Chapter 339

Luluvi herself wasn’t entirely sure what level her strength had reached.

At the very least—

Within the Level 5 combat arena, she still hadn’t encountered a single opponent who could challenge her.

And yet...

Despite never meeting a match there—

The people around her now were abnormally strong.

—Whoosh.

She soared freely through the sky, her body light as the wind.

A Level 6 Assassin weaved through the rain of arrows, moving with extreme subtlety. His presence barely registered—only the faintest ripple in perception.

For an ordinary Level 6 class-holder, it would have been almost impossible to detect him.

But Luluvi—

Was an Observer.

Observers were, by nature, the bane of assassins.

They could perceive fluctuations others couldn’t... see what others missed.

She widened the distance.

Her speed was no slower than theirs.

Her movement consisted of repeated bursts of instantaneous acceleration.

For an archer—

Range wasn’t the only thing that mattered.

Speed was just as crucial.

In the end, as long as your range exceeded your enemy’s—and your speed surpassed theirs—

You would remain undefeated.

If they couldn’t catch you—

They could only take hits.

BOOM—!

The black-armored warrior charged straight at her—

But what met him head-on was a barrage of arrows in countless variations!

「5th-Tier Archery Skill — Reversal Arrow」「Enchantment: Repulsion Kill」

Hundreds of arrows shot in from every conceivable angle!

「Wind Slaughter Style — Ninth Form: Tempest Rain Gale」

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!

He unleashed sweeping slashes, carving tornado-like winds in all directions!

But as the arrows collided with his strikes—

His body was forced backward again and again.

No matter which direction the arrows came from—

They drove him farther and farther away from Luluvi.

He couldn’t keep up.

Even when blocked—

Each arrow carried overwhelming force.

—SPLASH!

Meanwhile, the Assassin—

Had already been struck.

An arrow pierced straight through his body—

Freezing him solid with ice.

Luluvi had deliberately avoided using the poison arrows Rei had given her.

Instead, she used different types.

Her movement and arrows were linked as one.

Just as Rei moved through light—

Luluvi moved through the flow of her arrows.

The four Level 6 class-holders attempted to surround her—

But she kept pulling the distance wider and wider.

Once that distance could no longer be closed—

The outcome of the battle...

Was already decided.

A Level 6 mage could cast spells covering 150,000 kilometers.

But such magic was effective mainly against weaker targets.

Against high-level opponents—

Its power and utility dropped drastically.

The arrowstorm in the sky moved like a living dragon.

At this point, Luluvi had distanced herself so far—

That none of them could even reach her.

What remained—

Was nothing but her one-sided assault.

This was...

Her specialty.

Like a cat playing with mice—

The colorful magic in the sky was shredded by clustered arrow barrages.

And even the wall-like defenses—

Were pierced by tens of billions of arrows converging into a single instant strike.

—BOOM!

The defense shattered.

The mage’s chest was pierced through.

—PFF!

Blood spilled from his mouth.

Damn it...

If I’d known... I wouldn’t have gotten involved.

The mage stared into the distance—

At the tiny, barely visible figure far away.

Just how far had this archer retreated?

And yet—

The rain of arrows continued to flow from the sky.

From over a hundred thousand kilometers away—

She was still attacking.

This wasn’t normal.

This wasn’t a normal archer’s range.

Luluvi’s strength was simple:

Her attack range was directly tied to her perception range.

And Rei’s potions had repeatedly enhanced her perception.

On top of that—

The perception-enhancing techniques Rei had given her weren’t ordinary either.

They were forbidden arts from the Church—secret codex-level techniques.

How could an ordinary person ever obtain such precious resources?

And then—

Her bow.

Forged from materials of a Sixth-Tier, continent-sinking monster.

Even ignoring her own talent—

The sheer stacking of external resources alone gave her an edge over most Level 6 class-holders.

Rei watched quietly.

But suddenly—

His brow furrowed.

The rain of arrows descending from the sky—

Was no longer aimed solely at the four enemies.

It continued falling—

Toward the ground.

Toward the port of Fallen Moon Island.

At terrifying speed—

Targeting the very thugs who had surrounded them earlier.

—SHHHHHH!

This storm of arrows—

Was far beyond what low-level class-holders could withstand.

These people...

Deserved to die?

...Did they?

—Tap.

The chopsticks froze midair.

Rei’s figure had already vanished from the noodle shop.

At the docks—

Countless bystanders watched in horror as the arrows rained down.

They couldn’t tell which arrows were aimed at whom—

Only that billions upon billions of arrows were descending toward them.

BANG!BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG—!

A rapid series of explosive impacts rang out!

A heavily armored man stepped forward, frowning deeply.

Raising both hands toward the sky—

He conjured an invisible barrier, holding back the descending storm.

"Woman!"

His voice thundered upward.

"We provoked this fight first—but attacking innocent bystanders like this..."

"Isn’t this excessive slaughter?!"

But Luluvi didn’t respond.

Her only answer—

Was an even fiercer rain of arrows.

—WHOOOSH!

The arrows surged like a raging storm!

—BOOM!

Lightning struck, scattering the barrage—

But in the next instant—

The arrows reformed.

「Sure-Hit Art · Reassembling Wandering Arrows」

The principle of the bow—

Was inevitability.

How to ensure every arrow struck its target—

That was the answer every archer sought.

Luluvi’s answer was—

Unending arrows.

The countless arrows shattered mid-battle—

Billions upon billions destroyed.

And now—

They reformed.

Hundreds of billions—trillions—

Reassembling in the sky.

Filling the heavens.

Crashing down upon the entire port.

CRACK—!

But suddenly—

Another explosive sound rang out.

This time—

It wasn’t any faction of the port.

Not a Level 6 class-holder.

It was—

A black-haired child floating in the sky.

Kanzaki Rei.

The countless arrows shattered like glittering rain around him.

"Luluvi..."

"Don’t you think this has gone too far?"

"These people may have committed plenty of wrongdoing..."

"But I don’t think every single one of them deserves death."

Luluvi... something is very wrong.

At first, he thought it was just her mood.

But now—

Rei was certain.

This wasn’t just a simple emotional shift.
