Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[OP: ]

The fight that Eon had with the vice headmaster was almost crazy.

Both of them displayed a kind of combat that was far beyond what the teachers as well as the students had seen until now.

Both of them were a menace as they attacked the other party with mere arrows, however, both the arrows were a different thing even though their base was Aura.

-Swiiiiiiiiish!

-Baam!

Eon’s arrows were a product of spells, an elaborate spell that was made to destroy and kill rather than simply counter against the opponent.

He wasn’t holding back at all. Even though he was showing spells of lower tier, the way these spells meticulously aimed at the vice headmaster shocked the students that were fighting around them.

In fact, the teachers and students in all the other arenas stopped their matches and simply stared at the two of them for a while.

The fact that they had stopped should be a big deal in itself, however the start of the spell’s barrage was simply the beginning of their battle.

-Oooooooooooong!

On one side were spells made with magic, while on the other side, there were arrows made with condensed Aura shot from the unique EFMW of the vice headmaster.

If one said the nature of the arrows that Eon used was unique and magical as they moved in ways that did not make any sense, then the arrows that were shot from the vice headmaster’s bows did not even follow the laws of nature.

The way those arrows of condensed energy moved shocked everyone present— these arrows changed size, they contained power to move in any direction as if they were a living entity.

Unlike the magical arrows that had a set path to them that Eon had coded into the spells beforehand, the arrows that the vice headmaster used seemed to have a will of their own.

And, if that wasn’t enough, when two or more of these special energy arrows merged with each other, they produced beasts– actual beasts made of her Aura– that ate away at all the spells that were precisely aimed at each and every one of her movements.

-BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Eon was not controlling the spells themselves. While the spells were complex, they weren’t at the level where they could have a will of their own.

This was a much simpler magic, something that he had made into a far deadlier thing than its raw form by analyzing and foreseeing the movements of his opponent– something not even some of her students who now hold the master and grandmaster titles had been able to do at such a young age.

The mere fact that she was using her partner’s weapon for this, the weapon that was mentioned in historical records, the grand artifact of the generation of the war, made this battle a grand theatrical performance.

Still…

The opponent was a being that had far transcended the realm of mortals, mastering all weapons that existed, someone who now possessed the power to wield anything that could be termed a ‘weapon’ even in an abstract manner, someone who the world looked up to.

The fact that he was able to survive against her for more than a few minutes, the fact that he only got a few minor cuts while avoiding her deadly arrows, the fact that he was able to exhaust himself completely before he fell to her… was not enough to earn him an actual victory.

-Zaaaaaaaaaa!

“Haaa! Haaa!”

He fell. And he lost.

He had made all the spells he currently could. He had no Aura left in himself. He had even substituted some of his Solnova in the process.

Had someone not controlled his Mana in the process, they would have fallen into an energy conflict because of their energy imbalance, but his special physique made it possible for him to maintain the different energies within him unlike anyone else.

He survived thanks to that, and ultimately, he was able to earn the respect of the teachers, the students, as well as his great vice headmaster.

“She’s supposed to be a mage, isn’t she?”

“It’s so… beautiful.”

“And dangerous.”

While Eon might have failed to defeat the vice headmaster, he was given the points as well as the extra points that she promised him.

It wasn’t really in her hands, but no one was going to complain to her about this— not after witnessing something like that.

She was the vice headmaster, and he was the president of the student council that had done something foolish as well as unbelievable.

That was simply what he deserved— but to make things unbiased, she did not give the same conditions to Rein when she walked up to the stage.

“She started using scythe when she joined the academy, and you’re telling me she’s already this good?”

“She’s a magic scythe user now!”

Rein walked to the stage and without much talk, the two of them engaged in a battle.

When they started, Rein was using a special scythe shaped magic staff.

It seemed to be a specially made staff, just like what Eon was using.

The craftsmanship and construction wasn’t all that unique, but it was a powerful artifact made with the help of the manufacturing artifacts of their tower.

They had tens of these— unbelievable, but it was a fact.

She had many of these staffs, so just like Eon, she did not care much about pushing the weapon to its absolute limits.

“He destroyed his weapon… seems like she’s going to do the same.”

Eon’s magic bow was destroyed in the process of creating all those spells. It was a powerful artifact, yet the fact that he ended up destroying it after creating spells for only a few minutes spoke for the power of these spells.

He did well as well. And right after him, when Rein started her battle, she also pushed the vice headmaster back with the help of her consecutive scythe attacks.

“I seem to have underestimated you, student Uriel. Or have you simply become much stronger since the last time I saw you?”

Rein started the battle with a powerful looking scythe-staff.

Her condition to the vice headmaster was simply teaching her more about death in the best way she could.

-Swiiiiiiiiiiish!

The vice headmaster, as unusual as her nature is, reciprocated her wishes by turning her weapon into a scythe twice as large as her own.

She did not stop there either. She created three more scythes around her body with her condensed Aura and suspended them around her body without using any skills.

As a Grandmaster with complete control over the weapons, she could control most of the weapons at will.

There were few weapons that would not bend to her will. If she wanted, she could even order the inanimate weapons to kill their wielder and the weapons would actually do it.

That was the kind of power their vice headmaster possessed. That was the kind of authority that was given to her by this world and mother nature.

“First his magic and now…”

“She’s no beginner in any manner. She is close to mastering the art.” Br%ou%g*ht to you by MV-6.LEMP^Y6&R.

“Also, she seems to have developed a partial Aspect as well.”

Rein started using her Death scythe dance whose main purposse was to inflict death upon the opponenet.

It was a technique meant to kill, it was a techniuqe that aimed to help one reach salvation, it was the guiding light for the lost souls, and this power was nothing less than a lethal poision to one using it as well.

The mere fact that Rein did not die performing these techniques with the kind of energy that was being used, with the kind of power it contained all connected to her immense authority for Darkness.

She wasn’t just throwing the punches right now. Each time she moved, each time she performed a technique, each time she swung her large scythe at her… there was a certain spark.

-Booooooooom!

Sadly though, this spark was not metal clashing. It was the clash of energies, it was the clash of her Mana and the vice headmaster’s energy scythes that were protecting her right now.

“Ugh! Ugh!” After taking tens and tens of these deadly impacts, Rein was ultimately thrown away to the other side of the Arena.

She used magic of the Darkness attribute for the first time, revealing her other attribute that sparked a controversy among the students.

The teachers, however, were stunned to see this. There was darkness and yet, Rein did not show any signs of possessing this attribute.

She used the magic of the attribute, her dark Mana was the main source for her techniques.

In the eyes of the weapon expert teachers as well as those who understood combat, what Rein was using right now was a very sophisticated, very refined weapon technique.

Her Theme of the technique, death, was also something pretty complex.

It wasn’t about an element or a phenomenon. Death, as most might fail to understand, was a Truth. It was a primordial concept that one cannot compare with just anything.

Understanding it was not easy, and to teach someone who already knew a great lot about it was no easy task.

“I will accept my loss this time.”

She used up everything she had when she swung her scythe. She squeezed in every bit of her Mana for each of the attacks she made in the last moments.

Even though it was against protocol, she used Clover secretly to recover herself, and still… there was no way to get to the vice headmaster.

The three energy scythes were simply unbeatable, and still she had broken all three of them before she forced the vice headmaster into using her special weapon.

“Haaa… dumb girl.”

But when the vice headmaster did use the scythe, she ended up throwing Rein to the other side of the arena, hurting her more than she intended, losing the right to stay in the arena any longer.
