Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[OP: ]

As she said last time, the spectators were genuinely crying tears of blood. In a metaphorical way of course. Actual blood wasn't coming out of their eyes like it happens most of the time with Eon.

They were just too surprised. This island part was a new thing for them after all.

They knew almost everything about the sky island but aside from the fact that the core of the whole magical illusion was somewhere in this dungeon was the only information they had on this place.

They didn't know anything about what was inside this dungeon at all.

They were excited to see the inside more than anything when the two of them reached the place and went inside, but what happened after just a few moments when they entered the strange place was the most unexpected for them.

For the first time, they saw him using his weapon. And for the first time, they saw her in actual action, reminding them of the headmaster's words.

They were flabbergasted to see her move through the hundreds of strong creatures and just slice them in different ways with her strangely strong formless weapon.

It was an amazing artifact and they knew that much but aside from the cool blue weapon of water, they were more attracted to her impeccable movements.

They didn't see her move like that in the island forest even when she killed the 'strong' monsters there.

They saw it for the first time and all weapon wielders of the dark room observing the student council members, including the cheerful boy and woman with the authoritative voice, were mesmerized by her movements and way of killing.

They just stared at her with unblinking eyes… and the same was true for all kinds of magic users in the room who couldn't help but blankly look at the boy who though was using a bow, used arrows of magic so sophisticated and so intricately woven into an impeccable form that it was enough to stall the hearts of even the girl in the darkroom and the man with a deep voice.

They all were stunned and just blankly stared at the one new screen that showed the two of them in the dungeon.

They couldn't control this screen as it was in the hands of the headmaster but just the privilege of seeing their thoughtless massacre on those green, devastated grasslands was enough entertainment.

They all were blankly staring at the screen but they all definitely were having fun as they watched her kill the creatures, slice them into pieces, disregard everything and just lose herself in the pleasure of killing; and see his gorgeous, inexplicably beautiful spells that, too, indiscriminately destroyed everything they touched.

It was fun and they were bleeding tears of excitement. Their eyes were fixed on the screen but there were heated discussions going on among them over the techniques, skills, and magic the two of them were using.

It was a noisy room now. And there were smiles.

Every moment of their activity was fun for them and when they stopped because they had nothing to kill anymore… there was even a sad moment of silence.

They wanted to see more and in those childish thoughts, even as some of the greatest experts, they forgot the dungeon wasn't cleared yet.

The sun that wasn't visible in this place was now gone and the sky above them was a deep shade of red, casting an eerie glow on the scene below.

The clouds were still white, probably even whiter than before, and the green grass was now turning into a gloomy shade of blue.

The creatures of the dungeon, probably every single one of them, were now gone, and as Eon and Rein stood in the middle of these vast plains, unknown to the spectators, there were some weird things happening around them that only they knew.

The ground was subtly trembling, the air was getting denser with tension, and a distinct sound of breathing was coming from a distance away.

Both Rein and Eon had excellent senses so both of them knew something big, something stronger and more dangerous than anything they had faced until now was coming towards them.

The night was red, the ground was blue, the two of them stood there, the tension further grew.

The spectators watched, creepy winds of the night blew.

The blue blades of grass danced, the breathing of the two unchanged, their eyes locked in distance, their hearts pulsed the same.

A moment passed like that, and then…

The trembling of the ground escalated, the small rocks in the distance reverberated.

The serene eyes flickered suddenly, the grip of their held hands tightened suddenly.

Confused, she looked at him. And in confusion his eyes blinked.

He wasn't sure for a moment, she grasped that much. She didn't understand for the moment, he grasped that much.

Then a smile spread out on his face, a tiny light sparked on his hand. Her eyes also blinked in that moment, and she also smiled in that moment.

In the distance was their last enemy of the day, in the distance was a monster. In the distance was a mountain, in the distance was that creature.

Still, the ground near them roared of its presence, blew the horns of its arrival, informed the spectators of its grandeur, spoke the might of its mere steps.

Still, he wasn't visible to others. Others but the two of course.

For the two had long perceived its existence. For they had seen its extravagance. For they still watched the creature. And for the thick smiles on their faces screamed of their emotions.

They were excited, they were overjoyed. They looked ahead, and there he was… their nemesis and nightmare, their challenge and trial, their fun and excitement, their key to rewards.

It was a monster, a creature standing under the tranquil red of the sky, a breathing mountain of furry skin and herculean muscles, a giant with features of a bull and human, a catastrophe holding a giant axe.

The breaths that came from its snout created a momentary haze, the steps that touched the ground destroyed the eternally beautiful grasslands. The old rags around its body waved quietly, the colossal axe it held with one hand shone bloody brightly.

The shadow from its ginormous being cast a dark curtain over the endless fields, and as it closed in, its shadow touched the two, their smiles stayed the same, hearts beat with excitement, eyes fixated on the creature, they called forth their weapons.

The creature looked at them with eyes filled with anger and rage so great it would destroy the mortal with its presence alone… nevertheless, they stood tall, fearless, and brightly smiling, challenging the creature to come at them with utter confidence.

Spectators of the dark now watched, the great creature and their two ineffable council members, unknown to what reaction they should show, unknown to what feeling they should have.

It was a minotaur.

It was… a minotaur?

It was a… minotaur!

A… minotaur?!

F*cking hell a bull…

They wanted to express, at least think, of some kind of emotions like them but they just stared at the mighty creature, and blinked at their 'excited' reactions.

They were standing before a creature of legends, a being of epics, an inevitable obstacle in the chronicles of renowned, and an inseparable part of myths.

Some of the rare few among them grew and joined the ranks of the strongest of nature, but even in their natural forms, they were a calamity, a prominent (Purple) ranked creature only a few in the world could ever go against.

A minotaur… one armed with a weapon that could endure the grand innate power of the creature no less…

It wasn't something two young people giving their academy entrance exam could ever defeat, not even if they were one of the student council members.

It was surely an illusion, everything there was an illusion. Everyone in the darkroom and the two of them standing before the creature knew that. But they also knew the power of the creatures in this dungeon was the same as the actual beings.

This wasn't something even an experienced high-level adventurer 'guild' could defeat even after amassing all their resources and manpower.

Yet, for some unknown strange reason, all the smart, logical, different, and unique people in the darkroom had a peculiar feeling that those two smiling bastards could, in some strange and attractive manner, defeat this creature before them.

It was an absurd feeling and their mind conflicted with those feelings but still, the feeling stayed the same.

They have had innumerable surprises in these past two hours and they were almost mentally drained at this point too.

They had finished their basic grading and there were only bonus calculations and extra credits left.

They could relax at this point and they wanted to relax while watching their battle with some good food and refreshments.

Their minds denied it but their hearts that throbbed in genuine anticipation were looking forward to their battle.

They all were excited, so…

With thick smiles on their faces, their hearts beating as one, their eyes fixated on the enemy, and their weapons aimed at the opponent, they released their powers, and started their shocking plus exciting plus THRILLING armed conflict!
