The Arcane Archer

Chapter 12

The old-man motioned for some people nearby and started talking to them and issuing some orders. I took this chance to run off to where the explosion was and follow the part of the deal that I would fix the problem even if I didn"t really do it. Mostly cause I was nice.

After a short run to where the nearby building exploded, I quickly found out why it exploded. Inside the center of the building was a ma.s.sive hole that had a tunnel that went somewhere away from the village and a horde of angry buff looking guys were constantly running out of the tunnel.

"BANDITS!" Someone screamed

Upon hearing someone scream that, everyone else screamed in fear, and than ran away like some kind of NPCs from a video game. The bandits seeing this, grinned in joy as seeing everyone being very afraid of them and started chasing after them.

I quickly got my bow out and knocked a arrow while aiming it at whatever bandit was closest to a villager. Once I saw my opportunity, I released my arrow and quickly hit the bandit right in the side of the throat.

*73 Piercing Damage

[You"ve killed a regular Bandit. You"ve earned 25 Xp and 25 System Points!]

The bandit dropped dead instantly and gave me a decent amount of Xp and System points compared to a regular animal that I usually farmed.

I took another couple of quick shots at a few other bandits and quickly finished them off the same way I killed the first one.

[You"ve killed 7 regular bandits. You"ve earned 150 Xp and 150 System points!]

[You"ve leveled up to level 7!]

Seeing this notification from the system, I took a quick peak while taking a couple more shots at the Bandits who for some reason kept on focusing on all the regular people who weren"t fighting back instead of me.

Currently, after killing those 7 bandits, I was 124 Xp out of 170 Xp and I was already gaining even more very quickly!

With another five shots, I killed another 5 more.

[You"ve killed 5 Regular Bandits. You"ve earned 125 Xp and 125 System Points!]

This is just becoming the best Xp farming I"ve had yet. The only main problem about this is that I"m killing human beings....

HOLY s.h.i.t I"M KILLING HUMAN BEINGS!?! WHAT THE h.e.l.l AM I DO-

[Because of {Adaptability}, you"ve gained the skill {Trauma Resistance}. You are now are harder to be traumatized.]

[{Trauma Resistance} has leveled up! {Trauma Resistance} has leveled up! {Trauma Resistance} has leveled up! {Trauma Resistance} has leveled up! {Trauma Resistance} has leveled up! {Trauma Resistance} has leveled up! {Trauma Resistance} has leveled up! {Trauma Resistance} has leveled up! {Trauma Resistance} has leveled up!]

[Thanks to your {Adaptability} and experiencing immense amounts of trauma, your {Trauma Resistance} has evolved into {Trauma Immunity}]


ing.... Ok now it doesn"t seem that big of a issue anymore... Guess I"ll just keep grinding Xp!

(A/N- Yes, this probably seems very stupid but I needed to give a reason as to why he was able to kill so easy and just giving him a skill where it didn"t traumatize him like a regular human being seemed like the easiest soooo..... Yeah :P)

Taking a quick look at where everybody was running, I spotted 4 more bandits chasing them around so I shot 4 quick arrows at them and was able to hit them directly in the throat like all the others.

[You"ve killed 4 Regular Bandits. You"ve earned 100 Xp and 100 System Points!]

Quickly checking my system again, I found out I was 179 Xp out of 275 and had a total of 666 System Points. I might want to buy something quickly so that something bad doesn"t happen.

Checking back at the hole in the ground, I saw two more bandits were standing near the exit of the small tunnel as if guarding the pa.s.sageway.

I readied a arrow and was getting ready to fire it at one of the bandits before suddenly a loud laughter came out from the tunnel and echoed throughout the area.

Moving where I was aiming at the tunnel instead of the guards, I got ready to fire a arrow at whatever came out. About 10 seconds later, another bandit came out who was dressed in some better gear and had a prideful look on his face.

As soon as I saw him, I let go of the string and let the arrow fly at him.

As the arrow got closer and closer, I thought that it would hit him directly in the head but before it did, he turned in the direction of the arrow really quickly and caught it. He then turned away from the arrow and looked up at where I was standing.

"Well would you look at that, it seems as if we"ve got a hero on our hands!"

The two bandits who were standing guard started laughing as if they heard the best joke they"ve heard in their lives.

"Why don"t you come down here so that we can have a 1 on 1?" Asked the bandit who I a.s.sumed was their leader.

"What if I don"t want to?" I replied as I started pulling another arrow out of my quiver really slowly.

"Then I guess you won"t mind if I do this!" He then pointed his sword at me and once he did the two guard bandits started rushing at me.

I quickly shot the one arrow at one of them while also pulling out another arrow and shooting it at the second one that was charging me.

[You"ve killed two bandit Lieutenants! You"ve gained 100 Xp and 100 System Points.]

[You"ve leveled up to level 8!]

With those two guards finished I went to grab another arrow out from my quiver but was unable to get one as I"ve run out of arrows in it. I had 5 arrows in my inventory but I might just waste them if I fire them normally at the bandit leader.

Keeping the bow still in hand, I put it down at my side while looking down at the leader who was still looking up at me.

"You think we can have that 1 versus 1 you were talking about earlier?"

"Come on down here and I"ll think about it."

I slowly started making my way down as I though of a plan as to what I would do to not get killed instantly. Right as I was about to get right to the bottom, I came up with a semi decent plan.

Standing right in front of the leader, he continued to just stare at me as he had a ma.s.sive smile on his face. Without even saying anything, the leader rushed up to me with his sword out.

"I accept your challenge!" He said when he was right in front of me.

The next second, he slashed horizontally across my torso. Thankfully to my high dexterity, I was able to dodge out of the way and roll a bit away from him.

[Thanks to your {Adaptability}, {Combat Roll} has leveled up!]

He once again tricked slashing at me with his sword and I channeled my inner dark souls player and started rolling like a mad man. After almost a solid minute of just rolling and a couple of level ups for {Combat Roll}, I was finally starting to get very exhausted.

However the bandit leader seemed to be getting exhausted too.

"You know... You look very... VERY stupid when you do that." He said

"Yeah, I know."

I was still holding my bow in hand even after all those combat rolls and such.

"Why do you even have a bow out? I saw that you"re out of arrows?" The leader questioned

I grinned upon hearing this.

"Wanna see a magic trick then?"

Slowly I started reaching behind my back as if I was pulling out a arrow.

"Like I said, you"re out of arrows so why even pretend that you have some."

I stopped momentarily and shrugged. Then I quickly made a arrow appear in hand through my inventory and fired it at him.

Immediately after, I started spamming my basic magic and creating fire-bolts after fire-bolts at him.

He first slashed through the arrow that I fired at him earlier but didn"t expect all the fire-bolts that I sent at him so they all hit him on different places on his body. He survived the first few hits but staggered back from the force of it until finally it burned through his armor and killed him.

[You"ve killed a Bandit Leader. You"ve gained 200 Xp and 200 System points!]

When the leader"s body hit the ground after everything, there was a moment of silence as everyone just watched what was happening. After that second, everyone started screaming in happiness upon seeing that they were safe.

"Well I hope this gets me some free food or something."
