Chapter 102 – Artemis’ Bow

I got Bob to agree to keep the source of the magic sword a secret.

Of course, the source was Tauro, but he made it with “creation magic” and almost died, so it will never be made again.

I couldn’t respond to this request even if I was offered money, so I had to ask him to keep it a secret.

A few days later, Shin and Rumeya decided to leave the inn, the Dwarf’s Inn.

Both of them had found a place to live and decided to move into a house.

The move itself was easy.

They didn’t have much baggage to begin with.

The problem was that they had to go back to their respective villages to pick their girlfriends up.

For this reason, they decided to take the day off.

Tauro was once again alone, going to the outskirts of the village to confirm something.

Tauro turned around.

“…So, why did you follow me, Aeris-san…?”

He questioned the girl behind him.

“Why, Because Tauro is going to do something, right?”

Aeris said as if it were obvious.

“You’re right, but… I wonder why can’t I have any privacy.”

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s get on with it. What are we doing today? Are you going to make something with your “Creation Magic” again?”

“Don’t deny me my privacy…!”

Tauro was dumbfounded, but he decided to do what he came to do, pretending as if Aeris wasn’t even there.

Tauro took out a bow from the “magic storage”.

At first glance, it was a plain white bow, and Aeris saw nothing unusual about it when she looked at it, but a closer look revealed that it was not made of wood, nor did it look like metal.

It seemed to be made of an unfamiliar material.

“Is that what you want to try today?”

Aeris looked a little disappointed.

“Yes. I got it from a treasure chest in the dungeon, so I thought it might have some special abilities.”

Tauro answered as he checked the surface of the bow in detail.

“Eh!? I didn’t hear you say anything.”

“That’s because I’ve been putting it on the back burner as a low priority.”

“I’m amazed that you would put off an item you got from a dungeon…”

“….? What’s so special about dungeon items?”

Tauro asked Aeris, who seemed to know a lot about them.

“You can get a lot of special things from dungeons. Of course, they only come from the treasure chests created by the dungeon. Anyway, that’s why dungeons are managed by the government. …Did you find that near the dungeon core?”

“Yes, so?”

Aeris pondered for a moment and then answered.

“The deeper you go into the dungeon, the rarer the items you’ll find in the treasure chests. The closer you get to the core of the dungeon, the rarer it probably is. Even if it’s a freshly built dungeon, items obtained on the side of the dungeon core might be worth something.”

When she puts it like that, I feel like it’s going to be great.

It might be a more special item since it was put out before the dungeon core was destroyed.

I was also curious about the fact that I couldn’t appraise it using “True Eyes”.

It’s a weapon with a name, so maybe it’s a good one.

Tauro decided to shoot an arrow at a tree, hoping for the best.

The arrow shot lightly from Tauro’s hand as he squeezed the bow, and when it hit the tree, it pierced it deeply.

Tauro was horrified.

It was obvious that the power of the arrow was several orders of magnitude greater than what Tauro normally shot.

He continued with his experiment.

Next, he put some magic power into it, and a white light enveloped the bow and arrow.

He then shot the arrow at a tree again.

The arrow, enveloped in light, easily pierced the tree with a small hole and pierced deeply into the tree on the far side of the line.

Aeris was also surprised by this.

“That was probably a light magic “arrow of light”!

“Really?”

This time, Tauro was surprised.

Tauro could only use spirit light magic ‘illumination’.

This makes it a valuable offensive magic.

But it might be difficult to use it at night because it’s so conspicuous.

“By any chance, can you strike without using an arrow?”

Aeris wondered.

Surely, the arrows are something I got from around there.

I think I can use it even without those arrows.

Quickly, Tauro tried it without an arrow.

It seemed strange without an arrow, but he put magic power into the bow and held it up.

Then an arrow of light appeared.

When he shot the light arrow at a tree, it was sucked into the tree, pierced a small hole and disappeared through it.

From the experiment, this “Artemis’s Bow” can shoot arrows of light, plus the power of the regular arrows.

It may look unassuming, but its performance was extraordinary.

While the light arrows are difficult to use, the added power of a normal bow is a big help.

This was a big advantage for me, as I was weak and lacked fire power.
