Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer-Chapter 399 What... How?!

It was just one mistake and the evil spirit wasn't even underestimating the opponents this time.

The attack pattern that it was using with the curses, spears, and the other weapons was random and set up using the most predictable moves of the opponents.

The degree of finesse the evil spirit put in the attacks was the best from its side, but this situation...

-Clank! Clank! Clank!

The weapons that it was using to attack just a moment before had become useless defensive shields.

It was strange how the boy, that small bastard, did something so unexpected!

Not only he left his place and the back of his partner alone, he almost endangered her life there.

The evil spirit had one goal, and that was to kill the two of these bastards and after that reclaim its toys, hiding some distance away under those powerful shields.

It was confident in its strength and also knew the strength of the enemy to some extent. So it was confident that the most the two of them should do would be to use some great magic or skill to make an opening in the existing situation.

And the evil spirit was already ready for whatever spell or skill they were going to show it.

Both of them had some pretty amazing skills and their magic was just amazing too, but though it took time, the evil spirit had finished finding the cores of the spells that it could use its [Despell] skill on.

It was true that one needed the opposite attribute of the spell to cancel the opponent's magic, but this skill directly affected the core of the spell so it was just as much dangerous to all attribute's spells.

Once the cores were pierced and the spells were canceled, the evil spirit was ready to increase the power of the offensive, and once again, put them into a battle of attrition.

And as the evil spirit had the [Learning] skill, and superior stats, it was confident that it could most definitely drain them of their mental and physical stamina.

It was a good plan and if they surprise it once more; it was confident that it could at least use the countless bones on the ground, use some sticky curses and make a suit that could save it during the fight.

Its analytical ability was exceptional. So great that it already knew that the white bow that the boy used outside put too much burden on him. And also the ability that the girl just used also can't be used more than once anymore.

It knew that he was the one thinking most things here as well as that he trusted her so much that he knew she will be safe even if he abandoned her back. And he trusted that she trusted him, too.

This was crazy! Both of them were crazy!

She could have seriously gotten hurt and he just suddenly left her and believed in her and she believed in him and came out safely from the attacks that were too absurd to even think about...!

Even the evil spirit itself didn't know where it will attack before it actually attacked, but that fucking bastard... as if he could see in the future, he actually read the evil spirit, understood its nature and the whole persona, and made an accurate judgment of where the next attack would come from.

It was a gamble that would need blessed luck to succeed and he took the risk while taking his own 'read' judgments into account.

And they were on the spot...

He won the gamble and was now on the offensive with the upper hand.

-Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiish!

-Clank. Clank. Clank.

He was shooting light attribute enchanted arrows with Tay and the arrows were, though not that effective, definitely making the evil spirit lose his calm composure.

But he wasn't the only one threatening his life right now.

"Haiyaaa!"

The girl, the witch, was also a threat to him right now.

It was only possible for the evil spirit to control a maximum of ten bone weapons with its powers and of these two weapons, even if it used most to just throw at them as projectiles, there were still six spears that it maintained as a moving weapon.

Its control over it was exceptional. Almost as if someone had been trained in controlling the weapons for a long time.

But this ability that could threaten anyone was practically nothing before this fucking bitch.

She just moved... no. She just danced through the gaps between the barrage of arrows and spears, avoided all of the attacks even if they were targeted ones, closed her gap with the evil spirit, and even attacked the shield protecting it.

It was a skill, and the shield had a limited damage threshold, so both of them knew that the evil spirit can't actually keep the shield up for a long time.

It was strange, but the two of them were in perfect harmony too.

-Clank! Clank! Clank!

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiish!

-Booooooooom!

She attacked the enemy from close range while he supported her from the back, dealt damage, and even healed her with healing spell arrows if she allowed any attacks.

Though that rarely happened, the two of them were smiling while fighting this dangerous battle…

The evil spirit also only had a few things it can actually attack with.

The curses and dominated skeleton weapons, the light ray skill and its ultimate skill [Death sentence].

Its high necromancy and domination were the things it used to make the weapons but it must consume a great deal of energy and even if this spirit bastard looked no different from it did at the start of the fight, both of them could tell that it was getting a bit weaker with each passing second. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

Still, it would be tough on them if the fight got stretched out like that.

It was clear that they had to pick up their pace now that they had the upper hand, but it was still tough for them,

The evil spirit had few offensive skills, but it was loaded with support skills and a barrier so strong it didn't even crack at their continuous attacks.

And it was the same barrier as the one around the coffins some distance away from there, so it was more admirable how the evil spirit was using this skill in two different places at once.

It was a great skill, and the barrier was also strong. They knew by now that neither the normal arrow nor the simple swinging of her scythe would affect the barrier.

It was a strange barrier. Its base was dark, but it had a strange eight-faced design that not only increased its strength but also increased the shield's overall magic resistance.

But still, the spells the two of them used threatened him...

[< Fucking bastards...! >]

The spells they used were personal spells made to suit them. It was also something that was too complex to easily understand, but the evil spirit had definitely succeeded in understanding the base of the girl's water attribute spells as well as the boy's light attribute spells.

-Swiiiiiish!

Bet when it actually started using its [Despell] on their spells and the two of them caught on to the fact that their spells were useless before the spirit after that point... the fuckers stopped using those spells.

Yes. They stopped using those specific spells that they had kept using throughout the battle.

The girl started using the spells with darkness attributes which were just totally different from her water attribute spells while the boy... that BASTARD! started light attribute spells even more complex and powerful than the ones before.

And these stronger ones were not just as complex and powerful as just a few moments ago, they actually had a totally different structure than the previous spells.

And he was using these spells as if he was just as much familiar with them as the previous ones.

[< You bastards dare trick me!! >]

Commonly, mages only used certain spells they had mastered in a quick fight like theirs, so even if there was someone like Eon with all six attributes' affinity, it was just too difficult to think that he would have mastered more than one spell structure.

The evil spirit misunderstood the situation as their pre-decided plan. And it acknowledged the boy for coming up with this scenario that even a great plotter like itself hadn't thought of.

It was definitely a counter against someone possessing a despell skill that worked better than reverse calculation magic and was too easy to use. But it was mistaken about this thing.

The two of them never knew what exact skills the evil spirit had and had no certain plan to deal with them.

They had the strategy to defeat it and according to what they were following, they had to make the evil spirit as wary of them as possible, decrease its focus, and allow Eon to leave a 'mark' on this spirit. That was the only thing they had to do for now and the current situation where the evil spirit was angry because they could use diverse kinds of magic was… just a coincidence.

Rein could naturally only use darkness and water spells, so he had taught her different complex and powerful spells, while when talking about Eon himself... well, he could use countless kinds of spells which produce similar results.

His mind was a storage castle that had countless mysteries stored in it, so the light attribute spells were nothing that surprising.

If the enemy knew how the enemy's guns worked, it was just logical that they should change the guns.

But this commonsense was a great blow to the pride of the evil spirit.

-Oooooooooooooong!

The evil spirit, enraged by their actions that were a clear mockery to its great self, started summoning a strange gray light in its hands.

It was murky light that gave off the opposite kind of feeling than the light he was using, and it clearly meant one thing. It was the manifestation of its [Unholy blight] skill.

-Shhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiimmmm!

And this skill, well... it was just too easy to dodge.

[< Bastards!!! >] the evil spirit was even more enraged after they just easily dodged its beam of light. And from the looks of it, it was going to stop the defensive and start a proper physical offensive.

They had tormented him this whole time with their physical weapons and that filthy light energy. There was no way it would make the two's deaths painless.

Its physical powers were far greater than the two of them and the shield around it was something that no normal weak or even strong attacks will be able to break anytime soon.

It was something that won't even break with a (tier-9) offensive spell, so it was the two with far below that level who won't ever be able to break it.

The indirect fight didn't work on it, so it was now determined to finish them off with its own hands.

It would crush the two of them himself, cut them to pieces in front of them, recapture its toys, and then make the two intruders who made him suffer so much as his own precious undead!

It was confident the two of them would make the best toys that can't ever be compared to his useless junk~!

It was ready, so it allowed his disgusting arrow, vanished from the place it was floating, and reappeared just behind the girl that he so much cherished.

It still had control of the six moving swords, but now there weren't any new weapons being thrown at them. Just that the cunning evil spirit had become more aggressive.

'Well... it's good for us anyway.' he thought as he said just one thing to her through their connection.

[[ "Start." ]]

There was a wide smile on his face when he said it and as soon as she heard those words, a similar smile also appeared on her face and used her origin travel skill and vanished...

-Booooooooooom!

And the exact place that she had vanished from was punched by the evil spirit as a crater appeared in this place, shocking the entire room filled with bones!

It was a strong punch that damaged a solid rock ground, but the surprised reaction it got from this unexpected development confused him even more. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

But the evil spirit's unexpected move was a boon for Eon.

As soon as its attack finished and there was a crater before the evil spirit, Eon just moved before the evil spirit without thinking a thing, called out his conditional skill [Stark triangle], and just when a strange triangle of red light manifested on his palm, he...

-Slap!!

He slapped the evil spirit, or the barrier with it, and returned back to the other side where Rein appeared using his [Shadow dive].

It was too sudden, unexpected, and confusing for the evil spirit, and it had no idea what just happened in a matter of seconds.

It didn't even feel the attack from the boy and it was just a child's slap, so it seemed more than another mockery than anything!

[< You @#$#@#$##!! Just die bastards! >]

[< "No. You will be the one to die today. Neron." >]

[< ...?! >]

This one was also unexpected!

The boy who had been recognized as the biggest threat, the biggest eyesore, the greatest enemy, just spoke of its death and its past name in its own native language! A language of old times that only those with the ability to understand the language of Mana could understand.

But he spoke in that language! Something even they who understand it can't do!

It wasn't just shocking... it once again shook the whole world of the evil spirit!!!

But the words he spoke...

[< Nooooo! You all will dieeeee! >]

The evil spirit disappeared again after saying that, but at the time it was confused, Eon had called out a red triangle similar to one before and placed it on Rein's hand.

And just like with the evil spirit, this one also disappeared into her body.

He had already placed the first one in his body, so the things were ready now.

The conditions had been met, and the skill was now fully usable so... he used quick steps without wasting any time, she used [Air steps] and started running on the air, and the evil spirit that had disappeared just a moment before reappeared in the air before her face!

-Swiiiiiiiiiing...!

He swung his strong, ethereal fist! But... there was not even a shred of fear on her face, even though she had sensed the upcoming attack.

The evil spirit knew that she knew just how strong it was and if this attack stuck her, it would be a great problem, but she was... smiling?

And the reason for this smile...

-Shazak!

"What do you think?"

"A few hours?"

"Nah... one is more than enough."

"Can you last for that long?"

"Can you?"

"Who do you think I am?"

"My dear Rein?"

"Bastard... go start."

She smiled and placed another light elemental enchantment on her scythe blade, and gave him a sweet smile before going to the left of the evil spirit, to her position.

He also went to his position after taking out Don and smiled as he looked at the blank, shocked eyes of the evil spirit who was standing in the place where he was just a moment ago.

There was just air before him so his punch had gone to waste, but this sudden thing definitely told it one thing...

The situation... had become so dangerous for it that it could now actually... die.
