Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 278

 I arrived directly above the indentation that serves as a marker in the middle of the passage.

From this position, I couldn’t see the stone-throwing group as they were hidden behind the wall, but I had a clear line of sight to the main force behind them.

The distance was no more than 200 meters, so it should definitely reach them!

"Alright!"

I activated 【Danrem's Thread】, and a bow appeared in front of me.

It was a large, heavy bow, just over 2 meters long.

It landed with a thud on the ground and tilted precariously.

I hurriedly grabbed the top end to stabilize it.

"Whoa…"

The training grounds beneath Riana's lord's mansion were leveled and flat, but here, the uneven terrain made it a bit tricky to keep the bow upright… but I managed.

With my hands gripping the top end and my arms fully extended, my body aligned roughly with the bow’s center.

In that position, I pressed my left foot against the grip and focused my attention on the bow… and the string appeared.

Next, I activated the 【Crimson Bee's Sting】 attached to my right ankle and, with my right foot still on the string, I forcefully stretched my leg outward.

To an observer, it would probably look like I was hanging off the bow in a splits position, but this method had been tested and proven to work.

The key here was to make sure my body wasn’t in the line of the string.

I wasn’t sure if it would hit me like with a normal bow, but with that kind of power… if the drawn string hit my body, it would probably tear me apart…

I had to avoid that.

After that, I just needed to control the 【Floating Orb】 to adjust my aim… and find the right spot to align with the monsters.

According to Alec, who had tested it, the arrow flies straight along the line of light that appears in the grip.

It’s much thicker than a normal arrow, and the piercing power is remarkable.

Even if my aim is a bit rough, it should take out anything in its path, allowing me to defeat them all with a single shot… hopefully.

"Alright!"

As I infused the bow with energy, an arrow of light appeared.

The bow was already drawn and ready to fire at any moment.

The arrow hummed with energy, as if eager to be unleashed.

I had practiced up to this point in the underground training grounds, but this would be my first time actually firing it.

Alright… let’s make one last check before shooting.

No signs of people in the line of fire.

The walls of the passage limit the angle, so I’d only be able to hit about five enemies at once.

But that should be enough to break up the troublesome formation of the main force.

I also brought my umbrella just in case, so even if I miss completely, I can just take them down as usual.

Alright… no problems. I can do this!

"Here we go!… Firreeeee—whoa?!"

Using both Akame’s eyes and the 【Fairy Eye】, I chose the area that would catch the most enemies within the narrow firing angle and let the arrow fly.

That part went smoothly, but… I hadn’t accounted for the recoil.

The plan was to shoot at a diagonal angle, grazing the left wall near the exit of the passage, but…

The moment I fired, a bright flash of light exploded, and as I tried to suppress the force that surged through the entire bow, the point where the bow touched the ground acted as a pivot, causing it to rotate about 10 degrees to the left.

I was likely floating on the left side of the bow, which caused it to pull in that direction.

Instead of grazing the wall, the arrow of light carved into it as it plowed through the ogre standing behind.

The distant sound of an explosion echoed—it must have hit the wall of the hall.

Though my vision was blurred by the dust kicked up by the arrow gouging out the ground and walls, the power of the shot was undeniable.

"Ugh…"

Despite the distance, the dust reached me, so I dismissed the bow and tried to retreat towards the ceiling to avoid it.

At that moment, I saw movement through the haze.

At the same time, a stone the size of a volleyball came hurtling towards me.

"…!"

Luckily, it was still far away, so even though my reaction was delayed, I managed to dodge it.

This wasn’t supposed to be their effective range, but I guess they’ve marked me as an enemy now.

I was curious about the situation in the hall, but first, I needed to deal with the enemies in front of me.

This wasn’t exactly the start I had imagined, but… the task remains the same.

Annihilation!
