As the Ei a incantation rang out, the mystic power took effect on the incoming arrow.
The force behind the arrow instantly dissipated.
Deprived of its momentum, the arrow dropped point-first.
Ding!
The arrowhead embedded itself in the floor in front of Arthur's feet, but he did not even look at it. His gaze remained fixed on the crossbowman and the three people beside him.
With his exceptional eyesight, Arthur could clearly see shock and anger appear on the crossbowman's face, but no panic.
Clearly, the man knew about the Mystical Side and had witnessed similar powers before.
The three beside him reacted much the same way. When the one holding a crossbow saw his companion's attack fail, he raised his crossbow and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Whoosh!
But the result was the same as his companion's: the bolt fell at Arthur's feet.
During that brief interval, the crossbowman had already loaded another bolt and prepared to shoot again, but Arthur chanted at the arrow embedded in the floor.
"xiu!"
Whoosh!
The crossbow bolt embedded in the floor immediately flew back.
"xiu!"
Whoosh!
The other crossbow bolt embedded in the floor flew back as well.
Their speed was not particularly impressive, however. The four attackers had initially been startled, but when they realized the two bolts flew as though fired from a weak bow, they immediately relaxed.
They dodged the two bolts with ease.
Both bolts missed without exception.
"Hahaha!"
"Is that all?"
The four attackers jeered, but Arthur ignored them completely. Unhurriedly, he picked up a quiver, emptied all its arrows onto the floor, and spread them out. His gaze locked onto that area again as the incantation sounded continuously from his lips-
"xiu!" "xiu!" "xiu!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
