A few monts earlier...
In the Desert of Chaos, exactly one kiloter to the east, there was a peculiar place known as the "Ho of Millions of Giant Rocks."
This location earned its unusual na due to the countless enormous desert rocks, each ranging from tens to hundreds of ters in size, forming a small mountain range that extended for tens of kiloters eastward.
This area was also the habitat of fearso desert monsters, ready to attack anyone who dared to venture nearby, making it one of the most forbidden zones in the Desert of Chaos.
anwhile, atop an enormous, towering rock, an extraordinarily beautiful woman stood with an indifferent expression, her blue eyes as captivating as the ocean. Her long black hair was styled in a ponytail with bangs, enhancing her ethereal appearance.
She wore a graceful white war robe adorned with blue patterns, perfectly highlighting her slender, shapely figure, making her resemble a goddess of war descended to punish her enemies.
This woman was none other than Luna Noir, one of humanity's three heroes—the Bow Hero.
At this mont, Luna, with her indifferent and cold expression, remained where she was, as if waiting for sothing.
"Is it still not ti?" Luna muttered under her breath, narrowing her eyes.
In the stillness, she couldn't help but recall her conversation with Natasya from an hour ago.
***
An hour ago...
"Bow Hero Luna, could you spare a mont? There's sothing I need to discuss with you."
Inside the large tent, Luna, poised to swiftly mobilize humanity's troops for the impending battle, halted as a female voice called out from behind her.
Glancing over her shoulder, Luna discerned that the one calling her was Natasya, who had been silent throughout their strategic planning session.
Turning around, Luna nodded slightly and responded in a nonchalant yet casual tone, "Certainly, Natasya. Is there sothing concerning the war that you would like to discuss?"
Although Natasya remained silent throughout the discussion, Luna bore no resentnt toward her.
After all, given that she and Valen were the primary generals and leaders in this war, it would be inappropriate for her to express any frustration toward Natasya, who served as a supporting general.
Natasya gave a small nod and directed her gaze towards the Chaos Desert Map on the table, her expression conveying both indifference and seriousness.
"Bow Hero Luna, I have a strategy that I believe rits consideration," Natasya said in a light tone before turning her gaze to Luna. "Would you like to hear it?"
Luna was surprised by Natasya's sudden proposition and felt a hint of confusion as to why it hadn't been ntioned during their previous discussion.
However, she didn't dwell on it, realizing that Natasya likely had her reasons for withholding it earlier.
With a slight nod, Luna approached Natasya and replied, "Please proceed."
Natasya lowered her gaze back to the map and elaborated, "The plan I want to propose pertains to your role in this war, Bow Hero Luna."
"Pertaining to ?" Luna raised her eyebrows, surprise evident on her face.
"Yes, it pertains to you," Natasya confird with a slight nod before continuing: "As we're aware, your unmatched long-range attack capability is crucial in this war. However, given the scale of this conflict, your role as a long-range attacker with powerful firepower is both strategic and challenging to fully harness."
"Therefore, I've devised a strategy to keep you from directly engaging on the battlefield. Instead, you'll be positioned where you can utilize the Celestial Frost Holy Bow from a distance, thereby enhancing our advantage in securing victory."
"Moreover, being stationed away from the center of the battlefield allows you to initiate the first strike, signaling the comncent of the battle. What are your thoughts on this?"
Listening to this, Luna's expression instantly froze, and she gazed at Natasya with a sense of astonishnt.
'What a brilliant strategy! How did this not occur to ?' Luna took a deep breath, lightly tapping her forehead with a hint of annoyance.
As Natasya had astutely pointed out, her most potent attack stemd from her long-range capabilities, particularly with her holy weapon, the Celestial Frost Heaven Holy Bow.
Despite the vastness of the battlefield, Luna realized she would be sowhat restricted in unleashing her full power due to the confined space and the multitude of human and demon troops converging for battle.
If Natasya's strategy were put into action, not only would she have the freedom to attack unhindered, but it could also significantly bolster their chances of triumph in this war!
Luna couldn't help but sigh, acknowledging that she still had much to learn from Natasya when it ca to implenting warfare strategies.
Taking a deep breath and offering a slight nod, Luna fixed Natasya with a determined gaze, her blue eyes reflecting her resolve.
"Very well, let's proceed with your plan!"
***
"Hah~" Luna snapped out of her reverie, slowly opening her eyes, their beautiful blue glow shining.
At that mont, a woman's voice echoed in her ear—none other than Natasya's.
"Bow Hero Luna, you can start!"
Startled by the sudden voice, Luna flinched slightly before nodding with a determined expression, responding in a firm tone, "Very well, I'll comnce!"
*Whoosh!*
Suddenly, a white-colored star mark with a burning white light appeared on Luna's forehead, and her blue eyes, as beautiful as the ocean, began emitting a bright white light.
*Boom!*
Simultaneously, the holy power within her surged like a trendous tsunami wave before erupting into the sky like a raging dragon.
As a result, the once bright and scorching sky was shrouded in darkness, with black clouds swiftly gathering and the temperature plumting within a two-kiloter radius.
Extending her right hand to the side, Luna exclaid loudly in an indifferent tone, "Answer my call, Holy Bow of Celestial Frost!"
*Buzz!*
In Luna's right hand, a dazzlingly bright blue light suddenly materialized, slowly coalescing into a long, ice-blue bow of exquisite beauty.
As the Holy Bow of Celestial Frost materialized in her hand, Luna wasted no ti, swiftly assuming a ready-to-attack position.
*Buzz!*
Drawing back the string of the Celestial Frost Holy Bow, Luna summoned a bright blue arrow with a terrifying aura, causing the space within five hundred ters to warp insanely.
Holding the arrow for a few monts, Luna finally released it with a loud shout, "Hero Technique: Arrow of Destruction—Unleash!"
*Whoosh!*
The arrow soared upwards with terrifying speed, cracking and freezing the space it traversed, instilling fear in anyone who beheld its path.
Witnessing the arrow's disappearance, Luna didn't quell the turmoil of her holy power; instead, she continued to maintain it while muttering, "With this, the war officially comnces!"
