Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 98 The Battle Begins Five Seconds After Meeting

In the morning, in a forest in Arcadia.

"It looks like something is coming this way..."

The soft light was cut into irregular shadows by the lush canopy of trees, scattering across the tree-lined path.

Seemingly sensing the commotion coming from afar, the silver-haired boy, who had been searching for prey, instantly became alert, and the next moment, a crimson demonic spear appeared in his hand.

At the same time, a faint white light shone from Kamiya Yu's body, as the power of the Primal Rune continuously strengthened his physical body.

In any case, this is the forest of the Age of Gods, where a mythical creature or a divine beast could appear at any time, so it's normal to be a little cautious.

After preparing for battle, Kamiya Yu fixed his gaze on the rumbling bushes ahead while gripping his crimson magic spear tightly.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of a massive earthquake, a demonic boar that looked at least the size of a tank burst into Kamiya Yu's field of vision.

It seemed to have noticed Kamiya Yu's presence, its blood-red beastly eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light, before it launched a ferocious boar charge at him.

Any trees that blocked its path were easily knocked down.

"call……"

Seeing the demonic boar charging menacingly towards him, Kamiya Yu took a deep breath, then stomped his foot, instantly launching himself into the air.

Bang-!
The next second after he dodged, the charging wild boar, like a heavy truck that couldn't stop, crashed straight into a large tree beside it. The trunk, thicker than three people could hug, crashed down with a roar, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The wild boar used its charge attack!
But nothing happened!

Meanwhile, Kamiya Yu, who was in mid-air, quickly adjusted his position and poured the magic power in his body into the magic gun in his hand. A scarlet cold light suddenly shone from the gun.

"—Piercing through the Death's Breath Spear!"

While the boar was confused because it had lost its target, Kamiya Yu aimed the tip of his gun at its head and then threw it with all his might.

To maximize the damage from the penetration, he deliberately gathered the magic spears that should have been scattered and concentrated them into one point.

Pfft!

In an instant, the crimson spear pierced through the demonic boar's skull, pinning it firmly to the ground.

Even with its seemingly invulnerable skin, it was easily torn apart by Kamiya Yu's magic-infused attack.

After dealing with the demonic boar, Kamiya Yu landed on the ground. He stood in front of the fallen giant beast, gently waved his hand, and the demonic spear returned to his hand.

"Luckily it wasn't that wild boar from Kaludon, otherwise I would have had to spend a lot more time on it."

Looking at the wild boar in front of him, its limbs twitching and unable to resist, Kamiya Yu raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself with great ease.

However, when he examined whether the hunted boar could be offered as a sacrifice to Artemis, he discovered something ominous.

There was an arrow in the wild boar's neck, and it had pierced the artery with great precision, with bright red blood gushing out of the wound.

"Could I have stolen someone else's prey?"

Noticing the arrow wound, the thought suddenly popped into Kamiya Yu's mind, and at the same time, he felt things were starting to get complicated. After all, a hunter who could hit a wild boar in a fatal spot with a single arrow was no ordinary person.

Moreover, this is the territory of the moon goddess Artemis, and Kamiya Yu can probably guess the identity of this hunter hiding nearby.

call out!
However, before Kamiya Yu could speak, an arrow shot out from an unknown direction and landed at his feet.

—This is a warning.

'Stay away from my prey.'

Even if the other person doesn't say anything, Yu Kamiya can understand what she wants to express.

"Looks like Ta-Miao didn't recognize me..." He glanced at the arrows on the ground and thought to himself.

Otherwise, the arrow would have hit his own body instead of the ground.

Therefore, now is the perfect time to run away!
It wasn't that Kamiya Yu couldn't defeat Atalanta; he just didn't want to offend Artemis again because of her.

Moreover, even without my intervention, this fatally wounded demonic boar probably wouldn't live much longer.

Strictly speaking, it was he who intervened midway and stole Atalanta's prey.

"That white-haired guy... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..."

On the other side, Atalanta, hiding in a thick tree branch, was scrutinizing Kamiya Yu's appearance with a serious expression.

For some reason, Atalanta felt a strange sense of familiarity when she saw his short, silver-white hair, as if she had just seen him not long ago.

"Wait! I remember now, isn't this the shameless scoundrel who peeked at Lady Artemis's body yesterday?!"

As if remembering something, Atalanta's eyes widened suddenly, and her gaze toward Kamiya Yu turned icy.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

Noticing the silver-haired boy's subtle attempt to escape, Atalanta snorted coldly, then drew back the bowstring of the Sky Bow and casually shot out three arrows.

shhhhhh!
With a whooshing sound as it cut through the air, three arrows flew at the speed of meteors toward Kamiya Yu's vital points, as if they were about to kill him on the spot.

However, Kamiya Yu seemed to have anticipated this attack. He simply twirled the crimson spear in his hand and easily deflected the arrow.

"Tsk."

Seeing this, Atalanta clicked her tongue in annoyance, but she did not give up. Instead, before her position was completely exposed, she drew her bow and nocked an arrow again.

At this moment, she unleashed all the archery skills she had honed to perfection.

Although the number of arrows fired was the same as before, this time it was three consecutive volleys of arrows.

A total of nine long arrows were hurtling towards the target like a net.
