Chapter 108 - 107: Paragon VS Ryan!
Excellent archery and strength thought Drake in awe. He tightened his grip on the spear and charged towards Ryan.
The opponent was one who focused on long ranged combat as an Archer. Drake had to get close if he wanted to defeat him.
Ryan did not remain still after firing the three arrows but had instead bolted away trying to gain some distance. Using a special footwork he ran around the grassy plains firing arrow after arrow at Drake.
Ryan Ross was not only fast, but was also able to shoot while running. The arrows were not at all affected by his movement. Unable to trap Ryan Ross with his spear, Drake had to run after Ryan while dodging his arrows.
Drake had a lot of respect for this opponent of his, who had much better footwork than him, and could shoot arrows in all positions when moving with both great strength and accuracy.
Drake had also trained in archery, when he had been training with Queen, so he too could shoot while doing the same and he understood just how much focus was needed for this technique and yet, still bring out maximum output and accuracy.
It wasn’t something you could just pick up on the streets with some change. No, it required dedication.
Drake had also tried practicing his archery after he became a mage. But he could not shoot while moving and controlling his magic power at the same time. He was only able to shoot with magic power when standing still. His accuracy would suffer a lot if he tried to move.
Drake had to admit it. Right now, Ryan Ross was indeed much better than him in archery, so Drake was not in a hurry to end the match. Instead, he started to observe his opponent and learn from him.
The ’Eyes of Order’ paid very close attention to every detail of Ryan’s. Whether be it, his breathing pattern, his footwork, how his muscles tensed and relaxed, how he aimed, how his magic power moved and so on and so forth.
Drakes match had also attracted a lot of peoples attention. After all, Paragon was popular.
