Chapter 116: Seventh Shot of Victory!
Chapter 116: Seventh Shot of Victory!
What the hell was that? Xavic asked.
Big boss summoned its underlings. Miles panted heavily as he answered. The small spider was looking at Miles warily, while the other one reached Zall and attacked with its legs. Zall deflected the attack easily, but he knew the situation wasnt favorable.
We need to get out.
Give me the spray first. Miles climbed back onto his feet and stumbled towards Zall. He took the spray from him and fell back with the duo. The spiders were firing their arsenal at them, but with a giant shield protecting them, they safely fell back.
In the meantime, hundreds of spiders crawled out of the holes in varying sizes, and moved towards the trio.
What are we going to do? Xavic asked in terror. Too many spiders crawling together was a dreadful sight.
I have an idea. Miles said while changing the sword back to orb form. He removed the bow from his back and removed a couple of arrows from his quiver.
You cant shoot all of them. Xavic cried.
I dont plan to. Miles shook his head and looked at Zall tersely. Can I count on you?
Zall looked at Miles with hesitation and self-hatred, but nodded in the end. What do you need me to do? He asked.
Throw one of the barrels as high as you can when I give you the signal. Miles said and zeroed his gaze at the giant spider summoned all the others.
Coin, what is its rank?
Peak of Grunt!
I thought so.
Spiders, smalls at the front, biggest at the back started to descend from the ceiling with webs. All had two pipes at two sides. At first Miles thought all of them to have the same elemental abilities, but he paid the price of underestimating them.
He nocked an arrow, and raised his bow almost ritually. His feet, legs, arms, back and hands moved in a charm.
It was precisely the first move of Seven Shoots of Victory!
First Shot!
The arrow left the bow with a whizzing sound and fastened upon the eye of a medium size spider.
Second Shot!
Miles sent another arrow at a faster speed, and more velocity. The arrow tore through the brain of another arachnoid. He quickly drew another two arrows from his quiver, and aimed at the big spider at the back.
I need to kill the general!
Third Shot!
Fourth Shot!
Fifth Shot!
Miles fired three arrows in a row. All flew towards the biggest spider at the back. Miles wasnt expecting to kill the spider easily. And as he expected, the spider fired blue fire from both sides of its head. When fire met with arrows, it melted the forged arrows like snow.
SCREECH!
The giant spider cried once again to urge its underlings to move faster. Miles looked at Zall and shouted. NOW!
Zall with resoluteness, threw the barrel high in the sky. I didnt kill them! I just threw the barrel, right. It will not affect the ending at all!.
Sixth Shot! Miles shouted and hit the barrel with the arrow. Arrow collided at one side of the barrel. It wasnt strong enough to penetrate the barrel and only made it spin around itself.
Miles, it wasnt strong enough. That barrel isnt simple. You cant penetrate it with a normal arrow! Xavic exclaimed. Miles ignored him and fished out an orb from his pocket. Coin charged it immediately and an arrow appeared in his hand.
Seventh Shot of Victory!
As soon as Miles shouted, the energy moved from his heart, and filled his arms. The one holding the arrow blazed with light before it moved to the arrow. Fuck, this is going to hurt!
It wasnt normal for energy to move, but it did anyway. Although the Seventh Shot of Victory was devastating, it wasnt enough to move the energy at this scale. All the premoves, could hardly mould energy.
The arrow pierced through the air with record speed, and arrived in front of the spinning barrel. The arrow wasnt strong enough to make a hole in the wood that can contain stomach fluid of Tempest Python. But with the Seventh Shot of Victory, Miles was hoping to make a hole in the barrel.
To his surprise, energy acted on its own and helped him make a stronger attack. The arrow not only passed through the barrel, but exploded from inside. With the help of energy, the barrel shattered into pieces, and stomach acid rained everywhere in the cave.
Fall back! Miles shouted and pulled Zall and Xavic back. The acid dropped on spiders crawling towards them, and made a gruesome hole wherever it touched. Even the strongest spider wasnt an exception. When acid contacted its exoskeleton, it passed through its head like it was just an illusion and dropped to the ground.
In a few seconds, spiders cried in pain, and fell dead on the ground. A few survivors were too occupied to save themselves, and had no time to care about three humans. Miles and others ran out of the cave and waited for a few minutes, while panting heavily.
That wasnt so bad. Xavic said with a smile, but Miles could only roll his eyes. He couldnt even speak. Soon, he lost consciousness. Just before he passed out, he felt energy moving everywhere in his body.
