Chapter 395 Don.
An open area, a giant strange stone gate with strange carvings on one side, a gorgeous girl fighting undead creatures and a lich fighting live creatures in front of the gate, six cave endings on the other side of this door, and bright magical light on the walls illuminating the whole area.
This was the stage where the boy with gold-like hair and red eyes entered and shocked all undead creatures present with his white bow...
Undead creatures were innately afraid of the light attribute. But, they were frightened of the higher version of this attribute.
They are always wary of those possessing the light attribute, but these same creatures, these undead, wouldn't even want to approach the ones possessing the holy attribute.
Their innermost consciousness screamed to just run away at the sight of this certain high attribute.
And right now, as soon as he took out his white bow, the atmosphere among the undead creatures throughout the area had become something similar.
They were frightened of this strange thing, this strange light that was far stronger than the normal light they were aware of, and they knew they wouldn't be able to endure if this strange light so much as even touched them.
Every one of the strong undead that felt this strange new presence stopped their offensive toward the lich and Rein and shivered with fear.
Don. He wasn't something as good as the other favorite bows among his partners, but this specific one had a special use that it was best in. And by best, he actually meant THE best.
Made with special materials with light and holy attributes, with the core of an angel's condensed essence, made by his master's, a divine creature's own hands, and enhanced with not one but three [Crystals of life], this bow was one of its kind.
His master used to call this one one of her best works and certainly, this bow was worthy of that title.
It was made to only be used against the undead. And that was its only function. The projectiles shot from this bow couldn't even touch the creatures who had a life... yes, they could definitely heal them, but that would be disadvantageous in a fight against enemies.
The bow enhanced their master's light attribute, granted this enhanced light attribute or more like the (White light) attribute to the arrows, and decreased the overall resource consumption.
It didn't have any great skills and had disadvantages like being unable to hit an alive creature and a high intake of Solnova, but for undead... this bow was nemeses.
"KHAAAAAAA!"
And the frightened voices that could only contain their instinctive fear were the sign that the undead, who usually shouldn't have any emotions, had fallen into the state of fear just by being in the presence of this bow.
And the undead in this area weren't the only ones frightened by this weird, dangerous weapon.
[< That thing...! >]
The evil spirit watching this fight from the room behind the gates was also shocked.
It could feel better than the lowly undead present outside the gates that this bow, this dangerous weapon, was something that even someone like itself would get hurt with!
The whole tomb was its territory and the strange weapon that this small boy with the power of light summoned was something that almost made the evil spirit noxious.
It was a fearful thing, and the evil spirit definitely didn't want to be hit by the arrows fired by this particular bow. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
It was bad... the situation, as well as the fact that it underestimated the intruder and, in particular, the small boy.
He had the power of light, but now that the evil spirit thought about it, this small boy who was just a young child had defeated many of its toys with ease and was now holding a weapon that induced primal fear in even its great self.
He was a dangerous presence and someone who most probably had some blessing of a bastard god or something to have such powerful light energy.
The evil spirit watching from its coffin room was certain that was the case... but then, the evil spirit noticed something strange.
Something that it had neglected all this time...
[< He has darkness too...? >]
There was a considerable presence of darkness, pure, deep darkness, inside this boy... something impossible!
[< How can this be?! No! It's wrong! It's... no. Wait... light, darkness... fire? Water, earth, and wind too...? This...! >]
Only now the evil spirit noticed this.
This boy, this small boy who had the power of light and a weird and dangerous weapon... the light wasn't his only power.
He was someone who was blessed by all six major elements. Just like that small furball the evil spirit had killed in the past.
And this thing... it wasn't just unbelievable for the evil spirit... this fact threw the spirit into great chaos!
...on the other hand, as soon as Eon appeared with his lizardman champion, Rein's lich, Morris, couldn't help his shock and admiration.
[ "Master that..." ]
He was fighting with hobgoblins, creatures that looked somewhat like normal goblins but at the same time had a tough physique similar to a troll or orc.
They were strong creatures, and he was fighting them with his darkness attribute spells as well as plant undead, creatures that had humanoid figures, different flower heads, and long whip-like thorny wines as their weapons and shield.
He was controlling six of these undead creatures that he had created with his own hard-grown plants, but that wasn't important right now. The new person, this being that seemed as special as his master... maybe more, had captivated him.
"Yup! He's my dear darling~!" she shouted while cutting off another skeleton knight with her light-covered scythe.
There was a unique expression on her face that told him that this new person was far more special to her than she was to him.
And he could most definitely agree with those emotions. This person was most certainly special...
[ "He has the power to use all six elements... something one would say is unfortunate, but this person... he's special. Far more special than one can think.
Not only the attributes that he possesses are in perfect harmony, but instead of the overall affinity value decreasing or shifting toward one particular attribute, his one increases, multiples, and most probably increases as a whole!
It's fascinating!
The light and darkness he possesses are something amazing too~!" ]
She smiled as he said those things, and she definitely liked those words. Her darling was definitely the most special. He was so special that if the lich wants to follow him instead of her, she wouldn't mind...
Though the lich had already made his decision and he wasn't going to change, even if a divine creature of darkness asked him. This one with the blessing of all six attributes? Well... there were already some problems with him.
[ "His darkness is certainly so pure that… it's frightening. And though it's pure, it's not as great as yours, master.
Your darkness is like a black ocean. Wast, pure, and endless, while his darkness is like a well of fresh water. Certainly full of water, but endlessly deep. As if... the abyss.
It's admirable but also fearful... but the more strange thing is the light that coexists with it.
A light so bright, so pure, so independent and warm... it's like seeing the sun itself.
I don't know how it is possible for these two particular natures of elements to exist together and still be harmonized, but I know one thing... I definitely wouldn't want to follow someone like him.
Not because he isn't a proper master, but... because his light as well as darkness isn't something I'm looking for.
Master is best because you are perfect... and I mean it.
Your partner is definitely someone who will find better creatures than me and I would definitely want to learn from him but, you would be the only one I want to serve, and you should also know that by now." ]
"You are crazy~! But I like those words so you are ok for now! And Yes~! He definitely is amazing~! He-... ohh! His Don! I will be able to breathe comfortably now~!"
This was the moment he took out the white bow light for them... and as soon as the lich sensed the bow and saw it with his own eyes, the fear and strange feeling he got from him increased exponentially!
[ "That thing..." ]
Just like other undead in this area, he was afraid of this bow... but unlike them; he was a unique undead who held true human emotions.
He was afraid, but bounced back easily and looked to the side at his master, almost failing to block the attack from the goblin coming from the left!
-Kaaaaaaa!
-Clank! Whiiiiipt!
Thankfully, his undead plant soldier with a gray flower head took care of it.
Rein was confused by this sudden reaction, but she suddenly realized that her first-ever slave-, first-ever follower was an undead himself.
She knew that he was alright, and that was considering her knowledge of just how amazing that weapon was against the undead, so her smile widened as she answered him, "Hmm~. It is a weapon to go against undead beings, one of that bastard's many awesome weapons. Amazing, right~?"
He was shocked just how she described a divine artifact that simply. And from how she said 'one of his amazing weapons'... he didn't even want to guess how rice his master's partner was.
Anyway...
He was also surprised by the person that came with him.
He knew him very well. Too well, actually. Their entire tribe was angry at him after all...
He knew handling him after things were over would be difficult, but, well, for now, in the situation where they were surrounded by enemies, they couldn't do anything. Not to each other, at least.
He was safe for now and he had a duty to follow, so he focused his attention on the enemies.
But just before he was going to divert his attention from the white bow in his hand, he saw the bastard ghost move from his place!
All the undead were afraid, but that ghost regained his senses and vanished from his place...
This was a ghost. A strong undead. And this particular one... was especially strong.
'Three eyes.'
============
[Ghost]
Strength: 131
Dexterity: 98
Stamina: 125
Magic Power: 129
Intelligence: 51
[ Skills: Possession, Life drain, Ethereal, Telekinesis, Fear control, Flight, Power of cursing, Death grip, Soul shield. ]
---> A strong ghost... well, finish him quickly without many long words. He is nothing before cool Don, anyway.
============
And he agreed with the words of his dear eyes.
The opponent was just a ghost.
-Shim. Shim. Shim.
A ghost that can erase its ethereal body and confuse the opponent while observing them and gauging their strength.
-Kaaaakt.
But this power had no meaning before eyes that can see through these 'special' abilities.
The white bow had an angel's wing-like design that could attract anyone's attention and as he pulled back its string with three arrows arranged on the bow, he looked no less attractive than the bow itself.
He was like the protagonist of a novel just before using an amazing new ability that would shock the readers... maybe that was actually true.
There were three arrows with golden patterns on his bow right now, arrows that strangely gathered the light particles around them, and the arrows themselves were covered with a strange white light.
It was strange, but the ghost that was appearing and disappearing so suddenly was giving a sense of despair to even the lich who knew the concept of an ethereal body.
It would be impossible to hurt an ethereal body, so Eon had to perfectly aim at him when he was actually present in this world's normal state.
The lich was worried that he would miss that small moment and would get hurt by the curse skills of the ghost, but his master, who was at more ease now, wasn't worried one bit.
In fact, the lizardman who came with him and was fighting the monsters here after his berserk skill duration was over also had unnaturally great confidence in his master.
Their strange confidence was something unfathomable to him, someone who mostly only knew about the darkness and magic. And that was even more reason for his great shock over the thing that happened in the course of the next few moments.
-Swish! Swish! Swish!
He released the arrows, and they moved in a straight line with nothing in their path.
It was strange because the ghost was actually on the other side at the moment when the arrows left his bowstring but... even more strange thing was that the arrows, which fundamentally should just move in a straight line, took a strange curve and appeared on precisely at the point where the ghost appeared the next moment!
-Pachak!
"Khaaaaaa!"
The arrows covered by bright white light pierced the ghost's head, middle and lower body in a straight line and as soon as the arrows, which actually passed through him were gone, three strange white holes appeared in the places where the arrows had struck...
The holes of white light were brighter than its gray body and these three parallel holes were something like three strong arrows that were pierced through the bodies of weak people for this ghost!
It was a strange sight but the ghost, after being hit by these arrows, fell to the ground, and its body, which was affected by the (White light) started emitting a strange black smoke as it turned to the particles of light.
... f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
"Let's start..." And that was the point where Eon truly started using the bow for what it was meant for.
-Kadank.
-Kaaaaaakt.
There was a silver quiver on his back, full of arrows. He was using his Solnova to handle the white bow, so using spell arrows with them was not necessary.
His bow gave the white light to all the arrows shot by it, so all he had to do now was...
'Long-range sniping: Multi-kill!'
It was a sight to behold because, while standing on the other side of the battlefield and still seeing it as a whole with his third eye, Eon started shooting arrows.
Simple arrows covered by the white light attribute that precisely went towards the undead creatures hindering the lich and his friend.
-Swish! Swish! Swish!
He used one to three arrows depending on the target of killing, as the undead also ranged from (Red) to (Green) rank over there, so he had to use appropriate forces.
-Swish! Swish!
But one thing was true: every time he took out the arrow from behind him and shot it with a clean movement...
-Swish...!
-Cruuuumb!
-Trrrrrr...
-Clankkk... thum.
Every time the sound of an arrow moving through the air was heard, the sound of a skeleton body blasting and their bones scattering on the ground, a zombie body falling to the ground, or the sound of the armor the knights and soldiers were wearing falling to the ground was heard.
-Swish. Swish. Swish.
-Thump. Clank! Thruuuuuum.
And the fight that only the two of them were having, the undead that were far greater in number, were now decreasing in tens with each passing second.
As she said... she could breathe now that he was here now.
