Thanks to the novel written by Beta, even the novices who had never met Leon can 'understand' it to some extent.
Although Leon cannot say that Beta has made a mistake, he cannot deny that the content of the novel is indeed very exaggerated.
After all, Beta's admiration for Leon is obvious to everyone, and she tried her best to use the best words, phrases, and articles to portray Leon's image as best as possible.
What novices see through the novel is Leon with a Beta filter: mysterious, powerful, majestic—a perfect human being who is relentless with his enemies and very kind and considerate to his companions.
And humans themselves are tribal animals in her eyes.
"It's an honor to meet you, Midnight-Sama."
Shino said with great respect.
Today, before the match, she took a special bath, combed her hair, and applied light and delicate makeup using cosmetics sold by Mitsugoshi.
To be specific, she wanted to show her best when meeting Leon. She would never allow any failure. This would be disrespectful to her master.
"Anyway, you have a lot of talent as a shooter, but I want to see it with my own eyes."
"Now?"
"Yes."
Leon said and snapped his fingers.
In the next second, a portal appeared on the floor, and the three of them fell straight through it.
Before Shino could react, they had already reached a strange valley far from Leon's Castle Hall.
"!!!!"
"Is this a monster?!"
"It's a level A chief monster, the freezing tree!"
The two women looked horrified at the distant monster.
The frost in the veins of the earth adheres to the vines, forming a monster. A giant creature similar to a flower, with a water-blue body, two thick tentacles growing from its stem, and sun-shaped petals.
In the past, Leon and Anis had easily dealt with a similar but completely opposite monster.
"Don't worry. Based on my experience in defeating no less than 30 similar monsters over the years, their attack range is very limited. While you are three hundred meters away, they won't be able to hit you."
After all, vegetable monsters have no legs, so they can't rip their roots from the floor and start running after you.
"So that's it..."
"As expected from Midnight-Sama."
The two girls did not expect the legendary-level monster to have such a weakness.
However, the distance of three hundred meters is neither short nor long. Most long-range and magic weapons lose their threatening power beyond this distance.
Shino rubbed her arms. Cats don't like cold places. She gave Leon a perplexed look, as if asking why they had come here.
[We arrived here in seconds. Is this the space magic of Midnight-Sama? I didn't expect to be able to see it with my own eyes.]
She was like a fan who had finally met her idol.
After personally experiencing Leon's incredible magic, the loyalty and admiration of the gato girl increased even more.
"This is for you."
"That's it?"
"The bow and arrow I used to wear in my free time is a compound bow that is much more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows. I want to see how good you are at throwing this distance."
Leon took a compound bow and a quiver with 30 arrows from the storage space and handed them to Shino. Then, he stayed on the edge to observe the girl's performance.
Nyu and Shino widened their eyes in shock at the test he had set.
Should only 30 arrows be used to defeat a level A monster? At a distance of over 300 meters?!
"Midnight-Sama, this is very..."
"I managed to kill from a distance of eight hundred meters and used only one arrow. Think carefully about what you should do now. I have already given you enough victory conditions," Leon said.
Leon had already given her enough conditions for her to win; now it was just a matter of seeing her performance.
Shino was silent for a few seconds and then nodded seriously.
She didn't know how Leon had achieved the great feat of killing a monster of this level with an arrow from 800 meters away. This was not written in Beta's book. If possible, she would really like to see it with her own eyes.
The gato girl thought she couldn't do that kind of thing, but deep down, she was also a proud and confident woman in her skills.
Faced with much simpler conditions than Leon had achieved, she couldn't say, "I can't."
Shino placed the quiver on her back, took the compound bow, and aimed at the nucleus at the base of the frozen tree three hundred meters away, which was the weak point of the monster.
The only solution she could think of was this.
It was very difficult, but simple.
From three hundred meters away, she would shoot the 30 arrows with full force at the core of the frozen tree. There was no other trick.
"Be careful. Although the frozen tree cannot reach you from three hundred meters away, if it perceives the arrow coming toward it, it will defend itself."
"Yes, I understand."
Shino narrowed her blue eyes and focused so hard that her tail was tense. Instead of complaining about the difficulty, she was eager to try.
The hardest test so far, although it is often easier, is similar to the great achievement achieved by your Lord... She is now full of desire to challenge herself.
Leon nodded with satisfaction.
It is all it takes.
Any shooter must have the confidence that they will hit the target.
Shino stretched the bowstring, prepared an arrow, and aimed calmly.
She then started shooting arrow after arrow seriously.
She was extremely focused at that moment.
Finally, after almost 20 minutes, the last arrow accurately hit the weak core of the frozen tree. The tree roared silently and finally fell to the floor, lifeless.
It had tried its best to block, but could not stop any of the arrows fired by Shino. All 30 arrows hit its weakness accurately from complicated angles.
"Excellent!"
Leon applauded with satisfaction.
Shino fell to the floor, sweating profusely.
Her nerves finally relaxed at that moment. The girl looked at her trembling hands and felt amazed that she had really done it.
"Very well, I saw with my own eyes your skills. You exceeded my expectations, Shino. Here is your reward."
With that said, Leon took a huge black firearm from the storage space: Rifle Sniper PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate II.
