Chapter 289: 289
The Agile Nibblers were pulled towards this vortex unwillingly . Right after they had come out of their stun, hoping to tear Draco to shreds for his insolence, they were all brought into this spinning force that ripped at their very bodies .
-3,000! -2,500! -2,300!
Every second spent within the throes of this force damaged them heavily, even slightly more than a hit by Sonic Wave . What was special about this new Bow Skill was that it was a continuous cast, and it dealt 12,000 damage in the span of a second .
This was twice the base damage of Draco's shots! Combined with the Sonic Wave passive, his ability to deal damage was greatly boosted .
But was this the end? No . It was just the beginning . Draco had only just leveled up the technique, so he was now acclimating himself to the increased proficiency it brought him .
After the Phoenix Cry Arrow returned to his quiver instantly, he took it out and fired the Vortex technique again . He did this repeatedly over the course of the next minute, removing the remaining HP of the Agile Nibblers around .
Ever since Draco reached level 50, the stat suppression had become non-existent . After all, the level difference between him and them was at most 20 or so levels, meaning that the maximum suppression amount was 25% .
The Heart of the Woods gave him a 30% increase in stats, which was a great boon . After the calculation, he still benefited from a 5% or so stat bonus, so his damage was more optimal .
What was truly overpowered about the Vortex technique was that enemies were forcibly pulled in, making it the perfect counter for the Agile Nibblers .
It didn't matter how swift they could be if they were unable to resist the pull . As such, they were quickly dispatched, leaving Draco to deal with the Wild Chompers who had now surrounded him .
Before one of their mandibles could clamp him into half, he blinked away . He then smiled and used the Vortex on the Wild Chompers .
However, the effect was not as strong . The Wild Chompers were heavier than the Agile Nibblers and their legs had clamps that held them firm into the ground, which was a natural trait of ant-like species .
Still, the force dealt them damage and kept them from moving, as they had to put in their all to resist being uprooted from their ground and tossed about .
Draco was beginning to love this new Bow Skill . It was truly the perfect skill for dealing with crowds of monsters, especially those that were small, nimble and light .
Against a monster like the Large Stomper, this technique would be a joke . However, this was fine . He created the Bow Skill in response to his desire to deal with the Agile Nibblers .
Draco then held the Hawkeye bow and the Phoenix Cry arrow together, observing both of them . He found that his affinity for the bow had greatly increased after comprehending the second level of the Stat Shot Technique .
He paused to get a feel for what the Star Shot Technique was like and what benefits it brought . While fighting, he was too busy trying to defeat his enemies, but now that he cleared out his side, he could do so .
As for Qiong Qi who was being stomped to death and Clarent who was suffering under endless bombardment? They would be fine . . . probably . Draco would just save them later .
The second level of the Star Shot Technique enabled him to create Bow Skills, but its base effect was also greater . The first level had allowed him to have pinpoint accuracy thanks to his Void of Perfection, as well as extreme force with his Body of Godliness' optimal force distribution .
In RPG terms, it gave him a percentage boost to his accuracy and his arrow's speed, as well as his fire rate . The second level went a step further though .
He could now affect his arrow's trajectory slightly after it had been shot despite its speed . This would have been dangerous before, like grabbing onto a speeding car from the sidewalk, only with his mind .
Now, he could make slight shifts . Not enough to make the arrow into a heat-seeking missile, but it could swerve slight obstacles and divert to attack enemies who dodged by a slight margin .
Apart from that, the speed of his arrows had been practically doubled, as well as his base fire rate . He could now shoot 6 arrows in the span of a second, which would tear through the atmosphere twice as fast .
When added to his Dexterity stat, this was a great increase . What made Draco happiest out of all this though, was that since he could begin making Bow Skills, he could gain a new set of techniques to turn into skillbooks and raise his Scrivener level .
Vortex was only so strong because Draco's stats and physique was off the charts . On its own, it would be a strong Common technique, as a rotating arrow was one of the most basic bow techniques in the world .
Draco then receded from his inspection and felt ready to continue . After all, the battle was still ongoing, so he couldn't ogle his techniques forever .
He blinked towards Qiong Qi and stared at the Large Stompers, pondering how to deal with them . With their size, trapping skills were useless, and their hides were also thick, with a lot of fat .
What he needed was something with a strong penetrative effect, so how could he manipulate his arrow to possess such a trait? There was only one way to do so, but it would take a few tries to get it right .
Draco nocked the Phoenix Cry arrow and twirled the bowstring around its fletching . His mind became a void of thoughts and he used his Void of Perfection to lock onto a Large Stomper's eye .
Pfew!
The arrow was fired immediately, and it displayed a startling effect . It spun like a spinning top, but not in the powerful and concentrated manner of the Vortex arrow .
