Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer-Chapter 1128 The unique room of The Two
[Rein's POV: ]
I've seen weird things.
I have.
And believe me when I say there are weird things in this word that people cannot even make heads or tales of.
'After seeing the entire universe back then, I was also able to see the weird creatures that existed beyond the universe's boundaries.'
But this… this place was something else.
[{ Even I'm a little scared right now, master. }]
The being that was practically a fragment of darkness, the creature whose origin itself was darkness and the night, was saying that he was scared right now.
'What more do we need to showcase this absurdity.'
There were paintings on this floor, large paintings depicting scenes that were worse than the worst novel descriptions I have ever read. Each one of these paintings were also in their true form so they were the Truths that the artists who made them wanted to depict.
There were multiple pieces from different artists. There were all kinds of paintings as well… some were so beautiful that you would keep staring at it for hours, and some were so dark that you would not be able to pull your eyes away from it even if you wanted to.
'I don't want to describe them, I cannot do it even if I wanted to since it's not possible to put what I am seeing right now into words but, I would say I don't want anyone to see these things.'
Eon did not want me to be here. He did not show us this floor for our own good perhaps. Unlike many other floors in this tower, this was off limits not because there were important and precious things here, but because there were things here that one should not see.
These things were not dangerous, in fact, there was no creature here aside from the ones present in the moving paintings present around us.
Sure there were all kinds of things here, there were skull sculptures, there were things made from the heads of certain kinds of birds, there was a section full of jars that had eyelids of humans and other kinds of creatures.
"This is crazy…"
I mean, this tower is filled with crazy things, but until now, I've only seen the good crazy things. There were some cute creatures around her as well, but they were not as bad as the things present here.
The worst thing about them was not even how they were ominous. It was their simplicity and the way they were presented.
They were good looking. They were small, they were strong and they were also unique. To make things interesting, they were also pretty fun to play with. But this place…
"Huuuu."
I could feel how Braanwen was feeling right now, I could feel the strange belonging I had with this place– something that creeped me out more than anything else, and I could feel the strange eyes on me.
'This place is strange, but I think the eyes that I am feeling belong to Zoe and Eon.'
The two must be keeping an eye on me since I was originally here to see the room. And seeing as how Eon is not speaking with me through Celes, it seems like this place certainly is the destination.
"Let's go."
I needed to find the door, so I followed after the ray of light. I had to look at some horrible things in the process, but I somehow managed to look past them.
'Feeling a sense of belonging with these horrible things felt worse than actually disliking them.'
It was weird. Even my eyes were not disturbed by a few things that were present here.
'I like cute things but that's limited to creatures. These things… no.'
They were ominous and dark. I tried to avoid them with all my might, but these things… I just don't know why I feel like this.
[{ Master. Seems like that's the place. }]
Ignoring the strange place filled with good and bad things, I reached the end of a certain wall that seemed strangely empty.
"Of all the walls of this place, only this section is empty."
Even the walls of this place were filled with strange things. There were not just paintings here, the things here were simply absurd… and perhaps they were meant to be that way.
'Some things were a little too unique, and even though I like bloodshed and battles, this is not what I like.'
It was dirty. I don't like dirty. Experience exclusive tales on novelbuddy
"Hmmm…"
But this certain wall before us was strangely empty. There was nothing here, aside from the uneven boundary, there wasn't much present. Also, the ray of light coming from the key was going inside this certain wall so this must be the place we were looking for.
"Maybe we found the place." One of Celes' clones was with me right now, but she was not saying anything. She was simply there, and not even Eon was saying anything as if he was waiting for something to happen.
-Oooooooooooooong!
And something did certainly happen right when I took out the key and pointed it towards the wall.
[{ Oho? }]
The section of the empty wall started glowing in the same colorful light as the glass key. The colors were the same, and along with the colors, there was a certain outline similar to most of the doors in this tower.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
-Zaaaaaaaa…
A beam of light shot out from the key as the key itself flew off from my hand. Then, the key crashed into the wall.
-OOOOOOONG!
A bigger blast of light happened, a door that was only a little different form the other usual doors in the tower appeared completely, and the key that I was holding just a moment ago, was currently attached to a complex magic circle present on the door.
"That's quite some magic alright… no wonder even he could not find this."
The complex magic circle was not simply complex. It was far more complex than even the (tier-10) spell of an archmage, the 12-Star magic array, or something made with original runes.
This spell, while not having any verbal interpretation– something like words on it– consisted only of straight lines.
It was triangular so not the usual circular shape. It was also not the same as the usual spells, there was something different about this spell that even I did not understand, however my eyes could see a fragment of divinity within this spell.
"I mean… what?"
For a Spell to contain a fragment of divinity was the same as someone casting a permanent spell with a fragment of divine power that they possessed.
The spell was permanent. It was attached to this door and perhaps the space behind this door so, the whole process that I went through to find this door, if I want to come here once again, I'd have to go through the same shit once again!
How is that even fair?!
-Oooooong!
Anyway, the door was here so it means we have finally found the hidden room of my darling.
[{ "I found it." }]
If he was not saying anything, at least I had to tell him.
[{ "Congrats. You did great." }]
His voice had a hidden happiness in them. He seemed genuinely happy that I found this place.
[{ "Aren't you coming here?" }]
[{ "I'll be there. Go in first. Look around the place." }]
[{ "Hmm? If you say so…" }]
I thought he wanted me to find this place for himself, that's why he tricked me into doing all this and going through all this.
But, now that I've found the place, he did not seem all that excited about it.
[{ "Is something wrong, Eon?" }]
He did not seem worried or anything, but his response did not have the kind of energy that I was expecting. He seemed sad instead.
[{ "Everything's fine. I'll bring Zoe, Anna, and the others. You go in first and look around… it's because of the floor, I'll say that much, so please understand." }]
[{ "Oh…" }]
Because of the spell cast on this room, the room changed its position everyday and it kept changing all the time randomly as well.
There were many reasons he had not been able to find it, and now that I've found it, it just so happens to be on one of the worst floors possible.
[{ "I see. Then, come up quickly or else I will look through all the cool secret things you're hiding here~!" }]
[{ "Sure." }]
He did not seem concerned about it even though the place belonged to him and his beloved master. He should have been more enthusiastic…!
'But I guess he really didn't want me to see this place.'
It was a strange floor filled with strange things. Unlike most of the good places in this tower, this place depicted the reality of life. There were realistic things that would induce fear and anger within one, joy and awe as well.
It was a strange floor. I do understand why he must be concerned right now. But that doesn't mean we should just sit and overthink about this little matter.
"Let's go and see their special place, Branwen."
[{ Yes, master. }]
If it wasn't for the negative-positive mix theme, as well as the strange vibe of this place, I would have liked a few things here as well. But it's fine… when he comes here, I will ask him what this floor was actually all about.
For now, let's see what his room has…
"Alright."
The door wasn't all that fancy, but as soon as we entered inside, we were quite shocked to see the endlessly high ceiling.
The place was not vast like many of the floors or many of the rooms that are present in the tower, but the place certainly had a high ceiling.
And in this high ceiling, there were many things floating around, or suspended in the air.
[DING!]
[DING!]
[DING!]
One of those things suddenly came up to me as soon as I entered the room.
"...!"
And directly started sniffing both me and Branwen as if it was some touch starved puppy.
