Chapter 9 - A snap, A smack, and A boom

the snap of a twig had awoken Arius from His light slumber. There in the cave entrance, a sturdy-looking silhouette stood backlight by the moonlight. Said silhouette was unmistakably a goblin.

"Well, this has never happened." Arius's odd calm shocked Sholu, who was planning to kill Arius in his sleep.

"I am Sholu, champion of Orbiz, die by my blade!" Sholu screamed this battle cry in a subconscious attempt to reassure himself. But with no opening chit-chat, Arius had Already pulled out his bow and knocked an arrow.

Sholu had never fought someone with a bow. No goblin or animal in this forest had seen a bow without being hunted as food or by adventurers as money.

Due to this inexperience, Sholu Charged forward in a straight manner toward a fully drawn Arius.

Thwip~... Smack

Arius's arrow had found an easy target, Sholu." hey Arius does Champion mean something different in this specific Danmachi?" what had also found its target was the confusion in Arius.

" I do believe not. But could be wrong"

"Well, time to set our plan in motion"

Around an hour later Arius was overlooking the front of a Goblin village, the only goblin village he knew of, ready to complete his mission and help the nearby farming villages.

"One, two, three,- five goblins out front. One big boom coming right up!"

At this point, arius had been prepared. After realizing how cost-efficient arrow bombs were, they were not, he had bought just arrows and four bombs, or more specifically world war 2 anti-tank mines. After such reorganization of his resources, his SP came to a nice and even 350 SP.

Now Arius would be the using one of the two

anti-tank mines left tied to the shaft of an arrow to hit his unsuspecting victims sum 20 feet bellow

Bang, a cloud of smoke came after an ear rupturing sound pulling all attention to the explained area.

With such a loud sound so close chief Orbiz came out yelling goblin profanity that would come out to something like "what in fucking shit-holes 9th Layer was that?" If translated to English the best one possibly can.

"Bonus round bro, how fats can I kill the chief goblin."

"6 seconds. Easy Shot"

Arius had another arrow already set all he had to do was arm the last mine. By the time the arrow was released from the string of Arius's bow, it had only been 3 seconds, within 2 seconds of travel time later a large crater could be seen where not only the chief was but a few others as well.

Or that was what was supposed to happen. In reality, unlike in Arius's head, gravity makes arrows go in an arc, making the supposed 'Easy shot' not so easy.

"That... Wasn't supposed to happen" Arius said while knocking another arrow on the bow, just like last time. *without the bomb strapped to the arrow, it should hit the chief*

And it didn't miss. It went right across the air, in a beautiful arc, and hit the chief in his left shin, deeply imbedding itself into his leg.

("get him you fools") the goblin chief Orbiz shouted frantically after realizing the danger of the situation

Many goblins picked up stones, or spears, and started to throw them at Arius, omitting their aim quite badly.

Arius ain't stop after seeing his first two fails and tried another. *this one will surely hit!... Right?*

And it did hit Orbiz the now dead goblin chief, or his corpse that is.
