Unlike wooden arrows, although their range and accuracy drop, their destructive power is unusually high... but their destructive power is not unusual.

I feel a cold sweat pouring down my back.

I honestly don't know if the black flower shield I'm using can be destroyed by a metal arrow from the front.However, even if the shield is safe, my body can't take it anymore.Without a doubt, they are pushed into their shields, and if they are unlucky, they can penetrate their bodies.

When I look up at Amu, there is no change in her expression on her face, and she only feels that she is willing to kill me.

This is conjecture, but... I think this Amu has killed countless people so far.That's how many people there are, even if they kill someone, they don't get any emotions.Otherwise, I don't think we can take the other person's life without emotion.

I don't know what's going on, but... maybe I can't go back to being a normal person with normal emotions anymore.Completely corrupted… looks like it to me.

Grrrrr!

"Ngh!!"

Amu turned again a metal arrow.

Anyway, I ran up the stairs trying to get close enough to reach the attack.

I didn't think about defending myself.I don't know if a shield will help, and I'll concentrate all my nerves on evading it.

Amu takes aim at me and moves the bow slightly.

Ten meters to the top of the bell tower.As we get this close, we need to figure out when Amu is going to fire the arrow and take the evasive action first.

"Ngh!!"

Although the expression is quite difficult to read, I noticed that my shoulder muscles were moving twitching, and I jumped to the opposite side.

Tan!

Boohoo!

Shh, shh, shh, shh!

"Grrrr!"

A metal arrow that blows up the black anti-sand and defensive magic hung by the master in the air and sweeps over the left shoulder.

Sharp pain runs.

Tan!

Still, I kick the landed stairs again and jump up.

Pasch!

I put my hand on the top of the bell tower, pulled up, and reached directly in front of Amu.

It seems that metal arrows cannot be released in a row, and they do not fly immediately.

I immediately took out the antidote that Suratan had made from my waist bag and drank it all at once.I don't know if it was poisoned, but it's too dangerous to get poisoned here.If you have time to detoxify, you should do so no matter what else you put down.

Whether it was good or it was not poisoned in the first place, the effect never appeared.However, I don't have time to treat the wound, and I feel the blood dripping from the cut skin.

………………

………………

When the antidote was swallowed, Amu's bow ran out of arrows.

Me and Amu face each other at the top of the bell tower.

Neither I nor Amu uttered any words.

Strong tense and deadly feeling of tingling on the skin.

The distance between me and Amu is already a few meters.My attack arrived in one pair, and Amu and the metal arrows were at a confident distance.

Focus your strength on your left arm with a shield that is already numb and complaining of pain.

Fighting may or may not end in an instant.

There were differences in ability, surrounding conditions, advantages and disadvantages, and my husband and I fought under basically unfavorable conditions.

When I survived many such battles, I realized something.

That is, in every battle, there is a battlefield that must not be missed.

Even if it is a battle that starts and ends in a few seconds, if you can't grasp the battlefield, it may change into a battle of several hours.

I think it's like a flow in battle…

I think it's easier to tell when it's a long fight.There are moments when the attack and defense are repeated like torrents, and there are moments when the opponent is seen gently and without waves.Among such changes, there are important points that must not be missed in order to seize victory.If we don't seize it, we'll be drawn to the whirlpool of battle and soon driven to death... there's such a thing.

Of course, since it is a situation of killing each other, integration is an important point, but there are points that can be recovered even if you can't grasp it, and points that are not.

And now that Amu and I are reading each other's movements, I feel that this is the point.

In other words, those who win the next battle will be the winners, and those who miss the battle will be the losers... the dead.

Initially, I thought it would be advantageous if I reached the bell tower and approached it, but it was a mistake.

In addition to the power of the arrow, which can be described as unusual, the speed of rapid fire, the poison painted on the arrow, and the metal arrow.Compensated by several abilities, the strength of Amu is still far from perfectly advantageous, having approached several meters.

It's really strong, not just because it's a foreigner, but simply because it's an Amu technique that confirms its strength.I think that the bow itself can be pulled if it has the physical ability of the transferor, but if it shoots an arrow accurately, I think that physical ability alone is impossible.In fact, a bow is a weapon that is difficult to handle, and it is not something that can be handled overnight.

In Master's story, the physical ability of the transferor is the character... before he came to our world?It was almost the same as before.And that physical ability seems to reflect what we've been doing in the simulated world of games.If you train your speed like Suratan, your body will develop like that.In other words, it's hard to suddenly change weapons or change your fighting style once you're in our world.In particular, because the bow is a very special weapon, the physical abilities required are also quite specially balanced.

If I can't change my weapon, I'll keep using my bow.

And if you could come to this world and use the technology up to this point, you might have actually held the bow in the other world.

Master says that when you come here, you will get a body with much higher physical abilities than your original physical abilities.In other words, a strong force or a strong body.Just by getting it, there will be a lot more things you can do, but it seems that what you could not do technically in the other world will not suddenly be able to come here.

Master also learned the sword technique itself in the other world, so he could only use it in this world, but he could only use it if he hadn't learned it.

Perhaps Amu's proficiency in bowing and his terrifyingly exceptional skill are intertwined with the skill he learned in the other world.

I hear that the world of your mistress was more developed than this one.I think it is an easy example of the science I have been taught recently.

Even if we know such knowledge and technology, we are much stronger than if we didn't know it.But Amu's strength doesn't seem to be the only one.

In addition to having skills, I feel the weight of repetitive practice and continuous practice.

I don't think it's the kind of thing that the bandits feel... but I think a lot has happened since they came to our world.Because I have eyes like that.

I have no intention of being interested in that kind of thing, and even if I ask you in detail, what I do will not change, and what Amu does will not change.Kill the opponent with all your might. That's all.

Given Amu's prowess, I can't say that I'm more advantageous, but if I can get this close to my bow-user opponent, I'm definitely more advantageous in terms of distance.

After the bow is shot, it will take some time before the next attack.With my little sword, you can attack with just two or three swings on the spot, but you need to take the arrow out of the quiver, turn it, pull it, and release it.No matter how good Amu is, she can't release an arrow without doing this.That's why archers are weak in close combat.If you say so, it's faster to slash with your sword than to release an arrow! That is to say.

But I don't think Amu is within reason.When they got so close, ordinary archers became impatient, pulled out their swords, and fled.But Amu hooks a metal arrow to the string, calmly observing my actions.

Even if I get this close, I have no choice but to have the confidence to take me down.

The moment the tension between me and Amu gradually increased and reached its peak. It moves almost simultaneously.

The top of the bell tower is rectangular in shape, with four thick pillars at each vertex.It is about two meters wide at the foot, so you can walk around the whole collection.

And between me and Amu, that is, directly above the central blowout part that follows from below, a bell made of large, thick metal that makes me want to ask what kind of cauldron it will be made of.Is it about six or seven meters in diameter?The bottom of the bell is a few centimeters above my head, and Amu's face is well visible.

The bell is attached to the inside of the roof above it, and as far as I can see, it is probably a magic device for ringing the bell.

Amu and I stood on the side of the scaffold facing each other and ran to the right at the same time.

BUOOOO!

It is about seventy meters above the ground. No walls, no blowing.Since there is no other building that blocks the wind, the wind hits me and Amu directly.

Once again, it's a terrifying ability to shoot so accurately in a situation like this.

The length of one side of the scaffolding is about ten meters.I mean, the distance between me and Amu is a little over six meters.I could jump to the scaffolding opposite me, even if I had a shadow tackle attached to my shield.However, that was a prerequisite for Amu not to shoot an arrow.

As for me, I wanted to avoid a single shot and immediately jump and attack with a small tattoo.But Amu doesn't shoot arrows because she knows it.If I move to the right, Amu moves to the right, and if I move to the left, I move to the left, keeping a constant distance from each other.

If I jump out to close the arrow, I can see that I will be shot through before I can stretch the shadow tentacle.We have no choice but to invite Amu to make a mistake.

We'll have to put pressure on Amu little by little.That said, in this situation, if you put your hand in the waist bag, it will be my gap and I can't use the item.The Eye of the Sigil needed my concentration, so I couldn't use it in battle yet.

I got lost in the assailant.

The two of us are gurgling around the top of the bell tower, but I can't really see the gap.With a speed like Slatan's, if you had an absolute strength like Master's, you'd be thinking... but you're driving that idea out of your head.

I'm the only one fighting right now.I have to think about what I can do and what I can't do, and how to lure the other person out of the gap.

There are only a few things I can do, but from what I can do, I will choose something in my head that seems to make a gap between the opponents.

First of all, what the attacker lacks now is that the opponent is using a flying tool, so if you can seal it off... or if you can use an equally powerful flying tool, you can solve this reversal state.

As a method, how about taking out and throwing items while being prepared to open gaps?

No... As soon as I put my right hand in my hip bag, Amu probably releases an arrow.Defensive magic has blown away, and I don't think I can play that intense metal arrow with my left arm. This proposal is rejected.

Master taught you how to use the Tenryu Sword Technique, its steps, and its limping legs to come up to you all at once.

No. Even though my legs are fast, if I move linearly close to six meters, the Amu will be able to react and I'm not sure I can avoid the arrows.

This was also rejected.

Now, let's dare to strike an arrow and use the soft sword technique to somehow flow...?

It was true that Amu's arrows were terrifyingly powerful.But in the end, it was no different from a spear attack.If I thought I'd only parry Amu's thrust, which has an incredibly long spear.....

Honestly, I don't have much confidence in parrying.That's why we avoided parrying the metal arrows that flew up the bell tower.

But I don't think it's impossible...

If I'm this close, I can see Amu's fine behavior.You should be able to see the slight movement of your gaze and muscles.It's a very difficult thing, and it's about 50/50 if it works.

I had to bet on that....

No. There's still work to be done.A magic tool mounted on a shield made by my mistress.A magic item that activates the shadow tentacle. It can be activated simply by applying magic power.With this.....

No, that's difficult... The Shadow Tentacle itself is almost devastating, and it's a lot slower than Amu and I are moving.I don't think it's possible to let Amu create a gap with such magic.

But that's when you attack with a shadow tentacle, or when you try to get in the way of shackles or shots.There may be other uses.

Think of things that you can use in the surrounding situation in combination with a shadow tentacle in your head.

When I aimed at Amu, I wrapped a shadow tackle around the pillar in the back, and suddenly jumped into it with the force of attraction.

Now, wrap it around the suspended axis of the bell, dodge the arrow upward, and attack as you fall toward Amu... no.Then it's too late. Even if you avoid the first shot, the second shot will fly in.Then there was no point in avoiding it.

One after the other, I wondered if I could use the thought that had disappeared, and I turned my thoughts around at a high speed.

And find a breakthrough.

I don't know if it will work, and if it fails, I will definitely be shot through by Amu's arrow.Even if you didn't die from one shot, if you were deprived of mobility, you wouldn't be able to avoid the second shot.In other words, if you fail, you will die in 10 out of 10, not in 9 out of 10.

But it was always the same.If you fail, you die. Such a thing can even be taken for granted to me at the earliest.I'm not scared right now.

Zaah!

I make up my mind and stop my legs.

Amy stops her legs when she sees it.

I don't think I'm going to release an arrow from Amu.After all, I have no choice but to move.Then I will definitely take care of it.

I poured my magic power into a magic tool attached to my shield.

"Huh?!"

Amu draws his bow and turns to me.I saw a black tentacle that suddenly appeared and thought it would be attacked.But the arrows didn't release. I had an incredible concentration and situational judgment.

Normally, you would want to shoot an arrow before you get hit, but when you see the movement of the tentacles, you stop the arrow from firing.It was determined that the tentacles could not directly kill themselves.

It would have been easier if you had let go of the arrow, but I don't think so.

Then I'll have to show you my plan.

I wrap the tip of my shadow tentacle around my arm.

Amu tries to read my intentions, doesn't miss a move, and keeps his eyes peeled while pulling the bow.

That's good.

………………

………………

Wait for my move, Amu.

"...... haa!"

Boom!!

I wave my left arm wide and throw my shield at Amu.

Although it is difficult to say that it is a throwing weapon, the side of the shield has a sharp shape, and if it hits you, you can't pull the bow.

The shield I threw is flying in an orbit that, from Amu's point of view, collides with an arrow.

"Ngh!!"

However, even though it is a small shield, it has a considerable weight, and it does not hit the amu. By scrambling the body to the side, the amu avoids the shield that flew over.

At that moment, I thoughtfully pulled the shadow tackle that was connected to my left arm.

A strong shadow tackle pulls back the shield.

"Ah!?"

Zaah!

However, Amu realized my intentions at the last moment, and by moving her body further to the side, she avoided folded shields.A shield that sweeps the coat around my neck and turns back.

Now that I'm losing my shield, I'm the best in Amu's eyes.In order to manipulate the shield, he tries to shoot a reliable shot at me, who is not in an evasive position.

At that moment.

GAGOOOOOOOOOO!!

The loud sound of the tympanic membrane is about to tear, and you can feel the sound waves in your body.

"Ngh!!"

Boohoo!!

Amu releases an arrow. The explosion that occurred just before that slightly drove me crazy.

With that much explosion, my vision would have shaken.At least, I swayed.

The shield that was returning was not aimed at Amu, but at the suspended bell.

The flashballs I used.Until I met Master, I didn't know that light was a means of attack, and I didn't know that it was an attack using sound balls.

Explosions can sometimes be used as a means of attack.

How much sound can be heard when the bell is struck with a shield, whether it is something that Amu misses her aim, and whether it can be timed according to the point just before the bell is struck...

There was a lot of uncertainty, and the timing was pretty stupid, but I achieved all of them, and I grabbed the flow.

Amu's fired arrows missed my aim and flew through my thighs.

I don't have time to take the antidote, and I don't have time to distort my face in pain.

He stepped across the ground with almost no other sounds heard from his tinnitus.
