Chapter 234: Crisis
Gru stood up with his bow in his hand, and then his still trembling right arm reached into his cloak, and what appeared in his hand was no longer a pitch-black iron arrow, but an arrow feather that could no longer be more ordinary.
This feathered arrow will be used by the lizardmen of Tatagalia, by the sharpshooters of Erathia, by the elves of Eeri, and even by Medusa of the dungeons of Nigon.
But it was such an arrow that made Lear's face suddenly change as if he was facing a great enemy, and without saying a word, he cast several layers of atmospheric shield and Hercules shield in front of himself and Guina and the other three, just because he saw the lifelike symbol of the divine beast carved on the tail of the arrow.
Sky Feather Arrow!
The treasure had also fallen into Sandru's hands and given to Gru, who didn't know whether to say that the other party was lucky or that he was unlucky.
But it is undeniable that even in his heart, he vaguely admits that except for Gru, there is no one in this world who is more worthy of this quiver and the Tianyu who is rumored to have only three branches.
The Heavenly Feather Arrow, the Mane of the Divine Beast, and the Bow of the Tree Elve, these three treasures can be combined to form an artifact that any archer in this world dreams of - the Phantom Divine Bow.
Ignoring distance, ignoring defense, the curse of killing allows any living creature to appreciate what is called the shadow of death when facing this artifact from a distance, which is the real death that can't even escape, and the most direct implementation of the will to snipe.
It is rumored that this bow is the protector of the snow elf kingdom far away in the mortal realm, but he doesn't know how the most important component will end up in Gru's hands.
What's even more terrifying is that Lear knows that distance and defense are nothing to Gru, and with his master-level attainments in archery, Tianyu Arrow in hand, even if he gives him a slingshot to play with a child, he can also exert the power of the Phantom Divine Bow.
Gru stretched his bow, set his arrow, opened the strings, his breathing became more and more steady as his movements continued, his heart was heavy and powerful, he forgot the time, he forgot the situation, he forgot everything, and all his attention was completely focused on this arrow.
Like a saint devoted to the arts, he spurred this perfect arrow with the devotion of a fanatic to the faith, his thighs tensed, his waist tensed and twisted slightly, and his strength rose from his ribs into his right arm and into his fingers that grasped the bowstring and tail feathers.
The uncontrollable trembling of muscles has also become stable in this indomitable concentration, and the pain caused by the entanglement and crushing of bones and blood vessels is negligible.
His eagle-sharp eyes removed all obstacles in front of him, the flames vanished, the valleys vanished, the quicksand vanished, and the attendants vanished, leaving only an equally sharp pair of eyes that stared at him.
Gru aimed at the middle of the eyes, and when the breath he had just inhaled reached the very end, he let go of his fingers.
At this time, Kunsha's footsteps had just fallen, the weeds in the valley that had been blown away by the wind had not yet had time to return to their places, and a cloud had just drifted through the sky, blocking the sun.
The raging wall of fire suddenly fell apart on both sides like a hurricane, and the terrifying power of the Sky Feather Arrow even caused cracks in the air along its path.
This arrow Gru didn't use any fighting energy, he was like a clever artist, he just changed the style of the object casually, but did not touch the essence of the object at all, and after such a slight change, the object immediately became different from before.
There is no vindictiveness, but it is stronger than all vindictiveness.
"Retreat!"
Lear pulled Guina, who was still trying to defend him, to the side and retreated faster himself, the light of the four magical elements constantly lit up in his hand as he did.
Ice shields, earth shields, air shields, fireballs, any magic that could cause the slightest delay in that Sky Feather Arrow poured forward like no money.
He had only taken five or six steps back, and six walls of magic shields had risen from the ground in front of him.
But it didn't work.
Like Tang Woxue, all the magic shields were useless under the power of this arrow, and the Heavenly Feather Arrow did not even destroy the inner structure of the wall, and it penetrated through it in an instant.
If it weren't for the small black hole that remained in the wall of the ice shield, it would not even be possible to believe that such an arrow really existed.
Fast, extremely fast, indescribably fast, that's the essence of that arrow.
In Lear's eyes, the arrow began to expand rapidly from a black spot, and the feeling of imminent death appeared on him again, fear, coldness, and the grievance that he knew he would die but was powerless to change, made him suddenly burst out with a strong will to survive in his heart in addition to his anger.
"Roll !!"
Lear roared, and the temperature around him dropped rapidly, and in an instant, the sand and gravel under his feet turned into rolling ice crystals.
Two cold breaths condensed into ice at his hands, as if they had put on heavy armor for him.
Lear stretched out his hand, desperately grabbing at the black dot that came at him.
Ice chips splintered and sliced through his palms, and the aura of destruction carried by the Sky Feather Arrow made his hands and arms blur with flesh and blood, but the contact between the edge of the palm and the tail feathers instantly made Lear's heart move.
He caught it!
But grabbing the Sky Feather Arrow doesn't mean death is far away from him, and this is just the beginning.
The moment he felt that he had grabbed the Sky Feather Arrow, Lear applied a layer of acceleration and a layer of light spirit and a feather fall spell to himself, and any spell that could speed up and reduce the burden was cast by him without hesitation.
If it weren't for the fact that the forbidden spell required too much mana and too long to prepare, he would not even hesitate to use flying thaumaturgy and the Gate of Another Dimension.
As long as it can stop the time when this arrow breaks through to his eyebrows.
The surging magic energy was constantly stirring in Lear's body, and all his fighting energy was gathered on his feet, which he used to fight the arrow in a race for life, and his hands were constantly flashing with various colors.
Flames, frost, thunder, and mire, he did everything he could to destroy or change the trajectory of the Sky Feather Arrow, and if he was prepared to kill the enemy face to face, then it would be a joke for him to go to great lengths to cross into this world.
But at the same time, there was a trace of inexplicable happiness in his heart, if Gru used the Sky Feather Arrow when he assassinated him for the first time, then he was a dead man now.
But now, he will never give the other party another chance.
As the distance and time continued to extend, the Sky Feather Arrow in Lear's hand finally changed significantly, the thick frost almost completely covered the shaft of the arrow, and under the frost was a thick layer of earth.
These are not ordinary earth and frost, but elemental essence that has been solidified and compressed dozens or even hundreds of times by the power of magic, and this small arrow is enchanted with slowness, gravity, freezing, featherfall, lightness, and many other magics.
It had almost every spell Lear could think of that could slow it down and stop, and it was no exaggeration to say that if the Sky Feather Arrow stopped now, the weight contained in it would not be able to be accepted by Lear's arms.
With Lear's continuous efforts, the speed of the Sky Feather Arrow finally slowed down, but this slowness was relative, just equal to the speed at which he retreated.
When he grabbed the Sky Feather Arrow, the tip of the arrow was still half an arm's length away from the center of his eyebrows, and at this time, the sharpness contained in the arrow had already pierced a bloody hole in the center of his eyebrows.
A drop of crimson blood seeped out of that small hole, like a ruby embedded in Lear's forehead in a relatively static time and space, and at this time, his palms and arms were already a blur of flesh and blood, and the blood of the big pool spilled a bloody path on the dozens of meters of land that he retreated quickly.
After retreating more than ten meters, Lear had already controlled the Sky Feather Arrow to leave the tip of his nose, and with just a few more seconds, he could completely escape the threat of death.
At this moment, a fist-sized stone suddenly appeared at Lear's feet.
Lear suddenly lost his balance when he stepped on the height, and the balance between the Heavenly Feather Arrow in his hand and his body was instantly broken, and with a stumble, the sharp tip of the arrow stabbed Lear again.
Faced with a life-and-death crisis, Lear desperately flicked the tail of the arrow in his hand, and then twisted his head to the side with force, but the sudden loss of control of the power made him no longer able to grasp the piercing of the Tianyu arrow, and the violent force wrangled his palm to pieces, and then broke free directly.
