NOVEL NEXT Chapter 35: (1)
Whoooooosh!
Whether in the plains or here, the war trumpet was what signaled the beginning of the battle.
“But where are the monsters?”
“Yeah, we don’t see a single one?”
While the calm Panielun archers calmly strung their bows and prepared for the battle, the 7th Special Unit looked around in confusion. Uncle Max, who was watching their reactions, sighed deeply and raised his finger, pointing at the ceiling.
“…They’re above us.”
Kiiiyaaak!
The terrifying roar of monsters resounded just as he finished speaking.
Cautiously approaching the protrusion in the cave and looking up, they saw tens of thousands, no, at least several hundred thousand monsters descending from the high sky.
The number of monsters was so great that the light descending from the sky was blocked, casting darkness over the canyon.
“…Well, this won’t be easy.”
The sight was more thrilling than when hundreds of ballistae shot rocks into the air.
Thanks to that, the tension reached its peak, and calming his pounding heart became difficult.
“So, Kaiyan, will he use the bow?”
Uncle Jeff, who had been quietly observing from the side, pointed at his bow and spoke.
“…Yes, I will. I don’t feel like just defending.”
Calmly taking an arrow out of the quiver on his back and nocking it on the bowstring, his pounding heart began to calm down, and his mind became slightly more composed.
It was his first time using a bow, but perhaps due to the effects of intermediate archery, confidence surged from within.
“I can do this.”
Swoosh!
Thwap! Thwap! Thwap!
A downpour of arrows rained down from the protrusion.
From above, the battle had already begun, and the bodies of monsters falling to the ground and countless arrows littered the earth.
Hundreds, thousands of arrows. The number of arrows clearly showed how intense Panielun was.
“Get ready, everyone.”
As a knight who seemed to be the commander of the 12th position stepped forward and gave the order, the archers extended their bows forward, ready to release arrows at any moment.
There were about 400 archers just at the 12th position.
“As much as the newly appearing ones… they’ll definitely become hedgehogs.”
Kaaahhh!
The approaching monsters’ roars grew closer.
Closing his eyes tightly due to the tension, he opened them and faced the situation.
“Kaaahhh!”
“It’s a Giant Eagle!”
“At least a medium-sized monster…”
The first monster to appear was a Giant Eagle.
Uncle Max had already told him about it, but seeing it in person felt different.
He vaguely imagined a big bird, but just how big could a bird be?
“It’s unbelievably massive.”
The wingspan alone was about 10 meters.
“Shoot! Bring it down!”
Thwap! Thwap! Thwap!
As the commander’s order rang out, more than a hundred arrows were launched toward the monster.
Although there were archers who could shoot even more arrows at once, for the sake of sequential shooting, only the archers in the front row released their arrows.
“Now, how will it respond?”
How exactly would the Giant Eagle block a hundred arrows?
“Kiiiyahhh!”
Whoosh!
“Wind?”
As it flapped its massive wings towards the flying arrows, a gust of wind comparable to a storm was created. The arrows caught in the wind lost their direction and scattered in all directions.
“…That’s quite something.”
To block over a hundred arrows with just one flap.
No matter how much of a flying monster it was, it felt a bit excessive. Blocking the attacks of a hundred soldiers so easily.
“Keep shooting continuously!”
However, to the monster’s dismay, there were still about 300 archers waiting at the position.
Thwap!
“Kiiiyahhh!”
As the front row shot their arrows and took their positions, the back row rose and immediately launched their arrows. This attack was difficult to block, and the Giant Eagle, which had been hit by a hundred arrows, turned into a hedgehog and plummeted to the ground.
“Panielun… it’s interesting.”
Seeing the appearance of an aerial monster for the first time and the archers continuously shooting over a hundred arrows on both sides, it felt amazing and remarkable.
It seemed that Panielun, like Gami-an, would also be a formidable battle.
As the Giant Eagle fell to the ground, countless monsters now rushed toward the 12th position.
“Good. Then it’s my turn.”
Swoosh.
Aiming at the monsters rushing towards the position, he pulled the bowstring for the first time.
He wondered if drawing the bowstring to the end was always this easy, or if it was because of his overflowing power and abilities.
Whatever the reason, pulling the bowstring to the end was not particularly difficult.
“Let’s start with the easy targets.”
Since it was his first arrow-ever shot, he should definitely hit it.
They say the beginning is half the battle, so missing from the start is unacceptable.
Taking a breath, he aimed at the Giant Eagle with the largest size among the monsters rushing toward him.
Ping!
With a crisp sound, the arrow left his hand and quickly flew toward the target.
Phewww!
“Kiiiyayak!”
With the sound of impact, the Giant Eagle let out a scream.
“Is this… called a penetrating shot?”
The arrow’s power exceeded his expectations.
With just one arrow, it pierced halfway through one of the massive bird’s wings.
There was a slight deviation from the desired position, but he felt excited about the successful attack and the incredible power of the bow.
“With this level of power, even in Panielun…”
“Huh…! Kaiyan, how can you shoot so well?”
Uncle Max, who had been watching from the side, asked with a bewildered expression, turning his head and smiling.
“Haha, was it okay? I was unsure since it’s been a while since I last used a bow.”
“No, how can you shoot so well with a bow? Are you sure you’re only 15? Honestly, kid!”
“That’s strange… I’ve heard a lot of people say that I look young. Do I really look that old?”
“Stop it, you brat.”
Although he felt sorry for Uncle Max, he didn’t think it would go so well until he actually shot the bow.
No matter how much preparation he had done, the bow was still a weapon he was using for the first time.
“Let’s shoot again.”
Swoosh.
He pulled the bowstring again, maximizing the sensation he had just felt.
The power remained the same as before, minimizing any deviation.
“Now, let’s use a skill. Breath Control.”
It was the second time he used the Breath Control skill.
Using the skill didn’t make him feel suffocated or anything like that. It just slowed down his breathing a bit compared to usual.
“Kyaaah?”
“Now!”
Ping!
The arrow flew toward the Harpy that had just descended to the 12th position.
If it weren’t for his high agility, the arrow would have been too fast to see.
Phewww!
“…”
What should he say? The Harpy’s head shattered into pieces upon being hit by the arrow.
It was similar to when he had shattered a monster’s head with a powerful downward strike, but there was one difference: it was not a sword but an arrow.
“…Or is it the difference in skills?”
He knew that the power was strong due to his high strength stat, but he didn’t expect to be able to destroy the Harpy’s head itself. How could he accept this terrifying power?
“Well, you’re truly insane!”
the old knight who had approached from the side suddenly exclaimed in admiration. No, it was closer to astonishment.
“To shatter a Harpy’s head with just one arrow. Even for an elite archer, that’s not something they can do! What on earth…”
Even though the archers of the 12th position continued to shoot hundreds of arrows, there was no one but him who had shattered a monster’s head with a single arrow.
That’s why his recent achievement stood out so much.
“Yes, you’re right. Why did the Harpy’s head shatter… Is it supposed to be weak?”
“Well, maybe.”
“Haha…”
If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn’t have worn the bracelet.
He regretted it too late, but it was already done. Thanks to that, he attracted unwanted attention.
“Hmm.”
He felt a strong gaze. He could sense that someone was staring at him intensely.
There were a total of three places where he felt that gaze.
The old knight next to him, Tarien behind him, and finally…
“No, why is he…?”
