บท 260: Servant of the Axe - Two Graves

Chapter Type:  Conflict (versus fate)

By the time Shi Xinyi landed atop the Rice Gate, we had our own problems. 

"Damn those archers!" Meng Wa shouted, crouching behind the crenelations.

"If we had a bow…"

"I have a bow right over there!" she shouted.

Well, I mean… how much skill did it take to loose an enchanted arrow?  I waited until a volley fell around us, and sprinted toward it.

No, my powers weren't back yet.  I don't mean I activated Fleet of Foot; I mean I pumped my legs with all the effort and speed I could muster, burning through a fatigue meter I couldn't view.

I mean, really, I'd almost rather have my broken System than no System and a legendary weapon.  But really, what weapon of legend would have me?

But the bow hero I was not, even if I found the monstrous thing ( a daikyu, meant for adult males) easy enough to string.

I mean, the arrow probably knew better than I did.
