Porus who sat at the edge of the pond, stretched his hand, gently picked a delicate pink leaf from the ground. Closing his eyes, he began to chant a mantra softly, invoking a mysterious spell.
Kent, who stood in the pond, continued to stare at Porus with wonder.
As Porus opened his eyes, the leaf began to shimmer with ethereal light, pulsing with newfound consciousness. With a swift motion of his fingers, Porus sent the glowing leaf bustling through the air like an arrow.
“Boom”
As the enchanted leaf made contact with the sturdy rock wall, a loud explosion took place, and a big hole the size of a large human formed at the center of the attack.
Kent, who stood inside the pond, watched in awe as the seemingly insignificant leaf created a gaping hole in the unyielding stone. His disbelief was palpable as he turned to Porus, his eyes wide with wonder. “Master, is this… an Inheritance Asthra?” Kent questioned, his voice filled with amazement.
Porus nodded solemnly, a proud smile gracing his lips. “Yes, indeed. This is an Inheritance Asthra,” he confirmed, his gaze holding a hint of mystery. “And that was merely a fraction of its true power. I used only 1% of my will to unleash that spell attack.”
Kent’s eyes went wide in surprise as he imagined the effect of full power. This small demonstration opened his eyes to the power of a true bow master.
“Master, you didn’t use any bows or arrows. How did you channel that spell without any weapons?” Kent questioned me with a curious look.
“Inheritance Asthra is different from other spells. Most of these Asthra’s can be casted using anything. A blade of grass, a bird feather, or even water can be used to cast them. Also, you can call back the attack even after releasing them.” Porus replied in a calm tone.
“Master, you said you have five inheritances Asthra’s to teach me. Then, how many Inheritance Asthra’s are there in total?” Kent questioned with a curious look.
“There are 33 Inheritance Asthra’s in total, originating from 33 Demi gods. The 13 divine Asthra’s of Arcane Tome part-3 come under these. Apart from these 13, I will teach you 5 Inheritance Asthra’s.” Porus replied, thinking of a person who could teach Kent the 13 divine Asthra’s.
“But, master, what about the remaining 15? Where can I get them?” Kent asked hurriedly, as he had already begun thinking of his future plans.
“The story of these 15 Asthra’s is very different. I will tell you when the time comes. Getting them is not so easy. Some of these 15 are Legacy Asthra’s, owned by a few ruling families in different realms. And some need to be gotten directly from Demi gods in the form of physical arrows.”
Porus explained, thinking of his past, where he encountered a legacy asthra that almost took his life.
Kent fell into a thought after hearing about Legacy Asthra’s. The thoughts of receiving a physical arrow from Demi God felt very unreal to him. But he clearly remembered the information about these 33 inheritance asthra’s.
“Master, I remembered something when you spoke about physical arrows. I read about poison arrows and healing arrows. Where can I get physical arrows to make poison and healing arrows?” Kent asked with a curious look as he thought of13 combat spells from Tome of Destruction and Restoration.
“Boy, where did you learn them?” Porus asked with a weird look, but soon he continued.
“Boy, even though I won’t stop you from learning poison arrows, I must warn you to use them reasonably. The first character of becoming a bow master is righteousness. Using poison arrows will give you success in the beginning. But I don’t want you to depend on them to raise your strength. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Porus asked with a serious look.
“Yes, master. I only use them to protect me in emergency. Also, I’m more interested in learning healing arrows, which can save lives in combat.” Kent hurriedly replied in a sincere tone.
Porus nodded his head in response. “That’s good. As for physical arrows, the disciples of the rising sun used to make them in the past. But in the last decade, their production stopped.” Porus shifted his focus onto his storage ring as he searched lazily.
“Here, use these for the time being. Later, I will teach you how to make them.” Porus replied as he took out a quiver that was filled with physical arrows.
Kent hurriedly moved forward to receive them. “Thank you, master. I will definitely use them for good.” Kent replied with a look of gratitude.
“Okey… I’m done talking. From now on, ask me any doubts without hesitation. First, tell me what you practiced from the Arcane tome of 99 arrow spells.” Porus asked, getting up from the ground. Understanding his momentum, the fire antelope walked far away from him.
“Master, I only learned three arrow spells till now. One is the Void breaker arrow, the other is the Arcane bolt arrow, and the remaining is the wind chain arrow.” Kent replied hurriedly while submerging himself in the pond water until his chin.
“Not bad… Perform me those three spells. I will want to see your mastery before proceeding with our training.” Porus commanded with a long look.
Without wasting another instance, Kent took out the Victor bow from the Pegasus bracelet and took a warrior stance. As he was submerged in the water, Kent lifted the bow above his head and drew the bow string.
“Attack only one leaf of any blessing tree. I want to see your aim.” Porus added while observing Kent’s stance and the way he used his fingers to draw the bow string.
Ignoring his surroundings, Kent focused his gaze on the top branch of the blessing tree, where an old leaf was hanging with weak bonding.
“Vaccus Dissolvo Impetum” [Void Breaker Arrow]
“Boom”
