*************************************

The arrow flew swiftly through the skies and skewered a soldier’s helmet. The next second, his head turned into an ice floe. And the impact of the arrow caused the ice to shatter into pieces of crystal, instantly taking his life.

“A Magic Archer! Only one of them would be able to use such magic on an arrow!”

At the moment, my class was confused because of my arrows with skills. Paying no attention to that kind of comment, I controlled my inventory and put the arrow away before it hit the ground.

“The arrow disappeared… An adventurer? But how?”

*Fwoosh*

Taking advantage of the rain, I shot another arrow with the Freeze skill. Since these skills can be considered magic. In a sense, the damp environment should help me conserve some of my mana.

As soon as the arrow froze another soldier’s head, I stored it in the inventory.

“!!!”

“It’s impossible for anyone to be so capable of controlling the inventory, and the Magic Archer class is extremely difficult to obtain.” A soldier shook his head.

“Are you saying that… That man is using magic items?”

“Yes. Also, he’s overprotecting his arrows. These must be arrows with abilities.”

That enemy soldier is proving annoying to me. With the few clues he found, he is able to deduce a lot. Although such information is not relevant, it is never good for such a smart enemy to stay alive.

That’s why I shot him in the head.

Without uttering a sound, the Silence arrow smoothly flew through the rain and threaded itself deep into the soldier’s forehead. Only as soon as he fell dead to the ground did the others notice the arrow.

“!!!”

Everyone took three steps back, and then golden particles surrounded the dead soldier.

“It can’t be…”

“Does he murder a member of the White Snake guild?”

“God. Even if that guy gets out of here alive, the guild members will follow him for life. I clearly remember that every enemy who murders one of their own will be noted on the guild’s most wanted list.”

Emir: “…”

White Snake Guild… Why did the casual enemy I killed end up having a great background??!!!! If you don’t want to die, then don’t go to war, damn it. You bring trouble even after your death!

“Arrows are coming! Raise the shields!”

“Yes, captain!”

The men under Yair’s command raised their shields neatly without leaving any openings between them.

‘- Alex? Where’s Alex?!’ Yair looked around in search of Alex, but couldn’t find him ‘Don’t tell me… That guy hid on purpose to leave me in charge of Emir’s protection!’

‘Um, I’m the only one with nothing covering my head… Aren’t these guys in charge of my protection? Then why did they leave me out of the military formation?!!’

Seconds before the arrows fell, Yair approached me with his shield in hand.

‘Don’t tell me…’

Without a second thought, I removed the tower shield that General Hernan gifted me from my inventory and raised it to protect myself.

Yair: “…”

‘- Well done! For the first time, I’m glad you did something right!’

‘I don’t know why, but I felt like punching this guy.’

***

Thanks to the shields, they managed to block the rain of arrows without getting hurt in the slightest.

But something very different happened to the soldiers surrounding them.

Those in heavy armor were hampered in their movements, but very few of them were unlucky enough to have arrows enter through the holes and injure them.

The heaviest casualties were concentrated among the lightly armored soldiers who did not carry shields on them; the arrows were lethal for them.

Just as fast as it came, it quickly stopped.

Once the rain of arrows ceased, the soldiers again raised their weapons to fight with the enemy.

Emir constantly shot his arrows with skills, killing in different ways the soldiers of the Drial Cenit kingdom. While the rain noticeably improved the performance of the Freeze arrows, he did not stop there; he also shot arrows with the Confusion, Silence, and Incineration skills.

On the other hand, although Yair’s mission only ordered him to protect the Golden Archer, he and his men went far beyond that. Making use of their battle experience as a group, they slaughtered the enemy every chance they got. And thanks to the high quality of their armor, they were able to stay on the war front longer than any other men.

***

On such a chaotic front, there was a large, solitary circle that no one dared to enter. No one except for two men.

“Since when is someone who carries such a rare magic item someone ordinary? Could you explain that to me? Because I don’t buy that you don’t know anything about him.”

“That’s right, I don’t know anything about him,” Dorian said with a smile.

Even after fighting for quite some time, Samael can’t get that man who skillfully dodged his attacks out of his mind.

“He may have encountered them. My kingdom is abundant in magical items. Didn’t you know? Some of the furniture in my house is composed of magical items.” Dorian Aranis casually stated that the most valuable treasures can be found even under the stones in the Castemira kingdom.

Without falling for his provocation, Samael sighed. “And that’s thanks to who do you think it is?”

Dorian just smiled in response.

“Little Dorian, let’s not step on each other’s cloaks between Magic Knights. We both know that those ruins brought the Castemira kingdom great benefits. But as soon as your kingdom saw the gold, they forgot all about the treaty our kingdoms had, or am I wrong?”

“Ah, that… It happened so long ago. Can the Drial Cenit Kingdom ever forget the past? I thought they were content with the trade treaties we’ve made all this time; we’ve been generous enough to rectify our mistakes.”

Dorian Aranis closed his eyes and shook his head, feigning regret for the mistakes of his ancestors.

“Ha!” At first, Samael looked angry, but then, “Hahaha!” he began to laugh very merrily. “Says the one who has a son in every port! How funny! Hahaha!”

“D-Don’t divert the subject.” With veins bulging from his forehead, Dorian tried to keep his cool.

“You talk about generosity when your entire salary is dedicated to paying your child support, and you talk about regret when every night you get drunk and regret having so many children! Hahaha!”

“I kill you!!! Die, Samael Entrial!!!”

Samael touched Dorian’s sensitive nerve to the point where Dorian Aranís began to cast magic after magic in order to silence Samael.

“Why are you getting so angry? I was just telling the truth! Anti-Space!”

“You know too much! It’s time to eliminate a possible informant and take my black stories to the grave! Anti-Space!”

Both magics collided, generating a shockwave in addition to a crater in the surrounding terrain.

“Tsk Tsk” Shaking his head, Samael said, “That’s what you get for not having a contraceptive sticker on your storage ring, Half-Moon Blade!”

“Says the one who lost his virginity at the age of 30! Half-Moon blade!”

Samael Entrial was speechless at first, but then he said, “How do you know that?!”

Waiting for that question, Dorian smiles and says, “Your ex-wife told me about it.”

“I kill youuu!!! Dorian Aranis, DIEEE!!!!”

Of course, in the eyes of a third party, their battle possessed both honor and grandeur.

“Again the battle began.”

“The Magic Knights are on another level.”

“They fight so fiercely that only God knows how much they love their kingdom.”

“You are right; they are willing to go to such levels for the sake of their flag.”

Unaware that they are fighting to carry their black histories to the grave.

***

‘- This is already the second MP potion I’ve consumed. How can this guy keep firing arrows with skills without his mana being drained? It wasn’t like this the last time I saw him fight!’ Yair thought.

Since I felt someone was looking at me, I turned my head to look. I was surprised when I realized that Yair looked at me completely irritated, so with my chest heaving and a serious tone of voice, I said…

“Is something wrong, little Yair? Don’t worry; you can go to the bathroom if you feel like it. This big brother will take care of this place!”

*Fwoosh*

While I have the [Strength] profile active, my arrows with skills not only possess an added magical attack, but the strength behind them is high enough to pierce through various types of material and damage the target.

“Hahaha. You can’t even protect yourself and think about replacing my position. Besides, I don’t feel like going to the bathroom!!!”

*Slash*

On the other hand, Yair uses that strange ability that allows him to spew mana through his sword-… Wait, now that I look at it closely, that attack is very similar to Samael’s.

‘Could it be that his sword not only increases his battle potential but also clears his path to becoming a Magic Knight? Moreover… What are the exact conditions to get the class?’

I’m afraid the conditions are even more hidden than those pertaining to the Mage class. After all, a Magic Knight is a class that is skilled with both a sword and magic.

‘Knowing the nobles, it’s most likely a secret kept under seven keys.’
