PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

98 Chapter 98 Betting it all on one shot

Having separated from Sasha Desmond he returned to the area where they found the Dark-edged Creeper Tiger, a creature that Desmond considered needed a name easier to remember, making a mental note to simply call it Creeping Tiger; Desmond reached the vicinity of the beast’s habitat and proceeded to conduct a small survey of the surroundings.

The area twenty meters around the beast was quite clear of trees or bushes and the only thing that could serve as cover were some rocky areas distributed around the place, observing the beast that was now more than twenty meters away Desmond focused a slight amount of mana in his eyes to slightly improve his vision and take a closer look at the creeper tiger.

This was a trick that he had learned by accident while training the mana burst was that he could slightly improve the function of any part of his body as long as he slightly and momentarily increased the concentration of mana in that area, however, the technique was too crude and delicate to be used in its current stage so Desmond would not use it in combat or at times where he could not focus his attention on properly controlling the execution of said ability.

Looking a little more closely at the appearance of his prey, Desmond analyzed the possible weak points of the creeper tiger and the possible ways to exploit those weak points; sadly Desmond soon realized that most of the beast’s vitals were heavily shielded and it was unlikely that he would be able to secure a lethal shot at them at a range of more than twenty meters.

Despite this, Desmond’s attention ended up focusing on one of these highly protected vital points, since from Desmond’s point of view this part of the creature is as well protected as the others, but that only depended on the point of attack.

In other words, with the correct firing angle, the defenses of the beast should be significantly easier to penetrate, of course saying that it was easier is a relative term since the difficulty of achieving such a shot was incredibly high and that was even without question whether or not Desmond was capable of breaking through the most basic defensive level of the Creeper Tiger.

After taking a short walk around the outer edge of his prey’s habitat, Desmond came to a point where he was able to see the back of it, taking a quick look around Desmond found what he thought would be the point of a perfect shot.

As quietly as possible, Desmond climbed a tall, foliage tree, having reached a height of about six to seven meters, Desmond had a difficult time looking for a foothold that was adequate for what he wanted to achieve; But in the end, the goddess of fortune decided to take pity on this persevering hunter and provided him with the perfect place to execute her shot.

Slightly hidden behind a not-too-thick layer of foliage, Desmond calmly observed the rear of his prey or to be more specific the area of ??the backbone of the same; focusing on the area between the defensive crust plates that protected the beast.

.....

From the place where our hunter was hiding, he had the perfect angle and firing position to attack this defensive gap in the back of the creeping tiger but now Desmond was analyzing whether or not he was able to kill the beast even if he attacked this point. weak of it.

After all, Desmond didn’t want to leave things to chance and act recklessly, unfortunately, he was quite aware of his own limitations; at the end of the day, he was not a protagonist of a wuxia novel who could jump god knows how many levels of power relying solely on a trapping ability and the protection of the plot.

According to his estimates, Desmond was capable of almost instantaneously assassinating any enemy of his level in an ambush attack like the one he performs now, a level above him Desmond would have to attack a vital point and channel as much power from his bow as you possibly can; as for two levels above himself. . . Desmond wasn’t so sure.

He believed that if he ambushed someone two levels above him, Desmond would have to use a special arrow to channel twice the power of his bow to strengthen the shot, he would also have to use full mana shot to have a chance.

But right now Desmond was not facing any beast two levels above him, he was facing his greatest current weakness. . . a creature of the defensive type.

Of course, Desmond had been aware of this situation for some time so this had been taken into account from the moment he argued with Sasha and decided to come alone to face the dark-edged creeper tiger.

Therefore, Desmond already had a reason why he believed he could achieve this feat, or rather he had a hunch about it, but Desmond being a man faithful to his instincts and his ideals of rejecting the impossible were more than willing to bet that he was able to do it.

After the battles, he had been through in the short time that he had been a hunter, especially that with the military, Desmond had realized that while training was necessary to master the basics and keep his status always at its peak. ; it was on the battlefield that true strength was forged.

So Desmond was not only betting on whether or not he would be able to kill the creeping tiger, but he was also betting that only under pressure would his true potential come out and put everything on the line with a single shot. . . He had only one shot, but that was all Desmond thought he needed.

′′ Now let’s see if the goddess of fortune smiles at me this day. ′′ Desmond said with a smile that was brimming with devilishly attractive charm and brimming with danger.
