Chapter 340: Dead eye

While the blue ivy burst in to life and stretched itself out to try and catch Calen who was busy running about the room to avoid it Wade came up to Walker and Gil. "You must be the leader I have heard about. You made a big splash when you bound the enforcers with ice. I have never seen them all so angry. They are still running around telling people you were cutting the forest. It's hysterical." Wade patted Walker on the shoulder enjoying the annoyed looks on the party's faces. 

"Well, I would prefer that they didn't do that, especially since they bound us first." The bitterness in Walker's voice was enough to remove the sweetness from sugar. 

I am sure that is the case. So you're the archer in the group, right? What kind of bow is that? It doesn't look elven or human. Did you get it from those little monster dwarves?" The slight tone of Wade's voice gave away the general disagreements the elves always had for the dwarves, Their temperaments had rarely aligned since the two cultures preferred to stay to themselves. 

The stubborn dwarves and the stubborn elves had reached many stalemates over materials. The elves making magical equipment that often used natural mana. And the dwarves making weapons often using the mana produced by a user. The similar but different ideals were enough to cause the gears to grind. 

"Ancient ruins. It is pretty useful. She'll be my partner for the rest of my life." Walker nearly smacked himself hearing that Gil referred to his bow as a she and that he would spend his life with it. 

"Gil, you need a girl friend." Remey paid enough attention to what the boys were saying to throw an insult at Gil, but returned to watching Calen run about the room. It was more entertaining to her. 

"Ouch, your party is rough." Wade looked at Remey wondering how a human girl could be so mean to her party members. 

"Eh, she grows on you. Sorta." Gil just glanced at her and showed off his bow more. He quickly fell in to a deep conversation about the strong tension and how he preferred to use silent shot over quick shot since he had good aim and a decent ability to sneak in the forest. 

"If you haven't caught on I am an archer as well. More specifically a sniper." Wade opened his hand and a green bow appeared out of nowhere. "This is my partner, I was lucky enough to have it passed down from my master. It's a living spirit oak bow. It has been with the elven people for the entirety of our existence." The bow seemed to pulse with natural mana while being shown off in its glory. 

"I can use its unique ability to create living arrows. They are basically just wood splinters, but when they land they expand to three times their size. Just like the steel cedar trees tough branches. Pair them with Alma's skills and I have a very serious attack." Wade was proud of his bow and hard practiced strategy. 

"I have to ask, what title are you trying to get?" Walker joined the conversation a little afraid that Gil would start talking about arrows and let slip his wither spike arrows.

"I already had the dead eye title. I earned it from my master who trained me in archery since the day I was born. I want to say after hitting a target for the millionth time in a row dead center I was given the title. I can't remember though. My system is the arcane sniper. My magic focuses on distance and physical attack boost. Sadly I won't be letting elemental arrows fly. Sorry to disappoint." Wade looked a little sad but the things he could do were already amazing. 

"No way you are a better shot than I am. I can hit whatever you can hit." Gil sensed a challenging rival and couldn't stop himself from picking a little competition. 

"You talk big for a human. You know that archery is born to us right? Most of our race unlock magic or archery systems. Don't get too far ahead of yourself here." Wade tapped his bow with the opposite hand and a spike of mossy wood pulled from the bow and spun in his hands. 

"I have some tricks too you know." Gil pulled back his bow slightly and a small wind elemental arrow started to form. "My bow can take my natural wind affinity and make an arrow out of it, jealous?"

"Gil I swear if you let an arrow fly in here I will deflect it back at you," Su said this without even looking at them. She had seen the curtains move slightly and knew that Gil was fooling around with his bow indoors. 

Gil released the arrow back in to the nothing it came from before he got in trouble. Su may not have been scary, but he did respect her ability to do just what she said she would do. 

"Calen over there thinks she will be able to steal the speedster title from the old man. But he had been retired for seventy years now and still refuses to give it up. She even tries to out speed him every day. You could say she forced him to be her master." 

Calen heard this and was right next to them a second later. "Who said I forced who to be my master? I would never take someone so slow to be my master. There would be nothing for me to learn, I would just get slower." She just humphed as she went back to her game of blue ivy dodging. 

"Calen will deal with those I snipe from long range after Alma has the arrows grow and bind them. It is a very good partnership, how does your party operate?" Wade was done giving up more information and was now interested to see how well the two would be able to cooperate. 

"It is definitely impressive that you have a title. Nice to meet you, Wade, holder of the dead eye title. I am Walker, holder of the true hero title." Walker held out and hand and Wade shook it. He was sure that this was the start of a nice partnership since Wade acted fairly straight forward. 

"Su is our main defender. She has dual wielded shields for bashing, deflecting, and blocking. She has a special skill as part of her draconic guardian system which allows her to see tiny details in an opponent's movements. Odds are she will block for you before you even know an attack is coming. Su gave a nod to them hearing her name brought up. 

Remey is an alchemical brawler. She has a unique system that no other has. She can make potions and act as a front line fighter. Basically, she can heal you but also break you. Just be nice and she won't punch you too many times.

Midnight is a dragon, she was born with a skeletal dragon bloodline as you can see from her wings. She is tough defensively and can sneak around taking out an opponent from their blind spot." Walker left out Midnight's new class title and species for fear that the information might spread too much while here in the elven kingdom. 

"Gil is a ranger. He is more at home in the forest than any other human you will meet. He can travel through it pretty well and exceeds in tracking. He also is a very good shot, so you can feel free to compete." Gil gave Wade a wink since he wanted to make sure the elf knew he would be gunning for the tile of dead eye.

"Around my neck here is Onyx, Alma was just about to learn about his skills as an abyssal serpent." Walker left Onyx to surprise them.

"Welcome to our party. I hope to spend a lot of time chatting." Alma heard Onyx's voice in her head and realized that this was how the queen and Walker had spoken. 

"That's the best means of communication. You are never at risk to have things over heard with you around. How lucky!" She was so amazed by the skill Onyx had that he tightened himself on Walker's shoulders out of embarrassment. Calen was able to get close and tag Alma while she was distracted. 

"Victory! Stupid vines will never get me." Before Alma could send out more vines, Calen was already on the opposite side of the room. Walker had been watching the two play their game out of the corner of his eye. He had made sure to familiarize himself with Calen's speed, if he lost track of her in a fight he could hit her with a spell or his weapons.
