283 Mass Destruction (1/2)
'If I take care of this right, I might be able to finish this faster than expected…'
It had only been a little over 15 minutes that I had arrived at this base, yet it seemed like the chances of me losing were only shrinking away, but…
'Only if I do it right.'
Considering the number of the demons of the army heading towards me, it would be nothing but fantasy if I wanted to continue using the double tap elemental arrow method to pick up demons of this number…
In fact, it wouldn't long before I would get surrounded, and possibly having to rely on a power burst of some sort to massacre my way out. Well, if I did use my speed, it might not be impossible to pick out the demons in the army using the double tap elemental arrow method, but the main problem would be that I would have to basically overdraw my elements from the long hours of fighting that I would have to engage in, as if I was some guerilla tactical unit member…
As such, it was obvious that I couldn't just squander my elements around, while my elemental capacity was at least three times the average elemental practitioners, but that was it, I wasn't ane endless storage of elements, and while I coul recover it relatively easy from the atmosphere, it would take some time and relaxed concentration, which meant I couldn't do elemental recovery sessions at least till the end of the fight, so…
'I need to take care of them all at once, or at least take a big chunk of them out.'
That was obviously the best way to get rid of this ordeal quickly without reaching the point of exhaustion, as long as I didn't put all my elements into it, then my changes of wiping out the rest of the survivors later was almost 100%
Storing the crossbows away for now so that they wouldn't form an obstacle in my shooting, I immediately changed the form of the 'Lightning Cloud Halberd' in my hand…
[ Item skill 'Transformation' activated! ]
[ 'Lightning Cloud' has changed into the 'Bow' phase and adapted the (Longbow) form! ]
While I was quite a bit more familiar with using the sword and the bow for most of the time before 'Lightning Cloud' grew to its current state, it was the first time that I was actually using the longbow form of 'Lightning Cloud', the main reason I was using it instead of my familiar normal bow was obviously due to the elemental veins it contained.
I was kind of unsure about whether the veins would actually be that effective with long ranger weapons such as bows, but I had quite the high hopes for that.
Imbuing thunder elements into the bow, I started activating the vein as planned while adding in a good amount of Arrow Ki, like the 'Thunder Style, Arrow Rain' actually worked, as I started creating thunder arrows at an increased pace, trying to make sure I would at least take out the bigger half of the demon army that seemed to be close to one thousand in number…
The last touch I added was actually something new that I wanted to try as I reached the 3rd elemental stage, and that was adding up some lightning support to the thunder arrows…
I started by also activated the lightning vein of the bow as I started to replace the tails of thunder arrows with those made of lighting elements, this way, while it might not boost the damaging effect of the arrow directly, the velocity increase should be able to do that in a roundabout way!
'Improved Thunder Style, Lightning driven arrow rain!'
This was the name of this trial method that I was going to test at the moment, which I ran over in my mind as I started to stretch the bow's elastic string, which seemed to be of quite a high quality…
'As expected, the weapon forms of the Epic ranked 'Lightning Cloud' are all high in quality…'
