Summoner of Miracles

Chapter 50: 049 The battle of wits begins

Views:

If Cu Chulainn as Caster is an extremely famous legendary hero whose existence is known even to children, then Archer is a true unknown.

At least, until 2018 AD, even if Archer announces his real name to the world, no one will be able to find his name from past legends and myths.

The reason is simple.

Archer is not a heroic spirit from the past, but a heroic spirit from the future.

“Originally, the so-called ‘Seat of Heroes’ has no concept of time.”

Regardless of the past, present or future, as long as you have enough capital to become a "hero", it will be recorded in the "seat" and become a heroic spirit.

In this case, of course no one would know Archer in this era.

Therefore, if you must call Archer by his real name, it would be more substantial to use a nameless one.

Unknown and unsung heroes from the future.

This is probably the best way to describe Archer.

"Although, for me, as long as I have the means to complete the task, it doesn't matter whether I have a name or not."

With this thought in mind, the servant with the rank of Archer stood in the wind and looked into the distance.

The location is in the deep mountains that look like giant human-eating beasts.

The location is a temple located in the mountains.

Archer stood at the top of the temple, relying on his clairvoyance skills to see places several kilometers away.

There, the expected enemy was coming.

There was a girl wearing inappropriate aristocratic clothing and looking a little anxious.

There are sages holding wooden staffs and wearing disgusting frivolity on their faces.

There are sub-servants holding shields and mysterious creatures standing on their shoulders.

There is a boy who looks frail, but in fact his eyes are constantly shining with a brilliance that cannot be underestimated.

This group of four is rushing towards this side.

"Did you really come?"

Archer's tone was full of expected meaning.

Ever since Berserker was defeated, Archer has been waiting here.

"Since the rest of the servants have been defeated, it will only be a matter of time before they come to challenge us."

Then, instead of launching another attack, it is better to wait here for the enemy to come on his own.

Anyway, no matter what, as long as the enemy approaches, it will be to your advantage to occupy the commanding heights and be able to monitor the surroundings for several kilometers.

For this reason, Archer also specially destroyed the sewers around the mountains so that Luo Zhen and his party could no longer approach from underground like last time.

"This time..."

Red magic burst out from Archer's hand, forming a black iron bow, which he held tightly in his hand.

… …

The moment Archer took hold of the bow, two of Luo Zhen's group of people who were approaching towards the mountains reacted immediately.

"Hostile response detected!"

Mashu immediately tensed up his face and raised his shield.

"Is it really Archer who launched the sniper attack?"

Caster smiled disdainfully, as if he knew Archer's style very well, but his hand holding the wooden staff tightened.

"The opponent is an archer, so there is nothing we can do about it."

Olga Marie also seemed prepared to be targeted.

"So…"

As if Luo Zhen cheered up, he unceremoniously pulled down Fufu who was standing on Mashu's shoulder and threw her onto Olga Marie.

Immediately, Luo Zhen looked towards the mountains and showed a playful smile.

"Just follow the plan and neutralize Archer's sniper attack!"

Luo Zhen's words made everyone around him laugh.

Then, surging magic bloomed all around.

… …

"What…?"

Archer, who was preparing to shoot, suddenly stared.

I saw that within the range of his clairvoyance, the actions of Luo Zhen and his group, who were rushing towards this side, suddenly changed.

"This is a secret move! See clearly!"

Caster shouted, raised the wooden staff in his hand, spun it for a while, and then knocked it heavily on the ground.

With the sound of a clang, a shining rune appeared on the ground where the wooden stick was struck.

That is the rune text, which can replace the effects of incantations and magic circles. Just by carving it, magic can be activated. It comes from the mystery of Northern Europe.

The caster spent almost no time to complete the writing of the rune text and let the magic activate.

The next second, the ground that was hit by the wooden stick suddenly protruded, and thick tree roots drilled out.

As a being who inherited "Run Magic", Cu Chulainn was often called the Forest Sage when he was a magician.

Although there are many types of "Run Magic", by flexibly using different rune characters, various and powerful effects can be achieved. Skills such as "Anti-Magic" and "Clear Vision" can even increase one of the ability parameters. Caster can do all the usage up to the highest level, but they have the disadvantage that they cannot be used at the same time. Coupled with personality factors, caster tends to actively attack.

Now, Caster has shown his active offensive side, letting extremely thick tree roots emerge from the ground, like bridges, continuously extending towards the deep mountains.

Luo Zhen and his party were sitting at the front of these tree roots. As the tree roots extended, they approached the mountains at an alarming speed.

In the blink of an eye, the distance of nearly a kilometer was eliminated by the opponent in this way.

"Don't even think about succeeding...!"

Seeing the enemy approaching at an unexpected speed and hardly giving him a chance to fly his kite, Archer sighed and pointed the arrow on the bowstring without hesitation.

However, since Luo Zhen decided to launch an attack in this way, he naturally would not give Archer a chance to snipe him.

Therefore, even if the sewer could not be left, Luo Zhen also quietly sent his familiar.

Now, it's time for these familiars to come into play.

"Bang!"

Just as Archer's arrow was about to shoot out of the air, the ground around the temple also exploded.

Under the ground, huge demon ants emerged one after another.

"!"

As soon as Archer's expression changed, the demon ants began to move.

They actually seemed to have turned into forts one by one. Instead of rushing towards Archer, they carried huge rocks and projected the rocks one by one using their strange power that was comparable to that of a superior familiar.

As a result, a torrential rain of stones enveloped Archer.

"Just use some useless cleverness!"

Archer jumped up, avoiding the approaching stone bullets, spinning his body, and kicked out a fierce kick, preparing to kick away a rock that was shot at his front door.

Such an archer was not discovered at all.

On the back of the stone he kicked, a delicate rune suddenly lit up.

By the time Archer noticed the magic, it was already too late.

"Boom!"

Explosions resounded.

The stone carved with runes exploded like a bomb, turning into a billowing heat wave, covering Archer.
