382 It had been a long time since I used up all the arrows in my quiver, but there was nothing to worry about. All you have to do is pick up the fallen arrows you see along the way.
The arrows fired by the archers of the Holy Corps were slightly different in size from the arrows he usually used, but that was no obstacle to him.
The arrow fired in this way flew like lightning over a very long distance, then deflected again at close range according to the target’s movement and pierced a vital point.
A distance of over 2 km. From a distance where nothing would be visible to the ordinary eye, Bourdelle saw the enemy falling. Of course, before I could check it, I was already firing the next arrow.
It was an incredible skill that only he could perform on an entire continent, but he was busy swearing in his mind while showing such an amazing performance.
‘Fuck shit shit!’
This was because the current situation, where you were running along the castle wall and only shooting enemies from a far away distance rather than the enemies piled up in front of you, was miserable.
This was closer to a distress signal than a sniper attack. It was a desperate struggle in the hope that the party who realized it was his arrow would go to rescue the queen.
Crackling.
‘I never thought I would be so helpless.’
By awakening his Auror status, he acquired abilities that were unimaginable to a criminal.
Aura-Sight.
A trait for archers that allows them to observe ultra-long distances in detail as if they were seeing them right in front of them, and to adjust the trajectory of an arrow fired from a long distance at least once.
In addition, he was equipped with the Sniping Shot, a class 4 longbow artifact that Golem Master Clayton had made and handed over to him before being dispatched here, and his confidence was literally sky-high. He became convinced that there would no longer be anyone who would show superior combat skills than him over long distances.
But that confidence was only half true. Although he recorded amazing results when he was at a distance, his arrows were completely useless against the same superhuman who was right in front of him.
‘No matter how much…’
Even considering the difference in level, it was a level of self-destruction. Perhaps the fact that the trait Aura Sight, which has amazing long-distance efficiency, drastically reduced the Auror’s physical strengthening effect seemed to have played a major role.
However, even if I analyzed the reasons and comforted myself in that way, my current feeling of self-destruction did not go away.
In the end, he was running away, leaving behind his master’s wife on the battlefield.
‘No, this is the best I can do right now.’
If he had been a loyal knight, he would have chosen to be imprisoned on the spot. No, I wouldn’t have thought of any other way. Because that was the characteristic of the knights.
But he came from a hunter background. And hunters always aim at protecting themselves and hunting efficiency.
Boshin aside, if hunting is considered a war, his current actions are exactly in line with efficiency.
As I organized my mind like that, my anxiously beating heart gradually calmed down.
But at that moment.
“I got you, you rat!”
Bourdel felt the fur on his entire body stand on end as he heard a creepy voice coming from right behind him.
‘Ugh!’
It was a godsend that he immediately rolled to the side.
An eerie, sharp red aura passed overhead, and Egon Miller with a distorted expression appeared behind it.
The brown-haired man, whose helmet had been blown off, had his blue eyes glaring mischievously, as if to indicate that the battle just before had been fierce.
Bourdel’s heart sank at that sight.
‘Why is Iza here already? Then the queen…!?’
Even in the midst of the worst crisis, his eyes rolled behind him, perhaps out of a sense of duty.
However, the walls of Novienne, one of the world’s greatest cities, were several kilometers long on one side, so the queen’s safety was not immediately visible.
That made him even more urgent.
“Tch!”
I hurriedly tried to keep my rolling posture, but the arrow I fired was split in half by the red blade coming down on my head.
I pictured in my mind the sight of the sword that had split the arrow cutting into my own body.
The moment when Bourdelle closes his eyes tightly, unable to face the death he faces.
Wow!
Chachaechaeng!
With the sudden binge, I felt the murderous feeling that had been attacking me disappear.
‘hmm!?’
The response was quick.
What Bourdel sees in his wide-open eyes is an orange aura fighting against a scary red blade.
The orange aura flooding all around was crushed by the red aura, but they managed to maintain an even balance by pouring out a huge amount.
In the meantime, the young man whose complexion was becoming increasingly pale, who had saved him from death, looked at him and screamed.
“Sister-in-law!?”
A young man screaming without realizing his disguised identity.
Knowing the urgency in that voice, Bourdelle shouted back with the best hope he could think of.
“We don’t know yet!”
Even as he said that, he did not forget to shoot an arrow at Egon.
Paaang!
“joy!”
However, Egon, who easily deflected Bourdel’s arrow, instead counterattacked.
Ronian blocks him from the front.
Wow!
It was clearly felt that Ronian’s spirit was distorted by the shock.
‘Tsk. I was only a hindrance.’
Bourdelle was biting his lip out of shame, but the voice of his friend in his ear further incited the feeling of shame.
“Call Lia! Now!!”
Fortunately, despite his miserable feelings, Bourdelle did not forget what he had to do.
Even to him, Ronian, with his pale complexion, did not look normal. Even if you are normal, the tough opponent will be that sword of destruction.
Bourdelle gritted his teeth and threw himself away.
“Hold on just a little longer, Little Confucius!”
He also had no time to worry about his disguised identity. All he does is run on the castle wall, making full use of the ghost shadow maneuvering technique he learned from McLane’s most powerful swordsman.
Soon, his field of vision expanded to aurasight, and a mage who was dealing with the empire’s elites from the western wall came into view.
‘Please look here!’
The red arrows fired in haste carried his earnest heart and flew towards the battlefield.
Did it reach your heart?
I thought I could see blood spattering from the side of the red-armored enemy, and then I saw Victoria, disguised as Aaron, gliding south with the strange sound of the castle wall.
‘done!’
For a moment, I cheered internally.
He too immediately turned around and pulled his bowstring towards the battlefield where the little Confucius was in danger.
‘At this distance, I’m not a weak point.’
However, even that intention was thwarted by the imperial knights rushing in front of them.
“die!”
Numerous knights fearlessly charged head-on, perhaps not recognizing the auspicious red light shining from the tips of their arrows.
Unless you are an idiot who doesn’t recognize the aura on the arrow, you are looked down on even though you are a superhuman.
That sight stimulated Bourdel’s sense of inferiority hidden deep in his heart.
‘These!’
– You have a talent for bowing? So what? That’s just a weapon only hunters use.
– Wow, you guessed it surprisingly well. You must have been born with this kind of skill in swordsmanship. The knife skills are completely poor and kkeuk.
-Why do force users use bows? Brother, are you X God?
He was born in a hunter’s village as the son of a hunter and was praised for his bright talent. But to the outside world, his talent was nothing more than a curious feat.
To him, who awakened the Force just through training for a hunter, the knights of the world said, ‘If you had learned swordsmanship early, you would have succeeded’, or ‘Why can’t you practice swordsmanship?’ ‘It’s half a penny.’ They used to throw insults like, etc.
What was even more infuriating was that after experiencing countless times against the powerful men of the world as a mercenary and hunter, the insult felt true.
In fact, even after becoming an intermediate force user or higher and using the force on a bow and arrow, the people he could easily deal with were only ordinary knights. Even he was often accused of being a shaman or using cowardly means.
The world’s prejudice was enough to discourage the mountain genius who wanted to show off his talent, make a name for himself in the world, and enjoy wealth and fame.
That’s why he gave up on making a name for himself in the human world.
And what he chose instead was the path of a witch hunter. He wanted to become a legend among hunters through the hunting and archery skills he learned from a young age.
A compromise he managed to find between his desire to become famous and reality. However, the longing for a dream that could not be achieved was always boiling in his heart.
That’s why he easily succumbed to the advice of a nobleman named Patrick McLane.
– Please use your talents for my son. My son is not stingy with giving to talented people, so whatever you desire, you will get it and more.
In fact, what I have gained since following him was so great that it cannot be expressed in material terms.
He embarked on a path to becoming a superman that he himself could not have dared to take, and was even assured of receiving the title of nobleman in the future.
On the other hand, what he repaid.
‘…Nothing.’
Bourdelle knew himself well.
I don’t have the noble loyalty of a knight.
But I wanted to repay the favor I received. Because that was the bare minimum he thought.
Then…. ”
There is no time to get caught up
in the likes of you…” !
The will and anger moved the unconscious mind, and arrows loaded with aura burning like flames were shot forward one after another.
Shashashak.
Bub bub buk.
“100 million!”
“Ahh!”
“What arrows…”
Arrows piercing knights armed with plate armor one after another.
The knight who was charging in front fell down without even being able to scream, with more than ten holes in his entire body.
The entire front was devastated in an instant.
After seeing that terrible scene, the steps of those who tried to run froze in an instant.
“Huh…”
Bourdelle let out the breath he had been holding and looked blankly at his hand, which had shot out dozens of arrows in an instant.
It wasn’t like a grand realization that transcended the realm.
A variation of the Aura Sight trait used only for sniping.
He just instinctively put a small amount of force into the arrows scattered on the battlefield, automatically pulled them using remote control, loaded them into the arrow, and fired them continuously.
However, if we focused only on speed without worrying about the power of each arrow, we were able to achieve truly amazing speeds.
Thanks to this, he realized one thing he had forgotten.
‘Since when did I aim for a fatal blow?’
Even a missed arrow is enough to kill a person. There is no need to think about piercing the defense by putting effort into each shot.
In addition, no matter how great the sword is, if dozens of arrows are fired at rapid fire at close range, it will not be able to deflect all the arrows one by one. As a superhuman archer, there was no way to deal with superhumans at close range.
“What the fuck!”
Bourdelle let out a curse in joy and ran toward the eastern wall again, ignoring the frozen enemies.
On the way, picking up arrows scattered everywhere and filling the quiver was just a bonus.
“Why are you here!? What about the queen!?”
On the way, he encountered Victoria, who seemed to be moving on the stone of the castle wall, and was bruised, but Bourdelle did not hesitate to talk for a long time and pointed to the battlefield where red and orange lights were mixing and destroying the surrounding area.
“Save little Confucius first!”
“yes?!”
“Catch him! Me and Little Confucius will put an end to it!”
Victoria had already finished talking about the most efficient magic she could use on the battlefield.
It was an embarrassingly reckless order, but Victoria could only nod her head at the unknown force. There was none.
Meanwhile, Bourdelle jumped in, gnashing his teeth at the enemy who had brought him despair twice in a short period of time. Around him, about a hundred arrows were floating around him.
First, one shot.
Bang!
“You rat!”
The guy glances back.
His hands and feet have slowed down a bit, but the little Confucius is still at a disadvantage. I
can’t figure out how he does it, but even though he blocks the guy’s single sword by stacking ‘five’ swords, he still stumbles.
Bourdel again. Two arrows were fired.
Target!
Bang!
“I’ll kill you first!”
The target took the bait. The enemy
bounced off the little ball and rushed forward.
“Now!”
Bourdelle shouted and stood tall on the spot. He concentrated all his attention only on ‘hand speed’. And through remote control, arrows that were caught in a frantic movement were poured out to the front even faster.
Pabababababak.
A rain of arrows created by an individual pouring down in an instant.
Bourdel I saw the blue eyes of the guy who was running at me double in size. Moreover, in that situation, the guy’s body ‘jumped’ and even froze for a moment.
‘Great timing!’
Bourdelle cheered inwardly.
“Aaaah!”
The moment Egon Miller let out a scream-like cheer.
A rain of red arrows, red thunderbolts, and scarlet swords poured down at once.
Aaaaaaaaa!
A loud roar suddenly filled the surrounding area. It caught all eyes.
“Ouch…”
“…You damn bastard.”
Bourdelle looked at the enemy who had thrust his sword right in front of his nose with tired eyes. Even though he fired about 30 arrows in a short period of time, he only hit one target. Only five bullets hit his shoulder and limbs.
The good news was that, taking advantage of his attack, the small Confucius sword pierced his heart from behind. My
heart chilled as I thought that it would have been difficult if it weren’t for Victoria’s magic.
” Hehehe. This is me….”
Suddenly.
The head was cut off without even leaving a last word.
“I have defeated Egon Miller!”
The moment the little Confucius shouted while holding the severed head on his sword, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed in real time. The change could be felt in Bourdelle’s skin.
And then.
Quaaaaang!
An explosion that erupted from somewhere in the middle of the eastern castle wall caught their attention.
– Queen?
Ronian and Bourdelle Victoria’s eyes met in the air, and soon the three superhumans ‘s body rushed like lightning towards the epicenter of the binge drinking.
