Chapter 54
Whoosh!
Merlin shot another arrow. Since the arrow’s flight time was greater than ten seconds, it was impossible to aim at a specific target, especially one that was moving. However…
“Okay. That makes five hits.”
There were 10,000 monsters in the monster corps. As long as he sent an arrow toward their general vicinity, one of them was bound to be hit.
Whoosh!
Soon, a sixth target went down. As he thought about the path that the last arrow took, Merlin checked on his internal energy levels. His internal energy capacity had expanded to 60 points, so he had 30 years of internal energy or half a cycle. Each arrow consumed half a year of internal energy, which meant that so far, Merlin had used three years of internal energy. He currently had 27 years remaining. With this significant amount, Merlin thought that he’d be able to fell another 40 or so monsters, but they weren’t proving to be such simple foes.
“… Hmm.”
Merlin saw his seventh arrow land on a large monster’s arm. While the monsters still hadn’t located Merlin’s position, they knew the direction the arrows were flying from and the frequency of the attacks. With these two pieces of information, they could take cover or raise their defenses to counter the projectiles. Merlin’s arrows were formidable, but they still couldn’t kill large-sized monsters unless the arrow struck their heads or hearts. Of course, small and mid-sized monsters would sustain a critical injury no matter where they got hit, but they had hidden behind the larger monsters long ago.
“Damn it.”
