Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[OP: ]

-OOOOOOOONG!

The being in blue that had been guarding the entire area from the interference from the outside was stunned when the headmaster suddenly appeared before him and punched the protective shield that was present around him.

The action was sudden and out of the blue, but at the same time, the power with which the headmaster attacked the being was so immense that it broke the sound barrier and made a noise so loud that everything around them in the sky and below them on the ground was shaken.

-Terrrrr…!

The shockwave generated from the impact threw Zodiac off, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Ughhh!"

At the same time, Rein somehow finished treating Cradle and brought her to her senses as well.

Though, due to the shockwave from above, even the two of them were also blinded by the sand that got into their eyes.

-OOOOOOOOONG…!

Following the first attack, the headmaster summoned a spell circle with his magic that now seemed more like his ultimate spell even though the spell circle was of a (tier-5) spell.

It seemed strange to them, but at the same time, the unique power that they could feel around him, the immense strength that he exuded right now was something that they could not help but be pressured under.

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiish!

The spell that the headmaster used on the being in blue was something that created a ginormous gust of wind that was concentrated in a small point and from there, it was fired in a way that it seemed like a ray of light instead of wind.

-OOOOOOONG!

The creature that was hit by it was thrown far back with a hole in its body… a hole that healed in an instant.

[{( "At last…" )}]

A creepy smile appeared under the hood of the blue being, its eyes shining in a strange deep light that creeped even the headmaster.

-OOOOOOOONG!

The being in blue then summoned a lance that seemed to be made of the same material as its body, something one could only understand as an extension of its being.

The weapon, shining with a unique light that resembled Aura, oozed a unique kind of pressure that almost made the rest of them skip a few heartbeats.

[{( "COME!" )}]

With an excited shout, the being in blue invited the headmaster with enthusiasm, its voice echoing all throughout the island and beyond.

-Ooooooooong…!

The headmaster knew he had to take it down as quickly as possible.

The darkness that was present under them, at the centre of their site, was an authority that undoubtedly specialised in interference with the consciousness.

It was something that no mortal should be able to contend against. Even if it was Eon that they were talking about, the person with the strongest mental defenses, he knew all of it would mean nothing in the face of divine power.

[{ "You three!" }]

The headmaster transferred his thoughts to the three that were on the ground and were watching everything going on around them.

[{ "Do not do anything! Stay put and DO NOT MOVE!" }]

The situation right now was not good.

The opponent that he was facing right now, different from the one in red, was a careful one.

Even though the headmaster was stronger, he knew against a careful opponent, even he would need a few moments.

Rein knew the situation right now had become worse. Even though she had somehow saved Cradle, and even though it seemed like the one in red was gone now, she could tell the one in blue and the black darkness in front of her were still present.

If the one in blue was fighting the headmaster, then the darkness must be from the third puppet that had appeared with them.

"But Eon…!"

She knew if the rest of them were here, then Eon must be within that darkness.

And, since she could feel the strange, sinister, chilly feeling from that darkness in front of her, Eon who was inside that darkness must also be suffering from something far worse. Discover hidden content at NovelBin.Côm

"Elle… calm down…"

Even though Del was in no condition to be talking right now, with all the pain pulsing throughout her body, she grabbed Rein’s hand and asked her to calm down.

She knew Rein would run into that dark fog to help Eon now that the boundaries were lifted, but as the headmaster suggested, doing something reckless was not the answer.

What they were dealing with was not something the three of them could even fathom. Perhaps Rein could fight against them if she had any of her power left, but after helping Del fight against that seed of darkness, she was in no state to even move.

Eon was in trouble, but since the headmaster was going as far as using that strange power of his, then he must have something in mind as well.

"Calm down… and wait f… for a minute." some black blood so dark it could not even be called blood came out of Del’s mouth and she coughed it.

The coughed darkness moved, like some kind of parasite, but then as if having been burnt alive, the ’thing’ ultimately evaporated out of existence.

"Haaa…" Del felt a little better after that, but she was still as weak as Rein, so even though she could see the state Zodiac was in, she could not even move her toes, much less her feet.

-OOOOOOOOOONG!

The headmaster had dealt with one of them, and from how there were around thirty magic circles of various colors possessing the same intensity as the first spell, they knew this little fight between him and the one in blue would be over soon.

This was simply a matter of time, however, they did not have that time at this moment…

’Eon…’

Rein’s heart was almost throbbing out of her chest.

She could feel it deep within her… he was in pain right now.

He was in a kind of pain that could not even be compared to her own.

He was lonely, he was in a bad state, and just from looking at that darkness which sent chills throughout her soul, she knew this feeling that she had was not a good thing either.

Something was happening in there…

Something was happening with him.

"Something…"

-BOOOOOOM!

A moment passed as Rein’s eyes stayed locked on the darkness.

-OOOOONG…!

The headmaster fired off his spells, and even called forth his crystal wand, the [{(Soul Armament)}] and charged off at the one in blue.

"Is happening… in there."

{ "Go and tell them…!" }

The headmaster screamed at the opponent, but Rein’s eyes were unblinking as they watched as something strange started unfolding in the dark fog.

{ "They can try as much as they want!" }

The headmaster swung his crystal wand as a slash that contained all the colors in the world was released at his opponent.

[{( "Ha… hahahaha!" )}]

The attack seemed so slow that even a one legged being could dodge it, however, in the eyes of the puppet, in the divine eyes of the true master of the puppet, this attack was the pinnacle of perfection, the truest absolute peak that any being could ever achieve.

-BOOOOOOOOOOM…!

Being hit by it and losing a fraction of their power was an honor, so, it accepted his fate and stayed there, waiting for the slash to reach him and destroy this fragmented existence.

However…

-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG…!

While that was happening…

"Eon!"

While the one in blue was just about to fade out of existence and just as the headmaster was about to dive down into the darkness to save Eon… a pillar of white light exploded from within the darkness.

-ZAAAAAAAAA…!

The black fog faded, and from beyond the darkness emerged two beings.

[{( "Oh… oh heavens…" )}]

The one in blue gasped in utter shock right when the attack met its body: what he had just seen, the scene before him, as THEY knew, was not going to be a pleasant story to many that awaited the results of their reconnaissance.

-OOOOOOONG!

The one in black that owned the darkness which previously covered the area before them… now burned with a familiar, pure white flame that the one in blue, one of the few older gods of the world, could never forget even if THEY wanted to.

{ "Eon…?" }

The white flames possessed divinity, though, this divinity was different from the divine power that these puppets or the headmaster himself possessed.

-Zaaaaaaa…

On the ground, as he watched the divine puppet in black burn down without any pain, with utter confusion and awe present on its face, there was a strange expression of disappointment on his face.

"..."

A Stigma resembling a feather burned on his arm in many colors, resembling the burning feathers of the one that gave him this power.

His eyes, his crimson eyes shone in a deeper red, his entire body covered in pure white flames that Eon recognised very well.

[{ *Master…* }]

His golden hair looked brighter under the white flames, the powers that he now had access to giving him an innate feeling which made him look down on these mere puppets that he had just struggled against.

’Lucy…’

His Origin powers, the Mana that he had, the Aura that he possessed, his Solnova that fueled these white flames, and, the unique power of wills that now fragmently stay dormant within him, all seemed completely different now that he was using this new, strange, and yet familiar power.

[{ *We did it, master.* }]

’Yeah… finally…’

He was happy, but at the same time, he was disappointed that he could not punish this heinous dark being which had dared to do all those… all those, unspeakable things to all those people.

It was merely a puppet, one that could not even endure the white flames that passively protected him in this form. But, even though what he had seen in that space were mere illusions, he knew one thing…

’We finally…’

He would not forgive the one behind this puppet.

’We did… it.’

The white flames burnt down the black puppet, the headmaster’s attack destroyed the one in blue, and as the two completely vanished, Eon fell to the ground, his eyes and hair now returned to normal, though… the stigma that he had awakened now stayed permanent on his arm.

"Eon…!"

Rein rushed to him right when she saw him falling to the ground, and at the same time, even the headmaster who had been mesmerised by the white flames returned to his senses, and flew down to the ground.

"Rein…"

Eon was still conscious when they reached him, however, he did not have any energy left in him anymore.

He had awakened the Legacy that he could not in the snake dungeon, but, it also meant that he had awakened the divinity that was granted to him, along with the authorities of his master that she left to him.

These new powers…

"Thank goodness!"

He knew he could not use most of them yet, but at the same time, he also instinctively knew what kind of powers that he had obtained.

"Eon… those flames…"

And, he now also knew a lot of things that he was previously not aware of.

Things like the facts about his master…

"You…"

His master that, even after spending so many years with, he knew little about.
