Chapter 53: Arash: Is this a cat?
"Boom!" With tremendous kinetic energy, the arrow smashed through the brush in Tom's hand, without any pause, and directly struck Tom's abdomen!
In an instant, the trash can lid hanging in front of Tom was pierced. Faced with this terrifying arrow, the lid provided no protection whatsoever. It was effortlessly breached by the impact.
After shattering the protective barrier on Tom's chest, the arrow found its mark in Tom's tender abdomen, creating a bowl-sized cavity and piercing through his body, even penetrating the trash can lid. It completely pierced through Tom!
"Goodness!" Bai Song, who was retreating, suddenly witnessed the arrow piercing through Tom and bursting out from his back, just in the path of his own escape.
However, the moment Bai Song realized this, he understood immediately that if hit by this arrow, he would be doomed!
Startled, Bai Song swiftly twisted his buttocks to the left, narrowly avoiding the strike. It was clear to see that the arrow flew past the spot where Bai Song's buttocks had been. If Bai Song had been a bit slower in his movement, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Strangely enough, just as the arrow penetrated through the back of Tom and was about to shoot towards Bai Song, its speed suddenly slowed down.
After Bai Song evaded the arrow's path by twisting his buttocks, it was as if the arrow had escaped the confines of time itself. It once again accelerated, flying at a speed beyond human perception. It was as if it had intentionally given him time to dodge the attack.
"Boom!" After passing Bai Song, in a mere instant, the arrow collided two hundred meters behind him, creating a massive crater at an intersection.
Fortunately, no one was present at the intersection at that moment. If someone had been there...
It's likely they would have been blown into pieces, or worse, turned into dust. It would have been as if they had skipped the trip to the crematorium.
Following the explosion, a gigantic mushroom cloud billowed up from the intersection, an awe-inspiring sight.
"Gulp... Did they really go all out?" Turning back to the scene of the massive explosion, feeling the scorching wave of air, Bai Song couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air.
He thought it was already excessive for the enemy to continue the Holy Grail War battles during the day without any concern, but now they were actually bombing the streets. Is this really alright? Where did the principle of secrecy go?
Tom, still holding the remaining half of the brush, stood in place, maintaining the posture he had assumed in an attempt to block the attack. After a while, Tom blinked his eyes a few times.
Then, Tom lowered his head and discovered that his abdomen had a bowl-sized hole, which he didn't know when it had appeared. He immediately placed his left hand on his mouth and pulled down his jaw, his face filled with astonishment.
After a moment of silence, Tom used the remaining handle of the brush he held in his right hand to poke his belly. It smoothly pierced through his own stomach and appeared behind him. When he turned to look at the stick that had appeared behind him, Tom's expression instantly turned sorrowful.
If sadness had a color, it would surely be blue!
Although the moment of sorrow was not brief, it didn't prevent Tom from shifting his gaze to the main culprit of all this, Arash, who had just fired more than ten arrows at him from a distance. Tom's eyes seemed as if they could spew flames.
If looks could kill, Tom would have killed Arash hundreds of times over.
At the same time, Arash was also looking in Tom's direction, wearing an expression of utter surprise on his face.
"So... this is Schrödinger's cat? It actually took my full-force attack head-on and came out unscathed?" Surveying the area in front of Tom, there was indeed a large hole that he had pierced through, but it seemed as if nothing had happened to the cat, as if it remained unaffected.
"If his cat is this strong, then what kind of person is Schrödinger himself?!"
Arash could hardly believe that there was a life in the world with such tenacious vitality. He had pierced its body, yet it continued to exist.
It didn't even seem to be affected by the massive injury to its abdomen, as if it wasn't struck by his fully charged arrow but merely had a little bug crawling on its belly.
Schrödinger's cat, Schrödinger's cat, the identity of that cat obtained from Mashu.
Just by examining the name, it was clear that this cat was obviously an incidental product of Schrödinger or some kind of familiar-like existence.
Yet, this Schrödinger's cat, under the command of Schrödinger, effortlessly parried his attacks multiple times with two brushes and ultimately withstood his fully charged strike with its belly. Moreover, it seemed to be perfectly fine.
If Schrödinger's cat is this formidable, then how strong is Schrödinger himself? Alash found it difficult to imagine.
"Truly powerful... Huh? When?!" Just as Arash was marveling at encountering a formidable opponent, he suddenly realized that the penetrating wound on Tom's abdomen had completely disappeared without a trace, and he had no idea when it happened.
It was as if the blackout that appeared before his eyes when he looked at Tom had been an illusion. Arash seriously began to doubt if his Clairvoyance, which was at the A+ level, was malfunctioning. After all, he shouldn't have missed even the slightest detail.
While he was attentively observing Tom, Tom had instantaneously healed his wound without Arash noticing it at all. Now, Tom's abdomen appeared as flat as ever, as if it had never been attacked.
"Indeed, the cat looks exactly the same as in the video." Mashu, who was standing nearby, also expressed some surprise. Even she, who had some mental preparation, found it astonishing. Arash, on the other hand, had just been summoned and didn't even know his location or who the enemy was, except that he had to unleash his slaughter.
Looking into the distance, they saw that the huge hole on Tom's belly had disappeared, seemingly at some point, and he had even produced a hunting rifle from somewhere, ready to seek revenge.
Tom, small as the cat may be, possesses a strong sense of vengeance!
