Master Of None

Chapter 607 - 607.Gil's Archery

Walker channeled the earth elemental mana in to the large hammer. He felt the mana circulate through it and could sense the strong surrounding earth elemental mana rush towards him. The mine was deep in the ground and already had strong enough earth elemental mana to spawn a golem. Walker could tell the attack would be more powerful than it normally would be. 

Remey had been waiting to seriously test out the strength she had with her additional levels. She knew the defense breaking palm would be more powerful than any other attack because the golem had a powerful defensive strength. This to her meant that her defense breaking palm could cripple the golem. 

The two used their agility to their maximum to rush in and deliver their attacks. Remey made contact with the golems' leg causing a loud crack. She left a palm sized indent with many small cracks s[ier webbing from it. 

Walker came in at the same time and swung the hammer with his full strength. The sound it made was a gruesome mix of metal gnashing together and a strange broken vibrating metal sound. The hammer struck directly behind where Remey had which warned Remey to back away quickly. 

The earth elemental mana surged from the hammer and caused an unexpected effect. Walker had not expected the earth elemental mana in the hammer to affect the golem. However, since the golem had high earth elemental mana and also was made of silver it was affected. 

The leg shatters in to two pieces and began to warp and twist upon itself as the earth elemental mana forced it to absorb more mana than it normally would have. The group watched as the entire leg became misshapen and was impossible to be stood upon or even repaired in any fashion. 

"My turn!" The king rushed forward and swing the two pick axes together at the other golem leg. At the last moment before contact, the king flicked his wrists and a slight brown light was given off from the pick axes points. Walker could feel the earth elemental mana shift because of this. 

The king's pick axes pierced the golem's other leg like it was warm butter. The golem was still trying to raise its arms fully to swing again but found that it was now falling sideways toward the ground. The leg the king had struck had a massive cut out crater in it and the king had a foot on top of a silver chunk he had just mined from the golem. 

"Gil! You're up!" As the golem fell to the ground with its' arms trying to catch itself Gil began to charge and unleash water elemental wither spike arrows. Unfortunately, the golems' movements were erratic and were breaking the ice as it formed. Gil knew he needed to fire the arrows faster or more. 

With a slight shake, he allowed his instincts to take over and felt two arrows in his hand as he drew the bow back. He let them go with out blinking and reached for more. However, this time he grabbed three and did the same. The thought of aiming disappeared since the rest of the group had retreated and Walker was attempting to manipulate the forming ice in to some form of binding for the arms. 

Gil's adrenaline was higher than ever as he grabbed four arrows at once, something he would never even think he could do, and pulled them back at the same time. He released the arrows and felt a slight breeze at his back as the bow reacted to his feeling. He knew he was not strong enough for such an amazing skill yet but he tried it anyways. 

Again and again, Gil copied this and pulled the arrows back in groups of four. Every single time he felt closer to the bow and the wind around him picked up. The next time he reached he found there were no longer water elemental wither spike arrows to grab. Instead, he pulled out four different prototype arrows without a care to what they did as long as they were water elemental arrows. 

The arrows notched and flew from the bow hitting the last places that ice had not formed around the golem. The wind blew from behind Gil and the arrows burst in to an ice cold aura. Frost covered the entire golem and the ice turned a deeper shade of blue. It became much more solid and arrested the golems movements completely. 

Gil let out a pained breath as he realized his mana was on its last points. He had lost himself to the focus. The bow glowed with green air elemental mana until it slowly faded, yet Gil could sense that something had changed. It was like knowing that someone sleeping next to you had just rolled over without waking up. 

The only other thing that caught his attention while he tried to clear his mind were the skills displayed on his system. He had learned triple shot which he had long wanted. But even more than that there was a skill he had only ever dreamed of having; quad shot. He now believed with his entire being that the multip shot skills were within reach and that one day he would be able to reach higher. He had just been missing the pressure of battle and some levels to get the skills unlocked. 

While Gil wrestled with the exhaustion and shock of seeing the new and unlocked skills Midnight moved in to guard him in his weak state. They were both able to see Walker shoring up the ice around the golem and ever opening a portion of it around the center of the golems' main body so that the king could attack the core. The only issue now were the lord colorless slime tentacles that had peeled themselves from the golems' body.
