Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[OP: ]

[{ "Miss moon. Please go to the control room. Celes will guide you there." }]

[{ "Master…?" }]

[{ "It's fine. Leave that one and go there." }]

She could tell from his voice he wasn't in the right state to ask any questions, so she just agreed and followed his will.

-Swish!

"Please take care of this one, Mister Zuroro. I will have to leave."

{ "It is alright, miss. You can leave this one to me." }

They were fighting a tough opponent in a different part of the castle, a place where not just anyone could enter, a corridor that lead to the hidden escape route that few in the auction house knew about.

There were only one of the opponents before them, however, even though Miss Moon and Zuroro were accompanied by the experts of the Hiraani, they found it quite difficult to defend against an opponent like this one.

He was strong and more than the strength it had, there was something that bored them, and made things even more difficult for them.

"Ktktktktktkt."

"There's just too many of them!"

{ "Don't fear them, warriors! They are merely insects hindering us!" }

The opponent, a humanoid wearing a hood and strange black clothes covering his entire body, was the confirmed to be one of the thieves who was trying to escape at the moment, however, he was not the only one present in this passage way.

There were mechanical creatures, machines with many legs and one single disc like head that they wre giving a hard time to the experts who were adapt at dealing normal ministers of low intelligence.

-Boooom!

They were strong and smart, and they could also read and analyse the movements of the knights, as well as the magic that thee mages were casting.

Some of these mechanical creatures were capable of using strong techniques that gave them hard time while some of them could cancel the magic of the mages.

They were only the size of a small car or dog but they were creatures more powerful than even the (Blue) rank creatures that they had fought throughout their lives.

The opponent was strong to deal with as well since they possessed high physical rasistence skills and there was a strong barrier protecting them.

They were also very good at understanding and anticipating the attacks of the enemy, and it was giving Zuroro a hard time.

Miss Moon was a good help but since the master of the creatures was completely immune to all kinds of magic she had used until now, she wasn't fighting against the thieves themselves.

She was dealing with the mechanical creatures, which wasn't needed at the moment. She can go and do what their master had told them.

{ "You damn bug!" }

Zuroro was enough to take care of these bastards.

And just like how he was dealing with these bastards on this end, there were other fights going on throughout the Hiraani.

"Eon?"

There were eleven of them present here in total, nine of them from the original group while two that the leader had secretly prepared for this mission.

However, these two trump cards that he had prepared, along with a strong combatant that could have been of a great use, were being held captives by the <Auctioneer angel>.

They were unable to leave that area and even if they did leave, they were completely surrounded by strong people from all over the world and their own guards.

There would be no way for them to get out of a difficult situation unharmed or with any small injuries so they were just doing what they could to make any mistakes in that place.

One of the nine was a traitor who was fighting and restraining another member from escaping while one had already managed to escape somehow.

Miss Moon and Zuroro were fighting one, three were standing behind the dark area before Eon and the presidents, while the others from their group were trying to find an available escape route.

"Let's finish this quickly. I have to go catch a bastard."

However, the fight happening with the group in the dark was the most impotent right now.

"What happened?" Cradle asked as she could see a kind of anger she had rarely ever seen in his eyes.

Even Zodiac looked at him with a worried look all of a sudden.

This look wasn't present a moment ago.

"Oprator B. That bastard…"

He was holding an arro that was specially enchanted by him and they knew it was strong enough to not break even if a [Rank-5] knight tried to break it with their bare hands.

-Crak,

-Tak.

It was strong, but, it broke down into two pieces as he looked ahead of I'm.

"Let's finish this."

His mom did not know yet. But she would find out soon and reach the place… he didn't want her to be there alone, by herself, when she saw that scene.

"Alright…"

The presidents also understood there was no need for them to stop them anymore. They even needed to give their all right now so that they can finish this as quickly as possible.

-Swish…

He took out another arrow as the arrow that had broken into two pieces laying one the ground became one with the soil.

"Get ready everyone."

Those bastards beyond this darkness were guarding something, but it wasn't their goal here.

They were just stalling for time for their leader so that he could go and get what he wanted.

No one knew why he was going to such lengths over false information still, however, now that he had crossed the line, Eon wasn't going to let him get out of this place.

-Tuuuuuck.

Setting a wooden arrow with golden enchantments around it on the bowstring, he pulled the string back.

"Go."

-Swiiiiiiiish~!

The arrow was released, and at the same time, a light burst from the point he was standing on.

The creatures hiding in the shadows, the wolves that were stronger than many of the creatures that Zuroro was fighting, also got affected by the light for a moment.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

Eon vanished from his place at that moment, and so did his two presidents.

-Baaaaaaaaaaam!

Light exploded in multiple places at once, and at the same time, beyond the shadows, the three thieves standing with a serious expression on their faces, had a their eyes widened.

-Swiiiiish!

An arrow came from beyond the dark fog, the unique Origin skill of the Jackal of the stars, and flew right past the Uranus vortex.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

Which was enough of a warning for them to know the first defence line that they had created against those bastards had already been breached.

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiish~!

More arrows flew at them from various different directions and they had no choice but to avoid the arrows as they knew getting hit by any of those arrows would not be a good thing in any way.

They were strange enchanted arrows that contained more powers than what met their eyes, and they weren't dumb enough to not see the connection every single one of the arrows that had flown to them had with one another.

It was a vicious magic trap where even if one of the arrows just barely graced one of them, all the other arrows that had been fired until now to the arrow that he had on him would all connect together and make a binding spell that would completely restrain them.

They shouldn't get hit by it… not that it was in their hands.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

The arrows kept coming at him relentlessly out of nowhere.

They didn't even get the chance to properly act when the arrows were right before them and if not for their superior senses and instincts, they would have certainly been hit by a ew of the arrows.

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish~!

And the arrows weren't simply basic enchanted arrows after a few minutes had passed.

-Booooooooooom!

There were all kinds of magic arrows containing powerful spells that they weren't expecting at all!

-Swiiish! Swiiish! Swiiish!

There were three opponents, <Jackal of stars> a master origin skill user that specialised not in combat but infiltration and retrieval; Uranus Vortex a (tier-8) wind mage that was powerful enough to have fended off the guards chasing after him earlier and was a strong combat unit that could certainly go against a large number of people if he had enough area to move around; and then Wind of Light that technically was a magic spearman, and the strongest of them all.

However, even we found it difficult to deal with the arrows that were coming at them from all directions while dealing with a explosion specialist mage, and a boy that used a strange kind of swordsmanship.

She was fighting the two of them by herself while dealing wit those tens of arrows coming towards her, and she knew she couldn't keeep it up for long even if she were to use her full power.

The place they were in, this cave like passage of the underground floor had security measures that maintained this place, however, now that the system had gone, they doubted whether the ceiling that wasn't made with any special materials would get destroyed or not.

They would die instantly if something unexpected were to happen and they would more certainly face dire consequences if they continued believing in the person they did not even know the identity of.

Not only their careers but their lives were on the line as well.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

-Swish! Swish!

-Swish!

And these relentless, infinite arrows weren't going to stop anytime soon, so, they saw only one option out of this situation.

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiish~!

-Thud.

An arrow of blue magic was coming towards the magic spearman, however, instead of dodging, she just stood there after putting her spear on the ground.

"I surrender."

She was giving up. Handing her fate in the hands of the one that fired so many arrows in a matter of minutes like it was no big deal.

She had not seen anything like this ever in her life before…

-Swiiiiiiish!

However, just like the arrow that was coming towards her vanished midway like it was never there… she knew the only chance she could get out of this mess, would be through this terrible method.
