Chapter 257: Arrival! Encountering an Evil Dragon Archer Team (2/2)
“How can this be?!” Stingham shouted several minutes later, his eyes full of disbelief, as he failed his first attempt.
“What went wrong? How could the most handsome me make any mistakes?”
Several more minutes passed.
“…… How can I still not succeed?!” Stingham shouted as he failed yet again. His mouth hung wide open in shock.
More time passed. By this point, Stingham seemed to be on the verge of going crazy.
“What’s wrong?”
Ayrin perplexedly looked at Stingham as he said, “It’s not difficult. So how come you can’t succeed?”
“It’s clearly extremely complex and difficult. How can I learn this… that guy definitely just got lucky and coincidentally managed to learn it. That’s why he is intentionally saying these things,” Stingham angrily roared in his heart as he felt the urge to spit blood. But at this moment, Ayrin suddenly closed the scripture in his hands as he muttered, “This Far Sight also doesn’t seem to be very difficult. Let me try it out.”
Zap…
The space before Ayrin suddenly began to tremble as a transparent and pulsating crystal of light appeared before him and condensed into a transparent eyeball.
The transparent eyeball lingered before Ayrin for less than a second before suddenly dispersing into an even less visible cluster of mist and shooting forwards into the distance.
“Wow! So useful!”
Ayrin couldn’t help but excitedly cry out, “It feels just like I am walking and observing the things around me!”
“What?! You managed to learn another one of the Black Witch’s skills?”
Stingham’s face immediately turned ugly.
“This guy’s learning abilities… he’s truly a monster!” Rinloran took a deep breath as he calmed his shocked heart. Afterwards, as he looked at the speechless Stingham, he couldn’t help but spit out, “Idiot!”
“So strong, it can actually allow me to see so far away!”
Ayrin was completely motionless as he completely submerged himself within the skill’s marvellous sensations.
His body hadn’t moved an inch, but he was still able to move around and thoroughly observe their distant surroundings.
The strange entity created from arcane energy seemed to be somehow connected with his mind. As it scoured the surroundings, Ayrin felt as if he was controlling an avatar of himself through the Forest of Evil.
“It’s gone at least a hundred and something meters by now… I wonder just how far it can go.”
Out of curiosity, Ayrin used his mind to control the cluster of mist to go even farther. In the blink of an eye, it quickly travelled another hundred meters.
“It seems like it can travel at least four to five hundred meters away!”
After controlling it forward for another couple of moments, Ayrin finally felt his connection with the cluster of mist begin to weaken as the visions he saw became increasingly blurry. It seemed like four or five hundred meters was the current limit of the skill.
But it was already enough to completely shock him.
This was because in a battlefield like this where the complexity and obstructions of the terrain around them made it difficult to see more than ten meters around them, this skill was unbelievably useful.
“What’s that?”
At this moment, the blurry figure of a strangely dressed archer suddenly emerged in Ayrin’s mental picture.
“Rinloran! Stingham!” Ayrin quietly and anxiously shouted.
The Evil Dragon Archers!
Ayrin immediately matched the appearance of the figure before him with the description from the Office of Special Affairs. It was an Evil Dragon Archer!
In the past several years, the Evil Dragon Followers had failed to delude any particularly talented arcane masters into defecting because these particularly talented arcane masters were always able to succeed in obtaining glory and lordship, and becoming famous atop Doraster even without the Evil Dragon’s powers.
Thus, although the Evil Dragon Followers were terrifyingly strong, they still had far less peak level arcane masters like Liszt than the two kingdoms.
To create more powerful arcane teams, the Evil Dragon Followers used methods to recruit large numbers of less talented arcane masters – many of which who could not even open three gates – and trained them to become archers. Through usage of special arrows created from the bones and crystals of demonic beasts, these less talented arcane masters were still able to pose a threat to the strongest of arcane masters.
Before determining the location of Fallen Shadow Valley and launching the assault, the two kingdoms had believed that the numbers of Evil Dragon Archer squads were very low. However, now that the fight had begun, they realized that there was a shocking number of these archer squads. Practically every single Path of Evil around the valley was patrolled and guarded by one.
“What’s wrong? Is it the enemy?” Stingham asked in response as his eyes immediately lit up.
“Come with me, but don’t make any noises!”
A glint flashed through Ayrin’s eyes as he quickly moved into the forest without any hesitation.
