BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 The Quest Has Been Completed!
When Simon asked that question to the system, the hero system immediately replied.
[Of course, chosen one!]
[As the system that supports the heroic chosen one, I will never lie!]
[All the rewards from the quests that you have completed will immediately be delivered to your system inventory!]
Hearing the reply from the hero system, although Simon was still skeptical due to being betrayed in his past lives, he still accepted the system\'s assurance as he had no way of proving that the system was lying until he completed the quest first.
"I only have to kill this sad excuse of a human being, right?"
Simon asked towards the hero system while pointing his finger toward Sigurd.
[Yes.]
The system answered Simon\'s question.
But for Sigurd who couldn\'t see the hero system, Simon\'s actions and words were like that of a sick person.
"Oi kid! Are you out of your mind? Why do you want to kill me? I haven\'t even done anything bad to you!"
Although Sigurd complained, he had already dressed and readied his crossbow.
Sigurd had already cursed his luck for meeting a psychopath. He didn\'t even do anything wrong yet a kid with a screw loose on his head intervened and claimed to kill him.
Sigurd was annoyed especially when he was labeled as a \'sad excuse of a human being\' by a kid.
\'Aren\'t you the same? You are even worse than me since you are talking to air while claiming to kill someone you just met.\'
Sigurd complained in his mind as he reloaded his crossbow and prepared his arrows on his quiver.
"Lock on!"
When Sigurd activated his skill, an aim-like symbol appeared in front of his right eye. He closed his left eye and focused his vision on his right eye.
Releasing the arrow from his crossbow, the arrow whistled in the air and was aimed toward Simon.
"Arrow Shadow Clone Technique!"
The arrow multiplied into ten when Sigurd used his skill as they headed toward Simon. Three arrows headed to Simon\'s head while the rest of the arrows flew toward his limbs.
Sigurd was decisive when it came to eliminating someone or something that threatened him. Even when Simon only claimed to kill him, Sigurd didn\'t take it as a joke and responded by killing Simon.
When Simon jumped backward to avoid the trajectory of the arrows, he couldn\'t shake off the pursuit of the arrows.
It was due to Sigurd\'s lock-on skill which allowed him to install a homing system into his projectiles. As long as his target was within the vision of his lock-on skill, his target could never escape the pursuit of his projectiles.
The only way to counter Sigurd\'s lock-on skill was to either block or parry the projectiles, run faster than the projectiles, or hide from Sigurd\'s vision.
But since Simon couldn\'t run faster than the projectiles especially when it was only a few meters away from him, he could only choose to block them!
"Wind Wall!"
Forwarding his right hand, a wall made out of wind was released from his palm as it blocked the projectiles. The ten arrows collided with the wind wall and a few of the arrows even manage to penetrate the wind wall but they couldn\'t reach Simon as those arrows were stuck on the wind wall.
Seeing that his arrows couldn\'t destroy Simon\'s wind wall, Sigurd clicked his tongue and took out another crossbow that was formerly tied to his back.
"Dual Wield!"
Holding one crossbow in each of his hands, Sigurd activated his skill.
"Dual Lock On!"
After activating that skill, a blue-colored aim-like symbol appeared in both of his eyes.
Loading his arrows on his crossbow, Sigurd activated another skill.
"Enchant: Sharp Projectiles!"
The arrows on his quiver as well as the arrows on his crossbows shone with blue-colored light.
Aiming his two crossbows toward Simon, Sigurd decided to kill the kid using his full power.
"Multiple Arrow Shadow Clone Technique!"
When Sigurd released the arrows from his crossbows, the two arrows multiplied! There were now twenty arrows heading toward Simon at an unprecedented speed!
But Simon wasn\'t fazed even after seeing multiple arrows heading toward him. Even though he didn\'t want to become a hero, the memories from his past life allowed him to retain his combat experience!
Simon\'s mindset was that of a soldier who lived his life on the battlefield. Even when he witnessed thousands of arrows aimed at him in his past life, he only scoffed at those as the only thing that killed him in his past lives was the betrayals by those he loved.
Even the demon lord and the strongest mage in his past lives couldn\'t kill him. What could an average hunter do to him?
Nothing!
Forwarding his two hands in front of him, Simon tightly gripped the air as a long sword made out of wind appeared in his hands.
Using the combat experience from his past life, Simon held the long wind sword in both hands and used it to slash arrows.
-Clang! -Clang!
The sound of metal colliding was heard twenty times as Simon managed to parry all twenty arrows that were shot toward him.
Although Simon\'s footwork and movements were sloppy, his attacks were precise.
\'Sigh, it seems that even if I have combat experience, I still need to train it to retain the muscle memory I had in my past life.\'
Although Simon was dissatisfied with his actions, that didn\'t go the same for Sigurd who was dumbfounded after witnessing Simon parry all of his arrows!
"Impossible! How can you block all of my arrows!"
This time, it was Sigurd who yelled hysterically as he couldn\'t believe that his full-powered attacks couldn\'t kill a young teenager!
\'I am an adult hunter who tasted blood and hardships for goodness sake! How can a kid who is wet behind the ears block my full-powered attacks!\'
Sigurd aggrievedly complained in his mind but before he could complain again, he saw his vision tumble multiple times before seeing his headless body.
After decapitating Sigurd, Simon heard a notification sound in his mind as a system screen appeared in front of him.
-Ding!
[The Quest has been completed!]
[All rewards have been transferred into the chosen one\'s inventory!]
