Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

The carvings on these silver walls were done with gold. Pure liquid gold that was now cool and solid.

The language on those walls, as I had thought, was the ancient language of the eastern part\'s indigenous people.

All six sides were covered with these words and I wanted to read them, but... we had no time for that.

[< Welcome~! Welcome you fucking bastards~! You truly destroyed my hard-earned peace.

Not only did you disturb me, but you fucking little kids also destroyed my toys and stole my lizard and lich...

You are strong. I give you that much~. And from the looks of it... you bastard. Yes. You who possess not only all six attributes, that fucked up white Aura, and that filthy white energy... it was my mistake that I overlooked you but, not anymore!

I took too long to see those eyes of yours... that strangely powerful soul... and that powerful creature that looks like a butterfly, too. But thankfully... I noticed these before it was too late.

You are a strange boy.

I don\'t know if calling you human would be appropriate or not, but you sure definitely aren\'t just any strong human.

That young-looking witch is one thing, but a human having a mind like that? Either a reincarnation or a returnee from a hellish place, right? That\'s the only plausible answer I can think of...

Oh! You could also be one of those fucking bastards raised by gods, but that darkness inside you definitely wouldn\'t excite many gods.

You are strange and have eyes that have seen things that shouldn\'t be known by someone who\'s alive... so I know one thing for sure now.

You will die here today. I will kill you. I will definitely kill you! All of you!!!

KHAHAHAHAHAHA!

DIE! >]

Those were the words of the evil spirit, the ghost-like translucent purple figure which looked just like a human male.

Its body was surrounded by a strange purple energy and I could tell it was a mix of dense dead Mana, darkness attribute Mana, and a faint but noticeable evil energy that almost reminded me of the presence that the demon and the demonic slime possessed.

It was strange but also different from them.

This evil spirit definitely hadn\'t seen my screen, and it still concluded a lot of things about me. Which just increased the evaluation I gave to this evil spirit by a dangerous level.

The evil spirit was strong, the words it used were precisely aimed at me, and at the end of its talk, the way it madly gave the command to its hundreds of undead was also... cheating!

As soon as we entered this room, the big rock door had locked behind us and the place before us wasn\'t something one would call \'one room\'.

It was an enormous space, a six-sided room with silver walls, silver pillars, two golden coffins in the middle, and a ceiling covered with light stones which gave the feeling that there was no ceiling and light was coming from up, illuminating the whole place. There was also a giant crystal ball on one side of this place, but maybe it was something that the sprint used.

Aside from that and four of us, in this enormous place totally covered with hundreds if not thousands of white skeletons, parties made with tens of skeleton knights and mages, the boss, the evil spirit, was floating above all of them.

The evil smirk on its face was one thing, but after he finished speaking and shouted at his elite skeleton knights and mages, his evil laugh was echoing throughout the room.

-Khaaaaaaaaaa!

-Ktktktktktktktktktktkt!

-Clank! Clank! Clank!

-Clank!!

[< Master! Don\'t worry about these small fires! I will take care of them! >]

[ "Master... I don\'t know what you are doing by just standing still like that, but I believe you." ]

The two of them had moved before us. Both Rein and I were at the back, just at the place we were standing on, as we just blankly stared into the air with blank eyes and complicated emotions.

[[ "This is... difficult, right?" ]] She asked through Celes\'s connection and my answer was instantaneous.

[[ "Yup... it will be \'a bit\' more complicated and difficult than I thought. It\'s still possible if I used my eyes on the skeletons and we play our cards right, though.

I know that bastard knows a lot about us from all the fights it had seen or might have seen with that surveillance orb, so we have to consider the fact that he knows the moves that we have used until now.

Still... passable." ]]

[[ "Then I don\'t have to worry too much. Or... think that my fucking crazy darling only has a few screws loose and not all of his brain damaged." ]]

There was a twitching smile on her face as she stared into the air blankly. And I could definitely understand her feelings...

\'This is just that much unexpected.\'

[Authority holder]

[Anomaly!!]

---> M-master... this creature... isn\'t this a bit too much for an (Indigo) rank? It\'s definitely no normal creature in any meaning! You should take care while dealing with this one...

---> Not only its physical stats are abnormally high, but it also possesses far more skills than a normal (Indigo) rank creature! And its domination is too high for its magic power!

---> You know what it means when a creature has such high intelligence stat... please be worried about this being.

---> Its soul sight can read a being from their essence, something a bit like me and the beautiful truth-seeing eyes of your partner. While I use your knowledge and whole energy body as a base and her eyes see the actual truth of something, that evil spirit can see through the souls and guess one\'s strengths far better than any appraisal skills!

---> Its death sentence is a bad skill that could leave a mark of death so at least use your fucking good brain and do something about it!

---> Its elder wisdom skill can increase his analytical and technical skills during the needed time and help him despell even highly complicated spells.

---> The light resistance will make the low-level light attribute magic meaningless on this one and maybe even the high-level spell could be weakened. But it\'s half-true essence... it allows him to become one with nature, so it will be difficult to hit it with frontal attacks.

---> You are an idiot to call your situation cool and this creature easy...! Don\'t do more foolish things and be sure to safely defeat this one!

============

There was a reason my little skill was reacting so much to the information of this evil spirit... it was naturally fucked up.

Not only the number and quality of skills this one possessed more than my predictions, but this evil bastard also had high intelligence, wisdom to implement it, and the ability to use necromancy easier than usual.

So not only it had a high domination stat, which was even higher than the lich, the creature that could use necromancy the best, and my mom, this bastard also possessed skills that could make the use of light magic meaningless, but it also had a deep understanding of curses.

It could use curses freely and if my lizardman or her lich are caught up in some high-grade curse, it would be a loooooot more difficult for us.

I want my lizardman in perfect condition and alive and her lich was also the same. He was a very useful being. His reputation as well as his knowledge and powers.

He was important for my future home, so he must not die here.

I also had to take out Mave so that she can watch the definite fall of this bastard.

It was difficult, but I knew we could defeat this bastard... we had to defeat it no matter what.

\'It is an evil presence, truly evil. Even if it reached the limits of its growth as an Indigo-ranked creature, there are chances that it becomes so strong that it would be comparable to noble demons if not the Purple-ranked creatures.

It was good that I saw it when it has only this much power, but this one will continue to grow and the army it has right now... it would be nothing before its future army if left alone now.\'

It also had a tendency to repay the grudges, like us, and this evil spirit was previously a human, so it was natural that it knew a great lot about the world and the creatures within it.

It was no doubt an evil spirit now, but it definitely used to be a human. Then the human soul, which had unfulfilled strong desires, stayed in this world without crossing over to the world of the dead, gathered undead and evil energies, and became what it is right now.

It was a very rare phenomenon, but the powers it currently has are even more abnormal.

Its presence was a curse itself and if we left it right now, after doing so much bad to it, I had no doubt that it will come to our side, find us, and do many dangerous things.

So we had to defeat the evil spirit, its entire army, and be \'alright\' after that. The two of us at least had to be fine after this.

It was difficult, but there was one way... one way to deal with the evil spirit and one way to deal with the whole of its army.

The army was an easy opponent too, but the evil spirit was the most dangerous being she and I had faced. I would even put this one above the level of the demonic slime that I encountered in the past.

It was dangerous, but the most dangerous aspect of this evil spirit was something that my dear little eyes forgot to mention...

[[ *This one has the ability to learn new and diverse things. So, aside from its existing knowledge and skill powers, there is certainly a large possibility that it could learn during an ongoing battle.

That aside, the evil spirit knows a lot about the two of you already.

It must be an innate characteristic that it was so lazy that it underestimated you so much and just stayed in this place. But it definitely isn\'t an easy foe to underestimate.* ]]

\'Yup. My dear little eyes forgot to consider this fact. But it\'s amazing that Rein\'s eyes didn\'t.\'

We quickly shared the status windows that both our eyes showed through my sharing spell, so we both almost knew all the things that the other\'s eyes showed.

And unlike my eyes, which didn\'t consider the ability to learn during the fight, her eyes clearly told her that it would be dangerous because the spirit could actually learn new things quickly.

They were experienced, unlike mine, so it was understandable. Not that mine would fall behind with their tremendous learning ability.

Anyway... I knew what we had to do first.

[[ "Rein. I will use silver eyes, so be ready to use witchcraft. I will cover you for the time you recover, so try to finish their entire army. Order Morris to fall back first." ]]

[[ Yei~! Master\'s gorgeous silver eyes~! ]]

[[ "Will you even be alright after using it? I mean... don\'t they take a great toll on your mind and Solnova?" ]]

[[ "Nah. It will be alright. Don\'t worry. You will have to cut their connection with the evil spirit and they will be finished.

It will be difficult, so I\'m sorry and thanks...

Once they are finished, we can just go with the final raid strategy 3 alpha. Let\'s think about the things after that during the fight. Ah. Take this. It will nullify the physical and magical curses." ]] saying that much, I threw a small golden ring with six very small jewels embedded in it at her.

It was a special divine artifact that nullified the curses.

Yes, it was definitely something priceless, but I can resist the curses with my light elemental Mana and Solnova. She, on the other hand, had some chances of falling to some curses that affected her physically and magically.

She checked the ring\'s details and was surprised how I just threw such a priceless artifact at her and… as she thankfully caught it, there was anger in her eyes.

\'Bastard! At least show some care for these great artifacts!!\'

This wasn\'t the first time I just threw something so valuable at her. And she also knew that those things that one would worship or keep as their family heirloom didn\'t mean much to me.

And when it was something concerning her safety, I wouldn\'t even care if it was something even a god would covet.

\'And surprisingly, I do have some things that gods would fight to have. My own self comes first in it.\'

Anyway...

[< "Zuroro. Get behind me." >] I ordered with a strong voice and he threw back the skeleton knight that he was fighting as soon as he heard that voice.

"Khua?!" [< Master?! >]

[< "I won\'t repeat myself." >]

His voice when he called me out with surprise was filled with concerns. There was a sea of an enemy army before them and in a time like this, his master was asking him to get behind him?!

I knew a warrior like him wouldn\'t do such a thing easily, but it was a stern order from me, and he sensed the confidence in my voice, so he had faith.

He backed off and Rein\'s lich did something similar. He had seen her power and ability that could render the chains of reality he knew useless after all.

The two of them backed off now and only we were left facing the whole army of undead and the evil spirit still smirking at us as if we were fools that he will crush no matter what happens.

His arrogance was understandable from his own point of view. It heald strength, knowledge, wisdom as well as great domination over his subject skeletons after all.

It was pure domination that could make them do anything they wanted. Something few are gifted with in this whole nature.

The evil spirit defiantly had pride in its strength and great domination stat.

It also knew many things about us from the fights we had after entering this place. That surveillance crystal on the other side wasn\'t just for show after all.

Anyway... this evil spirit hadn\'t seen everything there was to us or understood the concept of everything we did. It naturally couldn\'t even think that Rein could use a powerful ability like her witchcraft more than once a day and what things it could actually \'cut\'.

And just like that...

"Three eyes!"

It hadn\'t even seen a fraction of what cool things I could do.
