TN: I missed something in the description for the bow last chapter. The requirements should be Strength OR Dexterity, not both. Anyways, nothing too important.

Chapter 19: Straight Thrust

Scaling down the rock wall, they continued making their way along the volcanic rock path. Their torchlight revealed two paths.

"Which way?" Zhang ZhengXiong asked.

ThornyRose looked back and forth between the two openings. She looked to the left, then said: "Looking at the flow of the air, the left side should be the main path. The right side's airflow is very slow, it should lead to a dead end. However, there might be more chests or other loot. Let's go right first."

Treasure!? Ye Cang rubbed his hands together and directly went towards the right. "Let's go! Right side first."

ThornyRose quickly stood infront of him, blocking his path. "Shaking Dog, you and I will be in front."

Zhang ZhengXiong helplessly said: "Ah, Sister Rose, please call me..."

"Less nonsense, hurry up." ThornyRose interrupted. Zhang ZhengXiong sighed and took the lead to go in. Everyone followed behind.

The flapping sounds of wings were heard before an attacker abruptly entered the torchlight.

"Bat swarm!" Ye Cang readied his longbow. He looked into the pitch-black that only he could see in and counted. "Alot! At least 15!"

"Defend the passage opening! GreenDew, prepare your magic missiles!" ThornyRose stepped towards the left and readied her shield. Flames surged forth to cover her longsword as she activated Flame Strike.

FrozenBlood stood behind her and readied her dagger with a reverse grip. Zhang ZhengXiong held his machete in front, prepared to strike out, as he stood to the right side. Lin Le, listening to Ye Cang, stood behind Zhang ZhengXiong. His two-handed axe held tightly, waiting for action.

GreenDew began chanting an incantation. Her wand emitted light as magic coursed through it.

Shoo~ Shoo~

Ye Cang now had the Hemlock Longbow which had longer range so he began attacking first. He entered a focused state to use Rapid Shot. Needless to say, he was extremely accurate. Every arrow hit a bat's wing, shooting it down from the air. The Hemlock Longbow's power and penetrating ability was much better than the other bow. Any arrow he fired would penetrate in deeply causing a serious wound.

ThornyRose looked at Ye Cang shoot out a ridiculous amount of arrows in a mere second, and he was as accurate as ElegantFragrance (TN: Thorns and Roses' chief archer who is not in Really New Village).

This guy should be the same as her, someone who's extremely proficient with the bow.

Magic missiles flashed by. Due to the wand enhancing the magic effect by +2, the original 3 missiles became 4.

It was then followed by the wand's active ability: Wind Blade, which flew straight at the bat swarm. Bang~ Bang~ Countless silhouettes of bats, hit by the magic, fell and slid towards them, defeated.

"They're coming!" ThornyRose welcomed the first bat with a slash of her longsword clad in fiery light. The flames flowing along the sword made short work of it.

Her shield also easily swatted another one out of the sky. Using her superior senses, FrozenBlood saw the bat that was knocked down, and quickly and quietly stab down on it with her daggers.
