Chapter 22 - Chapter 22- Deadly Arrow

Arc using the the proper stance this time shot his spear toward the bull monsters, others were also not any late and made their move of shooting weapons and arrows. But Nappa hesitated a little and shot an arrow too with an alloy bow. Gojo still hasn't made his move but it wasn't noticed by anyone as they were too focused on hunting these monsters.

There was little chance of missing the attacks because of the huge number of bulls.

Arc's spear stumbled to attack the head of red coloured bull's head. But it did not pierce it but was stuck in it with a good death wound. Bull was still running like crazy like he did not even care about such a wound.

"Your weapon monster soul is good but your strength is not in launching it. You will have to improve the strength step by step instead of trying to hunt monsters out of limits." Gojo casually said pointing out the arrogance of Arc.

But Arc was not even trying to hunt that monster but a normal bull monster. It was purely bad luck.

Arc wanted to say this but then sucked his words backwards because even though there is a misunderstanding but Gojo's remarks were still on point.

"So, how was your journey to become this strong? You look the same as my age then what things did you do to reach this." Arc finally asked what he had in his mind. Arc and Gojo look younger than other people here.

"Believe me you don't want to know because it will be a blow to your self-confidence that you might never recover from."

"I really wanna know."

"You're bad. Then listen, when I was just 5, I was already practicing with swords. By the age of 11, I was already a master in many regular hand-to-hand martial arts with basic weapon mastery too. Is this enough or do you want to go on explaining more." Gojo was now uninterested in chat because he saw that when mentioning these achievements, Arc's face was already shocked.

'Cough…'

'Cough…'

"I think that was already more than necessary." Arc acted like coughing before saying this.

'Was he holding weapons to practice, when I was just trying to play with other children in kindergarten?' This thought was a vivid image in his mind where a child of age 5 was swinging the wooden sword.

"I have killed 2 monster bulls already but no luck in getting a monster soul," Nappa said in a frustrated tone.

"You are always impulsive and impatient. You should hunt more instead of talking, that way it will increase your efficiency in killing the monster bulls." Vero said laying facts in front of Nappa like always.

Rimuru was playing poison dagger throwing on monster bulls while killing them slowly.

"Hey, are you okay? You should hunt more monsters before the horde of monsters runs away from our sight. Hey, snap out of it already. If you keep your habits of zoning out like this then you will be the meal of monsters next time." Gojo said while trying to move the Arc's body.

Arc was awakened from thoughts.

"Huh! Did you say something?" Arc said it out loud as an instinctive reply.

Others all looked at him like he was some fool and all together in unison said, "Shush, keep it low."

Arc was embarrassed but also relieved that bull monsters did not hear or get alert.

"I meant just focus on attacking monsters so you can gain as many as benefits possible," Gojo explained and he was now looking focused on the horde of monster bulls like there was something specific he was looking for.

He had a red bow in his right now which was looking intimidating for some reason.

Arc also called back his monster soul spear and took his stance one more time before launching it again.

This time it attacked a black bull monster on its stomach piercing right through it.

Monster completely dropped to the ground giving up all resistance in front of the pain. This monster's death would been painful and long but other monster bulls trampled upon him still running.

[ You have killed the Ordinary rank monster - Armoured Bull ]

[ you have not acquired any monster soul. ]

Arc saw these messages appear in the status window in front of him.

He was taken by surprise that this monster is called armoured in the initial which makes the possibility of the monster soul of this monster a defensive type monster soul.

A creaking sound was heard by all the team members here as they saw that this noise was coming from Gojo pulling the bowstring of that red bow which now had the black and purple coloured arrow inside it. The tip of the arrow was mostly purple-coloured.

He was pulling the string with so much strength that veins could be seen popping out on his forearms which were now out of their sleeper build.

Finally, the bowstring was pulled as much as can be pulled but Gojo didn't shoot the arrow immediately.

He slowly adjusted the angle and position of the bow in one direction and finally shot the arrow.

This arrow was so fast that no eye there could trace the direction it was going in. But others did not have much longer to see where it was going because the ear-shattering screaming voice of a bull monster could be heard now.

Like the other time, this time bulls did not continue to move and run in the same direction but stayed still while looking into their surroundings like they were trying to find something or someone.

A screaming voice continued to echo in the forest for a long time. This voice was from a bull monster of golden coloured monster who was much bigger than every other monster bull even a red one.

Its eye was pierced by the arrow that Gojo and only the last end of the arrow was out because it had entered deep within his head.

Slowly, moments and screaming of the monster started to dim down and his body's golden lustre was covered in a little tinge of purple.

"Oh my god! It was poison arrow."
