I could see all of the hidden archers fire their bows from all directionsrather I could sense it.
From the beginning of our negotiations I had Perception Expansion and Program activated. Because of that I already knew about those hidden archers and even the people that had been slowly approaching from other directions.
The speed of arrows were at best 180 km/h.
With over 20 ters of distance separating us it would take 0.4 seconds for the arrows to reach .
Even that much ti was plenty.
At the sa ti the archers released their arrows the angles, speed, and force of them were all told to by the wind. With that much data my Program spell automatically chose the optimum course of action and moved my body.
I stepped forward once, ducked down, and twisted.
With those simple movents all the arrows barely missed my body. From calculation to implentation it was 0.1 seconds and the ti it took for my body to complete those actions was 0.2 seconds. I was able to evade with 0.1 seconds of leeway.
I could see the faces of the nobles and soldiers in front of warp with shock.
Of course they would since I had been shot at from five different directions by soldiers who had erased their presence while hiding amongst the trees. Furthermore it was from a close distance of around 20 ters. It was furthermore enhanced by the assumption most people made that no one would use bows against an elf. In fact if another elf had been here in my place they would have certainly died.
Despite how incredible Elves were with bows, blocking arrows required a certain distance and even then it was limited to simple long distance attacks. In close distance they wouldnt have enough ti to use wind to influence the arrows too much. Furthermore if it was from multiple directions we would be unable to use the wind to deflect all the arrows.
It wasnt as if there werent elves capable of creating a wind storm around themselves, but it was hard to control and those elves who could do it, could not do it instantly.
The bown also had good skills. They were all at different distances, but all the arrows arrived nearly at the sa ti. If I hadnt moved then they would have all hit. If that wasnt enough, then the directions they fired from made it so that there was practically nowhere to run.
The bown were surely shocked that I had dodged, but even still they did not freeze up and were ready to send out another barrage.
Its a sha for them to die in vain.
I honestly praised them. Even amongst elves there were few who were as well trained as these bown.
For that reason they had to die here.
I touched the chanical bow attached to my left wrist.
It folded up so that it didnt look much like a bow at all.
However, once I pressed a button it would automatically fold out as the bowstring stretched out. I would then have a perfectly good short bow.
I pointed the short bow at one of the hidden bown.
My wrist covering had small bolt-like arrows hidden within it. I grabbed three of them in my right hand.
This short bow was quite small, but because of the special alloy I had made it out of, the tensile strength was around 55kg and was around 60% as strong as the normal crossbows that I had made. Its piercing power was around 1.3 tis as strong as a long bow so it could barely pierce through the Empires armor.
I placed one of the arrows on the string and pulled back with my right hand.
The reason I kept this bow so small was to make it easier to carry around and also because this was the limit to how much draw weight I could pull using one arm when using Body Enhancent.
After eat a few hundred of the soldiers souls my magic power quantity was increased by a large amount, but the amount I could use all at once hadnt changed very much. Plus if I strengthened my body too much I could end up badly injuring myself so there was a limit to that as well.
If I wanted to overco that limit I would have to use a magic like Samsara Recursion to change my body into one that could handle such an emission of magical power. Id have to use that trick.
I let the arrow fly and cast Wind Blessing on it so it flew straight on with terrifying speed.
~~
One of the bown took the arrow right between the eyes and collapsed without even a scream.
Before he even finished falling to the ground I knocked the other arrows and fired them.
This wrist mounted tal bow didnt have a clasp or trigger like other crossbows. I had prioritized rapid fire so I judged they were unnecessary.
Be careful! That bow can pierce our armor! Protect the archers! Knights charge!
On Baron Lurvishs orders 7 armored knights ca charging towards .
I see, though it was a fearso weapon this bow wasnt suited to close quarters fights. He must have also thought that I had no other thods, other than using this bow, to pierce their armor.
As I thought that my hand finished moving and my arrow shot out and killed the third archer.
However, there was no ti to fire a fourth. The Knights were already before my eyes.
Without panicking I pulled my knife from the scabbard at my waist. The mont the black blade of the knife erged I poured my magic inside it and a sharp buzzing sound echoed out.
Though I called it a knife the length of the blade was 50 cm it was closer to being a hatchet.
I then purposefully attacked with a wide swing.
Oi damn elf, I can see it.
The knight I swung at position his sword to receive my knife blow.
He had plenty of leeway and said I can see it with a leisurely smirk.
He probably thought that he could easily block my knife then cut in two. Even if I dodged that I would be surrounded and his allies would finish off.
Shi!
I put in more strength into my blow as I swung.
Then my bladecut through the sword, armor, flesh, and bone of the knight without any resistance.
I had created this knife for Lucy using all my skills in science, alchemy, and magic. I had made it so that it could slice through iron like paper.
Wha?
He couldnt understand it. He died and collapsed to the ground as blood shot out with a foolish look on his face.
