Chapter 465

Episode 465: Still, you will be blessed (4)

“Physical things certainly don’t seem to have any meaning...”

Hawkeye concluded after consuming two piercing arrows.

A normal attack is meaningless against that entity called Hawaii or something. If you go in the direction of maximizing the physical power of those carrying magical power, it doesn’t work.

“What’s with the explosive arrow?”

“This is it.”

If so, it would be better to change the method of attack.

Hawkeye put down the fine-tipped arrow and picked up a new arrow with a barbed tip. Snapping. The triangle-shaped arrowhead was pulled along the string, and it seemed as if it would almost never touch the bow.

ping!

Immediately after, the protest drew arrows with fierce inertia. The butterfly decoration attached to Hawkeye’s hair is fluttering in the wind struck by the arrow.

Quang!

“Did you get hit?”

“yes.”

Timanyuk clenched his fists as he took a short break while figuring out what magic was effective. It was the reaction of an ordinary person who knew that he had been intercepted but did not know the details.

“Then from now on, can we just give explosion magic?”

“No, it would be better to hold out for a while.”

However, from Hawkeye’s perspective, the story was a bit different.

He loaded a new magic arrow and fired again. Even my throbbing arm didn’t bother me right now.

His pupils, dilated with excitement, absorbed all the light from his son-in-law and followed the two colors moving back and forth in the sky. The bow and the arrows hanging from it may show a slight reaction, but they never move in pursuit of the two.

ping!

Then wait a moment. He shot his flesh toward the bright blue sky. What happened next was that thick and deep darkness rushed towards the sky. Quang! An explosion occurred where Eve’s wings connected to her body.

[That little creature from earlier...!]

Of course, that attack did not turn out to be a critical hit. Even though the arrow pierced the leather and exploded inside, you could tell just by looking at it that not a single piece of flesh or blood was scattered.

As I confirmed earlier, there was something in its body that absorbed or ignored shock.

[Seeing how angry he is, it seems to be working. Try shooting more.]

[Same thing!]

But the problem is that I’m not sure if the cause is the body’s lack of bones, muscles, etc., or if it’s due to the abilities it has....

“Hmm.”

For now, Hawkeye ignored Suzaku’s words. Not only was he not the type to leave everything to other people’s judgment, but Suzaku’s words were closer to provocation than the truth. So, although it may seem like the words were directed at him, they actually seem like they were directed at Eve.

“For something like that, freezing usually works best...”

In the case of an amorphous demon, it was possible to stop its movement by freezing it with magical power. Even if you don’t die, you can buy time to summon a priest and pronounce the death sentence.

[Do you think I will be defeated?]

But that devil’s case is different. How many arrows does it take to freeze that big guy? In the first place, isn’t it reasonable to use the power of ice in front of a Suzaku made of flames?

Hawkeye pondered those facts, picked up the quiver and hung it around his waist. “Oh.” Lastly, I also took Timanuk, who was fiddling with his arrows, for the following reasons.

[Die!]

The moment Eve flapped her wings in the air, putrid salts fell down like rain.

[Where!]

Of course, it was hit by Suzaku as compensation for hovering. Not only that, but the back of his neck was also bitten. Huh. Irregular birds took a crashing flight. In

the meantime

, Hawkeye ran to another hill area where there was no rot.

If I went into the barrier like everyone else, I wouldn’t have to suffer so much if I could avoid it, but I had no choice but to find an area that would be easy to intercept.

Timanuk, who had become accustomed to Hawkeye’s delivery, easily stepped on the floor and placed his butt on the ground.

Kyaaaaaaa!

Horurururu!

The environment surrounding her was also problematic. Aside from having to swing with one arm, it was difficult to use an ax in a situation where you had to hold on to keep your body from flying away, even with half the power you normally have.

Kwasik! Eventually, the wooden handle broke, unable to withstand the hardness of the fat and her strength.

“Tsk.”

She clicked her tongue at him and took out a new weapon from her subspace bag. The exposed skin of my fingers was sore, but that didn’t make me give in to the cold. Her five fingers held the weapon tightly and she repeatedly struck down several times.

Sigh!

“...!”

After a while, the sticky fat began to reveal the flesh underneath. The sensation when struck subtly changes as if the fascia is pierced, and blood leaks out.

As soon as Berserk checked him, he let go of the axe. This is because, apart from sharpness, a long blade was needed for the work to be done from now on. And the axes I had used so far did not have very long wedges. It was only about a span at most.

Pong pong.

The blood that leaked out and the ax stuck in it were unable to withstand the wind pressure and flew to the other side.

“after.”

Meanwhile, Berserk plunged a new sword into the wound he had made. It was a sword with a sharp tip, but with a sense of thickness and width. Cough! Additionally, its pommel was flat so it was easy to hit with something. Cough! She used it to drive the knife deeper and deeper. The weapon used is a blade that can only be used in a blacksmith shop.

Kyaaaaaaaaa!

The dragon roared at the presence of a wound that was too big to ignore. The size of the annoyance was so great that it even turned its body vertically, which had been going straight, to rise upward.

Kyaoooo!

Wait a minute to soar upward like that. The dragon that rose above the city struggled, twisting its body this way and that. The corner of Berserk’s mouth quirked as it looked like a fish thrown onto land.

“I thought it was a dragon, but it was just a fish!”

Wow!

However, the difference between a fish on land and Cain is whether or not they know where their pain comes from.

“By the way, do you understand my swearing?”

Cain’s head, with two strands of beard fluttering around, pinpointed the location of Berserk. The bright yellow dragon’s gaze and the direction of its wide-open mouth clearly show what it is aiming for.

“If you do that, kill me, beast.”

But despite that intense hostility, she just snorted. Cough! The hammer that struck down the sword again as if provoking her bore a striking resemblance to her iron-clad pride.

Kyaaaaaaa!

In the end, the dragon shook its head and roared twice before ending its stationary flight with a flame of fury in its eyes. Wedge! The sky that the pale blue body divides is exactly the color just before night falls.

Sigh!

Cain’s body moved in a circular motion like a whirlwind, perhaps because he was considering eating only Aman’s body while trying to catch Berserk. If the altitude that increased with each turn had been a little lower, it was a whirlwind that would have caused friction between bodies.

“...!?”

However, what Berserk focused on was not the dangerous gap. The son-in-law’s voice became truly unnatural and diminished like a withering flower.

And then her body started to react strangely. At first, the pressure felt like my heart and its surroundings were being squeezed, and then I began to feel uncomfortable, as if my body was drying out and turning into a piece of wood.

“Wook!”

She may have inadvertently held her breath at the sudden change, but her internal organs were crushed and she spat out blood. The blood came from the trachea, not the esophagus.

“This!”

Internal organs were damaged. What kind of attack occurred during that brief moment, and if not an attack, what was the cause? I didn’t know anything like that, but I was certain that it had happened.

Berserk’s eyes twisted.

Cluck cluck.

She closed her eyes tightly, feeling as if her eyeballs were bulging, while trying to control her upset stomach. The situation was worse than the last time I caught the devil of jealousy or something, but I couldn’t lose.

Cough!

Her hand lifted the hammer again.

“Fly.”

And right below her.

“As if it would pierce the sun.”

The man who had almost taken over a bar in the city raised the corners of his mouth.

A silver flash shot into the sky.
