Chapter 33-Chaos(4)(Edited)
The third round had begun. This time, there were a total of 8 humanoids that had appeared: 4 of them carrying swords, 2 of them spears, and the other 2 unarmed just like before.
"Damn it, looks like I have to start using mana spells."
The moment all 8 of them appeared, they started running towards me. Taking 2 arrows, I placed them on the bow and applied two spells to it, {haste} and {penetration}. After that, I fired both the arrows. The first one traveled so fast that it pierced both the unarmed humanoids in a blink, while the second arrow traveled to the armed swordsmen, where the first one got pierced, and the second swordsman lost an arm.
Just as I finished firing the arrows, one of the spear holders threw a spear at me. Dodging it, I was greeted with the sight of a humanoid waving another spear at me. Dodging it, I put a bit of distance between me and them. At the same time, I took out a small throwing knife from my pocket, imbued a bit of mana into it, and threw it at the now armless humanoid, who directly lost its life.
Now I was surrounded by 2 swordsmen and 2 spear-wielding humanoids who had started to surround me. And before they could do anything, I blasted a smoke bomb in my place, covering everything with smoke.
As I was covered with smoke, I activated my eyes of truth. As my eyes were covered with gold and black, I could see the small green and red dots on the 4 humanoids surrounding me. This was something that I had found out recently. Not only can I use the eyes of truth to see sensitive spots, but also their weaknesses. As soon as I activated it, I took out an arrow and fired it at a spear-holding humanoid, who died directly. Meanwhile, I got hurt by one of the swordsmen who just slashed at random.
"Bastard!"
Directly taking out 3 arrows, I added {haste} and {blast} to them, which directly blasted the other 3 humans.
The spectators watched as the smoke subsided, showing a mildly hurt Austin.
"Austin!"
"Big brother!"
Hearing my sisters call, I looked towards them and saw their worrying faces. But I just gave them a reassuring smile, while I hid my nervousness inside. And like that, the next 5 minutes passed quickly.
As the bell rang for the 4th round, this time, 12 figures appeared: 4 swordsmen, 4 spearmen, 2 unarmed, and 2 bowmen.
"Damn it, the long-range was my specialty. Looks like it's compromised."
"Looks like it's time to get serious."
Thinking so, I took out an arrow. I then gathered most of my mana into it. Looking, I could see the bowmen arranging their arrows and the rest running towards me.
"Take this, you bastards!"
"{Arrows fall}!"
Saying so, I fired the arrow with all my mana. The arrow flew out of the bow, at the same time it was divided into thousands of arrows, raining upon them. Within minutes, all of them were killed. After that, I sat on the floor.
"Ha...ha...ha...wow, it really is a crazy move!"
Most of my mana and strength were taken away with that move, but it's not much of a problem. Smiling, I brought a container from the system and it was quickly delivered to my hands:
[
Item: The Rejuvenation
Description: A potion made by the potion master Markas
Uses: By ingesting it, all your mana and injuries will be healed
Cost: 3000
]
This is one of the reasons for my confidence. As long as I fire the spell continuously like this and drink this portion, I might pass this trial.
Without any delay, I quickly drank it. Suddenly, I felt all the stress and pain leave me, and my lost mana filling me up. After that, I sat up in meditation to regain my focus, and like that, 5 minutes went just like that.
Just as the bell rang, figures started to appear, and this time, there were 20 figures: 4 swordsmen, 4 spearmen, 4 bowmen, 4 unarmed, and 4 mages.
"The hell? Did I miss a level or what?"
While I was in my world, all 20 heads turned towards me. Their eyes, which were their only distinguishing feature, were shining as they looked at me. Seeing their eyes, I got goosebumps on my body. Just as I was planning to continue my same tactics, the 4 mages raised their hands and started chanting. Just as I was about to disrupt them, several arrows fell from the sky.
"Shit!"
Seeing that there was no way to dodge, I quickly created a barrier and hardened my body. Several of the spells fell on the barrier, while the rest scratched my body. Just as the spells finished, arrows, swords, and spears greeted me, and I could hear my sisters shouting.
"Fuck! So you wanna play dirty?"
"System, buy me 5 of the frost, flame, chaos, and void arrows now!"
[Request heard...processing request.]
[Ding!]
[Items brought, 100,000 points withdrawn.]
Hearing this, my heart bled. So many points are gone just like that. As I was inwardly crying, different arrows started to show up in my quiver.
Without hesitation, I pulled the frost arrow:
[
Item: Frost Arrow
Description: An arrow made by the great blacksmith Loki
Uses: It's an AOE-based arrow, which once fired, blocks your enemies in ice for 10 seconds
Cost: 5000
]
Distancing myself from the attacks, I drew two frost arrows, added {multiply} to them, and fired. The 2 arrows were quickly divided into 6 arrows landing in different areas. In a second, the battlefield became a frozen land in which all of them were frozen.
Wasting no time, I quickly brought in my remaining mana, brought out a normal arrow, and quickly fired {arrows fall}, instantly breaking the ice and killing all the enemies. After that, I sat on the floor. Currently, I have some broken ribs and am bleeding from several areas. I can still hear my sisters shouting.
