 He makes his whole body filled with magic power, and sends magic power to the bow of the soft magic tree in his hand.

 Then, taking full advantage of the fact that the bow becomes more supple as it takes in magic power, he fired a single shot.

 The metal arrow, also imbued with magic power, flies over the Gulu Riverbank.

 The shot hits the gateway to the lumberyard.

 That's the sound you hear.

 Perhaps the gateway between the walls of Atmos was made of soft magic wood.

 It is a wood that becomes flexible when magic power passes through it, but becomes very hard if no magic power flows through it.

 If it were used as it is, it would be as strong as a steel gate.

 However, the gate of the lumberyard collapsed with a loud noise.

 The power of the meteor was indeed quite different.

 I thought, "That's not the only cause of the collapse.

 The increased water caused by the storm may have already made that gate half collapsed.

 Even if the gate is as hard as metal, it must have lost some of its strength to be able to open and close it.

 In fact, the fact that the gate has been leaning since it arrived here is the reason why it was targeted.

 I fired a meteor strike and watched the Barka mercenaries charging in, following the trajectory of the arrow.

 If it were true, I would like to lead the charge, but I can't.

 This bow's blow is powerful, but the drawback is that it consumes too much energy.

 After just one shot, I can no longer run as fast as I can.

 So I'm going to ride.

 Normally, I would have ridden on a Valkyrie, but there were no Valkyries or Valkyries since we came here by boat.

 Instead, I call up Norn the Fresh-Blooded Soldier.

 A reddish-black magic stone is taken out of the magic bag.

 I pour my blood and magic power into this magic stone, which I got from the magic labyrinth in Brillia.

 And with this magic stone as the nucleus, I summoned Norn as a fresh-blooded soldier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 But it would not make much sense for me to have Norn in armor here and now.

 So this time, I ask you to take the form of a Valkyrie so that you can carry me when I am tired.

 Using the blood from my body, the Norn will materialize into a form similar to Valkyrie.

 Then, riding on his back, I follow the Valka mercenaries as they charge toward us.

 I had ridden on the back of the Valkyrie-shaped Norn when I had come to this island before, and I felt that the ride was a little more comfortable than before.

 I guess Norn must have grown up.

 Walter enters the lumberyard through a collapsed gate and gives instructions to the mercenaries.

 The response on the part of the Glugaria is still slow.

 I could see why when I crossed the gate.

 Outside the lumberyard, surrounded by the walls of Atmos, there were signs that a number of buildings had been washed away.

 Of course, those who were there must have caused a lot of damage.

 Furthermore, it seems that the inside of the lumberyard, which was protected by the "Wall of Atmos," was not as safe as the outside.

 It was flooded here and there, and lumber that must have been cut down and left behind was scattered about.

 The winds had made a mess of the logs that had been stored there.

 There must have been a lot of lumber piled up high.

 They must have collapsed and scattered in an avalanche on the ground.

 I don't know how high they were piled, but some of the buildings in the lumberyard have roofs that have jumped or have been crushed by the scattered lumber.

 I suspect that fewer people survived that storm day on this island than we thought.

 Everyone from Grougalia who was here was covered in mud as they worked to restore the area.

 Everyone was dressed in comfortable clothes, sweating all over, clearing away the wood.

 Naturally, there were few people in armor and no one with a bow.

 That storm was, from my point of view, just as I expected it to be.

 I knew the storm was coming because of the aye forecast, and I was ready to move immediately afterwards.

 But for those of us in Grougalia, who had no such forecast, the storm suddenly blew up in an unbelievable manner and caused unprecedented flooding in the middle of the state, where this lumberyard is located.

 And it might not have been only a problem in the middle of the state.

 I have heard that the city in the stronghold of the Gulugaria has also been damaged, so I doubt if they have even received proper support from there yet.

 In other words, the survivors of the storm are desperately trying to get things back to normal, when they were attacked.

 After all, these people, who seemed to have made it their top priority to improve their archery skills from an early age, were without the bow, which was the most important thing.

 The swords of the Barka mercenaries swooped down on the defenseless and pointed them at the bowless archers.
