Chapter 350 - King tier weapon
The lesson for the green sash knights had finished for the day. A lot of the students still felt like it was unfair that Ray was declared the winner and felt bad that Martha didn't say anything to dispute the fact. They still thought that they had to be something going on between the two of them.
After the students had left, Ray also allowed Flynn and Van to head to the hall to grab some dinner and get some rest. There was a plan to be in another meeting in the afternoon to discuss what to do and what everyone had discovered. Ray had finished his scouting job and only found two students who would be able to go through the process but on top of them, Harry and Kyle would also go through the process.
If they included Martha then that would be a total of five people who would be beasted. Although it didn't sound a lot, Ray hoped it would improve the strength off their army significantly.
As soon as everyone had left the room, an a.d.u.l.t orange sash knight entered the room carrying a fairly large rectangular box on his back.
"Greetings Master Knight Martha," he said as he bowed down. "Your order was finally finished and has arrived."
Martha's eyes started to light up as she brought her hands together. "Oh, thank you so much!" She said as she took the large box off him and placed it on the floor gently. The man quickly left the room as if he didn't want to disturb the two of them.
"What has got you all excited?" Ray asked?
"Just wait and see," Martha replied.
As she lifted the box open and she saw what was inside the box, her joy could not be kept in any longer. She lifted the object out of the box and started to rub it up and down. It was a bow.
The bow was made by Randin the dwarf on special order. He had used one of the king tier Harpy crystals that they had obtained. It was gold in colour with little wings that were pointed at each end. There was also a thin spread indent pattern running up the entire bow.
Martha couldn't stop staring and looking at the thing, she had even completely forgotten that Ray was in the room. When Martha had finished her transformation she realized just like Ray, the bow she was using before wasn't able to bring out her full power. If she tried with the other bow and used too much power, it would just backfire on her.
But right now she had a king tier weapon. The highest grade weapon currently in the entire city. It was even higher than Ray's new sword.
"Well, are you going to use it or just stare at it all day?" Ray asked.
Hearing Ray speak she snapped out of it and quickly and ran back over to the wooden box. Inside they were five arrows that were silver in colour different to the usual arrows she used with a note attached inside.
"Dear Martha, I hope you will like your new bow. Just a little note, while testing the thing it seems that you will not be able to use regular arrows, my best suggestion for you is to obtain some beast arrows but even when creating ones of the basic and intermediate calibre, they were unusable while using this bow. When placing the arrow into the string it will simply be cut and broken down. The only material that was able to be used was Glathreium, as you know this is very rare. At most I was only able to create five of these for you. Please use them carefully and remember to retrieve them when you can."
"Only five!" she shouted. "I guess I'm going to have to try to find a beast as soon as possible."
Martha then grabbed one of the silver coloured arrows and walked over to the balcony. She looked at one of the targets that were around two hundred meters away, the same distance as when Ray had hit the target. She aimed carefully and pulled back. Unlike the bows before, it nearly required Martha's entire strength to pull back the string, she was sweating just holding it in place.
Then, the second she let go the arrow went flying, it shot out so fast, her and Ray were both unable to even see where it had landed, but when looking at the target with their advance eyesight, they could see a small hole had been made, meaning the arrow was able to go through. Looking through the hole further they could see it had even gone through the building it was in, as well as into the ground to the point where the arrow could no longer be seen.
"Wow it's amazing, this thing should be able to pierce through anything, no matter how tough their armour is," Martha said excitedly humming away to herself. Then her expression fell as she realized she would have to go down to retrieve the arrow.
As Ray looked at the bow though he felt a certain energy radiating off it. He couldn't quite explain it but it felt like something was calling out to him.
"Martha, do you mind if I hold the bow?" Ray asked.
At first, she was reluctant to give it to Ray. It was her brand new baby, but she soon realized who was the one asking her, and it was impossible to disobey. After handing over the bow and refusing to let go for a few seconds, Ray finally got his hands on it.
His hunch was bang on, as he touched it a reaction had occurred and a system message popped up.
[Harpy bow is able to utilize the power of the elements?]
[Would you like to infuse an element?]
[Yes]
[Please select an element you would like to infuse]
[Fire]
After going through the option and picking out the fire element, suddenly something started to form inside of the bow. Slowly from the grove in the bow to the end of the string, an arrow made of flames was formed. Ray then pulled back on the bow and fired the flame arrow at the same spot that Martha had shot hers.
As soon as the arrow hit the building, it burst into flames and set the building ablaze."
As Martha looked towards Ray she gulped. Would Ray ever stop getting stronger, it made her think back to the black blood, just what was Ray? Because right now she was pretty sure he wasn't human.
