586 Bloodlust, Battlers, Genre
I get ready to attack Kyaro with the arrows I grabbed in hand.
Five more arrows flew my way in complex trajectories.
Above, behind, ahead, flank, and low flying. She must be controlling them with Spirit Magic.
(Really, she's every bit a monster as Balga...)
I caught these merciless arrows all the same. I haven't come out of Acceleration even now.
Because she kept shooting arrows non stop. Everything but me is moving in slow motion right now in this world.
I hold all the arrows I've caught under my armpit.
Kyaro didn't look shaken at all by my action and kept shooting unceasingly.
As expected of a pro, she looks perfectly calm. It's like every single arrow has bloodlust poured into them.
(Well amateurs can't tell stuff like bloodlust though.)
Bloodlust is an internal thing. Killing intent, something that only exists within oneself.
For it to be perceivable by the target, just how intense it must be?
How does it even work?
Is it something physical, like dagger sharp gazes? Or is it something more about something you sense in the air?
Is it the slight sound your opponent make when they're trying to hurt you? Or perhaps, a war cry?
(Isn't it just the target being too sensitive?)
In case of Kyaro, I can tell the arrows are aimed at spots that would decisively kill me.
I think she's going this hard thanks to Balga's remark about me being stronger than him.
She must believe this much won't kill me.
(Has my life taken a turn into a battle manga somewhere? Like how unpopular manga change direction into one.)

My thoughts wandered as I absentmindedly caught the non stop arrows like a rhythm game.
What is my 'genre' anyway?
I thought it was a slice of life when I led a carefree life in my village.
But then it changed into a life board game when I left my village after coming of age. The end goal is retirement.
Then I kept getting myself into more trouble and more annoying events, just like an MMORPG with a high degree of freedom.
But nobody can tell what lies in their future.
So my current situation isn't weird, it's not, it really shouldn't be. Yet I can't bring myself to accept that explanation due to my lack of Blessing and Mana.
(I'm here now thanks to having this power...)
Although the biggest culprit is this world's god who reincarnated me here.
Recalling that put me in a foul mood. I'm getting irritated all of a sudden.
(She's finally run out of arrows. Welp, time to make my move.)
Once the rain of arrows ceased, I walked up toward Kyaro.
Walking like I'm having a stroll. Kyaro also made her next move after noticing that.
She made an attempt to stop me once I had taken around ten steps forward.
(Spirit magic this time huh? She really doesn't want me get close. What do.)
Five small black tornadoes are slowly approaching me.
