"Demonic Bow Art: One Finger."
Boom!
It was as if reality itself was being pierced. Eryke felt an overwhelming vulnerability under this simple, immaterial bow.
"Hmm, this is gonna take me some moments to deal with," Eryke mumbled in his heart, then casually raised his palm.
The Sword Will behind him moved, meeting the arrow head-on.
A terrifying shockwave spread from the clash of sword and arrow. The ground creaked and split into spiderweb cracks.
The arrow was powerful, but under his terrifying giant Sword Will, it couldn't even make it waver.
With a thunderous rumble, everything fell silent again.
"You can even stop my arrows?" the guard's voice rang with intrigue.

"Is that the Bow Demon?" The woman with a zither in her lap studied the guard's demeanor and spoke evenly.
