Not Affected by the Arrows

The three arrows flew toward Stark with incredible speed, their beautiful trails of aura adorning the air around them.

Their tips were as sharp as swords and glowed with a malevolent energy.

Stark, however, didn't seem to be fazed at all, his eyes were locked onto his target, his expression determined and unwavering.

~FWISH~

He avoided the first arrow quite easily, then the second, and finally the third.

"AURA SMASH!" then this time, without merging his fists, he sent all three toward Aoki.

But it was no use…

~DODGE, DODGE, DODGE~

Aoki's speed was still way higher than Stark's, and there was no chance a projectile would hit him.

~DASH~

Knowing that, Stark closed the distance between the two, allowing him to fight with Aoki on close-range, something an archer should never do.

But the moment he reached him…

~VIOU, BAM~

He was hit by an arrow from behind.
