Chapter 158.3 - Shaman Vs Archer

That's why I noticed no abnormalities in their movements since it was just the usual bird.

But, but, who's the idiot who would believe that a flock of birds composed of different species forming a flight-like formation was normal?

Dammit, is this also part of Momokawa's plan?

The flock of birds was flying in my direction straight from the river. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't help but think that Momokawa was the one who controlled those birds.

Maybe he intended to use those birds that were moving freely in the sky as a distraction against me who sat motionlessly on the rooftop. Moreover, Futaba-san kept running across the bridge right at this very moment.

The perfect stance is something like this huh, Momokawa.

Such a terrifying man. He had prepared such a perfect countermeasure after he saw my sniping style.

Maybe he really saw me as a hindrance and made a thorough preparation to kill me. Or else, he felt reluctant about killing me, his classmate, and yet, still forced to do so to keep moving forward No, this wasn't the time to worry about such a thing.

Such sentiment was unnecessary.

I will do everything to protect Saya-chan. The same went for Momokawa, he would do everything to survive. We're already at each other's throats. Since that was the case, the rest was pretty simple.

I made an enemy of an eerie fellow huh but, don't underestimate my arrow!

I nocked two, no three arrows. It was easier for me since my target was crowding together, and fired those three arrows. It wasn't skill but the culmination of my long training as an archer.

So fast!

The three arrows pierced the wind with "byuun", and yet, the birds scattered around. But of course, none of my arrows missed its target.

The first arrow struck a big, parrot-like bird. Second, a parrot-like bird. Third, skewered two tree sparrow-like birds.

Tch, it'll take too much time to kill all of them.

When the birds were flocking together, I ended up allowing Futaba-san to get closer. And yet, I'd yet to confirm the truth about Momokawa's pain return. Entering close combat in this kind of situation was dangerous.

I'd to take care of those birds as soon as possible. And there was only one way to do that.

Fuu haa

I heaved a sigh to regain my composure. One circle, complete.

And then, slowly, after I was done with the pre-match ritual that I repeated for who knows how many times, I nocked my arrow with confidence. This time, it was only one arrow.

Headache, vertigo, nausea, fatigue, I couldn't feel any of those effects.

In short, it must be that.

From here on, I'm going all out!

I nocked my arrow and drew my bow to the limit in order to vent my anger to Momokawa who tricked me NOW.

I was aiming for the moment when Futaba-san came out from the cloud of poison.

~~~~~!??

But as expected, she was reacting towards my sniping. The fired arrow was repelled splendidly by her shield. Moreover, it missed the place where Momokawa was tied up.

Your bravery is splendid. But that's as far as you can go!

I went all out, firing one arrow after another without giving them a moment of rest.

My vocation, Archer made it possible for me to rapid-fire my arrows which were impossible in real life. Thus, I kept firing my arrows just like a machine gun.

Kuh

No matter how much her reaction speed, Futaba-san wouldn't be able to protect herself from my rapid firing arrows. Though she never let me shoot Momokawa until the thirteenth arrow, I didn't miss him from the fourteenth arrow and so on.

Palm, shoulder, shin, thigh. Though my arrow kept piercing Momokawa's small body one after another, I didn't feel anything on my body.

This is the end, MOMOKAWA!!

The moment my arrows pierced his forehead and heart Momokawa's body suddenly burst out.

By burst out, I didn't mean it exploded. For some reason, black smoke burst out from his body and vanished with his corpse.

A double? or illusion? What a shrewd guy.

Well, whatever. As long as I defeat Futaba-san, your biggest war potential, there is nothing to protect you anymore.

The real Momokawa should be hiding close by. I was gonna look for him once I took care of Futaba-san.

Momokawa, you're way too dangerous to be left on your own device.

Now that the hindrance is gone. Let's decided the victor between us, Futaba-san.

Though the one I shot to death was Momokawa's double, Futaba-san was looking at me as if I was her parent's enemy, thus I pulled my blackhorn bow to the limit.
