Chapter 283 - Mass Destruction

'If I take care of this right, I might be able to finish this faster than expected…'

It had only been a little over 15 minutes that I had arrived at this base, yet it seemed like the chances of me losing were only shrinking away, but…

'Only if I do it right.'

Considering the number of the demons of the army heading towards me, it would be nothing but fantasy if I wanted to continue using the double tap elemental arrow method to pick up demons of this number…

In fact, it wouldn't long before I would get surrounded, and possibly having to rely on a power burst of some sort to massacre my way out. Well, if I did use my speed, it might not be impossible to pick out the demons in the army using the double tap elemental arrow method, but the main problem would be that I would have to basically overdraw my elements from the long hours of fighting that I would have to engage in, as if I was some guerilla tactical unit member…

As such, it was obvious that I couldn't just squander my elements around, while my elemental capacity was at least three times the average elemental practitioners, but that was it, I wasn't ane endless storage of elements, and while I coul recover it relatively easy from the atmosphere, it would take some time and relaxed concentration, which meant I couldn't do elemental recovery sessions at least till the end of the fight, so…

'I need to take care of them all at once, or at least take a big chunk of them out.'

That was obviously the best way to get rid of this ordeal quickly without reaching the point of exhaustion, as long as I didn't put all my elements into it, then my changes of wiping out the rest of the survivors later was almost 100%

Storing the crossbows away for now so that they wouldn't form an obstacle in my shooting, I immediately changed the form of the 'Lightning Cloud Halberd' in my hand…

[ Item skill 'Transformation' activated! ]

[ 'Lightning Cloud' has changed into the 'Bow' phase and adapted the (Longbow) form! ]

While I was quite a bit more familiar with using the sword and the bow for most of the time before 'Lightning Cloud' grew to its current state, it was the first time that I was actually using the longbow form of 'Lightning Cloud', the main reason I was using it instead of my familiar normal bow was obviously due to the elemental veins it contained.

I was kind of unsure about whether the veins would actually be that effective with long ranger weapons such as bows, but I had quite the high hopes for that.

Imbuing thunder elements into the bow, I started activating the vein as planned while adding in a good amount of Arrow Ki, like the 'Thunder Style, Arrow Rain' actually worked, as I started creating thunder arrows at an increased pace, trying to make sure I would at least take out the bigger half of the demon army that seemed to be close to one thousand in number…

The last touch I added was actually something new that I wanted to try as I reached the 3rd elemental stage, and that was adding up some lightning support to the thunder arrows…

I started by also activated the lightning vein of the bow as I started to replace the tails of thunder arrows with those made of lighting elements, this way, while it might not boost the damaging effect of the arrow directly, the velocity increase should be able to do that in a roundabout way!

'Improved Thunder Style, Lightning driven arrow rain!'

This was the name of this trial method that I was going to test at the moment, which I ran over in my mind as I started to stretch the bow's elastic string, which seemed to be of quite a high quality…

'As expected, the weapon forms of the Epic ranked 'Lightning Cloud' are all high in quality…'

Having just tested the halberd form and now moving on to the longbow form, I couldn't stop myself from praising this mysterious weapon that worked as a light mobile arsenal.

Thud!

A heavily condensed arrow was finally shot out from the longbow as it darted towards the army of demons that wasn't that far away, before finally splitting into over six hundred arrows when it was just above the the army like a true rain!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud…

[ You have absorbed the blood essence of a… ]

[ You have absorbed the blood essence of a… ]

[ You have absorbed the blood essence of a… ]

[ You have absorbed the blood essence of a… ]

[ You have absorbed the blood essence of a… ]

[ ... ]

Just as I started getting bombarded by system notifs while receiving blood essence that traveled from the impact spot, the countless impact reaction sounds started exploding as the lightning tails seemed to perform even more well in its second factor as somewhat of a blinding side weapon as the army's place has long turned into one huge light spot…

'But that's not enough!'

Not to mention that I only used six hundred something arrows as that was how far I could condense them, but the lane of shield bearers weren't there for show, though their defense wasn't that much, but a decent shield formation could reduce the effect by a good bit…

'That's why an instant up-front attack is needed to finish it!'

A huge demon base massacre was what it took for me to fully understand the importance of the inheritance that I received alongside the 'Thunder Arrow' profession, since it was obviously an army challenging ability, in fact, it was almost at the level of one man army powerhouses' mass destruction techniques…

'Let's see how this would play out…'

[ Item skill 'Transformation' activated! ]

[ 'Lightning Cloud' has changed into the 'Sword' phase and adapted the (LongSword) form! ]

I straight up dashed towards the army to close the distance as I changed 'Lightning Cloud's form once again!
