Chapter 23: Arrow Evasion Blessing

The "Arrow Evasion Blessing" cannot activate against projectiles from outside of one's awareness. For that reason, Virto made sure to always keep an eye on any incoming projectiles.

*(I can't see it—the projectile!)*

Virto quickly understood the nature of the attack that had just struck her. She adjusted her stance and fixed her gaze on Akaya in front of her.

*(It has impact force, but nothing too serious. It hit my shoulder, but there's no blood, and the pain is minimal.)*

Despite being staggered by the surprise attack, Virto judged that the "invisible projectile" wasn't particularly powerful. After all, it was just compressed air with little mass. While the high speed could cause a noticeable impact, it wasn't enough to inflict significant damage on the human body, especially on an explorer who had become superhuman through leveling up.
