Soon enough, I encountered my first target, a Lazarus Sloth, the same type of creature I had faced when I first arrived in this world.
I retrieved my crossbow from the storage ring, immediately noticing my guards studying the weapon with curious expressions. They had clearly never seen anything quite like it before, with its Orichalcum inlays and unconventional design.
Whilst it looked like a bow, it certainly wasn't a conventional one.
Taking aim at the Lazarus Sloth from approximately 50 meters away, I prepared to test one of the key variables I wanted to examine, effective range at different distances.
I channelled a minuscule portion of mana into the weapon, equivalent to what a Noble-rank awakener would typically invest in a basic attack. The Orichalcum wires glowed faintly as energy flowed through the conductive channels.
