Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

\'They use wind element so...\'

Taking out my bow from behind my back, I channeled the earth attribute Mana.

(Earth lance)

Three brown arrows materialized on the bow.

The spiders came out of the cave as if the spider webs weren\'t there at all.

Looking around fanatically, they spotted me on the tree.

I was also ready, so when they took their first steps, I released the arrows.

It was fast, but they didn\'t hesitate one bit.

They successfully evaded them by taking a step back.

The arrows struck the earth and slowly melted into the ground.

With no hesitation, they continued to walk forward but...

Three spicks of rocky brown earth shot out from the ground, almost piercing them.

But... they dodged them all, too.

With a heavy wind surrounding their body, they barely managed to slide from their position.

It was surprising, but I didn\'t lose my composure.

Taking out a thick arrow with brown glowing enchantments, I shot it before them.

It wasn\'t near them but in front of them, as if blocking their path of moving forward.

-Skkkkkkkkkkk!

They shouted at once and jumped off from the ground in a futile attempt.

They were more intelligent than normal beasts as they fended off all possible earth-type attacks.

A small smile appeared on my face at this behavior.

(Rock throw)

Six huge rocks shot upwards from where the arrow had landed.

Their yellow eyes widened in surprise as the rocks were about to hit them.

Still airborne, a minor storm of wind appeared around them and they started spinning like a tornado.

All three of them had activated their skill at the same time, so it was more destructive than the single one.

\'Damn! That is the same as my arrows!\' This combination of skills reminded me of my wind enchantment arrows.

The big rocks that were almost half of my height turned into pieces and scattered on the ground when they touched this sharp tornado.

Now, the spiders were enraged.

Still, in the tornado-like skill, they almost flew toward me.

It was fast, too fast, that it didn\'t suit a normal (Red) ranked beast.

[Quickstep]

Without hesitation, I activated my skill and landed as far away from them as possible.

They were on par with a stronger (Orange) ranked beast.

The fight was more difficult than I thought and I wasn\'t fully recovered from the fight with the bunny.

\'This can\'t go for much longer. Let\'s finish this...\'

Taking out three arrows with purple tips, I fired them in different directions.

The spiders didn\'t bother with them and just continued to chase after me.

And... they fell for that.

With a spin, the arrows changed their direction in mid-air and targeted them.

Two of them penetrated their skin, but the last one managed to somehow evade that.

It was a close call for it but; it was safe.

The two spiders that were struck by the poison fell lifeless on the ground after a moment of silence.

The arrows that hit them were rare and also dangerous.

It contained a lethal poison from the pink mushroom.

I didn\'t have many such arrows, as most of the poison from the small mushroom was used in core purification.

It was a very dangerous poison to these non-venomous spiders.

Taking out another such arrow, I backed off.

The last remaining spider was furious, and the killing intent was oozing out of its body.

The green skin was turning red, and it was becoming bigger.

It was hard to believe, but... it was a [Berserk] skill.

That wasn\'t something beasts under (Orange) rank should have.

At least not in normal circumstances.

This was dangerous.

I backed off another three steps and onto the tree.

The green spider with yellow eyes turned into a red spider with green eyes.

It looked more terrifying than the bunny I just faced.

\'Damn...\'

This was an unexpected situation.

Before it could finish its transformation, I shot the arrow, hoping it might not be able to block it.

The arrow flew towards it with a slight wind cutting sound and... hit it?

The arrow hit the spider, and its eyes started turning white.

In the middle of its half transformation, it fell to the ground, lifeless.

This was... anti-climatic.

The fight that might have stretched out till night had ended in a quick fall.

Spiders were dead, and their house was now... mine.

The last one was still strange but, it wasn\'t time to think about those things.

After some rest and drinking a potion on the tree, I jumped down to the ground.

The scattered blood, shattered ground, and the dead bodies lying on the ground looked disgusting as well as awful.

Shaking my head, I walked toward the first two spiders that I killed.

Checking their bodies and finding nothing, I walked towards the other one.

Its half-transformed red body was bigger and there was something inside that cave that helped them grow like this.

Cutting its body and again, finding nothing... I walked towards the cave.

The webs were still there and looking closely, there was still the same wind around them.

Taking out a simple arrow from my bag, I touched the web with the arrow.

"Wow..." A surprised expression appeared on my face when the arrow was cut in half, even without touching the web.

This was a good protective measure, but there was not enough space to pass through it for me.

The spiders, strangely, just slipped through this as if this never existed but, I wasn\'t like them.

Taking a step back, I put my hand on the ground.

I was still exhausted, but there was enough strength to cast a (tier-2) spell.

Gathering and concentrating earth elemental Mana, I focused on the part where the webs were.

They only covered the area on the entrance so I could wipe them out with a single spell as well as put up a different wall.

(Earth wall)

The same wall I made at my previous temporary house but, this one was different.

Unlike last time, when I needed the crystal for the spell, I could do it by myself this time.

The quality and refinement of the spell were greater in comparison to the last one.

The ground shook and an earthly brown light started coming out of the same spot where the web wall was.

Taking a few steps back, I watched as the rock wall completely crushed the wind wall and the spider webs.

This was slow, and it took twenty seconds for the spell to finish.

It replaced the wind web wall with a rocky earth wall.

I was exhausted, low on Mana, low on stamina, and also low on arrows.

If there was unexpectedly something inside there, it would mean my death.

But...

"Oh heart, my [Dynamic heart]~. I\'m betting my life on you, so please be right..."

My heart wasn\'t beating fast like usual when I was in danger, which meant this place was safe.

It might be wrong but... I can\'t go anywhere else.

It would be almost sunset and finding somewhere this good would be a miracle.

Crawling inside the cave by the small gap I left, I looked inside it.

The cave wasn\'t that dark, as there was some glowing grass at the back.

There was also a big spider web in the right corner of the cave.

They decorated some balls of webs on the left side and it looked like there was something inside them.

The cave was batter than my previous cave and there was also much more space for training.

There wasn\'t much in the cave but as I looked closely at it with my [Mystic eyes], I spotted some insects on the web at the right.

Fly, mosquitos, some different unknown bugs, and... a butterfly.

I looked at the butterfly and the butterfly with a strange pure white body looked at me as if it was alive.
