Chapter 84: The Pink Archer’s Entrance

“Where is my target?”

A figure, bathed in soft pink, materialized within the Seimei Well, its gaze sweeping across the surroundings.

Despite the distinctly maidenly hue of pink, the figure exuded an undeniable aura of heroism, a sharp, piercing resolve that surged from their very feet to the crown of their head, soaring skyward.

This was White Wolf, the third Shikigami chosen by Wang Tianming.

Wang Tianming had selected White Wolf’s “Peaceful Celebration: First Intent” skin for three reasons.

Firstly, its original form featured a wolf’s face and paws, which, while undeniably striking, felt somewhat jarring when grafted onto such a graceful and shapely maiden.

Thus, the default skin was out of the question.

Secondly, among all of White Wolf’s skins, “Peaceful Celebration: First Intent” was the only one with drooping ears.

While White Wolf’s other skins, with their ears held high, appeared lively, Wang Tianming harbored a preference for a girl who appeared gentle and whose head one could imagine affectionately stroking—little did he know, this very image would soon be his own.

Thirdly, this particular skin was a limited-edition from the third beta test, imbued with significant commemorative value.

Having grown accustomed to using this particular skin, Wang Tianming naturally found it more aesthetically pleasing.

In essence, this encapsulated the journey of Wang Tianming’s heart, leading him to select this “Peaceful Celebration: First Intent” skin, brimming with such feminine charm.

Yet, while undeniably pink and adorable, even adorned with a cherry blossom tattoo between White Wolf’s brows, the armor she wore and the longbow clutched in her hand were decidedly authentic and formidable; no one would dare underestimate their capabilities.

“A-heh!!!”

Upon emerging from the Seimei Well, White Wolf immediately drew her bow to its fullest extent.

After a brief moment of charging, a colossal pink cherry blossom bloomed before White Wolf, followed swiftly by a thick, lengthy arrow, imbued with rosy energy, that launched forth, piercing through the heart of the blossom.

This was White Wolf’s ultimate ability, “No Self,” a map-wide skill.

It could target any corner of the map, knocking back all enemies in its path and inflicting substantial physical damage.

This elongated arrow, without a doubt, shot directly towards the Nine-Tailed Cat, who had been glaring ravenously at Blade Oni Princess moments before.

Despite being a Super Shikigami of immense stature, the Nine-Tailed Cat was nonetheless repelled by this arrow, adhering to the game’s rules, thus interrupting the pounce she had been preparing to unleash upon Blade Oni Princess.

Having repelled the Nine-Tailed Cat, this “Arrow of No Self” did not cease its trajectory, continuing onward to strike the Snow Woman, who stood behind the Nine-Tailed Cat.

At that moment, Blade Oni Princess found herself under attack by the Snow Woman.

Due to the Snow Woman’s unique freezing abilities, Blade Oni Princess, a melee fighter, felt utterly restricted.

The “Arrow of No Self” not only knocked back the Snow Woman but also successfully interrupted her ability, granting Blade Oni Princess a much-needed moment to recover.

The player controlling Blade Oni Princess was the rather inexperienced newbie woman.

While everyone in the Seimei Well had initially agreed upon a strategy, and despite her lack of skill, merely following instructions should have been straightforward.

However, with unexpected events constantly unfolding and her previously allied teammates now fallen, Blade Oni Princess found herself helplessly at the mercy of the Snow Woman.

“Meow, how dare you interrupt this meow’s attack! This meow will tear you to shreds!”

The Nine-Tailed Cat, bristling with fury, spun around to fix her gaze on White Wolf, who was now swiftly emerging from the Seimei Well.

“You’ve arrived just in time, meow!” she roared. “Take this, meow!”

“Footing, Body Form, Nocking, Raising the Bow, Drawing, Full Draw, Release, Zanshin (TL Note: The eight stages of traditional Japanese archery, known as ‘Sha-hou Hassetsu’).”

White Wolf quietly recited the “Eight Sections of Archery.”

Then, raising her longbow, a mournful wolf howl echoed.

White Wolf, her longbow raised, pointed directly at the Nine-Tailed Cat and declared, “Your turn!”
