Heaven's Crossbow

As long as he was gifted a weapon from his summon, he could store it within his own soul…

"With this, I could even snipe some others out," Rem said and whipped the Crossbow in the direction of a man standing on a tree.

He was watching the battle unfold below and letting his guard down… something that Rem incredibly hated- He might be a little kid but he was dangerous.

His learning capabilities were unmatched by children of his age- he had made his first street robbery when he was 9… his childhood had been anything but proper but he learned how to fend for himself on the streets and that was when his mind became- advanced.

He focused his line of sight on the head of the man and lifted the crossbow to match his vision, a golden aura burst to life around the Crossbow as Rem poured enough MP to create an arrow- the short arrow was created and Rem released his hand from the trigger, letting the arrow zip through the air at an alarming rate.

'Where the hell is Adrian and his bow,' The boss of the bandits thought as he dodged yet another one of Drew's slashes.

There were no openings in the form of this Cavalier and he was made aware of it the hard way, Drew's combat style didn't allow any openings for him to pierce and attack so he needed Adrian's intervention as a distraction to find an opening in Drew's form and kill him.

'Then I can think of ransacking him as well as finding the Kid,' He thought only to see a golden burst of light crossing through the air.

"Finally," He muttered under his breath but watched as the arrow passed over Drew's head and instead was heading toward a bandit- standing on a tree branch.

'Adrian never misses,' He thought as the arrow shot through the air and pierced the head of it's target, the arrow nestled deeply as the bandit slumped over and fell to the ground, a pool of blood adorning his figure.

Although the battlefield was silent, a state of discord raged inwardly as multiple golden arrows shot through the air, finding their targets and hitting them in the head.

'Did Adrian betray us?' The boss thought.

Adrian was an E-grade Archer, despite that- he had great instincts, great hearing and not to mention his shooting abiltiies.

But this one was different, this person was hitting everyone in their heads- it was well-known that the human head was the weakest point in the entire human body… it was the base of all operations, it was where the brain resided and this gave commands to the human body. Once it went down, it was instant death.

Adrian despite being a good archer wasn't quite skilled enough to land a heat shot, nevertheless multiple head shots… the person with the bow was a professional.

The boss threw himself back into the battle as he found black bolts of lightning shooting out of Drew's body, coating his Magic Iron sword in a powerful aura.

'C-Convergence?'

'He's a D-grade cavalier, Convergence is C-grade and above!'

Drew moved forward, encased within the violent bolts of lightning and vanished from the Boss's sight instantly. A slicing sound filled the air as Drew reappeared behind the man, the black lightning around him vanishing as he tucked his sword within it's sheath.

"F- fuck!"

The man cried out as his body was instantly split in half, black sparks of lightning vibrating at the intersection of the slash as both halves fell to the ground.

Drew then turned to look at the other Bandits, only to find the rest of them had been killed by golden arrows which were etched within their brains.

Rem smiled in satisfaction as the Heaven's Crossbow turned into a green ball of energy and shot back into his chest, The Goblin returned to Rem's side and kneeled once again- acknowledging Rem as it's ruler and subconsciously Rem's eyes released a deep green glow as he waved at the Goblin.

"Your efforts have been admired, you shall be rewarded the next time you are summoned," Rem said and the Goblin gave a small nod as it returned to the world below.

Rem sighed as he walked alongside Drew who was caressing the Beastkin girl affectionately and his cheeks puffed out.

'He's far too affectionate with a girl that could be the potential enemy,' Rem thought.

There was a chance that those weren't the only bandits that existed here, and there was also a chance that she could be affiliated with other bandits as well and this was also a plan-

Or perhaps he was being too paranoid… Nah, he wasn't, he was just being preferably cautious and this was the way he liked it- being suspicious of everyone was his nature.

Rem skidded to a stop as Drew decided for the next point of their camp, he silently hoped that this place didn't have any bandits-

"Rem, be nice to Krista," Drew said and Rem turned to the beastkin girl.

'So her name's Krista, huh? Kinda suspicious,' Rem thought and stroked his chin.

The girl met his gaze and her cheeks lit up in a small crimson blush as she averted her eyes much to Rem's surprise, he expected a beastkin descendant to at least have more confidence in herself but he guessed wrong-

'That makes it all the more suspicious,' Rem finalized as he smashed his palms together, alarming Krista and Drew.

"Making a tent out here in the forest with monsters, Do you think it's proper?" Rem asked Drew as he pointed to the trees, "A tent on the ground would be like asking for suicide, I think it's better to get on trees and try to sleep there,"

Nowhere in the forest was in reality safe but the trees were safer than the ground at this point, besides what was this feeling he was getting? His soul was restless for some reason, like something was gnawing at the back of his mind- something powerful.

"Will you be able to stay atop a tree?" Drew asked and Rem shrugged.

"There's a first time for everything, isn't there?" Rem suggested and smiled.
