Chapter 501: Chapter 226: Beyond Visual Range Strike! (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2
Let’s set aside whether it’s even possible to hit the target; the obstruction of trees and the undulating hills made it impossible for Rein to shoot through with arrows.
If he wanted to rescue the other person, he clearly had to resort to a lobbing method.
However, relying on the vision of a juvenile Blood Feathered Horned Eagle in the sky, Rein could see the other party clearly, but after estimating the straight-line distance, the other party was about 1.2 kilometers away.
Regarding bow and arrow, the direct shot lethality of the elite Night Watchmen and the English longbowmen from Rein’s past life were similar—capable of piercing chainmail within a sixty meters range, with an effective lethality range of about 150 meters to 200 meters for lobbing.
Although this was already the limit for ordinary people, it was not the limit for the Transcendent.
Back when Rein was a Peak Knight, he could shoot directly around 200 meters and still cause lethal damage capable of piercing knight armor; lobbing could even reach 700 to 800 meters, of course, this was using iron arrows.
...
Because wooden arrows were too affected by air resistance; no matter how great their initial velocity, once a critical distance was reached, their power would not increase anymore.
Now, having stepped into the rank of Great Knight, Rein naturally improved this effective lethality range even further!
However, at this moment, the limitation on Rein’s power was the bow in his hand.
Even though the bow he was using was a great bow from ‘Blood Shooter’ Phil, he could only lob it about one kilometer at full draw, after all, Phil was a senior Great Knight back then and didn’t have the strength to use a stronger bow.

Additionally, if he used a lobbing shot, due to air resistance, it would continuously decrease the power of the arrows, but fortunately, the two bags of arrows he currently carried were filled with pure steel arrows.
Their weight was seven or eight times that of ordinary arrows, and compared to wooden arrows, they were not as affected by air resistance.
But the power would definitely be reduced…
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Rein’s head, as he thought of a possible solution.
He first canceled the core Skill ‘Beast Eye,’ while extracting a steel arrow, then he pulled out the great bow hanging from the black horse between his thighs, fitted the arrow to the bow, and only then did he quietly chant the witchcraft ‘Sharpness Technique.’
Soon, a faint silver light shone just above the arrowhead of the steel arrow.
Since the entire arrow was made of metal, even though Sharpness Technique’s effects were mostly concentrated at the arrow cluster, this type of silver glow spread to the entire arrow.
This was exactly the effect of Sharpness Technique!
Looking at the faint silver glow that could last a minute, a smile appeared on Rein’s lips.
Next, came the final step.
Rein needed the other party to stop moving for a while.
This was also the most troublesome part of long-range sniping; the speed of the arrow he released would become slower and slower due to air resistance.
Simply put, assuming the initial speed of the arrow was 500 meters per second, it might be just 300 meters per second when it reached over a kilometer distance.
Estimating briefly, the arrow flying 1.2 kilometers might take about two to three seconds.
During this time, if the target moved, obviously, the sniper shot would fail!
Then, Rein once again activated the core Skill ‘Beast Eye,’ controlling the juvenile Blood Feathered Horned Eagle to fly from behind towards the position of the Black Flame Monk. As it came close, it emitted a sharp yet distinctly predatory cry.
This made the Black Flame Monk, who was casting Black Flame Fireballs below, curiously lift his head and pause to look up.
At that moment, Rein released the taut bowstring.
“Bang!”
The steel arrow, enhanced by the Sharpness Technique, streaked like a bolt of silver lightning and disappeared into the sky.
Rein raised his eyebrows; he discovered that the Sharpness Technique seemed to be even more effective than he’d anticipated. Normally, shooting an arrow would produce a sharp breaking-air sound, but this time, there was none…
The Sharpness Technique seemed to have a significant noise reduction effect on the arrowhead.
After a brief thought, Rein started to understand.
The addition of mysterious particles reduced the roughness of the arrow, especially the surface of the arrowhead. With decreased roughness, the adhesive force of air molecules diminished, thereby reducing the noise produced.
In this way, not only was his arrow more concealed, its power was also greatly increased!
No wonder Trevo, the archer from the Fish-Dragon Team who had learned this metal-series witchcraft, the Sharpness Technique, even though his elemental affinity was not towards metal particles.
One second!
Two seconds!
The Black Flame Monk was staring at the odd blue-purple big bird in the sky, wondering, “What kind of bird is this, seems like I’ve never seen it before.”
At the same time, he was estimating the distance, thinking about whether he could attack the other party with Black Flame Fireballs.
After all, those hovering overhead were indeed annoying to watch.
“Pfft!”
The sound of a blade piercing a watermelon echoed!
This strange noise coming from behind the team immediately drew the attention of many bandits. When they looked back, they looked as if they had been struck by lightning and froze immediately!
Because a scene that left them utterly astonished unfolded before their eyes.
The previously arrogant and domineering Black Robe master manipulating black flames was now pierced through the back of the head by an arrow falling from the sky!
The force of the arrow was so great, it penetrated the entire head of the Black Robe master and shot out through his mouth, the impact was so strong that it pinned him to the ground.
At that moment, the eyes of the Black Robe master bulged out, a look of unresolved death on his face!
