.\'
That was when Odin barked.
He wanted to sync with Jake\'s archery already!
Ender\'s eyes also prompted him to mention it.
Jake chuckled, "Yes, yes. Let\'s do it, Odin. I also want to see what you\'re about to cook up."
The duo looked into each other\'s eyes.
Their legendary existences had been triggered by their bond and desires.
[Call Of The Wolf Boss has synced with your archery class!]
[Call Of The Wolf Boss has unlocked a new feature.]
[Wolf Boss\' Arrow(Legendary)(Active Skill—100 MP)—Turn your summon into a tattoo that can be applied to any type of arrow. Once the arrow gets marked, it will receive the following bonuses—Odin\'s Thunder(Common) and higher damage output against wolves. Odin\'s Summoning restrictions apply to this skill.]
[Odin\'s Thunder(Common)—attach the highly penetrative force of Odin\'s existence into your arrow. Odin\'s Thunder\'s damage is increased by 100% upon inflicting a critical strike! (Damage—300% Of Your Bow and Arrow\'s attack damage).]
[Odin\'s Thunder has been able to take over 5% of mana dwelling within your arrow.]
[Odin\'s Thunder\'s damage has been increased. Damage(301%)]
Jake stood shocked.
Ender\'s expression was no longer Pathetique as he stared at the marked arrow.
Even Medusa peeked out from Jake\'s pocket and looked at the arrow.
Wukong stopped his training and turned around.
Odin\'s damage was overwhelming. His arrow was tattooed with a wolf whose jaw was so open and terrifying that it appeared he\'d be able to devour everything and everyone on its path, leaving terror in its wake.
Since every tattoo was cool, it obviously wasn\'t an appearance that gathered everyone\'s attention.
The power brimming within Jake\'s arrow was just tremendous.
It was the entire 301% of his strength!
Jake\'s stats were absurd, too. If he were to get a better arrow and a bow, the damage would increase even more!
This was such a powerful skill that the saying—the best defense is the best offense—made sense.
Jake thought, \'Just 5% of mana has been used… it\'s too low. It can\'t be just because of the arrow\'s design… meaning Odin\'s name plays a role here.\'
It didn\'t take a genius to understand that Odin\'s name didn\'t match his destiny.
Jake hadn\'t thought much about it when naming him.
He came up with Odin because it was a strong name.
It was the name of one of the deities from his world.
Ender, the legendary eagle he had fought and spoken with, told him that Jake was courting death by naming his wolf with this name. It meant that a legendary trace of Odin must have been lost in this world!
\'Wouldn\'t it mean that the legendary existences were also humans? Or there\'s more to this name?\' Jake thought, then bit his lips as he realized he didn\'t know the crucial element, \'What\'s Odin\'s true name?\'
