Hamill, wearing a bearskin, attacks Conou and Eder from above, meaning that he is geographically superior to them.

Whining!

Hamill let go of his bowstring and released an arrow that split the sky.

Conou defends himself with a sword.

Jingling!

The arrow bounced off his sword, and Conou tried to close the distance.

But before he could do it, another arrow flew at him.

"Shoot continuously!"

His eyes widened briefly.

Danger, danger!

His super-instincts were warning him!

He gritted his teeth and turned around.

Whining.

Arrows swept across his tiger-striped armor.

"Whew. ”

Conou, who had just dodged the arrow, could no longer get close, so he just assessed the situation.

And Ed is still charging.

Hamill quickly planted another arrow, this time hitting Eder.

Whining.

Edel predicted the direction of the arrow and raised his shield.

Jingling!

The arrow hit one of the skulls and fell to the ground like a bird that could no longer fly.

However... ！

The first shot was just a decoy, and Hamill fired another one after that.

Before the first arrow hit the ground, the second arrow flew towards an exposed place, one that was not protected by his shield;

"Eder, come here!" Conou immediately shouted.

Edel vanished like smoke, arrows harmlessly passing through his shadow.

"Oh, thank you," Eder said, appearing next to Conou.

"Thank me later. Focus. ”

"Okay. ”

Conou and Eder stood side by side watching Hamill.

They couldn't make out Hamill's expression, because half of his face was covered in bear skin. However, they noticed that he had an unkempt beard and appeared strong-willed.

In any case, Hamir remained motionless, aiming an arrow at them.

Kang Ou moved first.

"Let's try again. ”

Con'ou and Eder once again rushed at the robbers.

Whining!

Arrows were fired at Conou, as if Hamill had been waiting for this.

Conou's eyes widened and he dodged, continuing to get closer.

Then Hamill stuck in a couple of arrows and fired.

Multi Shot!

He shot more than a dozen arrows at once. Arrows fanned out at him.

"Get down!"

Conou and Ed lay down at the same time. Arrows flew over their heads like a flock of birds.

"Charge!"

They went one step further.

Arrows kept falling on them, but Conou and Eder were able to adapt to the constant shelling, allowing them to close the distance at such a slow pace.

But... ！

Hamill suddenly began to run backwards. Not only that, but he also shot arrows at them at the same time.

Of course, they are not the kind of skills that make continuous or multiple shots;

However... ！

Hamill managed to close the distance between them again!

"Odd. ”

Con'ou clicked. At this rate, they will not be able to close the distance.

"Let's retreat for now. ”

Eventually, Conou decided to retreat.

Conou and Ed quietly retreated. Hamill kept shooting arrows at them, but he couldn't stop them from retreating.

Their battle with Hamill exposes the weaknesses of Conou and Eder.

Neither of them has ranged skills!

Although the Storm Tiger is a ranged attack, it has a 1-minute cooldown and also requires a large number of MP companies, which does not allow for frequent use.

If Con'ou had gained a ranged attack, the fight with Hamill would have been completely different.

At all costs... ！

There are two main ways to deal with their lack of ranged attacks.

First of all, they can bring a long-range DPS system like Sibiro or Grano.

The problem with this approach, though, was that he couldn't just ask a high-ranking official in the tower to help him like Grano on a whim, nor could he ask Sibiro for help indefinitely.

If so, then ...

"I had to learn to attack from a distance. ”

Conou realized he needed to learn a new skill.

But what will he learn?

"Magic is impossible. My magic stats are high, but without magic my spells would be weak

Non-mascists can also learn magic. However, their spells did not achieve maximum effect. They also demand much more from parliamentarians.

For the same reason, bowing is also not allowed

Effective use of the bow requires archery.

"In the end, I had no choice but to learn a fighting skill from the Swordsman Guild. ”

Conou walked towards the Swordsman's Guild and fell into deep thought.

The huge gymnasium, or the martial arts association, has not changed at all. The bronze statue of the famous swordsman Keynes has not changed either.

Conou glanced at the statue and went inside.

"Welcome. Are you here to learn new skills?" asked a middle-aged swordsman.

"Yes. ”

"Well, what skill?"

"Please teach me a long-range skill that I can use," Conou said.

"Let's see here..."

The middle-aged swordsman looked him up and down.

"You look like a mid-level swordsman. ”

An ordinary swordsman will learn swordsmanship.

Cono is a demonic swordsman, so he has an intermediate demonic swordsmanship.

"Yes. ”

"What about the Earth Knife, you stick your sword into the ground and release a ground wave, or the Air Knife, compress the air and release it on your opponent. ”

Con Ou shook his head.

"Not those. ”

Ground and Air Blades are similar to Storm Tigers, they are powerful, but they have a long cooldown and consume a lot of MP Corporation.

But Kang Ou has a Tyrant Tiger, far more than the two skills mentioned earlier, so he doesn't need to learn.

"Hmm. What about the piercing?"

The jab will launch a ranged attack in the direction of the sword.

'The piercing blow sounds good...'

The stab can be used repeatedly like a knife slash, but he's not sure if it's charismatic enough.

"Anything else?"

"How about throwing a weapon?"

"Throw weapons?"

"The power and effect vary depending on the weapon thrown. That's why you can use it as your trump card in the hole. If a swordsman throws a dagger, its power is amplified by swordsmanship. ”

Grenadiers are a combat skill that increases the range of projectile weapons such as daggers, javelins, rocks, etc., and also increases the accuracy and power of attacks.

As the middle-aged swordsman said, "swordsmanship" also applies to throwing knives.

"Of course it doesn't apply to me. ”

Cono possesses demonic swordsmanship, not swordsmanship.

If the weapon is not the Demon Sword, then the Demon Sword will not affect it.

Luckily, the projectile weapon is considered a support weapon, so he can use this skill, even if Con Can't use any other type of weapon.

"Projectiles also sound good. ”

The fact that the effect would vary depending on the weapon thrown piqued his interest.

"Anything else?" asked Conou.

He liked piercing blows and throwing projectiles, but decided to listen to other options before making a decision.

"Except for them..."

The middle-aged swordsman suggested other ranged attacks, but he wasn't interested.

Conou thought about which skill he should learn.

He couldn't learn both.

Instead of learning two skills that serve the same purpose and alternating between them, learn one skill and reuse it twice. This makes it easier to improve the proficiency of the skills.

"Please give me the bomb notebook. ”

In the end, Cono chose the latter!

He chose to throw the projectile because it actually varies according to the weapon being thrown.

In addition, the Piercing Strike is only suitable for sprinting, while he can use a projectile as long as he is free in combat.

"Throw bullets, huh... This is a useful skill. Wait a minute. ”

The middle-aged swordsman walked through the back door. He came out with a throwing skill book.

Conou paid for the book and learned the skill immediately.

[You've learned the passive skill, throwing projectiles (beginners).] ]

Projectile is a passive ability. A skill that activates immediately when throwing a weapon or stone.

"Do you also sell projectile weapons here?" asked Conou.

"Go to Seth over there. ”

The middle-aged swordsman pointed to the side.

There, a middle-aged woman with blonde hair is selling a variety of goods.

"Thank you very much. ”

Cono walked over to the middle-aged woman and looked at the catapult weapon she was selling.

Javelins, daggers, iron balls.

Each weapon has a different effect. The javelin can't be drawn, and the dagger is extremely powerful. The iron ball crushed the enemy.

'Hmm. '

Projectile weapons are only of the C class. In exchange, they are cheap and there are several of them. He can use them with impunity.

"Are you looking for something?" asked the middle-aged woman.

"Nope. ”

"Please take your time. ”

Conou glanced at the projectile weapon again, but he was not satisfied.

"Now that I've dropped the bullet, I should try to find a good weapon. ”

Cono decided to look through the weapons in the auction house.

"I'll come back later. ”

He left the Swordsman Guild and went to a nearby auction house.

Con Ou sat on the sofa and easily used the auction interface.

'Category: Supporting Items. Type: Projectile weapon. It must be fully equipped and at least level 100

The auction list shows all the items that can be used by Conou.

A throwable hand axe, a hooked dagger, a star-shaped javelin, and even a lightning-bolt-shaped dagger.

There is a wide variety of weapons auctioned.

"Effect is more important than strength. ”

Shells will be used as a distraction, and not as the main means of attack.

Therefore, instead of a high-attack weapon, he needs a projectile weapon with special effects.

"This and this are fine. ”

Con's hand, which is the list of descendants, abruptly stopped.

"Ah, this ......"

Conou looked at the projectile, the horn of a beast attached to a throwable handle.

[Gradion Dagger Set (44)]

The assault leader of the Greenland Plain, a dagger made in Greenland Cape.

The horns of the gladiators had the power of fire and lightning, respectively. This dagger is made of an electric horn.

A full set of four daggers.

+ Lightning Sting: The dagger sparks as soon as it comes into contact, with a high chance of powering up the target.

+ Lightning Mark: Once contacted, the chance of lightning hitting the target is fixed. Do not move indoors or in caves.

Grade:

Abilities: Attack +188, Physical +15, Lightning Damage +5%

Minimum requirements: Level 150, Level 200 in Physics, Level 100 in Sensing. A projectile is required.

"It's a masterpiece. ”

None of the projectile weapons he had seen had more than 100 attack power, and this one had reached 188!

Moreover, the effect is amazing.

The price is quite high, though.

"Ahh The bid was 1314 gold, and the current purchase price was 1500 gold. But I'm going to buy it anyway

In the end, Conou bought the dagger for 1,500 gold.

"It's an investment. ”

It's easier to defeat the redbearded bandits with these daggers.

With it, his growth will accelerate and he will reach his level goals faster.

"So now. ”

He makes sure that the entire set of items in his inventory is safe and then uses the auction interface again.

This time, he wanted to find a belt to store the dagger and make it more accessible to him in battle.

"That's exactly what I'm looking for. ”

It wasn't long before Conou found the belt he was looking for.
