Chapter 30: Advanced Archery (Triple‑Watch Simultaneous Release, Please Read On)
The sound of arrows tearing through the air rang continuously, each shot hitting its target with precision.
One beast after another howled and fell under the arrows' penetration, and the assault beneath the city wall was temporarily suppressed.
Robin's eyes glittered with focused light, yet a faint excitement stirred in his heart.
Such high‑intensity combat is a perfect chance to boost Basic Arrow Skill Proficiency.
He shot arrows while feeling every detail of the art— the draw force, the aiming angle, the rhythm of his Breathing Method.
With each shot, he could feel his understanding of archery deepening.
"Basic Arrow Skill Proficiency +1."
"Basic Arrow Skill Proficiency +1."
"Basic Arrow Skill Proficiency +1."
The system's notification tone kept echoing in his mind; Robin's mouth twitched upward, a sense of achievement filling his heart. He knew such opportunities were rare and had to be seized.
"Robin, you're literally a Human-shaped Bow Arrow Launcher!" Eric exclaimed beside him, his long sword whirling like a storm, cleaving a monster trying to climb the wall in two.
Lily stood on Robin's other side, her short bow continuously launching arrows.
Her archery, though not as precise as Robin's, still posed a considerable threat to the beast horde.
Tomson looked a bit flustered; his long spear, though powerful, drained his stamina rapidly against such a dense swarm of monsters. He panted heavily and muttered, "Why do these beasts never end!"
Robin kept shooting while saying in a deep voice, "Hold on! Reinforcements are arriving soon; we just need to endure a little longer!"
At that moment, a bright horn sounded from afar.
Robin looked up and saw the Malizi Knight Captain leading a cavalry unit charging to the beasts' rear.
Their banners fluttered loudly in the wind, the thunderous hooves deafening, like an unstoppable torrent.
"It's the Malizi Knight Captain! He's back!" Tomson shouted excitedly, hope shining in his eyes.
Robin's mouth twitched upward, a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew the arrival of reinforcements meant a greater chance of victory.
"Hold on! Reinforcements have arrived!" Robin shouted loudly, his voice brimming with exhilaration.
The soldiers on the wall, hearing the news, were buoyed and unleashed even stronger combat power.
The beasts' assault was temporarily suppressed, and the tide began to turn.
Robin gripped his strong bow tightly, his gaze fixed firmly on the distance.
The battle was far from over; the fiercest melee had only just begun, and the monsters were about to make their move.
He drew the bowstring to the full again, an arrow flashing out like lightning, striking precisely a high‑level beast attempting to scale the wall.
The beast let out a mournful howl as its massive body crashed to the ground.
"Basic Arrow Skill Proficiency +1."
The system's notification sounded again, a flash of satisfaction crossing Robin's eyes.
This battle was not only a test of their strength but also a perfect chance for him to improve his archery.
"Keep fighting! Give them no chance!" Robin shouted, drawing his strong bow to full again.
The wall soldiers answered in unison, the battle horns, the beasts' roars, and the arrows' whooshing intertwining like an exhilarating war song.
Damia Great Knight Leader's figure fell from the wall like a meteor; his massive sword, wreathed in golden primal force, slashed down with a roar, turning two wild boars into blood‑mud before they could even howl.
He rose slowly, his silver armor glinting coldly in the moonlight, wielding a two‑meter‑long dragon‑slaying sword, "Morgan's Sword," humming and trembling, its blade pointing at the Earthstorm Bear a hundred meters away.
Six figures followed, leaping down the wall. Fitz Knight's long spear spun a ghostly blue chill from his palm;
Bald giant Xiaoduo bore the Xuan Tie Ta Shield, each step cracking the ground beneath him;
Twin brothers Kaiyin and Kaien brandished a chain‑hammer and a battle axe, blood‑colored battle aura weaving a net around them;
"Boom!"
The Earthstorm Bear suddenly rose upright, its forepaws slapping the ground.
Countless rock spikes burst from the earth; Robin, drawing his bow on the wall, blinked as those rocks twisted mid‑air into ten‑meter‑long rock spears, raining down on the knight order.
"Holy Shield!" Xiaoduo's roar made ears ache.
The tower shield slammed into the ground, and LiuLingGuangMu rose instantly, the rock spears smashing against the light curtain and exploding into dust.
"Knight Charge!" Malizi shouted, coordinating the knight apprentices to thrust the strongest spear.
A soil‑colored spear thrust across the battlefield, cracking the rock armor on the Earthstorm Bear's back.
Yet the beast snarled at Malizi, baring fangs; lava‑like fluid oozed from the wound, instantly sealing the crack anew.
"It's the Great Earth Mother's blessing!" Damia's voice, laced with battle aura, rang across the field, "Don't give it a chance to breathe!"
Fitz became an afterimage, dashing forward, his spear carving dazzling sparks on the rock armor.
The Kaiyin brothers' chain‑hammer and battle axe struck the Earthstorm Bear's knees simultaneously, forcing the giant beast to half‑kneel.
When Damia's Ashen Messenger descended with a mountain‑splitting strike, Robin suddenly noticed an eerie soil‑colored glow emanating from the Earthstorm Bear's claw tips.
"Grand Knight Leader, be careful!"
Warning alarms and rock blasts erupted together.
Within a hundred‑meter radius, the ground turned to quicksand; seven rock pillars shot skyward, trapping all six knights inside.
Ancient runes surfaced on the Earthstorm Bear's chest, and the quicksand began solidifying into crystals—it intended to turn the entire battlefield into amber that sealed its prey!
On the wall, Robin drew his bow to the full, the arrowhead aimed at the Earthstorm Bear's right eye.
His Breathing Method surged to the limit.
"Basic Arrow Skill advanced to First-level Archery, arrow power increased by ten percent."
The system's tone rang in Robin's ears, his gaze as sharp as a hawk, the strong bow in his hands seeming to merge with him.
The advanced archery gave him a new level of control; arrow power rose ten percent, not merely a numeric change but the start of a qualitative shift.
The next second, Robin released the bowstring; an arrow glowing soil‑color shot out, heading straight for the Earthstorm Bear's right eye.
The arrow's speed was almost invisible to the naked eye, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.
At the same time, the Ashen Messenger of the Damia Great Knight Leader split open the rock pillar that trapped the six knights.
Six figures, entwined with various Life Forces, shot up into the sky, like six brilliant stars, weaving a huge strangling net in the night sky.
Their offensive was fierce and precise, each strike aimed at the vital point of the Earth Rage Bear.
"Pff!"
An earth-yellow arrow precisely pierced the Earth Rage Bear's right eye; the earth-elemental energy attached to the arrow instantly erupted, shattering the bear's eyeball.
The Earth Rage Bear let out an earth-shaking roar, its massive body staggered backward, and lava-like blood gushed from the wound in its right eye, staining half its face red.
