Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Outside of this magnificent tower.

The grass-filled field, the tower behind me that looked to reach the sky, the fresh smell of nature, and the cool breeze of night.

Yes, it was already night.

The bright blue moon was shining as always, but now it was smiling down at us.

As if it was happy to see something interesting after a long while, it smiled down at us.

The starry sky was glittering with the moon, complimenting the view from this place.

We were standing just outside of the tower and I could see the giant magic circle that seemed different from the others.

She created this one with different materials and was more detailed than any others I had seen.

Maybe it was something that let others in and out?

Well, I didn’t know, and it wasn’t important right now.

Looking at her back and eyes that reflected stars, I listened to her unbelievable words.

“So, Eon. In normal terms, I’m what you can call a [Sage]. But, don’t think too much about it.

Magic using Solnova requires different magic circles that suit the energy’s wavelength.

I don’t think you know this but, you can produce any kind of results with a certain type of energy if you have enough knowledge and understanding.

Meaning an elementalist can use normal spells or a high dark magician or even higher-level demons can produce holy magic if mastered and understood.

But it’s only possible at prime strength that no normal being can have.

The magic, this term,/ is indeed creating things that seem magical.” She said and then snapped her fingers.

Her words were unbelievable from start to finish and I couldn’t help but marvel at the fact that I was standing with someone at the level of a [Sage].

This was more than what I can think of and, this meant that she was almost a celestial being.

Which only left one scenario in my mind.

She can only be one being that matched all the things I had seen until now and it was the most unbelievable thing.

Though I was thankful to her, I had no words to explain my emotions.

But, well, she said not to worry, so I should try to at least not worry… not that I could help but worry. .

“A spell like [Fire], can be turned into, [Dark fire] with enough knowledge or even [Holy flames], that carry divinity,” she said while demonstrating it.

This was what I called pinnacle.

The strength that no one could have or fathom.

First, a normal, orange-red fire burned before her hand, and then it spun purple-black that seemed dark.

It was a dark feeling, not like the negative ones I felt with demonic or corrupted beings but, pure dark.

Then, it suddenly turned into yellow flames that radiated purity.

I could feel the higher realm of the light attribute from it and this whole demonstration… was fascinating.

Watching the flames turn into something else in this moonlit land… I still thought this was some kind of dream.

But it was reality, and she was the one creating such phantasm.

“You can also mimic other attributes if you understand them enough, like creating water from fire, or wind from the fire would be possible even if you just have an affinity of fire attribute.

Like me, who only has an immense affinity of fire, can ‘control’ other elements as I wish.” she smiled at me and one by one, different attributed spells popped up before us.

Fire, water, earth, wind, light, and darkness were the primary elements of this nature.

Then, ice, thunder, a shockwave-like sound sphere, and a ball of higher gravity. They were the main secondary elements.

Then there was also mist, spells of a natural attribute that grew plants, shadows for darkness attribute, and a ball of light that seemed holy.

And they weren’t the only ones.

“There are countless attributes in this nature and everything has a wavelength.

You can produce any of them if you find the suitable one for the type of energy you want to use.

And… if we apply this to knights who use Aura, they could also use suitable spells.

Though, as the basic destructive power of Aura goes, it wouldn’t support many spells of this nature.

But… doing such things would require tremendous mental fortitude and passion.

You will have to train your mind to Eon.

Though you’re a reincarnation and someone with the greatest mind to learn this, you will still need more.

Well, we can do that easily with enough time so don’t worry about that.” she reassured while patting my head.

I felt like a baby in front of her and I precisely was.

I had no knowledge, no wisdom, no powers, even close to her pinky finger.

But, I could gain it.

I was confident I could learn at least a fraction of the vast knowledge she had and that was enough to calm my hungry heart.

Now, I had to start from zero.

Learn spells to use with this new energy that suited me the most. But, I also wanted to use Mana.

Well, it wasn’t like I would only have to use one type of energy.

That aside, what type of training will we even do?

I had no idea how to use this Solnova, much less utilize them in a spell.

I was about to ask her the question, but then I was struck by a creepy smile from this gorgeous lady, sending shivers down my spine.

“The training method for this is ve~ry simple. It will hurt a little bit, but you will be able to use it after you experience it once with your whole body.”

Her words were twisted, and the excitement in those words was making me nervous.

This little pain… how little are we talking about?

Just the pain of a limb being cut off that I had already experienced or… even more than that?

I gulped a mouthful of saliva after thinking for a moment and looked at her with doubtful eyes.

“How am I to experience this… thing?”

This strangely reminded me of the time dad and I did that.

Yes… the (tier-1) thing.

And I had a certain thought that this… was going to be something similar.

‘Gasp! Nature… protects your humble child.’

***

In the vast fields of the grass, a lone boy sat there with his eyes tightly closed and blood seeping out of his nose, eyes, and ears.

Covered by a bright orange light, and surrounded by three spheres of the same bright orange light, the boy screamed in agony as the pain increased with each passing second.

This was painful but tolerable.

Even though it seemed as if he was experiencing the sensation of being burned alive, there was a smile on his face.

This feeling… he liked it.

Not the pain or the loss of blood, but the changes happening to his body.

He could feel that this was something he longed for, but never precisely knew what he wanted.

As if a person lost in the endless ocean had finally found land, he had found something dear to him.

Some distance away, an alluring lady was standing with the same light coming out of her hand.

She was smiling bitterly at the smiling boy, who was enduring the sweet pain and the warmth of her touch.

This was his first time, and she understood just how he would be feeling.

Though painful, it was the sweet pain of happiness.

He would be feeling warm but, the energy surging through his body was no normal thing.

He was a mortal.

A normal human who was gifted some unique power and possessed a tough brain like no other.

This was also a tough thing though, as she knew just what sort of past hardships he had gone through to possess a unique brain like this.

But his smile was showing that he would be okay even after this burning pain.

The start is always painful but, as time passed and you get familiar with the movements, you would get better.

And he would learn faster than anyone. She did not doubt that.

He was talented, after all, and his mind was just perfect to be her successor.

And, it rewarded her hopes when the painful expression cleared up from the boy’s face after a long time and he started absorbing the flowing energy from the giant balls of light.

His start was painful and there will be more painful things, but she knew that this boy, her student, and her grandson, can overcome them.

She knew if there was someone that can grant her long-cherished wish, then it was him.
