Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Ronna already had such a separate place in my heart, but we hadn\'t properly had any interaction yet.

I could definitely feel her, but even she knew she was of no help to me right now... I was too weak to even manifest her after all.

She was far more awesome for a weak child like me. I was still too weak and undeserving of her.

So, for now, Asta was everything.

The bow I was using right now was also special and his name is Neem.

He is also one of my nine core bows and something I have actively practiced with when training with my master.

This one, unlike the others, is an old grandpa. Just like that ancient willow tree.

It was also made from a root of an ancient tree, so maybe the Ego it had was similar to the creating material instead of the creator\'s desired one.

A natural Ego. Something similar to Ronna.

Asta was a special one that my master specifically created... or tried to create, at least.

Asta was her unintentional masterpiece that she regarded as high as our tower and some very special artifacts, like the communication divine artifact on the flower garden floor.

The weapon that she wanted to make was something that could perfectly adapt to the situation and learn constantly by itself, but, in the process, she ended up creating something more than the highest-level artifact and lower than a divine artifact.

Actually, it would be better to say that independently, Asta is the weakest divine weapon there could be.

It was just a normal spear that had many strong abilities which were so powerful and unstable that she had to seal most of her abilities.

And those sealed abilities are [Law]. Something that only the weapon\'s master, meaning only I, had the ability to unseal for a small duration.

I also can\'t break more than one Law at once or the powers would clash with each other, creating more mess than needed.

And the duration I could maintain the broken Laws totally depended on my strength.

And currently, that time limit was ten minutes.

There were a total of twelve Laws and for now, I could only break the first two laws. Gravitation and Acceleration.

I knew about the other things but, well, that wasn\'t important right now.

As soon as my attack on mages was successful and they were deprived of their Mana, I knew this specific bunch would be more interested in studying the magic shield surrounding the golden arrow Asta, so it was good for me.

And these knights who boasted physical strength more than anything were more interested in a physical fight rather than this Mana thing and barrier.

They were definitely surprised by this sudden after-effect of using Neem, but that was it.

There was no chaos in this organized bunch of knights and they still had many of their weapons on them, even after throwing those countless weapons at me.

They all had their eyes already locked on me and I knew many of them had even sketched out a perfect plan, attack path, movement pattern, and attack method for me.

The bow I was using right now was absurdly big in their eyes and it would be definitely heavy for anyone other than me when lifting but, I was different.

This wasn\'t the biggest bow I had. This one was the second greatest.

The first one resembled a harp. And that one was definitely a bow, despite its appearance as a musical instrument.

That aside, the thing in front of my eyes was a lot of knights with their sharp and blunt weapons aimed at me and I had nothing but the arrows for them.

I knew lady Nissa was surprised by the arrow, barrier, and some other stuff but, she was using some really bad magic to \'read\' and decipher those things.

The magic itself was good, and it was an elven spell developed by pure blood like her, so it was no doubt good. But... it was only at the level of \'good\'.

It was good, but I knew just from a look with my \'blue\' eyes that this spell could be perfected if she tried.

It was amazing magic that can read, understand, and recreate a mental image of the Magic around Asta, Asta herself, and the barrier.

That was actually a good spell from the knowledge I had, and she really had worked hard on that.

But...

"(: Despell)"

\'She will be surprised but, it is better than seeing her eyes getting even more damaged and bloody.

She was a beautiful lady, so there was no need for her to go through that just to understand this level of magic.

She might be reaching her full potential, but there definitely was room for some improvement.

I know she will be able to perfect that already good spell, so for now...

A white magic circle appeared before my right eye, a Solnova spell that directly attacked the \'known\' core of the spell, and canceled the spell.

\'Lady Niss, I know you are interested in those spells, but we can learn from each other some other time.\'

The blue magic circles before her eyes shattered and the eyes that had blood vines returned to normal. There was still that drop of blood on her fair white skin, but it was alright.

I would collect that blood drop if I can... don\'t get me wrong. A pure elf\'s blood is actually a precious enchantment material.

Well, maybe some other time.

\'For now...\'

The eyes of these knights were furious, with crazy smiles on their faces and excitement filling their hearts.

\'I can\'t do physical close combat with these many people.

Then… well, I will make sure to heal you all so, sorry for now.\'

My eyes sharpened, the magic circle before my eye had vanished, the grip on my bow increased, and I scanned all of these knights with my normal red eyes.

I had already read their weak points after watching them train here these past few days, so it was somewhat easier.

\'3... no, 6 arrows at a time. They are gathered in a bunch and in a group of similar weapon users, so their weaknesses are somewhat the same.\'

Legs, thighs, shoulders, eyes, hands, and abdomen…

\'Ok... let\'s rain some arrows~!\'

Taking a cool deep breath, preparing my hands, gathering a good amount of Mana for some hundred spells, channeling light attribute Mana on my bow, pulling back the strong bowstring, aligning my hand, shoulder, and leg muscles... I summoned the (Light arrows).

\'Short range multifire: Early raindrops.\'

-Xiu.

-Xiu. Xiu.

-Xiu. Xiu. Xiu.

This was faster than the time I used something like this against that instructor of the adventurer association.

The arrows of light moved at a speed even their eyes couldn\'t follow and the arrows moved at a speed that in their eyes, in the line of fire the arrows moved, from the perspective of the two captains, it must have seemed like the arrows aren\'t that fast and can be avoided.

Just as the initial slow raindrops, the arrows moved at a speed and way that even before they could react, their bodies gave up, and before they noticed, they were on the ground…

-Thud.

-Thud. Thud.

-Thud. Thud. Thud.

Tall men with strong bodies, fine muscles, good power, fair experience, and strong weapons in their hands fell to the ground, their eyes still wide open and locked on me.

The (Light arrow) I was using was a modified version of normal light arrows which are the same as a (tier-1) Mana materialization.

But these spells were at the level of (tier-2) spells. Though the weakest (time-2) spells.

They were some of my fastest spells that I can use for a long time in very large quantities.

They don\'t even take 3MP and my Mana recovery is quite fast with just the golden fruit, Asta, Ronna, and the bow with me, so, as long as my stamina allows it, I can even use these low-level spells infinitely.

When someone is hit by it, it causes actual pain to normal humans and other species, but it\'s life-threatening for demons, dark creatures, demonic beasts, and the undead.

I fired these at their most unguarded and weakest spots, so it not only worked as a pressure point but also as a lethal weakness of the opponents.

They all will understand this weakness in the future and work on it. They were smart, after all.

So... the arrows continued, and they just fell to the ground, and it continued until the last one of them was on the ground, grasping the parts hit by the arrows.

It was relatively easy until the last one fell and I thought it was my win and I can go earlier than I had thought after getting the letter, but… the knight captain had a different reaction than just the normal administration like lady Niss.

I knew I will be fighting the knights, and the captains were here just to observe me, but... I was hoping it didn\'t come to this point.

\'Was he impressed by my archery? Maybe he saw the flawless perfection in my form... well, damn.\'

[[ *His eyes say it all. They are almost like you when you are excited. Huhuhu.* ]]

\'That\'s why I\'m more worried...\'

Knight\'s captain, sir Melor, the supervisor of the test, had a fire burning in his eyes right now. Something I didn\'t want to see but... it\'s too late from the looks of it.

His heart was dead set on having a spar with me.

I was focused on taking down these knights so I didn\'t notice it earlier but after finishing this when I glanced back at the two of them, a defeated elf who seemed to have fallen into deep thinking after I dispelled her magic and the knight captain burning with a fighting spirit.

I could have done something to prevent this situation if I had seen it earlier, but now was definitely too late.

\'This fight with knights finished quite quickly, but if I fight with him, which is definitely inevitable… it will take a while.\'

It won\'t be a quick match I had with Carla or Rein and my practice spars.

He is a high-ranking knight with the potential to reach the realm of kings and the right-hand man of my grandpa.

I know he has observed grandpa closely and trained with all his whole being, all his life.

He is also an awesome blade user, something slightly different from the traditional double-edged sword.

His own swordsmanship is quite unique too, something focused on defending rather than powerful attacks.

It... will definitely be fun, no doubt about that but, let\'s see what happens.

[[ "Haaa... Celes, can you please tell Anna I will have lunch by myself here?" ]]

[[ Okey~! ]]
