Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Eon's POV: ]

I followed Zoe and the others soon after taking care of the hidden genius Prince of Roxanna and the sole successor of its opposing power, and greeted the divine beast with a sincere bow.

"It is a blessing to be in the presence of the great beasts of myths."

They were playing with the others.

Rein was holding them away from the rest of them, the other ladies were admiring their adorable form, while the rest of them had gathered around the ones that found this great creature intimidating.

The boys knew just how dangerous they were and they knew well how things could get dangerous, so they stayed behind and admired them from a distance, only interacting with them for what was necessary.

'They were cautious.'

Even though there was no need to be so.

[ "A successor of a higher being greeting someone such as us like that is not a sight we are familiar with." ]

Instead of using their Mana voice like they were doing to talk with the rest of them, they used a unique way of communication with us.

A way that only Zoe, Rein, our familiars and I could perceive.

"Haha, it is only natural that a normal human being would be respectful towards a divine being. There couldn't be anything surprising about this, right?"

They looked at me with an expression that suggested their interest in this entire situation and… their eyes seemed to be wanting to glimpse inside of me.

[{ *Master…* }]

'Don't. You should restrict them.'

[{ *Yes, master.* }]

They were a divine being so just like Wali and her partner, they possessed the power to see through the mortal things, the mortal matter and the things that were limited by the human limitations.

'Just like every divine being, they possessed the omniscient power to know things about any individual or any thing that they wanted and were permitted to know.'

There were few things that they could not know or access as a divine beast, and they knew that very well. So…

[ "Fascinating… as expected from the successor of a Wisdom Sovereign." ]

When Lucy stopped them from accessing important things in my mind- things like who I was, who my master was, some important memories, and information on the kind of knowledge I possessed- they found it extremely fascinating.

-Ooooooooooooooooong!

So much so that they froze everything around us except the three of us, and flew down from Rein's palm.

[ "It was already fascinating for us that so many children from the academy were visiting this place as if they knew about its existence and location, however, the kind of children that have visited this sanctuary today surprised us even more." ]

They looked at Alf and Bell with a smiling expression…

[ "A child with a fascinating of understanding of true Magic and a child with an extraordinary understanding of three original colours." ]

They then looked at Lizzy and Quin, and a rather concerning look clouded their face.

[ "Descent of a hell ruler, one that was once a prince of the heavens… and a child that possesses the qualities to succeed the (Ocean sovereign)." ]

They had their doubts about these two from the looks of it, but they moved on and looked at the side where Tia had been arguing with Ezra and Prince Alph.

[ "A cheerful fairy that possesses the qualities of a True leader, a mirthless spirit cursed by Time, and a unique pinnacle master possessing the blood of the ones

Blessed by the Original Crimson Flames." ]

It was interesting to us how they were describing them, and it was also insightful for us as well… it was a kind of information that we might not have been able to hear had we not had the qualifications to do so.

We weren't normal humans nor were we just some unique students of the academy… we were a little more than that.

That was the very reason this divine being was using their powers to talk with us personally.

[ "A child that has seen misery and one that has known pain and loneliness in the world he is from." ]

Even president Zodiac and Cradle were frozen by their powers.

[ "Humans don't get to come here often, but seeing so many of you was a surprise for us. However, then we sensed the presence of another divinity from your pack." ]

They looked at Zoe, who was smiling back at them, with an interesting expression.

[ "After the descendents of the lord that forged the foundations of the academy, this is our first time coming across a different, independent, newborn." ]

Zoe was the child of a higher divine beast that possessed her divinity since her birth. She was a different being from her mother who had reincarnated with all her memories of her previous lives.

She was young so she could not control her divinity yet, and thus she could not access all of her powers that she was born with.

They were sealed inside her and were restricted by the Blockages of her Solnova junctions.

But, it was a momentary thing.

[ "It is rare to see a Newborn pureblood in this era. Only makes one wonder who your predecessor might have been." ]

They certainly did not know about her mom and my master and Lucy had confirmed that already when I started searching for this cave.

They weren't around when the academy was being created by the [Masters] and they also certainly weren't around when the Keeper was created to protect the core fragment of the island.

[ "It's rare to see the successors of a Mythical power as well." ]

They looked at Rein with another unique gaze and tried looking into her eyes until their own pitch black eyes turned into a light shade of pink and they had to close them in a hurry.

[ "Truth is precious yet dangerous. The one with the duty to Perceive these truths and keep them alive is a dreadful one." ]

They looked at me once again and the smiling expression they had on their face was back.

[ "But you know what is more interesting than all of that?" ]

With their wings wide open, they jumped in the air and flew on top of my head.

[ "A young human possessing a soul far older than his age, along with a primordial Soul Armament, an unawakened Stigma, as well as a body with the affinity for all six of the true elements." ]

-Oooooooooooooong!

A light exploded from their body and blinded me for a moment, but it was only momentary.

[ "Though, what makes you more interesting… is your very existence in this realm." ]

When I opened my eyes, I was staring in the same cave that we had been before, but what I was seeing was most certainly not what we had been seeing all this time.

[ "Your connection to your origin is strangely strong, indicating a deep relationship with the illuminator of the universe, while your past experiences makes you a unique individual even from the standards of this world." ]

In the place where the Elemental helix was supposed to be, there was only a pillar of light that seemed to pierce the very sky above us, and in the centre of this visible gold-black light was the being that was talking with us at the momentâ€" in their true form that must have been what She wanted to express.

[ "You must have faced great difficulties finding out about the information of this place, planning out the course of your journey, and evaluating the safest route to pass through the gateways, correct?" ]

It certainly was difficult, I had to spend many days looking for the information regarding this place, send out Celes' clone to various places and see weather the places mentioned in the stories passed through oral traditions even existed or not.

It was a difficult journey finding this place, but if it weren't for the knowledge I acquired from the Keeper and through the history books I read back in our tower library, we might not have been able to get here.

'In the process of finding these places I even acquired information on the house whistle and was able to acquire it after almost facing death.'

It was difficult to find this place, but the appearance of the flower gardens all over the island outskirts certainly helped me a lot… but then there was the request from the headmaster, and the truths that we got to know in that holy city.

'I didn't think we would make it in time so I wasn't sure if I will get to take all of them with us.'

But, it all turned out well… which, should not have been the case from the understanding of the being before me.

[ "Then how is it that someone as wise as you, someone possessing such great talents and potential, someone with a special future ahead of them… could be so altruistic?" ]

They were asking me why I would take so many people with their own unique potentials to a place that would inspire them and make them a better version of themselves.

'This place had birthed a legendary figure of the past whose existence is still well known to this world.'

The legacy that he created with his family and the way they overtook a portion of the entire world's market of their time is a tale that is taught to us all in the academy. And, this being before me was the very creature that inspired that person to change the world's direction and bring multiple revolutions.

It was thanks to this being that the lost, nameless merchant became The richest person in this world's history to have ever lived. And he was not the only successful person that had been inspired by this being's presence.

There were many more… and now, we would also be one of them.

Which wasn't exactly a good thing from the perspective of a wise person.

[ "It is understandable if you were after the seed of the Elemental gateway, but we understand you know how difficult achieving that would actually be.

So, you do not come here just so that your 'friends' could have an epiphany nor did you come here for the sake of enjoyment." ]

Their true eyes beyond the pillar of black-gold light looked right into my eyes once again, and with another flash of light blinding me, I was back to the cave where everyone else had been frozen.

[ "There must be some other objective behind your presence here, so… tell us, child." ]

Seeing their smaller hamster form with those tiny hands and those pretty wings right after seeing their true, indescribable appearance, was an absurd experience.

But, seeing their serious eyes was even more terrifying…

[ "Tell us, what do you really want?" ]

They were asking me about the true reason I was here, and I had no reason to hide it since it was something I was here to discuss with them.

"Haaaa."

So, taking a deep breath and first calming my heart, I looked straight into the eyes of the being, and shook my head.
