Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer-Chapter 398 Pushing Back!

Three eyes... just like their name, they were three.

The basic and passive red eyes allowed him to see things far away from him, and his blue eyes allowed him to apprise things even if they were far away. He could use his third eye, the special mind's eye, when using these blue eyes. And his third silver eyes, the most powerful, and something that his master warned him to not use against any other weaker human.

But the undead army before them was a different thing altogether.

He activated his eye's third special power and his eyes, along with the white part of his eyes, glowed with a silver color, and his hair also started glowing with a glimmer of gold.

He looked like a different being altogether with those two special features, but as soon as his eyes turned to this strange silver, the pressure of the whole place inside this room's space became unbearable...

-Oooooooooooooong!

The pressure he emitted was great and the immediate sense of fear that not only skeletons before him but also the evil spirit felt was too great!

The evil spirit's entire soul body was shaken to the core as he looked at him and especially into the eyes that attracted the attention of all the creatures that he looked toward.

Everything Eon saw felt fear, and this fear was so great that most of them were either frozen in their places or were already kneeling on the ground.

It was amazing... the sight of hundreds of thousands of undead kneeling, laying, or frozen before a single person.

And two of the three people behind him were so surprised by the current situation, they couldn't help their open mouths.

They could feel the strange pressure that didn't seem that much to them, but they couldn't understand just what he did for the undead to react with such a great reaction.

The lizardman was surprised that his master had a power that he hadn't used in the fight the two of them had some time ago. The lich was surprised just how a human and a child at that could be allowed to hold this much power. And Rein... well, she had finished her witchcraft in the time the two of them were wondering how this was possible.

She had already seen him use this ability during the spars he had with her. And even her dear old crow acknowledged this skill as some of the most serious things he had seen.

The ability was powerful. So powerful that she would almost pass out within three to six seconds of facing those silver eyes.

'They are something that intensifies the inner fear of one to the extreme without them noticing. It's an exceptional skill as long as the master of this skill, he himself, isn't an enemy.

For the enemies facing this skill... well, it's some of the worse experiences one could have.'

He made her endure this skill during their training. Saying something like it would help her improve her mental body, mental stamina, and mental endurance and resistance.

She definitely thought she was improving slowly, so she didn't mind, but it was still too bad an experience that she wished even her enemies wouldn't have to endure.

Anyway... the enemies right now were dangerous and something they had no time to deal with. So finishing them was the best.

She used her witchcraft with another normal (level-6) artifact, a similar purple light as before covered the scythe, she swung it at that very moment, and some black chains were manifested above every single skeleton present in the room, and her slash, her one slash manifested as the [[( Severing the life )]], cut off all the thousands of chains at once...!

-SHAKKK!!!

It was a sharp sound. A metallic noise resonated throughout the humongous room. And just after this noise...

-Dakdakdakdakdak...

-Clankclankclank...

-Thut. Thut. Thut. Thut. Thut. Thut.

The bond that bound with the evil spirit was the only thing making these specific undead 'alive'.

Its domination was the main thing that kept them standing and if this practically intangible bond was cut off, what would happen to them?

-Ktktktktktktktkt.

They were just skeletons who the evil spirit summoned at the end, right? If there was nothing to hold them together, they couldn't stand or function like they had been doing.

It was natural that they would fall, and they did fall... and their bones, armor, and weapons also just fell and scattered on the ground just like the falling of a group of dominoes set in a large vertical as well as a horizontal frame. Or a huge castle of cards falling after just a small touch, wind, or mistake.

It was a mysterious and amazing scene for the two people standing at the back, as well as the two young-looking people who had caused this issue.

'Well, it would naturally look amazing if hundreds of strongly standing creatures just withered away like a fragile sandcastle.

Thankfully, it couldn't create something like them in a short time.' he thought as he turned off the silver eyes and returned to his normal-looking gorgeous self.

She had called out Clover while the Evil spirit was on guard and was shocked by how his army that it thought would deal a significant blow to the enemy fell like dead leaves of an autumn tree.

He was standing before her with Tae in his hands, ready to take out whatever arrow was required for the next move of the evil spirit.

But... surprisingly, the evil spirit just stayed silent in the air like that for a while.

Its toys were destroyed, but the evil spirit had no immediate reaction. It was strange, but she got a good time to recover and send the lizardman and lich away from this place.

He also called Make out and sent her with the two of them and though it was sudden and surprising, she was at least relieved that Eon was alright.

The last time she saw him was in the lizardman's cave and now she was here, in this good-looking place, where the evil resided.

She could see the evil spirit was just floating on the ground while looking down and the countless bones, weapons, and armor of the skeleton army scattered on the vast plain room.

She was with the lizardman from the last time and a weird-looking skeleton lich who strangely seemed like a good being to her.

He was actually a good person who followed his friend Eon's partner. But she only figured that out after a while.

Anyway, the three of them were now just watching the whole scene from one corner of the room with complicated feelings in their heart.

The evil spirit didn't move this whole time, but he didn't leave his guard down this whole time. She also was ready after she recovered with the help of his potion and Clover.

The spirit bastard was either too shocked, which had low probability, or it was thinking about the thing he had just witnessed and reevaluating the two of his opponents.

They were young looking fucking bastards, but they were definitely strong. Far more than the spirit had previously thought through all its calculations. So now it was making all the calculations again and thinking about what it could do.

Maybe they were right as... when the evil spirit finally looked up and into the now normal eyes of the boy and the strangely young-looking bitch, the first thing it did...

[< Khahahahahaha! >] It started laughing maniacally.

[< KHAHAHAHA! >] And this laugh suddenly became so loud that it almost shook the whole place...!?

[< What was I even expecting from those useless bunch of bones~?! Of course, they would be defeated in mere seconds by these amazing creatures!!

I see now! You two are also irregular beings in this nature~!! We are the same! But still...! You will die, you fucking witch! You fucking underling of filthy god! >]

And after saying that, the evil spirit looked straight into the two's eyes with an angry, disgusted, and hateful expression.

Its purple eyes of light were strange and as they looked into them, they felt as if someone was directly glancing into the depths of their soul.

"Rein! Snap out!" he shouted as he took out an arrow from his quiver and aimed at the evil spirit.

The evil was using its [Soul sight] skill to assess the nature of her soul and he knew from the dark red light swirling around his hands that he will use [Soul drain] after reappearing around her.

-Swiiiiish!

"I know bastard!" she replied and took out her purple-pink scythe and used her quick reflexes to avoid the strange black throne that suddenly rose from the ground!

His strong mind just negated the use of any mental skill, but still, the skills that this evil spirit bastard possessed were strong. It could affect her, but her recovery speed was far greater than any normal high mage.

She recovered and dodged the black throne made of strange black liquid.

Their eyes told them this was a condensed dark essence of undead covered with the curse of stiffness. Something made from fusing two different skills!

"It knows skill fusion! Shit! Switch to raid strategy 1 gamma!" he shouted again and covered his body with a blue shield.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

And as soon as he did that, three bone arrows made of bones on the ground and covered by thick dark energy collided with his skill!

-Boooooooom!

But remarkably, the shield blocked the curse-covered bone arrows, and he returned beside her.

[[ *You gave it an endless supply of ammo...* ]] Lucy said in a worried voice, but he shook his head.

'Even if there are countless bones, the energy that evil spirit bastard has is limited. It can't use a large number of bones and curses, and still maintain that barrier around the coffins. He's protecting that coffin as his life. And we will use that.'

[[ *...good luck* ]] it was a sad voice that must have wanted to say that it was evil, but there was nothing wrong when it was about their own survival.

…

"Eon! Just defending won't work! Start the offensive!"

The two of them dodged many arrows, spears, and swords made of bones, different curses that would affect someone's physical body if only even a cut was made.

But they avoided the unexpected, surprise attacks that came from places that they couldn't even think of!

The evil spirit was still floating in the air.

[< Khahahahaha! >]

It was laughing, but its eyes were sharply observing every move, every movement, and every magic they used to defend against its attacks.

-Swash! Swash! Swash!

And the offensive just continued.

-Clank.

-Swiiiiiish. Swiiiiiish. Swiiiiiish!

Eon continued using light attribute arrows as he, too, observed the curses and the weapons that the evil spirit was using with its necro skills.

It had a strange domination over its weapons made of these bones, just like its control over its undead.

The weapons moved in a strange orbit and kept changing from one to another.

So now, before them, were bone weapons consistently shooting toward them out of nowhere, and some of their weapons would practically engage them in a small battle.

-Clank! Clank! Clank!

It was difficult, but they still masterfully dodged all the projectiles and defended against the controlled weapons, and thanks to the light enchantments and his arrows, the weapons were destroyed without much difficulty.

But they were still in a stalemate!

Neither the spirit was doing any damage to them, nor they had done any damage to the spirit.

Just like she said, being on the defensive was only disadvantageous for them. The evil spirit had higher stats than them and it wasn't using any physical movements like them, so their stamina also could not keep up if things went like that.

Eon also knew that, and he had now finished the initial evaluation of the spirit's attack methods.

He knew how he could overturn this utter stalemate and go on the offensive and push the evil spirit into the defensive…

[[ "Rein. Prepare to defend from left." ]] f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

[[ "W-what?! What do you-" ]]

But before she could finish, he moved to the very right using his [Quick steps] and caught the spear of bones that came flying from that direction with his bare hands covered with a strange pure white energy.

-Swiiiiiiiiiish! free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

But at the same time, from the far left, another spear came flying toward the girl and because her bastard darling had disappeared from his position, there was a gap in that specific area of defense.

It would have been difficult if he hadn't told her about this beforehand. She could have very well gotten wounded by the spear covered with a red curse of bleeding, but he told her beforehand...

-Clank! Swishck...!

She was ready and with her quick reflexes; she spun in a full circle with her heavy scythe in her one hand, caught the spear with the curved tip of her blade, and redirected it toward the front where another similar spear was coming from.

-Swiiiiiiiiish- boooooooom!

The two spears collided, and this sudden variable surprised the stoic evil spirit!

An attack that they would have easily defended against if they maintained their position was left to pass. And not only that, but they also predicted the path of the next attacks and actually defended against something that was impossible until you can see the future!

But...

[< Bastard!!! @##$#@#$! >] It cursed loudly and moved from its place for the first time since they entered this room.

And the reason for that was naturally...

-Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiish!

-Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiish!

-Swiiiiiish!

Six wooden arrows covered with a strange light enchantment came flying toward him from different directions just when he took his attention off that boy for a moment.

And they were no normal arrows that would just pass through his spirit body... he knew he would have to suffer like that ghost if he was stuck by them.

So it moved from its place, and that marked the breaking point of the stalemate that was just going on for a while.

-Swiiiiiish!

And also the point when the majestic evil spirit that ruled this whole place and once terrorized this whole island... was pushed back on the defensive.
