Chapter 604 An Elf's Rage
Mika nocked a Spirit Arrow on the Wyvernwood Bow Artifact and pulled the bowstring back smoothly. Simultaneously, he channeled a trace of energy into the Wyvernwood Bow, resulting in a cacophony of sounds. The Wyvernwood Bow roared aloud as if it was trying to escape the confinement of the Bow Artifact.
The Spirit Arrow vibrated violently as Draconic Power channeled into it from the Wyvernwood Bow.
Simultaneously, Mika activated Arrow Duplication and Pierce. His two older 4-Star Soultraits were at full display. Mika repeatedly used Arrow Duplication and used Pierce often enough to shroud the Spirit Arrow in a white hue.
Mika released the Spirit Arrow once he finished aiming. A quarter of a second later he activated his 3rd Soultrait. He purchased a third Soultrait from the Jungle Shop and upgraded it straight to 4-Star. Rapid Fire. The Soultrait accelerated his upper body's movements while simultaneously aiding more energy into the energy paths in his arms. This allowed him to retrieve another Spirit Arrow, nock it, and pull the bowstring back in less than a second.
The second Spirit Arrow was fueled with Draconic Power, and empowered with Arrow Duplication, and Pierce before at once. Mika released the Spirit Arrow.
Rapid Fire did not only accelerate his movement speed for a short moment. It also decreased the toll on his body and created the most efficient pathway to keep as much energy as possible while producing the strongest possible attack.
The pair of Spirit Arrows that whizzed through the air split up. Arrow Duplication turned the pair of Spirit Arrows into 4...8...then 16...and finally 32 before they poured down onto the Soldiers of the Zentika Empire.
Under normal circumstances, the Soldiers would have raised their shields to block the attacks. However, the Draconic Power within the Spirit Arrows increased their top speed. The Draconic Power acted as an accelerant, increasing the danger of the duplicated Spirit Arrows even more.
The Spirit Arrows amplified by Pierce, penetrated the Pyro Steel Armor Sets of the Tier-2 Soldiers as if the armor was made from butter instead. However, the attack was not over. The Spirit Arrows pierced deep into the Tier-2 Soldier's flesh and reaped their lives. Only then did the Spirit Arrows' power come into effect.
Mika received various powerful energy influxes. The energy influxes were more potent than usual, and they were not transferred straight to his War Rune either. Instead, Mika was given the opportunity to tap into the energy influxes and annex some of the energy to replenish his dried energy storage. The leftover energy was pulled into the War Rune where it was consumed to refine and strengthen Mika.
Mika didn't rely on the Spirit Arrows' special ability, but it was extremely helpful to refill his energy storage. He changed his tactic after a moment and focused on Rapid Fire combined with Pierce. There was no need to use Spirit Arrows all the time. Instead, Mika was ready to change his attack pattern as often as possible. He wanted to remain unpredictable.
Therefore, Mika turned over to make use of Elemental Might. Two Lesser Elementals chose to accompany him for today's battle. They charged his ordinary arrows and amplified them with Elemental Might. Simultaneously, they inserted traces of their energy into the Wyvernwood Bow to ensure that the Bow Artifact would continue to expose its Draconic Power
Even ordinary arrows would turn into deadly projectiles as long as Draconic Power, Elemental Might, and Pierce were applied to them. The arrows would burst apart after one or two uses, but Mika didn't plan to retrieve the arrows, either way. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
He focused on his new Soultrait, Rapid Fire and Pierce as it drained only a little energy while the Lesser Elementals granted him the power he required to kill his enemies.
The EmeraldLeaf Adventurers had been certain that their Soultraits would solve all issues. Even if they couldn't solve all the issues, Michael would solve them instead.
That was what they'd been thinking about for a while. However, the Savannah's Regional War changed their train of thought. They knew that Michael couldn't always be with them and that they weren't omnipotent. Their force was great given their Tier and Rank, but that was already it.
'We need more achievement points!' Lilcia cursed in her mind, using Weakness Detection, and Precise Aim to adjust her near-
perfect aim naturally and detect numerous openings spread all over the battlefield.
Under normal circumstances, these openings would be too small for anyone to hit. However, Lilica upgraded Presice Aim to 4-Star for a reason. Her aim was impeccable at this point, and hardly anyone could block her attacks even if they saw them.
Unfortunately, seeing Lilica's attacks wasn't that easy anymore.
Lilica bought Invisible Projectile from the Jungle Shop. Invisible Projectile was a bothersome Soultrait that nearly cost Michael's life at some point. It was a nuisance for every enemy and a blessing for the user...especially if utilized together with Weakness Detection and Precise Aim.
Lilica's arrows were camouflaged with 4-Star Invisible Projectile, allowing her to easily exploit the tiny openings in her enemies' defenses.
That was even easier with the use of the Silent Reaper, a Pseudo-Legendary Bow Artifact that blocks all vibrations, sounds and energy fluctuations. Lilica's arrows were not only invisible, but their energy fluctuations were sealed perfectly from the outside, and it was near impossible to hear or sense them.
They were among the lethal projectiles one could find all over the bloody battlefield.
The Forest Elven Elders and the families of Liopham and Pheli had decided to gift Mika, Opars, and Lilica three Pseudo-
Legendary Bow Artifacts as long as they dealt with the Council of Xylon.
Of course, the Zentika Empire was not the Council of Xylon, but the Heart of the Blazing Lion's attack was the whole reason Michael and everyone else couldn't barge into the Savannah Region to obliterate the Council of Xylon.
The Zentika Empire's forces had to be obliterated first!
