169 Chapter 169 – Strange lights

Year 5, Summer, Second Month, Second Week

An arrow traveled through the tall trees, almost scratching the trunks on its side, but otherwise, unhindered. The deer’s eyes shift quickly, trying to locate the potential threat, but the arrow was already on it. The magically sharpened metal met little resistance as it carved the beast’s head. Unsurprisingly, instead of mourning their fallen companion, the two remaining beasts instinctively sprinted in the opposite direction.

The approaching hunter crouched to confirm the hit, then continued moving after the fleeing beasts. Strangely, he wasn’t running, only smiling. The beasts ran fast, easily dodging the trees and obstacles. The blessing of wind made their moves as swift as the element itself. A sudden change in the air’s flow caught their attention, but before they could react to it, four arrows reached their bodies. Soon, Tael approached with a satisfied smile.
