Haux whimpered in pain; he fell backward before his dagger touched Archie. Even though he was only a few inches away, it happened so fast that he didn't notice anything, and suddenly, a slash wound made an impression on his chest. "AH! Damn it. What the heck is this? It really hurts."
The wound was quite deep, his clothes soaked with blood when Haux tried to stand up again.
“Haux! Ch.”
Roga rushes to help Haux, but Ouga screams to stop him. "You stupid! Watch out!" Roga noticed the intervention in short of an eye, his footsteps had stopped, and that's when he realized there was a trajectory of a crescent moon trying to slit his body. Roga was adept at dodging it, and Ouga used his greatsword to protect against similar attacks.
The three slashes of [Traversty
[Fleet Foot] passively increases Ouga's movement speed and agility, making him faster and more agile overall. [Sprint] allows him to run forward quickly, increasing his speed and agility.Using those skills, Ouga managed to catch up with Archie's position and attacked using [Agile Strike]; this allowed him to perform quick and precise attacks that increased his movement speed in no time.All three are skills used as boosters, and never before has an enemy survived after being hit by such a deadly attack.Too bad Archie is one step further from them. Archie knew he should keep his distance from Ouga instead of constantly trying to dodge his lethal attacks.Not satisfied yet, Ouga cast his fourth skill, [Whirlwind], rotating his greatsword, increasing its movement speed an
The moonlight lighted the night. The battle area had been completely leveled to the ground, with nothing left. A large hole was formed in that place, still hot and smoking, leaving no ashes from the burned victims.Archie has beaten all members of Moneybags, and to destroy the evidence, he did it indiscriminately. Whatever it is, now that the task has been completed, in this way, the Power of the Moneybags will be reduced one by one. It was fine to face their crooks, but separating the troublesome higher-ups was the easiest way to undermine the enemy. Moreover, there were other aims of the ambush this time.“Oi, oi, oi. Isn't this too much? Even though you've gotten better at the grimoire doesn't mean you have to burn the entire forest, right? Plus, you didn't notice one person had escaped.”"Not that I
Another flabbergast news, which is also rarely known, is that Layla Whitehall and Luca Royal Redmond from the empire also received the Redcaste recommendation invitations from the university. Bringing Luca's name into the conversation was only necessary to see how the nobles would respond to one of the emperor's sons.As a result, the nobles think some behind-the-scenes play earned Luca the recommendation. The reason is that Unifine Magic University, the central originating organization, must give the Redcaste guidance to only some. But considering that Luca was of imperial blood, it was inevitable that there would be suspicious speculations like that going around.Archie sat beside Layla, smiling at the men near her, saying, 'get away from my lady' that only the male royals
The host, who identified himself as Patrick Rothfuss, suddenly took over the show. The guards and officers there were speechless, they only glanced pitifully at the young master regretting their incompetence in maintaining the festival properly. Patrick comes from a well-to-do noble Rothfuss family. The reason why Layla was worried and never expected Patrick to come was that Patrick was obsessed with her. He often approached Layla when she was still active at university until he forced her into the same group as him when there was a dungeon conquest mission. Even though Zachary had tried to give refusal and hinder the intentions of the Rothfuss family to approach their daughter, it didn't help much. Near the stage, Archie saw several male nobles who had previously fl
Finished with the yellow balloons, Patrick popped another from his palm, then tossed one to each person on the stage. A venial throw that is easy to catch. The thrown marble emitted light cathed and turned into a bow.Archie was shocked by the magic he saw. It was the first time someone could do this kind of magic. Moreover, the glowing bow seemed to suck Archie's mana when he held it."That is my skill, the bow of light, by using it you can shoot arrows of light as long as you channel mana into it," explained Patrick. He summoned his own bow of light and shot an arrow upward. His movement was so quick that it was hard to follow, and in a matter of seconds, the arrow of light hit the balloon and shattered it."That is how it is! Don't worry about balloons or arrows to use, both will be ready in a few moments, really
Archie has seen it all. The first four participants get a range of scores between the number of thirty. They didn't miss a single shot, but that figure was taken after calculating the time it took to fire their next shot. The sixth participant was a special case as he used a bow skill that released three arrows at once. However, the time lag for the next shot is the same.It took a bit longer, even if it was a split second, but Archie could feel the difference after experiencing it himself.The second shot, the arrow of light curved downwards before hitting the balloon, as if it lacked thrust in its flight.In public, Archie is known to use a sword and is proficient in sword martial arts. Some viewers who are aware of that fact will think Archie just had bad luck getting the target shooting challenge.
Marquis Lio Klengel came down from the stage through the back while covering his face from everyone. Even so, Archie knew very well the man was upset about something. It wasn't just because of a trivial matter like losing the challenge match just now. It’s like another, more immense regret was hidden between them.Two other participants stepped forward—Earl Benjamin Kunst and Count Tobi Felgiebel—drawing the spears from their back and waist. Stand confidently in front of the audience while playing with their weapons in style.It was common for people to cheer even at the sight of something quite embarrassing for Archie.“Since there are only five participants left with only two types of weapons, will our greatest adventurer take on both of them at once or want to try it one on one?”
There is still time. If Archie could end their game, there would still be time for the peak of the festival to end as scheduled.Between the audience, in the backstage, and outside the main square, the citizens of Krakal and Alian could only watch, especially the operators behind the stage—they couldn't stand against Patrick, who took over their festival.There are many things that Archie has to take care of, his family, his citizens, his city, and the place that shelters them today. This world was a different world from what he used to live in. With different ethics, different laws, and even different laws of nature, Archie can't stay in his former self-awareness."I'll show you how to properly conquer dungeons!"Archie's speech reached the back row of the audienc
