It was an unimaginably horrible mess. The monster came out of
nowhere. Well, technically it did come out of somewhere, but Kaiser and her friend had been too busy to notice,
so it seemed like it came out of nowhere. Kaiser was pale in shock, even the color of blooming roses left from her lips, looking like she saw a ghost. The size of the beast did match what she had imagined before seeing it in reality, though she definitely did not expect it to be this ugly. For the record, this had to be the ugliest looking creature she had ever met in person.
Kon responded to her by giving some ideas on how to be useful in this fight. His golden bow glimmered in the scarce light that the sun provided through the rain clouds. That was the worst thing about this fight. It was raining like a bitch, so she had to squint and wipe her face at least five times a minute. And the monster was roaring like a gigantic subwoofer, only with arms and legs and a huge club that it was swinging towards them.
While Kaiser was combining her two brain cells to come up with a plan to help Kon exterminate the creature, the target had swung its mighty club at Kon, and now he laid somewhere in a pile of construction debris, with his shiny bow no longer in his hands. Before his downfall, Kon had successfully landed a few shots, causing Ugly to scream like a baby and take a few steps back to probably get a better foothold.
Kaiser saw her chance. She couldn’t hear anything other than the thunderous pounding of rain or see more than ten meters in front of her, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. While the beast was kind of taking a moment, she hurried over to where she saw Kon’s weapon fall and quickly took a hold of it. A sudden roar of thunder made her wince, but the bow did not repel her touch. Relieved, she looked around to check the target’s position. It was not hard to spot, because...well because of how big it was. As she was about to start using the weapon, she realised.
“Where are the arrows!?” she squealed, a panic attack coming along with this realisation. ‘Think, bitch,’ she thought to herself. It was a magical bow. How did Kon use it? The whole time they walked together, she never saw him carry a quiver anywhere on his body. Maybe the arrows appeared magically? How…
And in the blink of an eye, she was enlightened with the knowledge on how the weapon was used. Maybe it took a while for the spells to register in her head after touching the bow, but she knew how to handle it now. Another deafening bellow sounded from where the monster was. It only saw one target now since Kon was out of the picture for the time being, and it was Kaiser. She held the bow steadily, drawing the string and watching in amusement as an arrow made completely out of her mana materialize out of thin air. Aiming at the monster, she made sure she got a clean shot before releasing the string, letting the arrow cut through the air and the raindrops, eventually hitting the target and causing it to stagger back.
She wouldn’t wait to watch it happen though. Right after she fired that shot, she would pull at the string again, letting more mana flow into the arrow this time, for a much more powerful shot. She would fire it immediately after charging it, which didn’t take much time anyway. As the arrow was released, thunder would boom frighteningly from the skies. So the beast would hopefully be taken down by two consecutive shots. She was pretty sure there was no way the shots could have missed given the size of the target. She also timed her shots so that it would not coincide with when the beast swung his club. But in the case that they missed, she would have to act upon this result, and put the monster down using other tactics.
Otherwise the starlight wielder would go ahead and look for her partner to check up on him while also looking back every minute to make sure the beast was actually dead, like a paranoid little street rat. The rain was still going hard, but she would find Kon eventually and help him get up and everything, returning his bow at the same time.
“I think it’s dead,” she would say, pointing in the direction of the monster.
“Do you want to cut its head off or something to make sure it’s really dead?”﹙2,833 / 4,000﹚
