Episode 93: Ghosts of the Ancestors (4)
Each arrow Adonai shot was an extremely terrifying weapon.
But there was a grip that snatched it and crushed it.
“Stay away.”
Aquila. She stepped in front of her and blocked Bikir and Ayen.
Returning the eight death knights blocking her to the tomb where they should have been, she was now trying to confront Adonai, the ultimate peak of Balak.
Adonai, who led the old era, and Aquila, who led the new era.
These two twin peaks, each at the pinnacle of archery, are now face-to-face, transcending time.
Bikir swallowed dry saliva.
The battle between two absolute strongmen, master-class aura users who are touching the highest realm, is not something you can see often.
Even in the age of destruction, when the world was turned upside down every single day, the life and death decisions of the strong were not common.
“… … What will happen?”
“It’s not even worth asking.”
Iyen, who was next to him, answered Vikir’s question.
She opened her mouth with a firm expression.
“My mother never loses.”
Iyen’s words show firm trust.
However, the reality started to go the opposite way.
Kararak-
Aquila raised a large bow and aimed it at the front.
The thick bowstring was pulled by tremendous tension, and within a short time, a powerful sniper was ejected.
Kwak!
Aquila carried a silver aura and shot Adonai.
The hard solid aura flew like an arrow made of silver and pierced the black aura radiating from Adonai’s body.
[…] … .]
Adonai also immediately counterattacked.
His fighting instincts were so sharp that they were firmly embedded in his dead body.
… Whoop!
The black aura emanating from Adonai’s body exploded like steam.
The surrounding ground cracked apart, and thick sulfur gas spewed out from the cracks, and the black aura emanating from Adonai’s body flowed black as if it were flames from hell.
They stretched up to the sky riding a tornado, and were soon being cast as dark clouds in the vast sky.
Toward this dense dark cloud, Aquila exploded silver flashes.
The silver flash and the black trail devour each other fiercely.
It was so fast that not only Iyen, a beginner in graduate school, but even Bikir, a senior graduate student, couldn’t keep up with his eyes.
“Aquila-sama’s quick talk is comparable to Adonai-sama’s.”
“Because my mother’s bow skills are the best in the world. It’s not just limited to hit rates.”
Literally, the two living myths were properly opening the eyes of later warriors.
Aquila and Adonai engage in a battle without any errors.
It is basic to know the direction and movement of the opponent and shoot an arrow in advance in a predicted path, and advanced techniques such as using the airflow of the opponent’s arrow in reverse to shoot a rotational shot or creating a parabola so that the arrow pops out from the top or side comes out casually
… bang!
As Aquila bowed her head, a black arrow flew in and snapped the log behind her.
… pop!
As soon as Adonai leaps upwards, a silver arrow pierces the sandbar he is standing on, causing a tsunami of sand in all directions.
A one-on-one offensive and defensive battle.
… … However, as time passed, it was Aquila who was pushed back.
Spot!
An arrow shot by Adonai grazed Aquila’s side. The black arrows were slowly and step by step tightening Aquila’s breath.
But it’s not because of the difference between the two.
This is because Aquila needed a limited tool called an arrow, and Adonai did not need that.
Aquila, like Adonai, also often condensed the aura without arrows, but it consumed too much mana and could not be used except in a really urgent moment.
On the other hand, Adonai fires solid aura arrows with 100% purity thanks to the energy of the negative dimension drawn from hell.
even.
“… … Even the direction of the wind is unfavorable.”
Bikir frowned.
Adonai had his back to the wind, and Aquila was facing the wind head-on.
The wind of the flood gave more and more power to Adonai’s arrow as if to favor his side, while the power of Aquila’s arrow was halved.
This difference was gradually becoming more and more visible as Aquila’s body condition with more residual scars.
Even Adonai’s sniping shots contained the poison of Madame Eight Legs!
Tsutsutsutsutsu… …
The scars all over Aquila’s body are dyed black.
On the contrary, her complexion was turning pale.
ping- ping- ping-
Even the arrows sent by Aquila began to stray in strange directions at some point.
The wind embraced her arrow and blew it in a different direction out of reach of Adonai.
It was as if the entire jungle was protecting Adonai. Is he really a god of the sea?
Bikir was troubled. How can I overcome this unfavorable situation?
At this rate, Aquila would lose and all of Balak’s warriors would also be pushed away by the Death Knights.
‘… … Should I catch and kill Ahheman?’

However, in order to do so, it is necessary to break through the iron wall of Adonai, which is holding on without budging from its place.
Furthermore, Ahheman did not withdraw all the Death Knights, but was focusing all his efforts on manipulating several named-class Death Knights, including Adonai.
Balak’s warriors are struggling to deal with the other Death Knights, whose spirits do not die at all, even if they are sprinkled with salt.
“Someone has to go and call the other warriors left in the village! As it is… … !”
The moment Bikir urgently shouted.
Iyen covered his mouth.
“Shh. I’m almost done now.”
“… … ?”
Bikir widened his eyes.
Aquila is getting weary, her arrows flying in strange directions with the headwind.
On the other hand, Adonai, who is still moving briskly.
Where the hell do you think you’ve won?
However, Iyen, who is better at archery than Bikir, seems to be seeing something different in his eyes.
Iyen. She watched with a bewildered expression at Aquila’s miracle.
“see. okay. I can see what my mother is looking at.”
“… … ?”
Bikir just tilted his head.
at that time.
The strange thing happened suddenly.
… hooked!
A mysterious arrow flew into the middle of Adonai’s back.
An arrow pierced straight through trembled.
It flew from a completely unexpected direction, neither up nor down nor sideways.
[…] … ?]
Adonai hesitated for a moment. There must have been only one Ahheman behind him, right?
but.
Per-billion!
Immediately another arrow flew in and lodged in the back of Adonai’s head.
And after that.
-Pippipipiping!
A huge number of arrows started flying ‘from behind’.
“What a hundred!?”
Ahhemman fell flat on the floor like a bug.
A few arrows flew from behind, tearing through Ahheman’s nape drum and grinding them.
“… … !”
Bikir looked up with his mouth half-open.
Now I can see the identity of the arrows flying from behind.
Those were the blind arrows that Aquila had just been shooting!
Pipipiping!
Arrows rained down again from behind. Still aiming for Adonai’s back!
Whii-i-!
A bitter wind was turning Aquila’s arrows over to Adonai.
Only then did Vikir notice the cause of this strange phenomenon.
The arrows Aquila shot did not fly in the wrong direction.
At first glance, it seemed to have bent in the wrong direction, but it gushed upward in a whirlwind that raged all over the sea, and returned to its original place by spinning one full turn.
Like salmon running up a waterfall to the place where they were born.
Towards the center of the black vortex created by Adonai, the place where the wind originates!
… puck! … Perpuck! Quageek!
Adonai’s back, which had been completely exposed, turned into a hedgehog in an instant.
An arrow that bounces twice in the wind becomes more powerful than when it was originally shot and aims at the target.
Aquila’s arrows, which penetrate even rocks and logs, did not completely pierce Adonai’s powerful body, but they were still deeply embedded in a considerable part.
pop!
Another arrow landed on top of the arrow lodged in Adonai’s thigh.
Only then was it able to penetrate Adonai’s thigh, which caused Adonai to kneel on the ground after staggering.
Aquila raised her head with a tired complexion.
“Great ancestor. If you had been sane before you were alive, you wouldn’t have made such a rudimentary mistake. That is sad.”
Aquila shot the last arrow at Adonai, who was now unable to move.
Blind arrows fly from behind, and blind arrows from the front.
Adonai couldn’t escape Aquila’s final sniping.
F*ck!
An arrow half-stuck in the back of the head and an arrow half-stuck in the forehead.
… Zeng!
The moment when two arrowheads touch at one point.
thud-
Adonai knelt down.
Legends of previous generations bow their heads before the myths of a new age.
“… … .”
Aquila looked at Adonai, who knelt in front of him and bowed his head.
I didn’t really think about winning.
Aquila was at her peak right now, and Adonai, whom she had just dealt with, had already died of old age and was resurrected as a corpse.
Moreover, since he was a corpse puppet without basic intelligence, let alone the intelligence he had before, it could not be called a proper match.
‘If Adonai had the power of his heyday… … .’
Aquila shook her head. Because only terrible results were expected that I did not want to imagine.
at that time.
“Kuaaaaa!”
A groaning sound is heard.
Ahhemman was struggling, clutching at Adonai’s corpse.
As long as the Death Knight made from Adonai’s corpse was defeated, the victory was over.
The few remaining Death Knights gathered around Ahheman, and a far greater number of Balak warriors surrounded Ahhemam.
“Now stop dying.”
Ayen glared at Ahheman with contemptuous eyes.
but.
Ahhemman’s gamble was not yet over.
He lost almost all of his vitality and mana and was crippled to the bottom of his body, but he still did not let go of his will to live.
“Do not come!”
Ahhemman gathered Adonai’s body and the corpses of the other ancestors in one place.
Then he grabbed a handful of the blood that flowed from his hand and mouth.
“If you come closer, your ancestors will be tainted with my blood!”
At the threat of Ahheman, everyone, including Aquila, stopped for a moment.
A superstition that if you are covered with the blood of a traitor, your soul will not be able to go to the warriors’ paradise.
At the last moment, Ahheman was intimidating others by relying on this little superstition.
At this rate, the souls of the warriors could not go to paradise forever because they were not enough to be fooled by Ahheman.
The situation was even more uncomfortable because he was already well versed in witchcraft.
“… … .”
Aquila raised her bow, but Ahheman cunningly lurked close behind the corpses of his ancestors.
So all the warriors were in a state where they couldn’t act recklessly.
If you are stubborn, you may not be able to make your ancestors forever.
Right then.
“Everyone, please step back.”
Bikir’s voice was heard.
Where everyone’s eyes are directed, you can see Bikir raising his bow and aiming an arrow.
However, the arrow Bikir was aiming at was pointed in the wrong direction.
“… … What are you going to do?”
Even Aquila, who used the wind to show an accuracy rate close to divine, couldn’t help but look at her eyes.
but. Bikir was confident.
“Climb to a higher place first.”
That was Bikir’s last advice.
at the same time.
ping-
Arrows shot from Bikir’s bow fly in a parabolic arc.
The place where it was stuck was where the logs were piled up in layers, where there was a vine knot that held the wooden fences together.
… Took!
The vines that Bikir cut off with his arrows fall to the ground.
yet.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The numerous vines seemed to break one by one, and then the heavy logs began to move all at once.
When the wooden barrier dam, which was held in place by vines, collapses, the things on the other side spill out.
Chow ah ah-
It was the waves of the salt river, a river that swelled during the long rainy season, full of white salt!
