He remembered the words that Rem said before.
“If they were to challenge a powerful monster and die, nothing would remain.”
It was just as she said.
In this world, if one died, that’s the end.
Just receiving a level down penalty and getting to retry from the last town you visited just like in the game——there was no such rescue measure.
For example, if the MMORPG Cross Reverie were a death game where 『if you die, the player also dies』, who in the world would challenge the Man-Eating Forest?
If it took half a day to make a one way trip to a moderate hunting ground, who would go to practice there everyday?
Moreover, the return would also be on foot. There was no return spell.
There were no hints thanks to the mutterings of the administrators, and there was no information exchange from a walkthrough site.
If it was just to live, all one had to do was avoid the powerful monsters and hunt the beasts of the forest.
One could live with a normal bow and arrow.
It was the same in regards to magic.
Rather than chemical element magic which, while powerful, could kill you if a single mistake was made, a Summoned Beast that you could make into a shield was safer.
If the life that they only had one of was on the line, people would do the safe and relieving easygoing choice.
It was something that was natural.
Selsio carefully nocked a single arrow.
「Kuh……You damned monster……If an evergreen oak arrow won’t work on you!」
It was an arrow that was green in its entirety.
A characteristic of it was that the arrowhead portion was cone-shaped like a drill. Because a green air current sprang forth from the arrowhead portion, Selsio’s hair fluttered.
Diablo raised a voice of admiration.
「Hou, so it’s a 《Squall Arrow》.」
「Why do you know about it!?」
It was because it was often used against him when he was a Demon King in the game.
It was able to invalidate the Physical Damage Reduction effect. It was often carried by challengers as a countermeasure for 《The Hollow of Jet Black》.
Since it was also effective against monsters that could only be damaged by magic, it was a standard among standards for bow-users around level 50.
「That isn’t bad. If it’s with a 《Squall Arrow》, you’ll probably be able to bestow damage upon me.」
「Of course it will! This arrow is a treasure that I was granted by His Majesty! It’s a supreme arrow that pierces through everything! I don’t know what kind of magic you are able to use, but it will pierce through even that wicked nature of yours!」
The bowstring was drawn to its limit.
——To be honest, I don’t want receive it.
So Selsio was about level 50.
Since it took some time before he made the shot, he most likely added some power with the Martial Art 《Charge Shoot》.
If it’s a 《Squall Arrow》, he would definitely receive damage.
It would probably hurt.
However, if it wasn’t able to give a lot of damage even after doing all that, it would probably make them learn the difference in strength.
Diablo daringly smiled.
His innermost thoughts felt like he was waiting for an injection.
Selsio shouted.
