BXBX NOVEL Chapter 163 Reinelle~
The arrow I shot was almost 30% more powerful than when I used it back home.
The way it moved with higher speed and the way it hit pierced the skull of one of the teddies and then pierced another one who was in his line of flight.
That was absurd and from the way that moooved, I felt like that enchanted arrow had become my magic wind arrow.
And those two weren\'t the only ones that died by that single arrow. The arrow literally pierced the second teddy too, and then it collided with the third brown one, which had soft fur, unlike the previous metallic ones.
The moment the arrow collided with it, the water enchantment kicked in and a jet of water blasted inside the bear, blasting him like a balloon.
I... did not want to go into too many details, so I decided not to do high enchantment arrows this time.
Putting them back, I took out some normal wind enchantment arrows and started my \'blood bath\'.
I didn\'t need to move from my path, and I already had the best view of the creatures from above and from the trees.
This was a broken ability, and it was ours to use, so I was happy to kill this time.
The normal wind arrows were also better than what I made back with my dad.
It was good, so I was happy to have everything.
Killing them didn\'t take much time and after finishing, when I was walking ahead, Celes called me out.
[[ Master... looks like she knows about this killing stuff. What should I do? She is a fun person from how proudly grandpa crow looks at her. ]]
I had no doubt such an experienced person didn\'t know about the creatures coming at her and from the way Celes said it; it looked like the Crow was really into his master.
A smile appeared on my face as I saw the crow myself through her vision and sighed.
They were safe people, though crazy to kill these many creatures and desperate to find something.
She did this to the teddy to increase her chances of getting the green core and something like that.
Well, I did not know the reason but then, she suddenly looked at Celes and I was looking through her at that time, so I saw her beautiful eyes.
Those eyes... no, this won\'t do.
Now I was interested.
She called me out, and she was also interested in talking face to face.
Well, before I go to her...
I had to pick up my hunt.
Can\'t just give away what I killed with much difficulty.
I also used too much to kill them. The resources were precious even when I had too much.
Well, anyway, Zoe and I moved forward and at that very moment... she asked me my luck stat.
What was my luck stat again?
[ "Yes... 81." ]
I answered, and a shocked voice replied from the other side.
[ "Get your ass here this instant, dear sir. I might have to reward you if you managed to get that absurd luck to work~!" ]
Her voice and emotions were pure, but her words… weren\'t at the very least.
Well, words were words. I didn\'t mind them at the very least.
This person might be helpful to me or... I can at least make use of this favor.
"It\'s ok Zoe. It will be fine, so don\'t worry~." I patted her head, and she calmed down.
She had never met with any other person, well; she was two days old if I had no say so.
Being hesitant and fear was normal, but I knew she will be just fine.
"O-ok," she answered, and we started walking toward the place the bear corpses were.
With our mobility, it was easy to collect everything quickly and after some time; we reached the place with the person of interest.
"Hey~. Aren\'t you young to be that strong~? Or... oh?"
Right now, my hair and eyes were black, while Zoe had black hair and her special blue eyes.
And I knew there was no way this person could see through Celes\'s <Skill> like that.
This person was covered by a robe and that was a (Level-9) artifact.
My normal appraisal was unable to see any information on a strong person and I had yet to know anything about her to be able to use my blue eyes.
That was its limitation.
But…
She looked at us with her eyes shining with bright pink light and, at that same time, I heard Lucy\'s voice.
[[ *A mental energy-related unique skill has been used on you.
The skill level is very high ranked: activating automated defense mechanisms.
Initiating scan…
Understanding skill…
Gathering data of the caster…
Skill understanding complete. Information on caster has been gathered.
[Unique skill: Eye of truth], a high-level unique skill has been successfully countered.
Master, your intelligence stat has increased by 1.* ]]
"Holy..." I couldn\'t help but wonder what I just heard.
And even more surprised was the person before me.
"W-what… the hell are you?" she asked and pulled her hood back, revealing her face and the fabulous eyes I had been seeing for a while.
Lucy had just said something like an automated defense mechanism.
And it was definitely something like a mental barrier that prevents the use of appraisal skills.
And from all she said, I knew this person with a unique skill that even Lucy considered very high level was no ordinary person.
And after looking at her true, actual, appearance of no disguise, I knew she was far more special than I could think.
"What are you gawking at, you bastard? Just what kind of mental barrier do you have that even my [Eyes of truth] can\'t see through you?
And you aside, what the hell is that person I can\'t even activate my skill on?!"
she shouted while cleaning the blood tear that glistened down her clear cheeks.
With short, purple hair, eyes that can enchant others, and a mature but young appearance, she stood before me.
I didn\'t know anything about this person, but I knew one thing from the way my heart suddenly started beating faster. She... was angry.
Her eyes turned angry, and she took off both her gloves as I hid Zoe behind me.
"I think there is some misunderstanding-" And even before I can speak anything, she shot towards me with the scythe in her hand and a serious expression.
\'Fuck...\' without hesitation, I, too, took out Asta and defended myself from this ferocious attack that definitely had the intention to wound.
-Clank!
"Aren\'t you fast, dear?" She asked and without stopping, swung her scythe diagonally.
"There is some misunderstanding, miss," I tried to say again and blocked the attack while covering Asta with Mana, but she didn\'t stop attacking.
She was serious, and I could see her face up close now that we were face to face.
She was definitely my ideal type, but right now, there was thick bloodlust oozing out of her.
And most of all... there was a smile on her face.
An excited one, and the exact same one I had some moments ago.
I now knew what was going on in the head of this powerful person.
[[ Crow grandpa says she is at it again. Hehehe. Master, I think I like this lady. She\'s just like you~! ]]
I could hear the helplessness-filled sigh of the crow and I could also feel the rush of excitement she had right now.
This psycho person before me loved battling against the strong, not that I didn\'t like it but, I was more careful before picking the fight against a strong opponent.
And before someone like her, suddenly fighting like this didn\'t go well with me.
If I didn\'t know anything about my opponent, there was no way in hell I would even spar with them.
And a fight that involved true bloodlust… was definitely a no-no.
But I should thank Lucy once again.
\'[Origin skill: Three Eyes].\'
For a quick second, my eyes turned blue, and I knew she noticed that split-second change.
But she still continued slashing her scythe at me like a reaper of death, and I just blocked, redirected, and avoided the attacks.
I knew hot-headed people like her would just fight like berserk, but this one was different from them.
She was calm, so calm I could feel her calm heart beats just like mine.
Her eyes were quick and sharp, and observed every single movement of my body.
She was finding openings in my nigh perfect posture and she actually found some and masterfully exploited them.
This fight was fast, so fast that even after Zoe moved away with Celes, we were focused on each other and had exchanged countless blows.
I could feel her emotions at this moment, too.
Emotions of an opponent and someone who was enjoying something after a long time.
And well, I expected it, but she was actually more than anything normal.
And... this damn girl was stronger than me.

============
"You... have a beautiful name," I mumbled blankly while avoiding an attack as I saw everything on her status window with amusement.
What was this…?
Not a normal person, at the very least.
Those stats, those skills, those Origin skills, her age, and everything else.
What the hell had I fallen into...?
\'Fuck...\' I cussed with disbelief and looked at her, who suddenly stopped attacking.
There was a blush on her face and for some strange reason, my heart started beating faster than normal as I looked at her face.
What... was happening here?
