Chapter 58 - 58 Receiving Orders
Colin pocketed the remaining cone bullets.
Then, somewhat begrudgingly, he took out six Magic Stones and handed them to the three apprentices standing beside him with a Crystal of Remembrance, their faces a picture of astonishment.
After improving the ammunition for his Arrow Shooting Skill, the power was clearly enhanced compared to before.
Once hit, it was either death or injury.
But, Colin had not expected to resolve Barney so quickly.
Most likely, this was because Barney hadn't cast any Defensive Witchcraft.
As for why he hadn't used Defensive Witchcraft—
Perhaps Barney was overly confident in his Adaptive Mimicry's ability to hide and his Light Spirit Steps' evasion tactics.
Adaptive Mimicry was indeed powerful, virtually undetectable to the eye alone.
But since enhancing with the Golden Four-leaf Clover, Colin's senses had greatly improved.
Although Adaptive Mimicry made Barney visually disappear,
the strong scent of women's perfume clearly couldn't be concealed by Adaptive Mimicry,
and Colin could still get a rough sense of direction by relying on his extraordinary sense of smell, even if he couldn't pinpoint Barney's exact location.
Therefore, he fired several cone bullets in a covering pattern in the general direction and took Barney down effortlessly.
After all, the speed of the cone bullets fired by his Arrow Shooting Skill had now surpassed that of many rifles from his past life... Barney evidently couldn't react in time, even with Light Spirit Steps.
...Perhaps, only with the Enhanced Reaction Speed gained from the second Level Limit Breaking Sunlight Breathing Technique, combined with Light Spirit Steps, he could barely dodge.
After collecting the Crystal of Remembrance from the apprentices who had been watching the combat, Colin walked towards Barney's body and crouched down to remove the black money pouch from his waist.
Opening it, he roughly counted about thirty Magic Stones inside.
A look of pleasure couldn't help but surface on Colin's face as he realized that not only had he covered his recent expenses, but he had also gained unexpected wealth!
It was a pity, though... aside from what was left on the body, the rest of Barney's estate would be confiscated by the School.
...Perhaps this was to avoid members of the School deliberately challenging each other to plunder resources.
