Just as the next 5 minutes passed, 30 new humanoids started to appear. Even though I drank the potion, my body still felt sluggish. Even though I don’t feel pain, my body still reacts like a normal hurt body.
Seeing the new lineup, I can see all the other humanoids and even newly added assassins with daggers. Within the new group, there were even shield wielders too!
“Now I can understand why I only had a 0.0001% success rate. The 6th round itself is very hard, how will the others be? No, how many rounds are there?”
This time I didn’t want to take any risk. I quickly pulled out a flame, void, and chaos arrow and placed them in the bow.

Just when I was about to fire at them, I felt some danger from my back. The senses that I developed from battling several beasts came in handy. I directly ducked and rolled. Just as I stood up, several dagger-wielding humanoids appeared. I quickly raised the bow to defend myself and blocked some of the attacks, but at the same time, the void and chaos arrow broke!
I quickly blasted some smoke bombs to cover myself. I quickly activated the band on my hand, causing me to completely disappear. Within the smoke, at the same time, I heard screams from my sisters.
I quickly left the smoke to see several of the humanoids attacking the barrier. Swords, spears, and several spells were being forced into the barrier.
“Oh, it’s no problem. The barrier can take hits from origin level 10 warriors.”
Just as I was relaxing my body, I saw some cracks appearing on the barrier.
“How the hell? Didn’t Eleanor say that it could hold on for at least 2 hours? Why the hell is it breaking?”
“Wait a minute, could it be?”
“System, is everything within this area suppressed to origin level 3?”
[Affirmative]
Hearing it, I was almost tempted to curse the ancestors of complete past generations. So without any delay, I quickly took up some distance from the battlefield and removed the effects on the band.
Quickly, the rest took note of me appearing somewhere else and moved towards me. So I quickly took another chaos, void, and fire arrow and fired them while multiplying them.
The chaos arrow hit the mages and the swordsmen, causing them to quickly turn against each other, while the flame arrow created a wall of flames among the archers. The void arrow quickly took out some of the shield-carrying humanoids.
I couldn’t use {arrows fall} as I might hit the barrier and affect my sister. In a way, right now, it’s affecting part of my power. Quickly, I took out my normal arrows, added {haste}, {penetrate}, and {target} to them, and fired quickly along with {multiply}.
A huge chunk of my mana was taken away, and my tired body was catching up to me. Just as I was taking my breath, several daggers arrived at my location. Seeing that I could not dodge them, I quickly moved my body to avoid the fatal points.
A few daggers lunged onto my arms, thigh, and shoulders. Quickly, I activated a spell, {discharge}. And before these humanoids could react, several stone spikes appeared from the ground, impaling those close to me.
While at the time Austin was attacked with several daggers, Grace almost fainted from it.
Just as I killed all of them, I forced myself to take an arrow and fired it directly at the remaining 3 humanoids, killing them.
“Hah…finally, it’s over.”
Just as I was going to rest, a dagger quickly appeared and moved towards my chest. As I was too tired and couldn’t move, I was unable to dodge it. I could only helplessly watch as the dagger plunged into my heart, scaring all those who were watching.
Just as the dagger was about to move closer to my heart, some runes quickly activated on my body, causing intense light, and forcing me to close my eyes. After a few minutes, I opened them and saw a tall woman with black hair standing in front of me.
“Master?”
Before I could ask, I saw the humanoid in front of me explode and die. Then she turned to me, and I quickly moved to talk to her. But one looks into her eyes, and I shut up.
I could see it in her now cold eyes, rage, an extremely highly burning rage. Just as she was about to talk to me, space wrapped around her, causing her to be thrown out.
In the viewing room, everyone was holding their breath as they saw a dagger being plunged into Austin’s heart. Grace almost had her heart leap out of her chest.
It was at this heart-wrenching moment that a twist happened: a bright light appeared around Austin. And when it resided, a woman was standing in front of him. She had black hair and a veil on her face. She was holding the face of the humanoid, which exploded shortly after.
Just as she turned towards Austin, she was suddenly wrapped and disappeared. Moments later, she appeared in the viewing room. The people in the room tensed up, but before they could move, Grace did.
“Stop, she’s the Bow Empress, not an enemy.”
Hearing what Grace said, all of them calmed themselves down and started looking Eleanor up and down with interest. Even Olivia was interested.
As a rare female imperial, Eleanor was indeed the goal of several young aspiring girls, not to forget that Eleanor herself created the path for the bow users.
As everyone was looking at Eleanor, the said person was looking at the screen. To be more precise, the image of Austin, currently bleeding. Seeing it, the hidden bloodlust in her almost started to spread, causing everyone in the room to stiffen up.
“That’s enough, Bow Empress. You’re not the only imperial here.”
Bruce interfered to stop Eleanor from rampaging anymore. The bloodlust went away as quickly as it came. There was silence for a minute before she spoke.
“What happened?”
Two words were said, but each word was cold without any emotions. At this time, Grace took up her confidence and came forward to explain the situation.
The more Grace spoke, the more she felt that the anger in Eleanor was increasing. When the story was finished, Eleanor was in the room, taking deep breaths to control herself.
“You people let this happen?”
The moment Eleanor spoke, she released her power, causing many people to step back.
“That’s enough.”
Bruce shouted and released his power to counter Eleanor’s.
“Continue this, and you shall be making an enemy of the Ezraeil empire.”
Right now, a tense situation was taking place, but a fight did not take place. Instead, Eleanor reeled in her power and switched her focus onto the screen.
As of right now, the 7th round has begun, and Austin does not seem to be ready.
