Reincarnated with a lucky draw system - Chapter 354

Chapter 354: FALSE ASSUMPTION
The arrow flew towards Astral like a falling celestial star, burning the very fabric is space.

“You won’t be able to stop that. Just get away,” The space clone warned, appearing beside Astral.

“I told you to continue with your job. Not offer assistance to me,” Astral replied, a frown on his face.

“You can’t tank that yourself. Don’t be foolish.”

Astral refrained from replying the space clone, deciding to focus on the task of stopping the fired arrow.

The queen had challenged him, and he wasn’t going to back down that easily.

Fully concentrating, Astral slowly sucked out mana from the surrounding area, creating space devoid of mana.

The arrow slowed down due to the lack of mana.

But that wasn’t stopping it from flying towards Astral still.

Astral deployed so many shield. He layered them on each other, creating a robust mana shields in their hundreds.

The tip of the arrow, now hotter than the intensity of thousands of sun combined landed on the shield.

The shiels were obliterated in an instant.

Melted down till nothing by the high intensity of the attack.

The arrow cleanly struck the head of Astral, melting his entire head off.

“Oh well. Guess I overestimated you too much,” the elf queen said with a bit of disappointment on her face.

She lowered her bow, prepared to leave.

As for the space clone, she was planning to leave it for subordinate to take care of.

“You really are strong.”

The queen stopped on her track, turning to face the source of the voice.

“Ohh?” The queen exclaimed, intrigue plastered on her face.

The head of Astral that should be dead was slowly reforming and regenerating, starting from the neck upwards.

Astral face was finally revealed, with the hoof usually covering it destroyed with the last attack of the elf queen.

“Colour me impress. Not everyday you have someone that survives having their head blown off,” the elf queen praised.

Astral’s face remained neutral. But if one could carefully observe his face, they would notice the displeasure perfectly hidden.

Controlling the mana around him, Astral channeled it towards the location of the elf queen and her subordinate.

The mana transformed into a blizzard, freezing everything in it’s path.

“A challenge huh. I kinda like it,” the elf queen smiled, stringing another arrow to her bow.

With all casualness she released the arrow.

The arrow flew towards the blizzard.

Both attacks clashed, creating a spectacle within the void.

The blizzard clashed fiercely against the arrow launched by the elf queen, but it ultimately lost the battle.

The swirling mass of ice and wind began to fracture under the arrow’s relentless force.

The arrow pierced through the heart of the blizzard, obliterating it in a burst of shimmering heat that radiated like molten sunlight.

Wisps of frost evaporated into nothingness as the arrow continued its path, hurtling straight toward Astral with unyielding speed.

Astral twisted his body in mid-air, dodging the incoming projectile with a swift, calculated movement.

This time, he chose not to block it, sensing the raw power embedded within its glowing trail.

He drew in a deep breath, the cold vacuum of space filling his lungs as he steadied his resolve.

Opting for a close-range assault, he hoped the elf queen might prove vulnerable in hand-to-hand combat, where her archery skills could be less effective.

Astral channeled his energy inward, weaving several enchantments over his form.

The magic hummed through his veins, enhancing his capabilities in subtle waves.

He layered on a speed enchantment, feeling his muscles twitch with newfound agility, and a strength enchantment that made his limbs feel denser, more powerful, like coiled springs ready to unleash.

With a sudden burst of enhanced speed, Astral blurred through the void, appearing right before the elf queen in an instant.

Dark elemental energy swirled around his outstretched hand, coiling like shadowy tendrils eager to ensnare.

Astral lunged forward, attempting to grab hold of the elf queen, his fingers crackling with dark power as he closed the distance.

At the same moment, he unleashed a bolt of lightning that arced around his body in a protective barrier, crackling with electric fury to deter the surrounding elves from closing in and interfering.

“You hold the false assumption that you can best me in close combat,” the elf queen said with a knowing smile, her movements fluid as she effortlessly caught Astral’s hand in a firm grip.

Astral strained against her hold, twisting and pulling with all his enchanted strength, but he quickly realized he was outmatched in this raw contest of power, her grasp unyielding like ancient roots.

She released her hold on Astral abruptly, then swung her bow in a swift, powerful arc, slamming it into him and sending him hurtling backward through the emptiness.

Astral flew unimpeded through the vast expanse of space, his body tumbling end over end, unable to regain his balance amid the disorienting spin.

After what felt like an eternity of chaotic motion, he finally stabilized himself, his senses sharpening as he floated at a great distance from the elf queen, the stars around him blurring slightly from the lingering dizziness.

While his head still buzzed with fuzziness from the forceful throw, an arrow whistled through the silence toward him, its tip gleaming with deadly precision.

Before Astral could even react, the arrow struck cleanly, piercing through his chest and finding its mark in his heart, sending a shockwave of agony rippling through his core.

“Urgh,” Astral groaned, his voice ragged as he clutched the arrow’s shaft, pain radiating like fire from the wound.

“Please don’t take it out. I don’t want to turn you into a porcupine,” the elf queen advised, materializing before Astral in an instant, her presence as sudden as a shadow shifting in light.

“How did you?” Astral managed to ask, his eyes widening in genuine surprise despite the throbbing pain.

“Teleportation. I can teleport to wherever my arrows are,” she explained with a gentle smile, reaching out to forcefully remove the arrow from Astral’s chest, her fingers steady and unhesitant.
