Episode 36: The Battle of the Suspended World (2)

Sylvia's dagger and Charles' bow collide.

The battle in this world was overwhelmingly unfavourable to Charles. No matter how fast arrows, strong arrows, or special arrows you shoot, you stop just five meters away from yourself.

The countermeasure left to her is to use the bow as a weapon.

A normal bow can't even counteract a dagger that lacks power. But what she uses is a 'Divine Bow'. Equipment created by the power of the labyrinth.

Charles' unleashed arrows are special and can also be impacted by magic when unleashed.

That's why I needed a 'never break' bow.

"You're too tough."

The Sylvia dagger we were still meeting shattered more.

The dagger we were meeting was a high-ranking dagger of something that wasn't the highest ranking dagger.

Still, with a dagger that's just sturdy, you lose.

"Aren't you willing to surrender?

"Don't joke. It's already coming to a point where it only ends with one death or another."

Withdrawal is also impossible while it remains suspended.

Even if you surrender and dump your weapon, there's no guarantee you'll miss it.

"If I could defeat you, I would defeat you. I was changing my policy in the direction of defeating you. So here's what we can fight for."

Defeating a Labyrinth family member can be fatal damage.

It is more difficult for the Lord and his companions to defeat a family connected in the depths of their souls than to reduce their power.

"You don't think you can come close to me?

"No?

"... I'll correct that mistake for you"

A ten-color arrow appears and pierces the ground as if it had fallen from above around Charles.

When those arrows emit a strong light of each color for only a moment, they stretch forward in front of Charles and mix together.

The mixed result was a rainbow arrow.

Furthermore, the rainbow arrow disappears to be sucked into Charles' right hand.

"I'm the Archer"

Charles swings his arrowless bow down to Sylvia, who defends him with a dagger. Now the highest dagger she has. Turns out it doesn't work with regular daggers anymore.

Daggers and bows collide.

Two people who are not confident in each other's arm strength.

As a result, we will meet at close range.

But it was Charles who broke that equilibrium. Point your open right hand toward Sylvia as you hit the bow with your left hand.

There's nothing in that hand.

……

However, Sylvia activates her skills with unspeakable anxiety.

Shortly afterwards, a rainbow arrow rushes through where Sylvia's head was, and when it lands on the ground just behind her, it causes an explosion and a shockwave strikes the two of them.

Charles knew in advance that a shock wave would occur.

Sylvia then waves her dagger down toward Charles, who she holds as she turns behind Charles.

- Quinn!

Successfully prevent daggers thanks to the realization just before.

But the bow is soaking out of Charles' hand at the price of his defense, and he's dancing in the air.

Charles jumps back to get away from Sylvia.

Withdrawal from close range. Even if Charles moves out first, they won't let Sylvia go a long way if she continues right away.

However, Sylvia chose to throw the knife removed from the storage ring.

Five knives thrown head to Charles.

Meanwhile, I can't afford it from Charles, who expected me to be pursued.

Now we have to head straight to retrieve the bow.

So point your right hand flattened. A rainbow arrow appears from the center of the flat hand and diffuses and bounces off five knives when it is released to fly out.

Charles, who escapes the knife, raises his hand and catches the bow that has fallen.

As he bent at the same time, Sylvia's dagger passed over his head.

"An arrow that doesn't need a bow,"

I have succeeded in doing the dagger, but I am very defenseless in my bowed condition.

Charles' arrows vary in effect depending on the color. It is also possible to produce powerful arrows by combining them, but rainbow arrows can be allowed to exert all the effects they wanted.

Besides, I can fly without having to shoot.

With this method of firing, you can also shoot through an opponent at close range.

"It's a hassle to change arrows to suit the situation. Then you'd better have a few effects with one."

Charles' strength lies in producing a special arrow over his skill as an archer.

"I'm an alchemist before I'm a bowman"

The thought is manifested in the skill.

"But it doesn't change that you're the one who uses a bow to attack. How do we fight in this world?

"It's hard to shoot an arrow at your opponent"

Even if it was shot at precisely, Sylvia has a [missing wall].

He slipped through the shock that hit him earlier, and even through Charles' body, which was in front of him, and moved behind him.

It makes no sense if you don't hit any powerful attacks.

"But that's not gonna last forever."

"Exactly."

"So keep guessing"

I can let go of my bow and spread my fingers between my hands.

When Charles' magic overflows from his hands, a rainbow arrow is released from ten fingertips. Moreover, there is a yarn-like object connected to the Charles of what is ultra-fine in the arrow buttocks, so that the movement of the arrows can be controlled.

An arrow that flies at will.

Usually, arrows away from your hand are just skills that will allow you to operate, but in the stopping world, you will be able to exert your power as an original arrow thanks to being connected to Charles who can move.

Ten arrows flying endlessly across the horizon pierce Sylvia's body and pierce the ground.

But none of that has hit Sylvia.

"Glad you have such a handy ability to slip through."

"Really. I can only really thank your father for leaving me with this skill."

Skills may be passed down between parents and children.

However, they don't inherit it it for sure, they just acquire the same skills because their bodies and minds are similar. It was never left by the father to his daughter.

Still, since I gained the same skills as my father, [out of the wall] had become a connection between me and my father.

Avoid the arrows you can avoid on your own, only the arrows you can't really avoid [through the wall].

"So how about this?

Arrows dare fall around Sylvia.

It is not an arrow intended to pierce. An explosion occurs the moment it falls to the ground, and when the flames wind up, it traps Sylvia.

Apply [wall drain] to the entire body.

It can travel unaffected by flames and heat, but Sylvia's magic is also depleted in the meantime.

"Well, I'll have it worn down like this"

Sylvia drains her magic just to protect herself.

"Then that's cool."

Sylvia rushes out of the flames toward Charles.

Charles' manipulative arrows fall from the top, but he runs through to leave all the arrows behind.

"So how about this!?

Arrows loom four from the front and four from the back, one from the left and the right.

"No problem."

Go straight without slowing down.

An arrow approaching from the front approaches Sylvia, but transmits his body and leaves him.

Jump up gently and stick out your dagger away from the arrow.

"... Huh!?

A dagger cuts Charles' cheek with his body tilted.

As it lands behind Charles, he kicks Charles' back and pushes forward.

Easy kick to push out. However, I pushed forward to get out in front of my unleashed arrow.

"I don't understand"

An arrow pops out of Charles' back. But Charles' body has no scratches whatsoever.

"The arrow was built with my magic. It won't hurt my body."

"I targeted a suicide bomber, didn't it make sense"

Once again, an arrow is directed towards Sylvia.

Sylvia also repeatedly pulls enough arrows before dodging and launching an attack on Charles.

"What are you up to...?

Charles could not find meaning in Sylvia's actions.

"Buy time......? But I can't believe I just bought time..."

"Not exactly."

……

Sylvia, who was approaching me while I was being deprived of consciousness by thought, waves down her dagger.

Shortly before hitting Charles' forehead, four arrows flying from the right play and fly up, but Sylvia jumps and catches the rotating dagger.

"I'm so glad I'm in charge of your stalling."

"Maybe you're alerting me to rainbow arrows?

"Ranged attacks cease to make sense in this stopped world. There's no way I'm letting you go wild, even in a world where you're free to attack away."

Charles might be able to handle it some way.

It was the same with Melissa who thought the same thing, preventing Tual from turning to support the fight.

"It doesn't matter at the end of the day what happens to our battle. If we believed in each other, let us wish the Lord victory."

"This one can also interfere with your intervention in the hope or fulfillment"
