Chereads / Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse / Chapter 16 - The Archer Queen

Chapter 16 - The Archer Queen

The final member of my dream party was an archer, having a reliable ranged DPS is essential for when Mages run out of energy. Having an archer can let Geunmeo and I fight freely without worrying about our flank.

We approached a station which Gwangsin told us had a formidable archer heading it. I dashed ahead to see if anyone was awaiting us but there was no one. We entered the station and were greeted with what seemed to be a gate.

It stood at a whopping 15 feet and had to towers for people to watch from, in the towers were 2 archers. They saw us approaching and called to us, "You four, state your purpose for being here." We look to Gwangsin and gave him a nod, he shoots 2 bolts of lightning at the guards and paralyzes them.

As they hit the floor a bell begins ringing, someone had seen the guards fall over and had sounded an alarm. We hurried through the front gate only to be met with what seemed to be a hundred spear men.

"Freeze, we're taking you to our queen for interrogation, don't try anything funny." How convenient, they were taking us straight to their leader, now we won't have to find her ourselves.

They escort us the stairs of the subway back into the regular streets, they brought us into an abandoned office building and brought us to the top floor. She was waiting for us, sitting in a chair like she was the CEO of a business.

She had a plaque on the desk in front of her which had her name and title.

Gyeong Yun - King of Precision and Rationality

This title seemed fitting for an archer, precision is a very useful thing for an archer to possess, and being the king of it is very impressive. Now it was time to see if she lived up to that title, we broke out of our bindings and charged at her all at once but she just smiled.

She snapped her fingers and the floor opened up beneath us, we fell into a pit of darkness and then the door closed back up. I hit the ground and pulled my self up, it was a giant box surrounded by glass. There were dozens of people watching as we tried to break out.

Gyeong Yun descended from above us on a platform held up by wind magic and began speaking into a microphone, "Hello fair citizens of my domain, as you see below me there is a celebrity, Mr. Yoo Joonghyuk himself!" The room erupted in applause and cheering.

"He has fallen into my trap pit and is unable to escape, can he find a way out with his friends before I get bored and decide to kill them?" The crowd grew silent and Gyeong noticed this, "Come on now people, this is fun!"

Clearly she was the only one who found it fun, I looked around for a way to escape and noticed a small hole in the glass, most likely places there so we don't suffocate.

Little did Gyeong know, this safety measure would be the fall of her game.
