Chapter 46 46. A Genius (2)
They weren't the strongest, nor the fastest, or even the most magical, but they were the only ones among the Divine Descendants adept in ranged combat.
Naturally, their attacks would be extremely hard to guard against.
As a result, most would tend to avoid forming deadly feuds with them, or if they did, they had to kill them on the spot.
But this was only natural. Be it in the world of mortals or the world of the gods, the last person you would want after your life would be an expert sniper!
Seeing the sight of his dead companion, the Lion King was not only furious but also secretly shocked.
He knew better than anyone how shocking the defense of the lioness stacked with his aura could be, but now she had simply died just like that?
No! This couldn't continue. If he left things as they were, that cruel human would pick them off on the spot.
The Lion King roared and furiously charged towards Aiden.
But Aiden had already anticipated that the Lion King would make such a move.
He instantly reached into his quiver and nocked two arrows at the same time.
With such a daunting enemy in sight, Aiden didn't hold back in the slightest. His heart pounded furiously as divinity surged, causing golden flames to burst out of his skin!
Instantly, the very air around Aiden seemed to ignite as terrifying heat surged, making the stone ground beneath his feet start to turn into magma.
The stream of flames rushed forward, concentrating in his arrows in a blinding flash of light.
In this world of blinding golden light, only one commanding voice rang out that seemed to shake their very souls:
[Apollo's Archery- True Dawn]
Screech!!
The two arrows whistled through the air, charging straight towards the Lion King like two emerging fire dragons!
"BOOM!"
A devastating explosion went off, leaving a buzzing ring in many people's ears.
It was as if a little nuclear blast had gone off.
Although the blow was devastating, it had still drained a lot of divinity from Aiden, and what was even worse was that Aiden knew it was not enough to put the Lion King out for the count.
Fortunately, though, it at least bought him enough time to finish off the remaining lioness, and after that, the Lion King's head would be his!
Aiden's glowing golden eyes looked over towards the lioness, and the second he did so, every lioness on the arena floor felt their hearts shake!
Before they even knew what was happening, Aiden had already drawn his bow as his killing intent locked onto their weak points.
Phew!
Phew!
Phew!
Within seconds, countless glowing arrows were shot out, hurtling towards the lionesses like gunfire!
But as Aiden fired more arrows, his expression turned quite ugly.
These damned lionesses just weren't dying!
See, although Aiden and Kain had both managed to kill a lioness that had been stacked, Kain was like a ruthless bulldozer and used his overwhelming might to completely shatter the lioness's defenses.
Aiden was different. He was like an exquisite surgeon. Each arrow was fired with superb accuracy, landing on the same weak spot time after time before eventually breaking through their defenses.
Obviously, one way was much harder to do than the other, but Aiden didn't do this because he wanted to show off; he did it because he had no choice.
He may be a genius, but that only meant that he had outstanding potential, and potential needed time.
His physique was still quite shabby when compared to other Divine Descendants that had always lived a life expected of the bloodline of gods in their body.
The most exercise Aiden used to do before was curse at his useless teammates in online matches, so how good could his physique become in such a short span of time?
The lionesses had also realized that Aiden's arrows would be rendered ineffective if they failed to hit the same spot, so they just gathered in a group, using their own giant bodies to body block for each other.
It was a disgusting and shameless strategy, but it was one that unfortunately worked!
If it was any other creature, even if Aiden's arrows couldn't kill them, they would leave terrifying wounds that could bleed them out and exhaust them to death.
These gargantuan monsters were no ordinary creatures.
Their defenses and vitality were outstanding; they could be shot so full of arrows that they looked like porcupines and would still have enough energy to run rampant on the battlefield.
The secret to Aiden's technique had been found out, and Aiden was annoyed by the shameless moves of these lionesses.
A cruel purple light subtly flashed in his eyes.
His divinity had been slightly drained, but it was far from over. If these beasts thought he would just roll over, they were in for a big shock!
Aiden's eyes burned, the muscles all over his body contracted and pulled to full strength as terrifying geysers of flames erupted all around them.
"Eat shit!"
With a hate-filled cry reminiscent of his old gamer days, Aiden shot countless arrows that arced into the sky before falling back down in an apocalyptic rain of fire.
It was as if he had called in divine artillery.
The scene quickly engulfed in flames as if the world had been turned into a primordial hellscape!
Earth cracked and fire raged, but within the flames, a proud figure was still standing, uninhibited by the sea of fire that was running rampant all around it.
The lionesses, on the other hand, were instantly thrown into chaos.
These arrows were not like the ones Aiden had fired before; all accuracy had been traded away for pure damage. They couldn't simply shrug these off and were sent roaring and stumbling in pain.
The lioness looked back towards Aiden, wanting to get a look at that brutal and hateful archer had left them in this sorry state
But that's when their hearts collectively sank.
That hateful archer was… gone...
