Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Her movements were well practiced and refined with a long time of practice.

From the way she moved, held her fabulous weapon with her strong but slender hands covered by gloves to her sharp eyes.

She was wearing a hood, so I did not know her appearance, but I could see her shining pink eyes.

It was a darker pink, unlike my fiery pink Aura, and from the way she fought with a strong (Green) ranked creature, I could conclude some things.

1) She wasn't human, and there was no way in hell she was a human.

That sort of mastery, precise control of the weapon, high strength, that superb mastery of magic and her special spells of water and darkness.

2) No human could have that much-polished mastery of the weapon they wield, and the high experience could never escape my eyes.

Though I can't use my blue eye from this distance yet, I knew she had absurd stats like me and that she was a lot like me.

But... there was no way in hell I would meet someone trained by a divine beast in a place I fall after using the [Gate], right?

So, the only answer to her marvelous weapon wielding would be her being of a different race.

I knew from the way she talked to this teddy bear with sword-like nails and heavy armor body that she would be around my age in human years, but her mature voice was proof enough for me to tell she was old.

Well... lolies existed, but I would never call someone that without knowing about them.

That would be disrespectful to a truly powerful person.

Not like that hot b-… she was just a perfect girl.

As for the current situation…

Thanks to my master, I could call my basic archery skills polished to the core, and that was the moment for me to learn something of my own.

I knew I had talent unlike anyone, and sticking to just one style would have been a waste of this particular talent.

And so, I concluded on six ways to use my bows and arrows.

=> Long-range shooting: Where I hit the target far away from me with different techniques.

Well, I can kill the targets at a ridiculous distance while using the three powerful energies I had, and that was one hell of a show to watch.

=> Short range shooting: In spars or the so-called PVPs, this type would be highly useful and this was the most I focused on my own.

=> Fencing with my arrows: This whole style's credit would go to my master and without her, I knew I would never have learned something so cool.

And even though it would be swordsmanship, the arrow aspect changed many things because I can just throw it mid-way while still engaged in the fight.

=> Pure magic archery: It was the coolest type I can use but, that one used a lot... a LOT of energy to properly last.

So that was my trump card, and I knew it was the coolest type for me.

=> Pure physical archery: Again, this one's credit would go to master as she had taught me the most basic things, like holding the bow and arrow and standing while shooting those arrows in different ways.

She dug those basics in my bones and I could never make a mistake in that one.

Different from other archery where I would use magic, this type was solely focused on a simple bow and arrow, nothing else.

Just simple archery that utilized the full potential of my physical body and this was my favorite type because I can be in the [ZONE] the most time while using this one.

And I loved that rush... anyone would love it.

=> Arrow throwing: Just like what I did while killing that pig, I can use Asta or any other arrow as a javelin and throw it with the power that can rival even high-tier spells.

This one was as complicated as pure magic archery, but the results were quick and I can use it anytime in the fight, so it was some of the most effective ones.

This was the archery I created, and there were different techniques in these six forms that I used, modified, and recreated to suit me perfectly.

Well, that was it and from the looks of it, she also had her own style of handling the scythe.

It looked polished and I could see she had as outstanding talent to handle that big scythe as Carla had with a sword.

That sister of mine swung great swords like they were nothing, and I was confident she had greater strength and physical stats than me.

Not that stats would matter against me now, but she was stronger than me if we saw in the physical aspects.

I liked this person's style and I acknowledge her ability as a magic scytheman to be the greatest I had seen... well; she was the first human I had seen in six years. What else would I think?

And on top of that, she had an Origin skill just like me!

LOL.

It was laughable just how similar we were, and if she was someone from a high noble family that was neutral in the empire, I would say she was the actual protagonist of this novel.

And she also had an Origin beast as her companion, an old one at that.

From the way Celes and I could see, this old crow was truly a strong beast, but the only thing that was different between him and Celes was that he was strong but older in comparison to Celes.

She had a lot of room to grow and she was just some years old for all that mattered.

She was the same age as me if I wanted to say in mental terms and just from how cheerful she was; I knew everyone would just love to be friends with her.

Just like this old crow with gorgeous eyes.

I wanted to quickly go there and check their status windows, but... something came up while she was done playing with the beast.

From what I knew, when an energy beast that can use natural berserk goes berserk, the chances of finding the core from them increase significantly.

And she was definitely doing just that by provoking the beast like that.

Well, though she succeeded, the beast she was fighting used a crowd-gathering skill.

And just like a mother calling her children, the wail from the teddy bear attracted a great number of different bear beasts in that area.

Though they were only (Orange) and (Yellow) ranked beasts, I didn't know if she could handle that many beasts on her own.

So, well, I tried to help and test something.

"Zoe looks like I will have to do some long-distance shooting.

Would you mind supporting me from behind, please?" I asked with an excited smile, and she understood me perfectly.

Zoe was carrying many artifacts with her in her own spatial storage, so she was going to be fine and if something unexpected happens, I knew she would be excellent support.

And that person aside, I wanted to try my strength on the creatures outside of the great forest for the first time.

If it were there, I knew that the bear she was fighting would be almost two meters taller and its Mana would also be greater now that it was in a berserk state.

Same for the other teddy bears that were running toward them at an angry speed.

These creatures were far weaker than what I faced in that green and dark forest and after killing the likes of them, and gaining strength far greater than at that time, just how easy would it be to kill these small fries?

My heart was calm, blood flowing throughout my body hot, and the smirk on my face was filled with excitement.

There was no bloodlust coming out of me, as I already knew they were going to die even before knowing what hit them.

And I could hear the helpless sighs from my back and in my mind.

A total of three. Even Lucy was sighing at this behavior of mine.

Well, I couldn't help it, this was naturally that much exciting.

"Hehehe... let's do some teddy hunting~!" I giggled like Celes and took out the same bow I used in the fight with the piggy and some enchanted green arrows.

Wind, water, fire.

One arrow with three enchantments was more than enough to kill one of those beasts... at least theoretically It was.

I didn't know just what kind of power I will see here so; I wanted to avoid using my actual spells.

They were ok in PVPs, but in these long fights where I had no idea about my strength, I couldn't use that one recklessly.

Thankfully, I had an almost endless supply of enchanted arrows of powers rivaling almost (tier-3) spells.

Well, stuff aside, I really wanted to just pull my strings, set the arrows, and just... boom~.

So, without wasting much time, I pulled back the strings of the pure white bow, set the arrow on it, and took my stance.

Aiming the bow at the faraway trees, I stabilized my form.

Taking a deep breath, conforming to every other factor…

'<First stance of sniping- kill>.'

-Swiiiiiiiiiish- booooom!

The arrow left the bow and shot forward with a boom when the fire enchantment kicked in.

But...

"Fuck... this is stronger than expected..." my eyes were left wide open at the result of just this one arrow, but the smirk on my face never went away, and instead, it widened in surprise and... awe.
