As the red flowers bloomed on the ground, a system message popped up as if waiting.

Looking at the notification from Kalion who is not here at once, it must mean that a village was occupied at the same moment. When I checked the number of subjugation, it was 32, but it became 67, and I could confirm that the number was rising in real time.

Assuming that there are roughly 30 animals in a colony, it was a reasonable figure.

If that was Growl, it would have felt reassuring, but Kalion felt nothing but an uneasy feeling that something big was about to happen. After all, they both posted similar criminal records at the same time, so why are they in different moods?

“…Is it because of personality differences?”

Certainly, while Growl was calm and dependable, hotter than anyone else when needed, Kalion had a strong sense of mischief and a spring that could bounce anywhere.

Not only was the last time I ate the hatchling’s eggshell at will, but even now, I can’t judge the extent of it, and I’m going wild at random, which spurred that thought.

It’s only a difference of 4 intelligence, but I didn’t know it would be this serious.

It is true that since there is a difference, I pay more attention to Kalion, who doesn’t know where to buy and hit, than to Growl, who is naturally good at taking care of himself.

Ah, now that I’ve said it, my head hurts because I feel like I’m becoming the heart of a parent who is hit by childrearing.

The grown-up first, the second who grew up watching it and needs less hands, and the third, who grew up as a fool despite having two successful cases. Naturally, when attention is drawn to the third side, the first and second start to envy it!

It was a typical material likely to appear in a human drama somewhere. Of course, there is no possibility for our children to do that, but it was a bit like that because they didn’t have a heart to do it.

“Let’s take a picture of this for now”

Carlyon invested all the free points he gained through leveling up in intelligence. When the number that was 1 became 4, I felt a little relieved, perhaps because of my mood. Can you understand what I’m saying now? Maybe not.

Multiples of 5 and 10 are also a kind of symbolic meaning that goes beyond being pretty. So, if your intelligence is not 5, it means that you may still be in a bad state.

“…I can only hope to level up as soon as possible.”

Seeing sand dust rising and falling trees on the other side in real time, it didn’t seem that far off.

“I have to move on my own.”

You have to move your body so that you have less useless thoughts.

I also got the [Fighting] Skill from this battle, so I’ve completed basic short-range weapons. If I move on to long-range weapons, I plan to aim for [Throwing] And [Bow] At the same time.

It doesn’t matter if you use the shadows when it comes to procurement of weapons, but the problem is how to use them.

Pluck out shadows to create a bow. It is a compound bow, not a recurve bow that is easy to come to mind when thinking of fantasy.

The force required to pull is not much different from the recurve bow, but the compound bow has higher arrow speed and power under the same conditions.

When using a bow without any correction, I decided that this is better.

The advantage of things made of shadows is that they can be easily repaired even if they are broken, and that you can make them hard and sharp as long as you have magic power.

The downside is that there is no weight because the main material is a shadow, but in the case of a bow, that can be an advantage.

A bow needs high tension to show off its high power, and inevitably the bow must be large and strong.

Then, depending on the size, the weight will also increase, and eventually the people who can use it will be limited.

This world has researched and developed a method of doubling power by imprinting various enchantment spells, adding weight or strengthening, and adding magical power through assistance such as skills and occupations.

Thanks to this, it is the common perception of the world that bows are stronger than guns because they have solved the chronic disadvantages unique to bows and can emit more power than most guns or snipers.

To implement this with a gun, each and every part must be magically treated, but that much money is costly and efficiency is poor.

Because a bow only needs to be hit by one body, it takes less effort and time to make, and it is easy to repair.

This is not only limited to bows, but also applies to equipment such as swords and spears.

A cold weapon with a relatively simple structure is easier to deal with magically.

With such a foundation, it is not for nothing that it is said that it is better to match a proper equipment to a bar to eat halfway elixir.

This is the reason why I insist on the shape of the weapon. Since I don’t have any skills, shouldn’t I use at least some good equipment?

Of course, you need to be able to use a bow before that, so you can practice using shadows without worrying about resource consumption.

What I’m doing right now is a kind of framing.

If I don’t make it clear now, I’ll be the one who will have a harder time later, so I need to make it more detailed and clear.

Therefore, draw your bow right now. Arrows are also made using shadows. Like that, attach the bow to the string, pull it with force, and then shoot. The arrow then flies straight away. Where?

Over the sky

Because he had no weight, the guy who was making an endless upward trajectory into the sky escaped the range of my magical power and melted into a handful of shadows.

Of course, it was far away from the target tree.

I calmed down my trembling breathing and then shot the arrow again. A little lower this time. Aim and shoot to go straight even if you lose a little strength. Then the arrow flies. Where?

Took

To the ground within reach of your nose if you fall face down.

“Why the hell is there no middle for this?”

In the end, I couldn’t stand it, so I vomited. This is a natural result. If I asked if I had shot a bow in my previous life, I would have shot a gun.

Isn’t that what I said earlier? The chronic weakness of the bow could only be improved in this world where crazy technologies such as [Skills] And [Magic] Developed.

In my previous life, the bow was nothing more or less than a mere admiration, a courtesy of the wealthy, or a sporting event that exists in the Olympic Games.

Even if you aim right away and pull the trigger, you and I have a gun that is one-shot.

For reference, I have already tested the gun. Even if the gun and ammunition are implemented as shadows, the ammunition is not gunpowder but shadows, so even if you pull the trigger, only a ticking sound comes out, and the chamber vomits the casing containing the bullet.

I haven’t tried yet to see what happens when I shoot it with live ammunition, but I’ll probably get shot. What the shadow gun lacks is the presence or absence of gunpowder to shoot bullets.

Swords and other weaponry belong to the category that can be used simply by swinging, stabbing, cutting, and moving the body.

I tried shooting a few more times, expecting that I might have a hidden talent, so after a few shots I could get a feel for it. It flies far away from the target for a long time or falls right in front of me. It was one of them.

Then you have to make a choice here.

Shoot arrows foolishly until you shoot the bow well, or get the [Bow] Skill as an expedient and practice the bow after getting the correction.

“Of course, isn’t it the latter?”

I fixed my bow. Not in a position to shoot an arrow, but in a position in which it is easy to wield a typeface like a club.

Wouldn’t it be possible to acquire the [Bow] Skill by fighting with a bow? No matter what you do, if you miss it, give it a target, knock it down, and shoot it in front of its nose. There’s no need to shoot from a distance. Isn’t it enough just to catch an arrow and shoot it?

Then there is no point in using a bow? The name of a ranged weapon is fading? No, that’s because this is preparation for shooting an arrow.

Why, in the story of a maple leaf, if you attack a mob from close range with a bow, instead of shooting an arrow, you swing the bow and push the enemy back. I don’t know if I use the skill, but since I’m doing this to acquire that skill in the first place, this is the proper way to use the [Bow].

“Kerreuk”

I just saw an experiment table over there. I expressed my satisfaction at the appearance of an intact village that appeared as I headed in the opposite direction to that of Kalion.

“If I shoot about 30 of them, they will come out pretty well, right?”

Yes, I’ve been accumulating some experience points since before, but I only got 3 skills after killing 3 of them. So this time too, if you catch all 30 with a bow, you will definitely be able to acquire the skill.

“Kekek?”

First of all, I swung my bow at the body of the guy near the grass. It is to create an appropriate half-tone state through thorough calculation so that you do not accidentally hit your head and die in one shot.

“First one”

f*ck!!!

“Quan…?”

And it was an incredibly easy task for me, who was supported by all kinds of skills and had a track record of killing goblins dozens of times.

If he doesn’t faint in one hit, step on him and shoot him with an arrow. Then, surprisingly, the enemy would be dead along with the proficiency.

If they don’t fall down by hitting the body, the next step is the jaw. Adjust the power so that even if you break the jaw, you will not die.

In this act, the newly learned skill [Torture] Unintentionally showed the light.

+

[Name: Advisor] [Lv: 1]

[Category: Skill]

[Description: The more you inflict physical and mental pain on a target, the easier it is to read and control the target’s mind. Furthermore, by learning a way to inflict more pain in a safer way, when the skill is activated, it consumes magic power to transfer half of the damage to the soul and doubles the pain.]

[However, if you receive damage that exceeds the limit of the soul, the target will die instantly.]

+

This is the effect of the skill [Torture]. So, with this skill, the body hurts less, but the soul hurts warmly, and as a result, you feel more pain.

To be honest, I was horrified to read it.

This, no matter how you look at it, is a sub-compatibility of the EM series. It does not dissipate magical power, but its versatility and danger are one step above the EM series. If you look closely at the angle, you can link it with the [Sadism] Skill to create a synergistic effect.

Good. It’s good…But it feels like the karma I’ve accumulated has exploded when I look here and there.

f*ck, I don’t know if someone sees my skill settings and misunderstands me as an assassin or torturer secretly raised somewhere.

For now, let’s focus on getting the [Bow]. I aimed for the head of the guy who had broken his jaw halfway, pulled the bowstring and let go.

Peeing!

“Keck!”

As soon as the guy whose eyebrows were pierced neatly passed away, the other goblins around him began to tremble and stir up a fuss. It’s just the beginning and you’ll soon be following in this guy’s footsteps, so don’t worry.

I grabbed my bow, which had become a club, and swung it towards them as I approached. Each time, it was divided into halves: those who screamed and tried to run away, and those who half-renounced and aimed their weapons at me.

Those who hope to fight are those who are at least in their right mind, and those who don’t are those who fall into extreme panic and suffer from abnormal status [Fear].

Perhaps the effect of the skill [Sadism] Still remains, so the magic power is dark red, so I spurred this frightening situation. On top of that, the guy with the shadows flowing all over his body like clothes suddenly killed his compatriots… That must be scary.

In fact, to those goblins, I’m no different than the reaper of death. What you do is no different.

Then, let’s prioritize those who want to run away and start working on skills.

Puck, Puck! Kik Tung!

Wield the bow to knock down enemies, then pull the bow to shoot. The speed of the battle itself was slow, perhaps because of the limited magic power, but thanks to the [Fighting] Skill, the bare-body battle itself was corrected, so the movement using the body became smooth.

As the strength of the body through magic decreased, I had to move my feet more, so it was hard, but it didn’t feel bad.

When I moved using magic, I had a strong feeling that my body was being led by magic, but now I felt strongly that I was moving my body myself.

Perhaps this is happening because my strength stats are too low compared to my intelligence. At least, it may have been that he was able to follow the senses that he had forcibly raised with his magical powers because of his high skill level.

“Whoa…”

It has been a long time since I moved like a machine, so I felt comfortable.

It’s one thing to get devastated if you repeat the same thing too much, but those who have tried to move their bodies like this without thinking about anything for a while know that. It’s just a little hard on the body, but it’s really comfortable.

Kikiiik empty!!

Of course, he said he had no thoughts, but he wasn’t just playing with his arms out of ignorance, excluding his real brain. If there was a feeling that fit well during the shooting, I remembered that feeling and repeated the correction the next time I shot the bow.

But if it didn’t work, I killed goblins and repeated fixes and fixes until I felt it again, and all of a sudden the 30 goblins quickly disappeared.

Recalling the remaining sensation in my hand, I tied the last remaining guy with a shadow, moved a little further away, spread my legs shoulder-width apart, and shot an arrow.

Kikkik…

The sensation itself is similar to zeroing with a gun. Inhale and stop breathing. Keep your eyes open and aim at the enemy in line with the aiming point located at the point of the bow.

The force to draw the bow does not have to be too strong. Now I am a beginner. Rather than shooting hard, the goal is to shoot sure and accurately.

Recall the posture in which the most optimal arrow was shot in memory. The sensation of the hand still remains clear. Accordingly, I slowly but surely caught the arrow and fixed it.

Ting

Let go of your hand.

Shuuk!

An arrow that flew rapidly across the wind left a straight black trail unlike before.

Puff!

“So…”

I couldn’t hit it right in the center, but the arrow that pierced the left eyeball pierced the soft goblin’s head and was fixed to the tree behind it. The goblin, who had flinched several times, soon stopped moving and slumped.

[You have completely captured Goblin Village F!]

“…Whoa”

I sighed after confirming the system’s guarantee that I had perfectly dealt with the goblins here. I roughly put aside the system window that was completely covered in front of my eyes and invested all of Kalion’s ability points in intelligence.

If you get hit a lot, the skill that increases your body goes up to level 5. My order was ignorant, so I clicked my tongue. Clear quickly and start with education.

“Grawl”

Perfect!

“Kong!”

I summoned my trusty second and rode on his back. The weapon to pull out is a spear. To be exact, the blade of an ax is based on the spear, and on the other side, the blade like a sword rises like a spike. Solve it and tell me what do you do? It is a weapon called a halberd.

This weapon, called an ax spear, halberd, or polearm, is the most effective weapon that allows you to master 4 of your skills: [Sword], [Spear], [Staff], And [Blunt Weapon] At the same time.

Since the main material is a shadow, it is designed with a structure that can be transformed into anything even with a slight deformation, so it is also good to use [Transformation material].

There are many reasons why the main window was made, but the biggest reason is that the side was made long for no reason and it gets caught while passing by. If you make it into a spear, you can solve it by holding it tightly to your body.

Thanks to the feature of being weightless, there is no difficulty in carrying and moving it no matter how large it is made. I tied Graul and my body into shadows and kicked him once. It was a sign of readiness.

“Kong!!”

Toukang!

At that moment, the guy started running fast and headed straight for the boss. It was very exhilarating to see him move up and down and quickly cross the forest.

I arrived in front of the boss’s lair, but my speed did not slow down. Rather, he started to accelerate even more. It was because I had already figured out the other day that the structure inside and the number of guys present were troublesome.

“Rolling?”

[You have encountered the boss.]

As I focused my magic on my eyes, the rapidly flowing scenery slowly began to take shape. The moment I saw the figure of the guy on the other side comfortably chewing the fruit, I changed the shape of the halberd from a spear to an ax close to a scythe.

Ugh!

At the same time, the dark red magic power wrapped around the halberd of shadow began to glow in a hideous form. It was a signal that the effect of the title [Transformation Material] Had been activated.

The number of weapon skills I currently have is 6. Therefore, 60% enhanced damage was added to this hit.

I swung the ax of shadow as it was.

Suehehehehe!!!

Dang Kang!

I felt a subtle rattling through my hand as if it were going through a barrier. Along with the repulsive force, something round at the tip of the ax flew into the air. It was the boss’s head.

[Successfully subdued the boss [Grid Goblin].]

[The level of the skill [Riding] Increases.]

[The strength ability has increased by 1.]

“Keeck?!”

“Ke, Kkekekek!!!”

[Dungeon Clear]

[After settlement, it will be sent out of the dungeon.]

They belatedly realized our existence and screamed, but the dungeon clear was announced sooner than that. A whistle flowed spontaneously at the speedy work. There would be no point in dealing with them like this.

“Clear the dungeon”

At the same time as the declaration, a necklace with small silver leaves engraved on it was grasped. In an instant, along with the dazzling light, the surrounding scenery changed from the goblin’s lair to the entrance to an E-class dungeon.

As I disarmed the shadow weapon and came down from Graul’s back, Carrion, who was glaring at the sudden change in the environment, was next to Graul, who was licking the blood off his feet and mouth. .

The shiny and shiny scales before the start were cracked and cracked, and their original color had disappeared. I sighed, frowning at the countless arrows and stone daggers behind my back.

“You idiot. Just be careful.”

“That’s right…”

I knocked on the head of the guy who was sitting down on the floor and breathed magic into it. As the wound healed, the things that were naturally placed behind her began to fall.

How should I teach this? The trouble went deep.
