When the countdown reached 13 minutes and 13 seconds, Ariel, who was already mentally exhausted from the ambush, sat on her magic armor and waited for the countdown to end helplessly.
Perhaps, from her point of view, this was almost the end of the game, garbage time.
Timid opponents did not dare to fight her head-on. They only dared to play some small tricks to avoid the penalty of passive competition. She, who lacked the ability to investigate (in the past, such work was done by her companions), could not find her opponent in this terrible weather.
"Seriously, there must be some cheating. Why did we have to go to such terrible weather? Damn it!"
If Rorschach heard such complaints, he would probably laugh out loud.
Other than the plains that were kicked out at the beginning, most of the wilderness terrain would have covered areas, unless it was a battle in a ring. Detection and counter-detection were part of a personal battle from the beginning.
You want me to fight you head-on? Idiots who really did that could only become knights.
Stealth and tracking, using the help of the natural environment to choose the most important combat methods, were the core abilities of a ranger. If you are unhappy, don't play.
Rorschach actually wanted to complain. This terrible weather had destroyed his stealth and mobility, and the ranger's ability to set up traps was also destroyed. Many of his preparations were wasted in an instant.
Normally, his teammates would do all the "dirty work, chores, and tiring work" for him. Why did he have to learn these things? Fine, let's invite your teammates to fight.
Ariel pouted, feeling very unhappy. She thought it would be a straightforward head-on battle. She did not even bring a timer, and could only rely on her body sense and the built-in time of her magic armor to understand the situation.
She even racked her brains to come up with a strategy to expose herself and attract the opponent's attention, but in the end, she only received a harassing attack, which made her even more unhappy.
"The referee is also too much. This should have been a passive competition."
She thought so, but she did not expect that her companions were already worried and anxious after seeing Rorschach's actions and preparations.
"Ariel, hurry up, don't wait, it's too late!"
Countdown: 12 minutes and 12 seconds. The eighth automatic bow was activated.
A light silver armor-piercing arrow drew an arc and shot towards Ariel, who was sitting on the shoulder of her magic armor.
"Boring, how many times have I tried?"
She gently stretched out her left hand, and an invisible force field instantly formed. This automatic armor-piercing arrow could not even break through her defense.
Clang!
As a result, the arrow was sent flying.
Ariel grabbed the air with her right hand, and a hot white Holy Fireball appeared in the sky. With a casual glance, Ariel threw the Holy Fireball.
"Boom!"
Even from nearly a kilometer away, the sound of the explosion was still loud and clear. This kind of super long range attack was undoubtedly Ariel's professional ability. However, she also knew that it was impossible for her to find her opponent. Even if she rushed over, she would only be able to obtain a batch of parts and fragments.
Ariel pursed her lips in boredom. She recorded the resentment in her heart and prepared to vent it in the third battle.
Then, the sound of a bowstring was heard.
"Another combo? Didn't you come here before? "
He didn't even want to look up as he casually opened up the barrier again and waited for the time to end … Something had happened!
This time, there was no sound of collision. The arrow seemed to have disappeared and passed through the barrier silently.
"Eh?!"
At that moment, Ariel instinctively felt that something was wrong. The uneasiness that made her scalp tingle and the chill that rose from the soles of her feet all the way to her spine was the most instinctive sense of danger.
Ariel raised her head abruptly, but what she saw was a fatal silver light!
It was close, too close. There was no time to dodge.
“axiadm！”
The dragon's words turned into a furious roar. Anger brought with it the might of a dragon. Her life was in danger, and this time, the dragon's incantation was completed abnormally quickly.
Violent magic transformed into a storm. Wind blades slashed madly in front of Ariel, hindering the pursuit of the silver arrow.
However, the first to be injured was Ariel herself.
Her arm that covered her face was covered with wounds that she had cut herself. Fresh blood splattered everywhere, and her entire body was in pain. However, the survival instincts of a dragon made her ignore the pain. She spread her wings and jumped away.
However, it was too late, too late.
Although the dragon's magic hindered the silver arrow for a moment, it only deviated slightly from its trajectory. Ariel's perfect survival instincts only caused the arrow to deviate slightly.
Crimson blood splattered everywhere, and screams echoed in the storm. Ariel couldn't understand what kind of bow could shoot such a heavy arrow that could ignore her storm, and what kind of sharp arrow could turn her sturdy dragon scales into soft cream.
Dragons' instincts for danger and extraordinary dodging actions made this fatal arrow not hit Ariel's heart. Instead, it pierced her right shoulder.
Enduring the pain, Ariel tried to pull it out, but found that the strange arrow … No, it should be more like a dagger, a short dagger made out of blade fragments.
"Ouch!"
There were strange patterns and barbs on the dagger. Ariel tried to pull it out, and blood flowed out. However, the dagger suddenly pierced deeper into her body.
"Damn bastard!"
Anger made Ariel go berserk. Brilliant silver flames burned on her body. In the next second, dragon wings that were more than three meters long spread out from her body. Under the silver horns was the appearance of an adult girl. She was more than 1.8 meters tall. Wearing a simple scale armor, she completed her transformation from a young girl to an adult girl in a short moment.
She didn't hesitate to use her trump card, the complete dragonization that could only be used once a day.
To be able to shoot this arrow, it could only be from Rorschach's territory! Ariel in this state was a female dragon that went berserk!
"Damn it, damn it! I have never been in such pain before. "
However, the wound on her right shoulder wasn't squeezed out. On the contrary, following the changes in her body, the dagger pierced deeper.
"Pain … What is this?!"
At this moment, Ariel realized that something was wrong. At the end of the dagger, there seemed to be something. Touching it, it was transparent, but it was hard to pull it off … Spider silk?
"Not good!"
Her discovery was too late.
A huge force came from the wound on her shoulder. While the excruciating pain was transmitted, the terrifying force pulled her away.
The valiant Dragon Maiden was pulled away by a string like a doll being dragged away by a child.
After being pulled a few hundred meters away, Ariel realized what was waiting for her.
The blue heavy magic armor was on the other end of the string, and the ballista that was thrown on the ground. The dense power of nature attached to it explained the origin of the Storm Arrow.
"Hi, long time no see. Now, die."
