Chapter 1599 1599. Tandem

"Nothing about them sounds good. They are too large and poisonous?" Gil had a hard time believing that they were about to face a swarm of bugs that could stop them in their tracks. These things were clearly going to be a lot of trouble.

"Well, you wanted to know what the monster was that made the tearing falcon's feathers yellow. Now you have them. But let's start to help. Can you hit them with an arrow from here? Or do you need a boost?" Walker had a feeling that Gil could fire an arrow close to where the soldiers were retreating from the cloud of assassin jackets. But it would be rough actually hitting the monsters.

"If you can help add some fire to the wind, I should be good. We can use a fire and wind arrow in the same shot, with you boosting the elemental mana then we should reach with a decent attack." Gil had come up with the idea some time ago but had not had the chance to train with a mage.

Arcane archery was a mix of physician and magical attacks. Many people were jealous of this. However, there was a challenge in mixing the two. Gil had to focus on this every single day so that he would be able to be the best arcane archer he could be without causing a magical issue or just firing a pointless only physical arrow.

"Then let's try this," Gil took out a fire and a wind arrow. This was a combination he had used to boost the fire damage when the arrows landed together. It was more challenging but it would be worth it. But with the boost from Walker, Gil was sure that they would do major damage to the swarm of assassin jackets heading after the soldiers.

"The distance between them and the monsters has grown, now is the chance while they are gaining space." Walker had already focused on the wind and the fire elemental mana in the air. It was gathering behind Gil waiting for the right moment.

Walker and Gil had spent enough time together that they didn't need to say much. Just a look or a turn of the head was enough to match their heartbeats. To begin combining the mana that Gil was using to push the arrow along even faster.

This on the top of the deck hesitated when they saw the brilliant bust of twirling flames form around the pair. They had not expected that they would be attacking from such a long distance. Even the mages and snipers were unable to fire from such a distance. It was very rare that a marksman of this caliber was able to walk the earth. Many tales would be told if this arrow hit and no one wanted to miss it happening.

'The skill tandem archery had been taken from the system. The users Gil and Walker have both gained half the skill of tandem archer.

Tandem archer- mana cost variable based on the users.

The twin archers famous for creating this skill have gone down in elven history. Between them, one was gifted in the creation of arrows made of elemental mana while the other was a perfect marksman. Together they became the twin archers that could fire devastating elemental arrows.

This skill allows two beings to form arrows while taking aim. Both of their manas are taken to fuel the arrows that can do double the damage of a normal arcane arrow. The skill comes with the requirement that the two are extremely close and can speak without words. Training a relationship to this level is not as easy as many would imagine.

The two will be able to better harness elemental mana to create arrows that attack from a distance when together. They will have fewer chances of creating an explosion of mana before they fire the arrow. They have less chance of destroying the arrow that is their medium.'

The system had given the two of them a new skill that sounded more emotional than anything. But it was fitting. Unfortunately, Gil and Walker had no idea they had received a skill that was helping them create their attack even better than before.

The mana surged behind Gil and Walker struggled to hold it back. The change had been dramatic but perfect for Gil to know that it was time to release the mana he had held back with the arrow.

The flames were perfectly mixed with the wind in a single breath. Gil let the arrows slip away in to the sky. The brilliant fire arced through the air making everyone aboard the ship look up as if they were seeing a small comet.

Wind whipped around the ship before the arrow made its way behind the running soldiers. "It should be now."

"Agreed, now." Walker and Gil shared just these words before the arrows landed together in the center of the assassin jacket swarm.

It felt like time had stopped for just a second before a large burst of flames and winds whipped the assassin jackets in to oblivion. They had either been burned too severely to move or the wind had sliced in to their bodies.

The soldiers on the river bank had halted after realizing that their enemies had turned in to less than ten enemies. The entire swarm had nearly been defeated with a single pair of arrows. "I can't say we will do that a lot, but nice job." Gil held out a fist to Walker to bump. He was impressed with what they had done but even more with the speed at which they had done it.

There had been a feeling of power that flowed through him when he had let the wind and fire arrows out of his hand. As if there was more than just wind and fire elemental mana coursing through the arrows. All Gil could guess was that there was a little natural mana that had mixed in to smooth out the elemental mana's bonds.

"That was a lot more than I thought it would be. But since we're brothers, I don't know what I would have expected. Shall we go down and help them out?" Walker felt that he and Gil had long been closer than just party members. Many times they had said they were family or brothers. Their new skill had highlighted this. It had given them another way to work together to deal with tougher opponents.

"I would say they are waiting to see just who caused them a shock like that. A sudden boom of flames and wind? I would have some questions." Gil laughed a little as Walker used the elemental dragon wings to make a simple pair of wind wings to carry them down to the river bank where the group of soldiers were fighting the last of the assassin jackets.

It was a fight that was complete before they had even set foot back on the earth. However, they had easily drawn the attention of the elf captain that led the group. "Thank you for the help. We seem to have disturbed a large nest. This is only a small group of what we saw up ahead. We need to stop the ship."

"Well, we didn't expect that." Gil was stunned. There were so many defeated assassin jackets on the ground behind the captain and his soldiers. Yet, he was saying that there were many more ahead on a large nest.

"I don't know why we would be surprised. This is just how our luck goes. But I will ask you this, if there are so many, what do you think we will find?" This question tempted Gil a lot.

The idea that a massive nest of poisonous monsters was up ahead meant that there would be rare materials for arrows. But even more, there might be a reason that they made such a large nest there. One that had gone beyond what was normal for their species. All this together meant that those on the ship would be receiving valuable supplies that they could take to the ocean for defense.

"I am going to be making a lot of arrows with the elves." Walker laughed a little. He knew that Gil was not going to let him off the hook.

"You can worry about that after we clean up here and report this to Scylla. We might have to stop the ship and lead an attack ahead of the ship to avoid the swarm attacking the ship completely." Gil and Walker continued like this as they cleaned up the remains of the monsters. Walker was already building an attack plan on a larger hive of assassin jackets to offer to Scylla when they returned to the ship.
