Episode 99. The ability to give up (2)

In response to Gyro’s ‘Aura Flight’, Anise chose to jump and avoid it. Then the offensive initiative was lost.

That’s why Anis frowned when she saw Keter jump up. Aren’t you the same choice as yourself?

But it wasn’t.

Keter did not jump lightly. After making a great leap, he made a platform for the Auror, and jumped up using the platform as a support, soaring nearly 8 meters.

Soaring into the sky, Kether hung an arrow on a string and shouted.

“Basically put two tricks into your arrows. power and speed. Kangkwae (強快), a combination of these two, is the basic form that archery should pursue.”

Fighting!

Keter let go of the bowstring.

The arrow disappeared before my eyes.

Anise couldn’t follow Keter’s arrow with her eyes.

Quaang!

I turned my head belatedly to the roar from the side. The running gyro stopped. Gyro blocked the arrow with the broad side of the sword and whistled.

Anise gaped. Not only that, but Luke and Tarragon were also taken aback.

The power of Keter’s arrow that had just been shot was the lion sign, and the speed was the yaksha sign.

fast yet powerful

Is that possible?

It wasn’t even a single shot. Keter descended from the air and fired five arrows in quick succession.

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!

The sound of gunpowder exploding reverberates. Who would believe that this sound is the sound of an arrow being blocked?

Anise felt like lightning flashed in her head. Although Keter’s arrows were loaded with destructive power, they were fast.

Why did he try to use the two separately until now?

‘It was a prejudice. I was obsessed with the view that only one format should be applied to an arrow.’

Even so, can the power of Sagittarius immediately increase the speed of Yacha Palace?

Anis firmly shook her head.

‘If it was a problem that I would think was easy, I would have thought of it too.’

Auras have properties.

The hard quality, the quality of destruction, the quality of sharpness, the quality of eruption… . These various properties are added to the weapon to increase its destructive power.

Increasing the speed of arrows is also possible with an aura. First of all, by adding an aura to the entire arrow, the aura receives air resistance instead, so the arrow can move faster.

Not only that, but you can use it as a driving force by ejecting an aura at the tip of the arrow. This way the arrows fly faster.

These qualities are acquired through practice. Aurors do not naturally determine their nature. It is up to the person writing the aura to decide.

For example, if Anise tries to use the Sagittarius, the entire arrow is coated with destructive and sharp properties. On top of that, by spinning it technically, it compensates for the lack of speed and increases the penetrating power.

On the contrary, Yacha Palace, the fastest archery, concentrates the aura at the tip of the arrow and ejects it to propel it. This is not a quality assignment. It is intended to be included in the auror.

Simultaneously assigning qualities and imparting intentions.

Everyone thought it was impossible.

But Kether has shown that it is possible.

Even using both temper and intention at the same time is a new area of archery, but this battle is not over yet.

Keter bent her knees wide as she descended from the air. It was almost sitting. In that state, the bow was laid horizontally and fired.

Perhaps because it was shot in a hurry, it was remarkably slow compared to the arrows that had been shot before. It was a trajectory aimed at the head, but the destructive power of the arrow was insignificant.

Perhaps because of this, Keter’s arrows shot in the air were fast and powerful, but in the end they couldn’t pierce Gyro’s giant sword.

However, this attack is much slower than that, and has no power. A pointless attack is evident. However, as if to ridicule Anis’s thoughts, something unexpected happened.

hooked!

‘Hook?’

It’s not an explosion.

There was a sound like a knife piercing leather. Why the hell does it sound like this?

Then, Gyro suddenly drooled and said.

“Ugh. To think that archery like this exists in the world.”

His voice was full of bewilderment and sympathy.

why the hell

The trio of Luke, Anise, and Tarragon were frustrated because they couldn’t understand why.

Gyro put away the giant sword for the trio. Then a shocking scene greeted them.

“Oh no?!”

“How is that!”

was stuck Keter’s arrow.

It was half-embedded in Gyro’s right calf and was dangling. He said to Keter with a wry smile.

“I don’t know how long it has been since I felt the pain. I think you’ll get excited if you continue. Do you want to continue?”

“it’s okay. For now, just showing this is enough.”

Keter approached Gyro. Then, at once, he pulled out the arrow stuck in his calf.

gurgling.

He poured the lowest grade elixir on the perforated calf. At the same time, the hole was sewn up with Mana Suture, and the wound quickly healed.

“This is what you call ‘give a bottle and give medicine’. If you have archery like this, why don’t you tell me in advance? Come and defend with armor.”

“If you tell me in advance, the faint practicality will disappear even more. And if you feel squeezed and hit, you won’t be able to reach them properly.”

“You’re not saying you’re sorry.”

“Receive 500 gold as consolation money, and receive an apology. Choose.”

“You can shoot one more time. Make me your target. Hot hot hot!”

“Don’t laugh. saliva splashes.”

“yep.”

Keter, who was far away from Gyro, shouted at the trio.

“No.2. Tell me how I was able to shoot strong and fast arrows.”

Anis, whose mouth was itching, answered immediately.

“I gave both the quality and the intention to the aura at the same time.”

“No. 3, you?”

“You seem to have used a lot of auras.”

“Both are half correct answers.”

Keter grabbed the arrow and injected the aura.

“What quality do you think the aura I infused into this arrow might have been? No.2.”

“It is the quality of steel that symbolizes destruction.”

“Wrong. And that’s not all. It also contains the quality of pleasure.”

“It can’t be. The Pleasant nature of course increases the speed of the arrow, but it cannot break through the speed limit. The arrow shown by the assistant broke through the speed limit. There was obviously the same principle as the 7th eclipse of the zodiac and the Yacha Palace.”

“You’re right. Through the granting of intention, the speed limit of arrows was exceeded. But even so, why give up the nature of pleasure?”

“Because there is no difference in maximum speed even if you don’t use the pleasure property.”

“that’s right. There is no difference in maximum speed. However, the time required to reach maximum speed is reduced.”

“… what does that mean… Ahh!”

A second bolt of lightning struck Anis’ head. It felt like my brain was ripening. More of a pleasure than a pain.

It was the pleasure of enlightenment.

‘Instantaneous acceleration. If you use the quality of pleasure, you can greatly increase the instantaneous acceleration. Accelerate by simply giving meaning and it will reach its maximum speed halfway through the flight. However, it flies at full speed from the start if it starts with the nature of pleasure. Because of that, the opponent will not be given time to cope with the maximum speed!’

Anise slumped to her knees. His hands on the ground trembled. It was the first time in my life that I had such a great realization.

Luke and Tarragon did not understand Keter as much as Anis did. I only vaguely sensed that there was some sort of great principle.

Even while Anise was in shock, Keter did not stop talking.

“That’s not all. You guys don’t put your heart into each arrow. They shoot in such a way that if they get hit, stop, if they don’t get hit, it’s okay. It’s clumsy. I have the mindset of wanting to give up. Be sure to put in the will to kill the opponent. Pull the bow string just before it breaks. I mean, shoot each arrow with the mindset that if you don’t kill the enemy, you’ll die.”

At Keter’s words, Tarragon raised his hand and asked a question.

“If you pull the protest to the limit, there are several problems. Your bow will shoot slower, and your bow will break sooner or later. How do you do that?”

“Of course, I have much more total Aura than you guys. But that’s not all. Use the aura more actively. You should too. Why is my bow shooting so slow? Don’t pull the protest only with muscle strength. Pull using the aura. Protect your bow with an aura. Then, no matter how rough you handle it, it will not break.”

“ah… … !”

“Finally, how my arrow hit Gyro’s calf. It’s simple. Overlaid meaning. Is it easy?”

No one understood this time.

Keter didn’t bother to comment. Intuitive explanations have their drawbacks. Kills the target’s imagination. That wasn’t the growth Keter wanted.

‘I don’t have the heart to take responsibility for you all.’

If I tell you everything from one to ten, I decided to stop at this point because the troublesome future of relying only on me will be clearly drawn if something gets stuck later.

And, now was the perfect timing. To introduce ‘thing’ to the trio.

“Trainees. It’s an hour break. Let’s each review the fight between me and Gyro. After the break, fight Gyro again. dissolution!”

* * *

The trio did not gather as if they had promised, but scattered. It was because they recognized each other not as colleagues but as rivals to compete with.

“ha… . I know how you feel.”

Tarragon, who had taken a seat behind the arsenal in the parade ground, let out a deep sigh.

I couldn’t understand 100% of the principles Keter was talking about, but I understood the general principles.

“I have to apply three auras to this one arrow. Powerful, quick. And granting intent to erupt. You can use the method of the Yakya Palace to grant the intention of eruption, but the problem is how to apply all of them.”

Keter did not tell us how to do it. Tarragon was sorry, but on the other hand, he understood.

‘Is that because it’s Keterman’s secret? It’s probably because there’s something that shouldn’t be told.’

It was Tarragon who was more inclined to see Keter as a good man.

“Turn it off.”

Tarragon holding an arrow in his right hand and injecting an aura. I injected all three attributes as a test.

Crispy!

The arrow shattered in his hand. Aura control failed.

“Ugh, can’t we divide the aura into three layers and give each layer a different meaning? Arrows can’t stand the aura. Shall we use an aura to protect the arrow?”

lots of arrows Tarragon tried again.

But this time, too, it failed.

“If this is the case, the consumption of Aura is too great. Use up all my aura in five shots.”

Tarragon took up a new arrow, then gave up. His expression suddenly darkened.

With practice you will find a way. However, the problem was that the total amount of aura he possessed was terribly small.

Tarragon began practicing the aura practice at the age of eight. And now, 13 years later, the total amount of auras he had was only 16 years worth.

It was very small compared to other prestigious schools. Children of prestigious families of the same age had at least 30 years of Aura.

This wasn’t just because Tarragon was neglecting his practice. Sephira’s aura technique itself was not very efficient.

Above all, Aura and archery are not compatible, so it was unavoidable because Sephira put more effort into increasing pure archery skills rather than the amount of Aura.

At that time, a shadow fell at Taragon’s feet.

“Tarragon. What are you so worried about?”

“Oh, I’m surprised. Joe, assistant.”

It was Keter who appeared without a sound. Keter waved her hand.

“Break time is free time. You can call me comfortably.”

“ah… okay.”

“Were you practicing?”

Keter tapped the broken arrows abandoned on the ground with her foot.

“Yes. It looks difficult, but actually doing it makes it even harder. Keter, where the hell did you learn archery like this?”

“I made it.”

“make… was it? you?”

“It is not something completely new. I referenced it a lot here and there.”

“Yeah, that’s right. That’s great. At that age… There are many auras… … .”

“me? Not that many. It’s only 22 years worth.”

Before going to the liqueur, it was only 10 years worth, but it was Keter who added 12 years worth of aura at once by drinking the elixir from the liqueur.

“It’s not as much as I thought. Still, there are more than me.”

“They seemed to be lacking in aura. How many years is it?”

“Sixteen years worth.”

“Is it a prestigious family? Aside from the efficiency of the technique, it’s a shame that I’ve never eaten anything like an elixir.”

Among the prestigious families, there are many places that independently manufacture elixirs. Of the seven noble families in the Lillian Kingdom, four were manufacturing and consuming their own elixir.

Of course, making an elixir required an astronomical amount of money and skill, so Sephira couldn’t even dare to do it.

“Even if there is an elixir, I cannot eat it. I have three older brothers above me. Even if it’s my turn, I’ll yield to Chervil. That’s right.”

“Who else is Chervil?”

“Ah, Keter, you don’t know. He’s the youngest in my family, and he went to study in the Empire. That guy is really a genius. Maybe more than you.”

“I’m not interested in people who aren’t here. But, Tarragon, I can’t.”

“what?”

“I was originally going to give this to Anis… … .”

Keter moved close to Tarragon, looked around, and pulled a small vial from within. Inside it, an ice-like illusion was showing off its brilliant appearance.

Oops!

Keter opened the lid, and the deep, refreshing smell of water made Tarragon’s eyes pop open.

“Ke, Keter. Could this be?”

“Even if you’ve never eaten it, can you feel it? yes that’s right It’s an elixir. It’s top notch!”

“… … !”

“I don’t know if you’ve heard the name. The Arcane Elixir of the Northern Browning Duchy, the Blue Spirit Ring.”

“Cheo, Cheongryeonghwan? Is this the blue ring?”

In an ice cave thousands of years old, thousands of meters underground, a drop of water condensed with the energy of water and ice falls once a year.

“Even if you eat just one of these, you can get an aura for 5 years, and it also removes impurities from your existing aura. It means that the density and purity will be different even if it is the same aura for one year.”

Gulp, Tarragon’s throat gurgled.

In his eyes, he could only see the blue ring.

“You, you, are you going to give this to me? thank you!”

Poof!

Like a tarragon who coveted amaranth, he stretched out his hand and looked at it. But in vain it cuts through the air.

It was natural. Because Keter withdrew her hand.

Then, Tarragon’s body also leaned towards it.

Keter said, pushing Tarragon’s body away.

“Give it, give it. If you want to buy this.”

“uh?!”

“What is ‘Huh?!’ Then will I give you this for free?”

Kether formed a coin with her fingers.

“sell.”
