Chapter 830: Deadly Sniper

Arad was sitting alone in the cave, playing with his magic when he felt a familiar wave of magic emerging. A large black and green portal out of nowhere and two blue eyes flashed from it. “Arad.” Sena walked out.

“What are you doing?” Arad gasped and immediately tried to teleport her away, but his magic failed.

Sena looked at her forearms as her skin turned red and started falling off. “My cells are dying? Fine, just make their membrane thicker.” Her skin resumed its regeneration. “To think I’ll find power in roaches.” Her eyes turned toward Arad, “I’ll be fine. I can survive harsher environments. I’ve come here for a reason.”

“You can stay alive?” Arad sighed, “I thought only me and brother could survive the death curse.” He looked at her. “I can’t get out of here, you know that.”

“I didn’t come to ask you to come with me. It’s another thing.” She waved her hand and gave Arad a faint trace of divine magic. “It’s broken and mixed, I can’t identify to whom this belongs.”

“This seems a bit too weak to work from. Probably a weak paladin, I doubt it’s something bigger.” Arad inspected the magic.

“Whoever they are, they got Selica trapped in a demi-plan with several bandits. She managed to win the fight, but not after getting closer to death than a man munched by a brown worm.” She glared at Arad, “You find him, call me. It might be a demi-god; I suspect that for the fact I can’t track him from this divine magic.”

“A demi-god? How about I just kill him?” Arad looked at her with a grin.

“Forget it. Mortals can’t win against demi-gods, and demi-gods can’t win against the gods. If it’s a fledgling, a newborn demi-god like Eris, you might have a chance. But not against an experienced one.” She looked at him. “Call me, you’ll die otherwise.”

“We’ll see about that. You can sense my magic the moment I start fighting, feel free to come.” Arad giggled, “Not that you’ll arrive in time. He’ll be dead before you even make it.”

“Another thing,” She lifted a finger, “Selica was investigating Jordan, be careful of him as well. I can’t attack a god or a demi-god unprovoked; I would’ve dragged him into a torture room if I could by now.”

“Why is that?” Arad tilted his head, “Why can’t you…not…just fly there and ask a question, or drag him out?”

“It’s like how you can’t go punch your neighbor or accuse them without a reason.” The portal opened again, “Be careful, I don’t want to find your corpse when I come looking for the bastard.” Sena walked through the portal and left Arad sitting there. He sighed and pulled the gravity book again.

“She’s angry…I want to help, but I can’t get out.” He looked at the ceiling, “This is annoying. How could I be there, without going out of here…” He scratched his head with his tail, thinking…

Arad paused and looked at his tail, “I got it!” He smiled with a happy face.

Sena appeared back around Croc’s city and sighed, “With how things went so far, I bet he’ll get involved. I doubt he’ll die, but I hope it doesn’t end up with him harmed.” She glared back and Aria appeared behind her. “He’ll survive long enough in a fight. I don’t know if he’ll win or not, but I can assure you he won’t die from one or two hits.”

“I hope that. Demi-gods who are close to ascending aren’t something that he’s ready to face yet. Tell me if you find anything.” Sena kept walking and Aria disappeared.

Sena looked around, ^I must search the place for more tracks while Lydia cares for Selica.^ She started walking around, looking for any leftover magic, but after an hour she still found none. Due to being so engrossed in her search, she had been ignoring the local wild monsters, and to be fair, they aren’t that different from field mice to her.

The local monsters could feel that she was strange so they avoided her as well, just like bears avoid humans, but in the end, Sena spent so much time walking around that a stone giant finally got irritated enough and approached her.

“I’m pissed off so scram.” Sena said as he walked behind her and she then slowly turned, “Or I’ll…”

CLACK! Something flew past them at a blinding speed and pierced the giant’s chest, ripping his torso in half in a burst of blood and gore.

“What was that?!” Sena gasped and her eyes quickly turned toward the projectile, finding it to be a mere stone, strangely charged with gravity magic, one that she recognized.

She quickly reached to her ear, “Was that you?” She growled into her magic.

“Ahh…Lady Sena. That Giant has been eying you for a while now, did you know that?” Arad replied, munching on something.

“I knew it. What did you do?” She growled.

“I’ve just found out that I’ve got a tail and quite the muscular hips. You won’t believe how fast I can shake my butt.” He giggled. “Want to see it?”

“No, how did you do it? I’m at least five hundred kilometers away from you. You shouldn’t be able to see me let alone snipe a monster.” She growled.

“No, I can indeed see your beautiful confused face. Not directly though,” He added, “Let me explain.”

Due to Arad’s large muscular tail and hips, he could swing his tail at a horrifying speed, and just like a whip, the tip travels far faster than the speed of sound, amplified by his size. That speed reaches well into the tens of times more than the speed of sound.

By using gravity magic, he could force a stone to hold its shape and also prevent it from falling by removing the effect of the earth’s gravity from it. Surround the stone with his void to eliminate the air friction and you’ll have a shot that never slows down.

By firing a first shot that carries with it a [Mage’s eye] spell, he can get a view of his target area, as long as he hits close enough by feeling. Now there is the problem of his magic range, the 40 km limit. Getting around that limit was simple, if he made it so the first shot drops a bit of his magic every 30km or so, he can create a chain of beacons that acts like repeaters for his magic spells. Putting those two effects is only possible since he doesn’t need to spend magic on making the stone fly.

On the second shot, Arad used those beacons to be able to control the shot with gravity magic from afar and steer it in the right direction, to finally hit the target with the assistance of the

mage’s eye vision.

“That’s the rough explanation. I can go into detail about the gravity magic, but it’ll take too long. Three shots are enough for now. They take quite a while to reach the destination, about three minutes so I have to predict how my target will move and do some adjustment with magic from afar to get a hit in.” He added while munching.

“Wait? The first shot carries the mage’s eye and the second just killed the giant, where is the third?” she gasped and immediately heard something loud in the distance with countless

giant screams.

“There are some giants living nearby, it was their leader who sent this giant to kill you. The thirst shot got him square in the face.” Arad giggled, “Think he can sniff around you… as if I’m not around.”

“You can’t keep getting away with this…” She sighed, “And what you’ve been eating all this

time?”

“Nothing fancy, it’s just a bison. I hunted it about a month ago; apparently, things last longer inside my stomach.” He giggled, “Don’t worry, it’s not rotten. I can see your disgusted face

from here.”

“That mage eye of yours is still active? Where is it?” She looked around. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

“At least I’ve got the decency to tell you I’ve got one watching you. You’ve left one at my layer and didn’t even mention it.” He replied with a smug face. “I’m sitting on the mountain’s peak; the sun is quite nice up here. Now I can understand why Merlin and Claug love to use this spell, it’s quite fun watching people from afar, quite entertaining.”

“You can’t do that. When I find this mage eye of yours…” She growled.

“Ah! Ah! I can’t hear you… excuse me but I’ve got wives to watch. I can’t wait for one of those demi-gods to show his sweet face so I can get a headshot from here. Take care…” Arad cut the connection and Sena growled… “AGRAAAAA! Arad!!!!”

Arad cracked his neck and looked into the distance, seeing his wives’ carriage leaving the first kingdom peacefully.

“I wonder how this will develop,” He smiled, shaking his butt left and right with a large boulder at the tip of his tail.
